Before Shanghai opened as a port, Fuzhou Road was originally one of the four dirt roads leading to the Huangpu River. In the early 1850s, the section from the Bund to Jie Road (today's Henan Middle Road) was built with a gravel road. It was called Robert Sanwoke Road in the early days. Because there was a missionary institution of the London Christian Church nearby, it was called Bud Road, also known as the Church. road. In the sixth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1856), it extended westward to the second racecourse (today's Hubei Road). In the third year of Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty (1864), the entire route was completed to Nichengbang (today's Tibet Middle Road). In December of the following year, it was named Fuzhou Road after the city in Fujian Province, commonly known as Sima Road. It starts from Zhongshan East 1st Road in the east, passes through Sichuan Middle Road, Jiangxi Middle Road, Henan Middle Road, Shandong Middle Road, Shannan South Road, Fujian Middle Road, Hubei Road, Zhejiang Middle Road, Wangping Street, Guangxi North Road, Yunnan Middle Road, and ends at Tibet Middle Road in the west, where it meets Renmin Avenue Connected to each other, with a total length of 1,453 meters, is an asphalt concrete road. There are bus lines 17, 49, 123, 503, 584, 801, 864, Tunnel Line 3, Shangchuan Line, Tunnel Night Supper Line and other bus lines passing by in the west direction. It is bounded by Guangdong Road and Shantou Road on the south side, and Hankou Road on the north side.
Since the 1840s, imperialist powers such as Britain, the United States, and Japan began to forcibly open concessions in Shanghai. Foreign businessmen have built houses and foreign businesses in the eastern section of Fuzhou Road. In the third year of Xianfeng's reign, Xiao Dao Hui revolted, and a large number of Chinese flocked to the concession. The wealthy merchants who were originally in the county moved north one after another. In the areas of Fuzhou Road, Guangdong Road, and Henan Road Qipan Street, newspapers, periodicals, bookstores, pen and ink paper fans, and instrument and stationery industries were established one after another. Theaters and teahouses competed with each other, and Chinese and Western restaurants and service industries also emerged. By the end of the 19th century, newspapers, bookstores, and pen and ink stationery stores were concentrated on Fuzhou Road and its vicinity; theaters, movies, tea gardens, bookstores, amusement parks, dance halls and other cultural and entertainment venues were densely populated. Professional theater troupes performed frequently, and cultural streets had begun to take shape; wine shops Service industries such as hotels and hotels are gathered; foreign stores, drug stores, department stores, photography, watch shops, auction houses, cigarette shops, tea and food shops and other businesses are large-scale, and the commercial market is prosperous, forming one of the earliest modern bustling streets in Shanghai. At the beginning of the 20th century, due to the prosperity of Nanjing Road, Fuzhou Road fell behind. Near Wangping Street (today's Shandong Middle Road and the north side of Fuzhou Road), there are more than 20 newspaper offices. "Shanghai Yangchang Zhuzhi Ci" states that "the news is concentrated on Wangping Street, and the newspaper offices are lined up on the east and west side. Several businesses have recently moved there. There is a separate sign at the place." It has become the press release center of Shanghai and is known as "Newspaper Street". The three major newspapers, "Shenbao", "News" and "Times", formed a tripartite force in Shanghai, vying for the leadership of the Shanghai newspaper industry. Large bookstores (stores) such as Zhonghua, Dadong, World, Chuanxin, and Kaiming were opened successively; the publishing house of the largest commercial press in the country moved to the intersection of Fuzhou Road and Henan Road, and a new building was built in 1912. It is famous in the city for publishing textbooks. China's first and only scientific instrument museum opened. The traditional Four Treasures of the Study industry such as Zhou Huchen, Zhou Zhaochang, Cao Sugong, Hu Kaiwen and other pen and ink shops moved to nearby Fuzhou Road for business. There are many large and small antique bookstores, and the stationery and supplies businesses are adjacent and prosperous day by day. Dangui Theater No. 1 is one of the four major theaters in Shanghai and is quite famous. Zhou Xinfang, Mei Lanfang and other famous Beijing opera actors have appeared on the stage here.
In 1912, newspapers were founded in large numbers. In 1916, there were 51 large newspaper publishers on Wangping Street. Before and after the Revolution of 1911, a group of democratic revolutionaries such as Yu Youren, Song Jiaoren, Cai Yuanpei, Zhang Binglin (Taiyan), Liang Qichao, and Shao Lizi founded progressive newspapers or served as chief editors, vigorously criticizing and exposing feudal autocratic rule, and arousing people's sympathy for the revolution. , advocated reform and opposed reformism tit for tat, and newspapers became a position to promote democratic revolution. In the 1920s and 1930s, influenced by the new culture of the May 4th Movement, newspapers became the vanguard of supporting the patriotic movement, advocating the new culture, publicizing the October Revolution, spreading Marxist-Leninist knowledge and the anti-Japanese and national salvation movement. The Wangping newspaper industry was bustling with activity. The publishing industry is booming. A number of left-wing writers such as Mao Dun, Hu Yuzhi, Shen Yanbing, Tian Han, Jin Zhonghua, etc. have entered major bookstores as editors or leaders. Zou Taofen founded the Life Bookstore on Fuzhou Road in 1932 and published progressive publications. Sha Qianli served as Chief editor, using book editors to participate in the anti-imperialist, patriotic, anti-Japanese and national salvation movement.
After the 1920s, high-rise buildings rose from the east section of Fuzhou Road, where administrative agencies of the concession, patrol houses, foreign companies, banks, large hotels, and large pharmacies were concentrated. At both ends, there are a number of Chinese and Western restaurants such as Dahongyun, Atlantic, Laojuxing, Laozhengxing, Huibinlou, and Wangbaohe, which are famous in the city. A number of old theaters were demolished one after another, and new theaters and stages were built one after another. In February 1926, Tianchan Stage (originally named Daxin Stage) was completed and opened at No. 701 Fuzhou Road. Its scale is the largest of the four major Peking Opera stages in Shanghai.
At the same time, brothels were banned in the concession in 1925, and brothels gathered in the western section of Fuzhou Road, becoming a place for filth and evil.
Fuzhou Road, from the opening of the port to the liberation, has experienced more than a hundred years of vicissitudes and development. It integrates administrative agencies, newspapers and bookstores, stationery equipment, teahouses, theaters, Chinese and Western restaurants, hotels and department stores, and brothels and opium dens. , also known as "Pharmacy Street". There are also specialty markets for antiques, chemical paints, clothing stores, and embroidered shoes on both sides. It is a unique street that is different from other commercial streets. The intertwining of civilization and barbarism, the coexistence of progress and degeneration, the struggle between old and new ideas, the choice between light and darkness, and the light of culture contained and radiated attracted countless literati to overthrow the feudal dynasty, fight against foreign aggression, and spread progressive ideas and revolutionary culture. With unforgettable splendor.
After the liberation of Shanghai on May 27, 1949, the newspaper office on Shandong Middle Road was first taken over by the Liberation Daily and ceased publication. Fuzhou Road was reorganized and renovated, and brothels and opium dens were banned, cleaning up the sludge of the old society. . To the east of Henan Middle Road is the location of administrative agencies, professional bureaus, corporate companies and other offices. From Henan Middle Road to Fujian Middle Road, the book, instrument and stationery industries have been withdrawn, merged, relocated, and reorganized, and a number of professional bookstores and cultural supplies stores have been built, still showing the color of a cultural street. From Fujian Middle Road to Tibet Middle Road, it still maintains its original characteristics. There are restaurants, restaurants, markets, theaters, travel agencies, clothing, miscellaneous and other shops. In the socialist revolution and construction, it plays the role of intellectual pillar of spiritual civilization and material civilization. . From 1959 to 1961, the country was experiencing economic difficulties, with shortages of raw materials and tight supplies of cultural supplies, books, etc., which were seriously affected. In the ten years of the "Cultural Revolution", which swept away the "four olds" and criticized "feudalism, capital and repair", Cultural Street suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy losses. However, the demand for certain commodities such as pen and ink, paper, paste, etc. increased sharply and the supply exceeded the demand.
After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, with the reform and opening up, the cultural street has turned around again. It is urgent to change the lagging situation and develop Fuzhou Road. In the 1990s, with the deepening of reform, the renovation of Fuzhou Road was included in the Huangpu District Government's key construction projects. By excavating the historical heritage, combining the characteristics of modern new cities, and focusing on the category of "big culture", we built a Shanghai-style cultural street with the unique personality of Shanghai culture and art, which was officially launched in February 1994. Faced with 124 commercial outlets in 15 plots of land, a comprehensive planning and renovation plan was made to retain the original famous stores, explore new features of the old stores, combine neighborhood renovations, fill in the gaps, and add outlets.
