Binhe Road:
is located in the eastern part of the old city of Xichang in and belongs to the Beicheng Street Office. The east-west direction starts from the East Gate (Andingmen), connects to Nanqiaokou and Sanchakou North Road, connects to Xin Market on the north side, and connects to Daxiangkou Street in the west, and connects to Daxiangkou Street in the west, and connects to Daxiangkou Lower Street in the bigxiangkou Street, opposite to the commercial street. The entire Binhe Road is divided into three sections, one section starts from the East Gate (Andingmen) to the Shengli Bridge, the second section starts from the Shengli Bridge to the Daniel Lane, and the third section starts from the Daniel Lane to the Nanqiao entrance. The road is named after the flood control embankment along the East River. The eastern section of the ring city was originally named Huancheng Road. It was renamed Binhe Road in 1988.
Close the door. Early in the morning, Bian Huacheng, who was covered in white hair and had a white beard, leaned on a crutch and took a staggering step. As usual, he caught the bus, walked again, and went through Datongmen and Binhe Road to the "Bianchao Clinic" for a clinic.
Early winter morning, a wave of chills came, and the blue sky, the warm sun pouring down comforted the early passers-by. With the end of the rainy season, the East River in the river has contracted into a shallow stream. On the road, vehicles roared past; on the sidewalk, people who were rushing to work and sending their children to school were in a hurry, and those who rushed to the early stage were already full of return...
Through reading glasses, in the eyes of 75-year-old Bian Huacheng, this is a new scenery of Binhe Road. The noisy and messy Binhe Road has passed away and only stays forever in his mind.

When it comes to old Xichang, history talks endlessly.
"There was no Binhe Road in the old Xichang. The current Binhe Road was in the past, and it was only after the river embankment was built that it gradually had such a road." The former vice chairman of the CPPCC, Xichang , who had presided over the compilation of Xichang's literature and history, Shi Zaide, who was 78 years old, was from Jingyang, Shaanxi Province. When he came to Xichang, he was the seventh generation and was a native of Xichang. If you want to talk about Lao Xichang, he has the right to speak.
Xichang Old Town is located on a fan-shaped gentle slope. This Feng Shui treasure land is backed by Beishan, with the Huaiyuan River (commonly known as the Donghe), the Ningyuan River (commonly known as the Xihe), and the Lan'an River (commonly known as the Changmaxi River), and the three rivers flow into the south of the Haihe River respectively.
1983, Section 3 of Binhe Road was still just the East River embankment.
is surrounded by mountains and water, and there is no risk of lack of water, but it is inevitable that there will be troubles of floods. After entering modern times, "the forests were cut down (Beishan)" and "the plants were cut down but not cultivated. The vast and vast forest walls of the past have been depressed in a series of depressions." (Quoted from " Xichang County Chronicles·Geographical Chronicles·Section of Xichang Mountains")
According to records, Jianchang City suffered from floods: the first time was in the tenth year of Daoguang (1830), when the flood in the East River broke out and destroyed the city walls by two and seven feet. The second time was May 29, 1891, when a major flood broke out in the Donghe River, which was rare in a century. This major flood destroyed dozens of feet of the city wall. The dozens of streets, Shuncheng Street, Daxiangkou, Dawei Lane, Yaojia Lane, Sauce Bridge, Zhanjia Lane, Baiyi Lane, Dashiban, Duanjia Street, Tonghai Lane, Xiyugou, Kuixing Tower, Banbian Street, Denggangba and dozens of streets and alleys in Zhangjiatun, Wujiatun and Qijiatun turned into a vast ocean. The Huimin Palace, Wuxian Temple, Yuwang Palace, Fuguo Temple and other temples disappeared. The fields were silted and flowed back into the sea, flooding more than 2,000 hectares of fertile land.
And in the memory of Bian Huacheng and Shi Zaide, the flood that broke out in the Donghe River in the summer of 1955 is still deeply imprinted in their minds: the flood destroyed Hedong Street, Duanjia Street, Tonghai Lane... Hundreds of private houses were destroyed, and more than a hundred people were killed, which was a terrible sight.
In July 1985, the East and West Rivers experienced another major flood, with 25 flooded government agencies and more than 500 mu of farmland, and warehouses and shops lost 890,000 yuan.
It was from the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty that in order to protect the home, people and water, cities and rivers began to compete, and the East River kicked off the prelude and bridge construction.
In the second year of Xuantong (1910), after the Donghe River water destroyed the Dongcheng embankment, it built a dike from east to west to protect the city wall.
In the 36th year of the Republic of China (1947), the Xichang Police Command borrowed 30 million yuan from the China Farmers Bank and began to build a 144-meter Shilanshaba in Huangniu Bay, Donghekou, and dredge the river channel from Dongmen to Snow Bridge for 1,050 meters long. There were no large machinery and equipment at that time, but the craftsmen had their own way. "Taking materials locally, making full use of the stones washed down from the upstream, and building these large and small stones into a dike, saving both efforts and time, and clearing the river, killing two birds with one stone." Shi Zaide said. A stone embankment was built between Dongjiekou and Yushi Street. This is how Shimazi's place name comes from it.
After the founding of New China, the Water Conservancy Bureau of the Xikang Provincial Department of Agriculture and Forestry listed the East and West Rivers as a provincial-level project. From May to June 1952, the provincial government allocated 385,000 kilograms of rice to be used for flood control projects in the East and West Rivers. At first, the main focus was on diversion and the auxiliary focus was on building dikes. In 1955, we focused on diversion of river troughs, widened and raised the river embankments on both sides, built stone embankments to seal the support, and built Dingba to support water. The dangerous construction site will fill the cages and reinforce them.
In six years, Dong and Xihe dredged 121,200 cubic meters of earth and stone, built 21,600 cubic meters of dry stone embankment, loaded more than 3,000 zhang of cages, spent 137,000 yuan, and 332,500 kilograms of rice. By 1966, a total of 2,218.3 meters of lime mortar stone embankment was built, costing 601,700 yuan.
In 1955, Donghe adopted the governance plan of "building dikes along the water, focusing on dredging, and protecting dikes in dangerous sections", which has been used to this day.
To cure the floods in the East and West Rivers, the state invested 14.09 million yuan in 1958, and took 8 years to implement aircraft sowing and afforestation in the West and West River Basin of Xichang. It later became one of the best-achieving aerial forest areas in the country.
After 1966, with the expansion of cities, in addition to state-funded buildings, more and more government agencies and units along the riverside prepared for self-built embankments, which accelerated the governance process.
"After the founding of New China, every year before the rainy season comes, the government will organize cadres, staff, school students, and urban residents of the riverside units to invest in labor to build embankments and dams." Shi Zaide recalled, "The river dam is full of people. The stones are moved and the embankments are built to resist the floods that may come in the rainy season."
By 1980, the Donghe River was built 1,000 meters (600 meters built by the government agencies), and 200 meters were reinforced, and the lime mortar embankments were changed to cement mortar embankments. The embankment structure was also improved, which improved the quality of the project.
1986, the construction of embankments in East and West Rivers reached its climax again. By November 1990, the embankment of the East River was built from the north to the west (3,243 meters on the east bank and 3,241 meters on the west bank).
...
"There is no road on the ground, and if you walk a lot, it will become a road." As Mr. Lu Xun said, in the process of continuous reinforcement and heightening of the river embankment, slowly stepped on a road along the river embankment on the side of the Datongmen of the Donghe River - Binhe Road.
Noisy and messy old time
In the old days, there were two main transportation routes between Jianchang Prefecture and outside the region. One of them was to go out of the south gate, cross the Donghe River and cross Yao Mountain to the south to lead to Dali , Kunming can even reach Central Asia and other countries and regions in the world. The wooden cover bridge built in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties is the transportation bridge built on the Donghe River.
corridor bridge across the river connects the ancient city Datong Gate and Hedong Street across the bank. It is about 100 meters long and is an important transportation hub on the southward channel of Xichang. The bridge is called Datong Bridge because it is a river bridge that travels south of the city through Datong Gate. In 1916 and 1917, the Donghe River suffered floods for two consecutive years, and the bridge was washed away.
So, for a long time, there was no bridge on the East River. During the dry season, everyone either drifts or jumps through the river while jumping stones; in the rainy season, they use nails to fix the logs or wooden boards to build the bridge. "When it is wide, there are 7 or 8 logs, and when it is narrow, there are only 4 or 5 logs", passing through the bridge. Once the bridge is washed away and the water is fast and deep, some people will make a living by collecting money and carrying people across the river.
In the 1950s, in order to facilitate the travel of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the Xichang County People's Government raised funds to build a stone arch bridge a hundred meters upstream of the original Datong Bridge. In the 1960s, it was rebuilt into a cement bridge - the old Shengli Bridge - to make up for the inconvenience caused to the people of Xichang after the water was destroyed by the Datong Bridge.
is on the old passage to enter and exit the city. Of course, the lines from Shimazi, Binhe Road to Datongmen have their own traffic. Farmers outside the city carried their own vegetables and brought them to the city to sell them, bought salt and cloth, and went in and out of Dali and Kunming. More importantly, fishermen living next to Qionghai will go to the city to sell fish, shrimp, water chestnut and sea vegetables. In the river dam and on the river embankment, many people also set up stalls here to start trading, which was very lively. On the side of the city wall, many houses gradually stood up.
After the founding of New China to the time of reform and opening up, many factory enterprises and units were also welcomed on Binhe Road: the former Xichang County Construction Second Company (hereinafter referred to as the "Second Construction Department", the former County Municipal Administration Office, the former Xichang County Library, the former Xichang City Vegetable Company, the former Xichang County Furniture Factory No. 2, Zhou Coal Construction Company, the cast iron factory, etc.) were mainly concentrated in the first and second sections of Binhe Road outside the East Gate.
former Party Secretary Liu Kaihua, who was a carpenter, worked in the former Xichang County Construction Company No. 1 and was transferred to the Second Construction Department in 1980. "At that time, the office of the Second Construction Department was on the city wall where the east gate was now. Later, it merged with the Sand and Grape Company. The territory was quite large. In the middle, except for the iron factory, the road maintenance section, the family area, and the foundry, all belonged to the Second Construction Department."
" During the planned economy, our furniture factory was very prosperous. Our factory covers an area of 15 acres, and the tables, chairs and benches of the entire city were produced by us, with good efficiency. We can get a salary of more than 100 yuan a month!" Zhang Zongrong, who was the "third-year old", was assigned to the Xichang Furniture Factory No. 2 located in the second section of Binhe Road after returning to the city in 1972. When recalling that time, the old man's eyes shone.
In 1973, Bian Chenghua's son, Bian Chao, was born. Later, he grew up in the family district of Zhouriza Company, which was across the river from Datongmen. When I was a child, Bian Chaochang crossed the Donghe River and went to the city to play via Binhe Road.
"At that time, Binhe Road had no guardrails along the river embankment. The road was dirt and bumpy, but it was very lively. In that era, the most people were counting the people who bought and sold grain tickets and gasoline tickets. There were many street stalls along the road, including antiques, cultural relics, ancient coins, and old cars. There were all kinds of old clothes, books and cars. Of course, there were also many counterfeit and shoddy products among them." Binhe Road in the 1980s was vivid in Bian Chao's memory when he was a child.
In 1986, after someone introduced that Bian Chenghua bought a street-side house on the second floor of Section 2 of Binhe Road, and then opened the first floor of the street-side into a clinic - "Bianchao Clinic". Later, after graduating from Liangshan Medical School, Bian Chao worked as a health soldier in the army, and after he was discharged from the army, he also went to the clinic to attend a consultation with his father.
Zhou Can'e, who opened a flavored snack in Lulin Lane, also bought a two-story house near Datong Gate on Binhe Road in 1987. Since then, Zhou Can'e has lived on Binhe Road until the end of her life. My daughter Yuan Xiaoping and her sister stayed there all the time.
After the reform and opening up, under the impact of the market economy, the former Xichang County Furniture Factory No. 2, Yuanzhou Coal Construction Company, former Xichang County Construction Second Company, Yuanxiao County Iron Factory, former Xichang County Vegetable Company and other units have lost their glory, and may withdraw from the historical stage or seek new ways out for bleak operations.
In 2014, the Binhe Road Farmers' Market was often blocked and blocked.
Bian Chao, who practices medicine here, and Yuan Xiaoping, who lives here, talk about Binhe Road at this time: Although people are still coming and going, they are no longer a commercial center, and are mixed with fish and dragons, gradually becoming a gray area on the edge of Xichang Old Town; on the Shengli Bridge connecting Binhe Road, people and cars are mixed up, and they are blocked. When the wind blows, the dust is flying; by the river embankment, either fortune tellers or secretly sell drugs or take drugs; odor comes out from the store selling dogs and cats, and people urinate and defecate everywhere on the river embankment, which is dirty and smelly; Shengli Da on the side of the municipal administration office At the bridgehead, the second-hand bicycle market has become a channel for stealing bicycles; when walking towards the east gate, the old red brick bungalows on both sides of the road have become slaughtering markets for buying and selling suckling pigs, and the smell is very stinking...
What scared Yuan Xiaoping the most was the night of Binhe Road: "It was very messy, and he almost dared to go out. He was often awakened by the cry for help from robbing people and things at night."
Gradually, the "famous" of Binhe Road and Shimazi are well-known.
Two faces of Binhe Market
The second section of Binhe Road in the morning was very lively. Binhe Farmers' Market and Guangping Market are lively places, which serve the ingredients and seasonings of nearby residents and a considerable number of restaurants in Xichang City. The shops facing the street are mainly dry miscellaneous stores, pickled barbecue shops, and frozen goods shops. In front of the dry miscellaneous stores with spices and chili, the boss is bargaining with the buyer; in front of the pickled barbecue shop next to it, there are ham, bacon and sausages hanging, and people come to buy and ask for prices from time to time. Entering the market, chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cattle and sheep, vegetables and fruits are operated in an orderly manner.
In fact, these two markets on Binhe Road are the results of Binhe Road market regulation and are hard-won.
In the 1980s, Binhe Road Farmers' Market opened.
After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, in order to revitalize the economy, Xichang restored 17 rural markets in 1979 and opened 14 new markets. The Binhe Market, which is located on the Binhe Road from Nanqiao Qiaotou to the second section of Binhe Road, is among them. For this reason, 150 new fish ponds and 42 meat racks have been built. This is the earliest riverside market.
market is relaxed, and the long-suppressed demand for purchase and sales is instantly released. The open-air and limited stalls in the Binhe Market can no longer bear the demand for purchase and sale. In 1990, a new comprehensive market for steel frame lead roofs on Binhe Road was built with a loan of 2 million yuan, with a construction area of 9,114 square meters and 1,000 fixed stalls.
1997 Spring Festival, people bought candy at the Binhe Road Farmers' Market.
The original intention of establishing and expanding the Binhe market was to solve the problem of the locals' vegetable basket. However, due to the convenient transportation and the continuous expansion of the scale of vegetable planting around Xichang, more and more people from all over the state come to Xichang to wholesale various vegetables. The Binhe market has assumed the function of vegetable wholesale, and the market is becoming larger and larger, and the impact is becoming more and more wide.
2009, the Binhe Road Farmers' Market was very lively.
Binhe Road Vegetable Market was once the largest vegetable market and vegetable wholesale center in Xichang. Vegetable wholesale in 17 counties and cities in the province, as well as vegetables inside and outside the prefecture, such as Yunnan, Ya'an , Panzhihua, etc., are traded here. Once the time comes every day, the entire road will be blocked by various vehicles coming to trade vegetables and fruits, and passing vehicles, pedestrians and nearby residents will be in a miserable way.
In 2005, the Xichang Municipal Government invested a lot of money and manpower to renovate Binhe Road, demolished the original Binhe Market, and built a new asphalt road and river embankment garden corridor, hoping to build it into an important leisure and tourism place for citizens. After that, the environment of the entire Binhe Road has improved.
However, in less than two years, Binhe Road once again experienced many problems such as the prosperity of the wholesale market, but traffic congestion, dirt and messy phenomena.
From 2007 to March 2016, for the law enforcement personnel, "vegetable" vegetable farmers and vegetable wholesalers of Xichang City Urban Management Bureau, it was an unbearable past for the law enforcement personnel, "vegetable" vegetable farmers and vegetable wholesalers:
In late May 2010, due to the market disturbances and blocking traffic, Xichang City launched the entry and standardization of vegetable wholesale transactions, and moved the Binhe Road vegetable wholesale market to Nantan Market as a whole. At that time, the Xichang Municipal Urban Management Bureau dispatched up to 60 staff members to work at all night at various intersections of Binhe Road to strictly prevent vegetable wholesalers from entering Binhe Road again.
But things went against my expectations. Nantan Vegetable Wholesale Market lasted for only 5 months, and the vegetable farmers moved to Binhe Road Market and continued to wholesale vegetables. After
, the law enforcement officers of urban management and traffic management, vegetable farmers, and vegetable wholesalers fought a "protracted war" and "guerrilla warfare". All parties were full of bitterness and exhausted both physically and mentally. As time goes by and the development of Xichang city, the situation has not only not improved, but the contradictions are constantly intensifying.
In 2014, with the establishment of the comprehensive rectification command center for the old city (Jianchang Ancient City), a series of combined punches have also ushered in the transformation of the entire Binhe Road.
In 2015, the construction of "one wall, one floor, one road", and the Andingmen Tower, that is, the East Gate Tower, was rebuilt. All units and housing on both sides of Binhe Road starting from the east gate were demolished and relocated, the road surface was widened and asphalt roads were paved, green belts were built, and parking lots were built. The Municipal Water Resources Bureau, Municipal Administration Office and Municipal Library have moved one after another. Yuan Xiaoping moved out of his home on Binhe Road where he had lived for more than 20 years, and Bianchao Clinic also signed a demolition agreement.
2018, the whole view of Binhe Road.
On June 30, 2016, after 15 months of demolition and reconstruction, the new Victory Bridge was officially opened. Two-way four-lane motor vehicle lane, three green belts are lined with non-motorized lanes and sidewalks, giving people a sudden sense of enlightenment. The bridge connects Binhe Road, Datong Gate and the newly built Hedong Avenue. During the period of
, the renovation project of Donghe West Road from the old city area to the near Dongmen was implemented. The road was 640 meters long and the lane was a two-way six-lane plus non-motor vehicle lanes and sidewalks. The road connecting Binhe Road to Shangxi Street is widened.
In February 2016, the Xichang Municipal People's Government issued an announcement on the relocation of Binhe Road Vegetable Wholesale Market, and decided to open Liangshan Honglin Agricultural Products Wholesale Trading Logistics Center as a new vegetable wholesale market from 12:00 on March 6, 2016. Binhe Road Vegetable Wholesale Market will no longer undertake vegetable wholesale functions, and its basic retail service functions will be transferred to the newly built Guangping Market and Binhe Farmers' Market located in the second section of Binhe Road.
Since then, Binhe Road has been reborn and has completely bid farewell to the "black history". has become a good place for citizens to take leisure walks after dinner, and nearby residents can finally have a good sleep.
Binhe Road symbol worth remembering
Although Binhe Road has a disgraceful "black history" and although its history is not very long, it still has symbols worth remembering.
"Doctor Bian, I inquired for a long time before I found this place, and finally found it!" On the first floor of a residential building in Hedongyuan Community, looking at the sign of the "Bianchao Clinic", an Yi aunt was overjoyed.
Liu Kaihua and Bian Huacheng.
is good, it is border clinic , , the only clinic on Binhe Road in the past was opened in 1989 until it was demolished at the end of 2015. Don’t look at this small clinic, it’s a big deal. Bian Huacheng, the owner of the clinic, studied under the famous Xichang doctor Liu Bokun, and later became his son-in-law and grandson Bian Chao, who became the seventh generation of medical practitioners in the Liu family.
"In the early stage of the opening of the clinic, my father was on the clinic, and my grandfather (Liu Bokun) would also come to the clinic during the holidays. As long as my grandfather came, there were a lot of people who came to see the doctor and needed to queue up in advance."Bian Chao talked about his grandfather's medical skills and fame, and talked endlessly.
After the founding of New China, most of the people who traveled to Binhe Road and Shimazi were the lowest-level people. There was a headache and fever, and going to Binchao Clinic to see a doctor is the most convenient choice. With the kindness and kindness, Bianhuacheng and Bianchao have treated countless patients over the years. Many people regard "Bian doctor" to see a doctor, and the reputation of "Bian doctor on Binhe Road" has spread wildly.
Bianchao Clinic closed down for a while after the demolition, but since it reopened in Hedongyuan Community, many old patients who know "Bian doctor on Binhe Road" will still find it.
Nowadays, the cost of renting a house and opening a clinic has increased sharply, and it has become more laborious to go out early and come back late. Bian Huacheng is already a "8" person, and his health is sometimes good and sometimes bad, but he and his son still decided to open the clinic to "do their duty as a doctor."
And for the old people in Xichang, The most beautiful memory on Binhe Road is Shimazi mutton. In Shi Zaide's memory, Shimazi had mutton food during the Republic of China: "When I was a child, my grandfather would take me to Shimazi to eat mutton rice noodles and whole mutton soup pot, which tasted good. "
guards Shimazi Gaoji mutton every day, Gao Guoxia and her mother have a sense of stability.
As for "Shimazi Gaoji mutton" that has been moved to No. 75 Shuncheng Street, it is the "now time" of Shimazi mutton.
Gao Jianxiang's family is Daxing, Xichang City In his early years, he and his wife made a living by selling beef in the Binhe Market. Due to his wife's health, since July 1996, he rented a street-facing store near Shengli Bridge and former Xichang Construction Second Company on Binhe Road and started a mutton business. When
was opened, Gao Jianxiang sold raw mutton while selling mutton noodles and bowls of mutton. "At that time, lambs were cheap, bowls of mutton were 5 yuan per bowl, small bowls of mutton noodles were 2.5 yuan per bowl, and large bowls of 3 yuan per bowl. "The youngest daughter Gao Guoxia was still studying at the time and would go to the store to help during holidays. I remember it very clearly. "The storefront is not big, and she can only set up 4 square tables. "
In order to make this bowl of mutton, Gao Jianxiang put in his efforts. "The first and most important thing is to choose the good sheep. There are many kinds of sheep, but the best quality is the sheep, so the ones I bought are all live sheep, which is real. After killing and slaughtering, putting cold water into the pot, and then removing the froth and blood, putting in secret spices and stewing it. "Gao Guoxia said, "The secret spice is a recipe that my father determined after learning from other places after repeated trials. "
A bowl of fresh and fragrant mutton.
Slowly, more and more people came to Shimazi to eat mutton. From selling one sheep on the earliest day to two or three a day, at the peak, at the winter solstice, more than 100 sheep were slaughtered in three days. The storefront has also expanded from one to three storefronts, and 4 square tables have increased to 9 square tables.
"Many people drove to Shimazi early in the morning to eat this bowl of 'Shimazi mutton'. "Gao Jianxiang's wife said. Zhang Si Ge, the old brother of Zhang who has worked and lived in North Street for 30 years, was a loyal fan of Shimazi mutton back then. "Eating mutton from Dong is the original flavor, and the 'Shimazi mutton' is blessed with the blessing of secret spices. That special taste will instantly form memories of the taste buds, which makes people unable to stop. "
In 2018, Chen Yun, who had studied and worked in Xichang for a while, returned to Xichang. A local friend asked him what he wanted to eat, and "Shimazi Lamb" blurted out.
The bowl of mutton placed in front of him was the fresh and fragrant taste refreshing with the misty heat. Pick up a piece of bone-containing mutton and dip it in a self-adjusted dip dish. It was this taste! After leaving Xichang for many years, this bowl of Shimazi Lamb may have the taste buds that wandered outside.
According to Gao Guoxia, although it has been 6 years since Shimazi Gaoji mutton moved to Shuncheng Street due to urban transformation, although the price of each bowl of mutton is no longer the same as before, and although it is impossible to sell raw and cooked meat like Shimazi, old diners like Chen Yun who come to Shuncheng Street to eat Shimazi mutton have never stopped after searching for memories.
