I was born in Miyun,I lived in Chengguan Town, Miyun County (now Miyun Town, Miyun District) until I was 15 years old. After studying and working, I returned to Miyun every year and witnessed the development and changes of Miyun w88 online sports betting. As a native of Miyun, I have vivid memories of Miyun w88 online sports betting, and I wrote words and sketches 15 years ago. I circulated them among relatives and friends, and received a lot of encouragement. I have visited some county towns and learned more about them through various media channels. I consider Miyun w88 online sports betting to be a very unique w88 online sports betting among many w88 online sports betting walls, and I feel the need to let more people know what it looked like back then.
Unique"The twins lie down with their eyes shaped like boats"
The Miyun w88 online sports betting Wall I recall was built in the Ming Dynasty.In 1378, what was later called the Old w88 online sports betting was built first, and in 1576, the New w88 online sports betting was built to the east of the Old w88 online sports betting. The two cities are connected horizontally to form twin cities, roughly in the shape of a lying "mu" character. This "twin sleeping eyes" layout is rare among the w88 online sports betting walls of prefectures, prefectures, counties and towns across the country. It may be called a strange flower in the garden of w88 online sports betting architecture in my country.
Miyun built a new w88 online sports betting to the east of the old w88 online sports betting, which is related to a myth and legend. In ancient times, Miyun w88 online sports betting was repeatedly damaged by floods from the Baihe River and Chaohe River. According to legend, a traveling Taoist priest suggested that transforming the county seat into a boat shape would protect the w88 online sports betting from danger. So the county magistrate asked Shangfeng to approve the expansion of the w88 online sports betting. The twin cities are completed, like a large ship with its bow facing east, moving forward steadily。
Looking from the old map, Miyun Old w88 online sports betting is a rectangle with a missing corner in the northwest, about one and a half miles long from north to south, and slightly shorter from east to west. There are w88 online sports betting gates on the east, south and west sides. The northern w88 online sports betting was built along a steep ridge without a gate.
The new w88 online sports betting is a right-angled trapezoid. The east and west walls have trapezoid upper and lower bases respectively. The north wall has a straight side and the south wall has a hypotenuse. The west and north walls are more than a mile long. After the new w88 online sports betting was built, the overall center of gravity of the w88 online sports betting moved northward: the western starting point of the new w88 online sports betting's south wall was set back about half a mile to the north from the old w88 online sports betting's south wall, while the north wall was pushed several feet north. The new w88 online sports betting also has w88 online sports betting gates on the east, south and west sides.
When I was very young, looking at the high w88 online sports betting walls and the dark doorways, I felt a little mysterious. The village committee issued a temporary notice and did not have time to hold a general meeting, so people went to the east gate w88 online sports betting wall, took a tin rolled speaker as a loudspeaker, walked along the w88 online sports betting wall, and shouted to the people below the w88 online sports betting wall, like this"Tu Broadcasting" can cover the entire new w88 online sports betting.The "front door" connects two cities and opens a gap to become the north gate
It is worth mentioning that the east extension of the old w88 online sports betting's north wall is vertically connected to the new w88 online sports betting's west wall, and the west extension of the new w88 online sports betting's south wall is vertically connected to the old w88 online sports betting's east wall, thus connecting the two cities into one, forming a narrow north-south wall between the two cities. The west gate of the new w88 online sports betting and the east gate of the old w88 online sports betting are both enclosed within the w88 online sports betting. The former is called"The first door and face", the latter is called "the second door and face". They are called "men faces" because they have only one doorway and no urn. The street between the "first gate" and the "second gate" is called Jiadao Street. The total length of the thoroughfare is three miles from Xincheng Dongmen Street through Ding Street, Jiadao Street, and Gulou East and West Street。
There is a road to the north of Jiadao Street that leads directly to the North w88 online sports betting Wall and a w88 online sports betting gate, which is the north gate of the twin cities. This section of the road is called North Horse Road. To the south of Jiadao Street, there is Nanjiadao Hutong, which reaches directly to the south w88 online sports betting wall. At the end, there is a very small w88 online sports betting gate, which may be as big as the courtyard gate of a wealthy mansion, with an invincible tower above it.
There are three w88 online sports betting gates in the south of the twin cities. The south gate of the old w88 online sports betting is called the big south gate, the south gate of the new w88 online sports betting is called the small south gate, and the south gate of the double road is called the small south gate. The west gate refers to the west gate of the old w88 online sports betting, and the east gate refers to the east gate of the new w88 online sports betting. The east gate, west gate, north gate, and large and small south gates all have urn cities for defensive operations. The structure of the west gate, north gate, large and small south gate urns are the same, and the orientation of the outer gate is all left-handed along the direction of the main gate90 degrees, that is, doors facing south, west, and east respectively。
In 1939, a major flood occurred in the Chaobai River, causing damage to Miyun and dozens of counties in the basin. The Baihe River broke through the left bank embankment at the root of today's Heiba River and destroyed the north gate of Miyun. Fortunately, there was a deep trough from the north gate to Jiadao Street with no residents, so it did not suffer greater losses. In the 1950s, the stone strips embedded in the upper edge of the arch of the original north gate w88 online sports betting gate were clearly visible, and there were piles of w88 online sports betting soil and rubble underneath. To facilitate travel, a gap was opened at the westernmost end of the north wall of the new w88 online sports betting, which later became the north gate。
I remember that when I was in the second or third grade of elementary w88 casino, my classmates and I climbed up the city wall to play. First, we climbed the city wall from the inclined horse path on the south side of the east gate and looked out into the distance outside the city. Then walk along the city wall to both sides, turn south through the southeast corner, as far as the south corridor; turn north as far as the northeast corner, as far as the north gate gap. At that time, the basic outline of the city wall was still there, and the huge stones at the foot of each tower were still there. You can imagine how majestic the towers were in the past. There are longitudinal trenches dug at the top of the city, and there is a large bunker in the northeast corner. Miyun City Wall is based on large stone strips. The main body is made of rammed earth. The outside is covered with blue bricks. On the inside, a ladder belt about half a meter wide is built with bricks every tens of meters, extending from the ground to the top of the city to reinforce the city body. We saw some older children climbing up the city along such a ladder, so we followed suit. thisThe "brick ladder" is very steep, about 70°. We climbed carefully with our hands and feet on it and didn't dare to look down. When I was a child, I would never tell my parents about this kind of thing.
SinceThe first gate was demolished in 1956, and all the w88 online sports betting gates and walls were successively demolished over the next 30 years. Now only a small section of the East Gate w88 online sports betting wall remains, which is the mound at the intersection of Xindong Road and Dongmen Street today. In order to prevent it from further collapse, w88 online sports betting bricks dismantled from other places were used to repair the siege. This became the only relic of the huge Miyun w88 online sports betting Wall.

Shopping street market fireworks Strong folk culture atmosphere
The main road of the old w88 online sports betting is Cross Street, the North-South Street is the central axis, and the East-West Street is to the north. There is a drum tower built on the north side of the intersection of the two streets, and there are bronze bells and drums on the brick and wood structure tower. Taking the Drum Tower as the starting point, it goes south to Gulou South Street, to the east is Drum Tower East Street, to the west is Drum Tower West Street, and through the Drum Tower Gate to the north is Drum Tower Back Street.
There are two larger alleys and Gulou South Street—The back streets of Drum Tower run parallel to each other, with Tongcheng Hutong-Siyanjing Hutong on the east side and Nangengdao Hutong-Zhuanta Hutong on the west side. There are also two larger alleys parallel to Gulou East Street and West Street. On the south side are the East and West Yushikou alleys. On the north side, I can’t remember their names. In addition, there are many small alleys, all running due south and north or due east and west. Gulou South Street is the most important commercial street in the w88 online sports betting. There are rows of shops on both sides, including several famous stores.
Because the southern wall of the w88 online sports betting wall is tilted in the new w88 online sports betting, it is difficult to straighten its streets. Centered in a north-south direction, the northern section is called Shangying Hutong and the southern section is called Xiaonanmen Street. Dongmen Street starts from Dongmen in the east and intersects at right angles with the south entrance of Shangying Hutong in the west. The street that starts from Toudaomen faces north and intersects diagonally with the north entrance of Xiaonanmen Street. The section connecting these two intersections is collectively called a T-shaped street. In addition, in addition to the east gate on the north side7 parallel alleys, other alleys such as Yuhuangmiao Hutong and Pant Hutong are mostly ramps。
Businessmen in Miyun w88 online sports betting are located on Dongmen Street—Ting Street—Gulou East Street turns to Gulou South Street. This three and a half mile long street sells daily groceries, fabrics, fresh meat, snacks and other goods, as well as various service industry shops such as traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, small hotels and large car shops. The old w88 online sports betting and the new w88 online sports betting each have a market square, which is mainly for grain trading and agricultural and sideline products trading. It is bustling with traffic. Fresh vegetables are carried on carts by vegetable farmers and vendors from vegetable gardens outside the w88 online sports betting into the w88 online sports betting, and are sold along the streets, which is very lively.
I have a deep impression of the Chinese New Year. At that time, on the eve of the Lunar New Year, every household would clean the house, prepare New Year's meals, post couplets, and hang lanterns. On New Year's Eve, people worship ancestors, have dinner together and watch the New Year's Eve. In the first month, people wear new clothes and relatives, friends and neighbors wish each other the New Year. Firecrackers were blasting, drums and music were noisy, Huahui (social fire) stirred up the streets and alleys, and good shows were staged. It goes without saying that the professional actors performed their best, but the amateur actors also acted seriously and lifelikely. In addition to talents and beauties, images such as Xiao Erhei and Liu Qiaoer appeared for the first time on the stage. In addition to traditional things such as walking on stilts and playing steel forks, the social fire queue also included waist drum troupes and yangko troupes for the first time. Men, women and children were in high spirits. The whole town was immersed in the rich folk culture of Jingdong。

The remains of ancient buildings show what they looked like back then
In the past, most of the temples in Miyun w88 online sports betting were located in the northwest of the old w88 online sports betting, the north of the new w88 online sports betting, and the north of Jiadao.
Preferred ancient buildings"Two yamen and two temples", that is, the county government and the Confucian Temple (Confucius Temple) in the old w88 online sports betting, and the Wuyamen and Guandi Temple (Laoye Temple) in the new w88 online sports betting. The county government office is located on the north side of Gulou West Street. The government office, lobby, back hall, and east and west side rooms are all in good condition. It is the office of the county government. The Confucian Temple is located on the north side of Gulou East Street. It was once converted into a shoe factory and is now the district cultural center. The Confucian Temple covers an area of more than 4,000 square meters. It has archway-style gates, Lingxing Gate, two side-by-side single-hole small stone bridges, Xiangxian Temple, Jimen, Dacheng Hall, Minglun Hall, Zunjing Pavilion, Academy, Chongsheng Temple, Qisheng Temple and other buildings. Dacheng Hall is 10 meters high and has a total area of 181.48 square meters. It is the only remaining Confucian temple building.
Wu Yamen is a garrison office located on the north side of Dongmen Street. last centuryIn the early 1950s, the main hall no longer existed, and the two wings were inhabited by civilians. The gate and archway were completely damaged. The stone piers are still there, and the condition at that time can be vaguely recognized.
In addition, Guandi Temple is adjacent to the military training ground in front of Wu Yamen. The gatehouse, main hall, east and west side halls, and stone lions in front of the temple are all intact. At that time, it was converted into Miyun Chengguan Primary w88 casino (referred to as Chengguan Primary w88 casino) 's w88 casino building. At the end of the back street of Drum Tower is the Zhenwu Temple, which was converted into a normal w88 casino . Later, the road was expanded, leaving only an ancient tree standing in the middle of the road。
There is Tianqi Temple on the north side outside the east gate. From the remaining stone bridges and stone tablets, you can imagine its old scale. There are ruins of Yaowang Temple on the west side outside Xiaonanmen. There is also a mosque in the town built during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty.
Other old places include the Chamber of Commerce and Theater Building, which was built during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. It is located on the east side of Nanjie Road and is a two-story building system with a brick and wood structure. Inside is a four-sided building with a stage on the west and cloisters on the north, south and east sides. There are private seats on the second floor of the cloister. The original site of Miyun Middle w88 casino was the Ningjia Garden of a wealthy businessman, and the primary w88 casino affiliated with the Normal w88 casino was formerly known as Baitan Academy.In the first half of the 1950s, the overall layout of Miyun Town remained the same. After Miyun entered a new era, people left the w88 online sports betting early and entered the w88 online sports betting late. They worked hard on the land and enjoyed their work, and the streets and markets showed a prosperous scene.
