What we forget is not only these alleys, but also the history and culture they carry.
Today I will introduce an interesting one - Shefansi Hutong (now Minfeng Hutong).
Minfeng Hutong east entrance to the north. On the north side of the alley is Juntai Department Store
Why is it called Shefan Temple? It turns out that some temples in old Beijing have to give up food on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar to help the poor. Among them, the longest, largest and most far-reaching one is Shefan Temple .
Sheren Temple: There is food when hunger, there is a doctor when illness, there is a coffin when death
Sheren Temple, it was called Sheren Candle Temple in the Ming Dynasty, and it was called Sheren Temple in the Qing Dynasty, also known as Faguang Temple.
"Records of Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty" records: "The imperial court set up Yangji Temple, and the poor people had their own records. Those without adopted two temples, candles and barbarians. " (candle temple refers to Shefan Temple)
"The Draft of Jingshifang Lane" in the Qing Dynasty records: "Shefan Candle Temple is said to be given to poor people with corn, and there is a doctor for illness, and there is a coffin for death. ."
In other words, Shefan Temple was first "Yangji Temple" in the Ming Dynasty, adopting "poor people". In addition to giving porridge to the poor people, it also helped treat diseases and provide coffins.
sanitary: The tradition of temples
In the past, temples had the tradition of setting up sanitary houses to help the poor on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.
Sheanji is located diagonally opposite the Xidan Shopping Mall, facing north and south.

Every winter, not only on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, Shefan Temple will make porridge every morning, and the poor in cities can get . Young and old people lined up in long queues with pots and pans, waiting for the porridge to be served. However, the so-called " bowls and large spoons are the best ", a spoon controls the amount of porridge.

I'm afraid most people don't know about it now. Its location back then was near the Parkson Shopping Center in Fuxingmen. The alley where you are located is called , Lyingfo Temple Street, .

According to an old Beijinger in his 80s, this temple is not big, but it was the last temple in Beijing that was stored in . Until was eaten mixed noodles, during the Japanese and puppet government ruled, he still gave up porridge rice.
In addition, next to Baita Temple, there is an guarding the country Yongqing Guoyin Temple . This temple is even smaller, with only three nuns, and they all gave up their meals. At that time, this temple was located in Guanyin Temple Hutong , which was on the first, fifteenth day of the lunar month and Labashe porridge, and it persisted until the in the 530s of the last century.

There is a saying that goes, ", the full man will not forget the hungry man, ." Some people with kind thoughts and a little surplus are always happy to give the temple some food. In addition, the number of monks or nuns in the temple was limited and they could not eat it, so they took it out to do good deeds and give up porridge.
In such an era when people were living in poverty and lacked material resources, some temples could persist in sacrificing porridge and helping the poor. It was touching to think of it.
No matter whether you are from all over the world, or from a small family or a variety of people, can drink a bowl of hot porridge in the cold winter and fill your stomach , which shows the inclusiveness of Beijing.

Small alley There are many allusions
In this extremely ordinary alley that only 300 meters long , there were Buddhist temples and Taoist Red Swastika Society, Beijing 36 Middle School, the Film Script Creation Office of the Central Film Bureau and the Office and dormitory of the Film Art Committee.
Minfeng Hutong East Entrance You can see the end of it at a glance
In the past, here, The old predecessors in the Chinese film industry , such as Cai Chusheng, Shi Dongshan, Situ Huimin and other masters often appear.
Gyeonggi-do next to the west of Sheansi Hutong. It was once the location of Peking Art College. It was the place where art masters Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian taught. It is now listed as a cultural protection unit in Xicheng District, but its former appearance has been greatly improved.
To the south of Shefansi Hutong is Baimiao Hutong , where Peking Opera master Xun Huisheng once lived. Speaking of the "July 7 Incident", Xun Huisheng ignored his personal safety and braved the rain of bullets to go to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War to perform condolences. After returning to Beijing, he performed charity many times. The patriotic Xun Huisheng became a thorn in the eyes of Japanese invaders and traitors. A pseudo-county magistrate fell in love with Xunzhai, which was on the tree tree and relied on the Japanese to occupy the house. Xun Huisheng had no choice but to move his whole family to , No. 22, Baimiao Hutong, Xidan.
However, when the building of the Bank of China Headquarters was built in the 1990s, Baimiao Hutong had completely disappeared.
When the place name was rectified in 1965, Shefansi Hutong was renamed Minfeng Hutong .
Now, the sign of Minfeng Hutong still stands at the intersection, but the houses and buildings on both sides of the alley have long been demolished. The alley seems to have become an aisle between two high-rise buildings, Juntai Department Store and the Bank of China Head Office. No one would have thought that there was a Sheren Temple here hundreds of years ago.
The Red Swastika Society, the 36th Middle School, and the Film Bureau have all turned into passing smoke and clouds, remaining in people's memories in fragments.
