In the city of Qing Dynasty, there were two alleys on the southern sides of Changshun Street in Chengdu in the past. Because the alleys were at the Yousi Yamen, which was under the garrison generals, which were responsible for the affairs of the three ministries of the Ministry of Personnel, Household and Li, and the Zusi Yamen, which was responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Criminal and Work, so the alley on the east was called Zusi Hutong, and the one on the right was called Yousi Hutong.

During the Republic of China period, the name of hutongs was abolished and the two hutongs were renamed. At the same time, in order to show the new situation after the victory of Revolution 11, the two alleys happened to be on both sides of the General's yamen, so they were renamed Dongsheng Street and Xisheng Street. Today, the "Chengdu Past" series of reports jointly launched by Shenniao Zhixun × Chengdu Geography Office . Let's talk about the historical origins of Xisheng Street and the temple, and the past of modern revolutionary storms it witnessed.

is different from Dongsheng Street, and Xisheng Street is even more connected with the temple: in the Ming Dynasty, there was Shixi Temple here. According to legend, its predecessor was , the Longyuan Temple built by Wang Yu of the Jin Dynasty , donated his private house, and was later renamed Konghui Temple, which is likely to be the earliest Buddhist temple in Chengdu city.

After the reconstruction of in the Tang Dynasty, Konghui Temple was renamed Shengshou Temple. It is one of the seven major Buddhist temples in the country in the Tang Dynasty and the second largest Buddhist temple in Chengdu alongside Daci Temple. Shengshou Temple has a large number of exquisite clay sculptures and murals. The "Picture of Outing the Gorge" and "Picture of Mount in the Fog" painted by Li Sheng, who is known as "General Little Li", are the most famous. According to legend, Xuanzang lived in this temple when he went to Chengdu to study Buddhism, and he took the precepts here (there are also articles that Xuanzang received the precepts at Daci Temple, but it is not clear yet). There is a stone rhinoceros in

Shengshou Temple . It is said to be a relic of Li Bing's water control period and a famous historical site in ancient Chengdu. Therefore, the people also call this temple Shixi Temple or Shiniu Temple; poets such as Du Fu , Cen Shen , Lu You and other poets all have poems. When Mancheng was built in the Qing Dynasty, Shixi Temple moved to Nanjiaochang side and built the Right Si Yamen at the former site of the original Shixi Temple. Therefore, Li Zhesheng said in "Inscription on the Stone Sixi Street of Xisheng Street" that "Chengdu has ancient rhinoceros, and now it exists, and the west corner of the Right Sijing Lane."

Time flies. In modern times, the revolutionary trend swept across Xisheng Street. In 1913, the Provincial No. 1 Middle School, which was first built on Yuhuangguan Street, moved here. Chengdu people generally call it Provincial No. 1 Middle School, which is the earliest provincial middle school opened by the government in Sichuan. After the May Fourth Movement, this middle school became one of the most revolutionary middle schools in Chengdu at that time. Li Shuoxun (named Lee Kaizhuo at the time) and Yang Hansheng (named Ouyang Benyi at the time) were both student leaders of the school.

1928, in order to oppose the Kuomintang party stick Yang Tingquan as principal, a huge student movement broke out and beat Yang Tingquan to death in the conflict, which was called the "No. 1 Middle School Incident." In 1933, several local powerful figures from Sichuan jointly opened Xiejin Middle School, which later became a school with strong revolutionary power. Shuzhong Progressives call it "Sichuan's Shaanxi Public School ". There is a rumor in Chengdu that "we need to revolution, study as a cooperative advance; we need to save the country, go to northern Shaanxi."

After the founding of New China, Xiejin Middle School was successively renamed to Qing Xielian Middle School, Chengdu No. 28 Middle School and Jinhe Street Middle School. In 1993, Xiejin Middle School was restored and its old name was renamed to Chengdu Shude Xiejin Middle School, which we are familiar with in 2009.

The revolutionary wind continues, and the seeds of revolution are endless. In October 1949, the underground party organization in western Sichuan established the temporary working committee of western Sichuan, with Li Weijia as secretary and the main leader of the " Sichuan Kangbian People's Guerrilla Column ". According to the decision of the temporary working committee, on November 5, the underground party organization in Chengdu established the "Interim Work Department of Underground Party in West Sichuan to stay in Chengdu" (referred to as the "Ministry of Work"), with Wang Yiping as secretary.

"Ministry of Works" is the command center of the last underground organization of the Communist Party of China in old Chengdu. In a short period of time, it transferred members to the guerrillas, raised weapons, ammunition and medicines, protected national property and archives, instigated and prepared for the Pengxian Uprising, and welcomed the liberation of Chengdu, and did a lot of work. This "Ministry of Works" was set up in the residence of Wang Hongshi, a progressive man in the Jincheng Bank dormitory on Xisheng Street.
