Why is Guijie called Guijie?
The name Guijie comes from the ancient food culture in China.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Guijie Street, especially in Wangfujing area of Beijing, was famous for selling all kinds of food and snacks. These foods and snacks are filled with reeds, so it is called Guijie Street. Reed is a bronze or ceramic container used to hold food in ancient times. In addition, the name of Guijie is also related to its profound historical and cultural heritage, which reflects the habit of people holding food in Guijie at that time. With the passage of time, Guijie Street has gradually developed into a famous dining street in Beijing, famous for its numerous night market stalls and restaurants. Since the reform and opening up, the catering in Ghost Street has become a household name in Beijing, and many people have also seen the huge business opportunities here. Even the local government actively supported it from the beginning, and the District Commercial Committee named it "Dongnei Catering Street".
