Geographical environment of Tianjin ancient cultural street
Guwen Street is located outside the east gate of the northeast corner of Nankai District, on the west bank of Haihe River, starting from Laotieqiao Street (Gongbei Street) in the north and reaching Shui Ge Street (Gongnan Street) in the south. There is a memorial arch at the north and south street corners, which reads "Golden Gate Hometown" and "Gushang Art Garden". It is a commercial pedestrian street with a length of 687 meters and a width of 5 meters. Tianhou was called the escort goddess in ancient times. Legend has it that she is from Fujian, surnamed Lin, and often goes to sea to help the victims, so she is revered as a goddess by later generations. During the Yuan Dynasty, Beijing needed to transport a large amount of grain to the north every year, first by sea to Tianjin and then by water to Beijing. In order to pray for the safety of navigation, the Yuan government dedicated the escort goddess Tian Fei and built the Tianhou Palace in coastal towns. Tianjin Tianhou Palace was built in A.D. 1326. March 23rd of the lunar calendar is the birthday of the Queen. This paper introduces the historical changes of Tianjin and shows various folk customs. Huang Hui was named after Emperor Qianlong who visited this club when he went down to the south of the Yangtze River. Traditional performance venues are in the square in front of Tianhou Palace, as well as in Gongnan and Gongbei areas. After the completion of Guwen Street, a grand imperial party will be held here every year on March 23rd of the lunar calendar (the auspicious day of "Tianhou"' s birthday), performing dragon lantern dance, lion dance, Shaolin Club, stilts, drums, roller boating, yangko, martial arts, Beijing opera, pingju and bangzi.
