The north factory was located on the east bank of the South Canal of Dezhou, and the Jin Tianhui set up a mausoleum here in the seventh year (1129), and by the third year of the Yuan Dynasty (1266), the mausoleum was changed to Lingzhou warehouse. In the thirteenth year of Ming Yongle (1415), he built a Guangji warehouse, set up a part of the sicang, and used the canal grain ship to transport it to Kyoto, which was named North Factory. At the beginning of the Republic of China, it was the tenth town of dexian district, and after the liberation of Dezhou in 1946, it was North Factory Street in Qiaokou District. In 1961, it was placed on the northeast street of the North Factory and the southwest street of the North Factory. North Factory Street was historically home to the Royal Granary, with a wharf for the Royal Wharf in Texas City. But here is called the North Factory is also called Tiger Warehouse, why is this?
The origin of tiger barns
The royal granary of the North Factory can be traced back to the seventh year of the Jin Dynasty (1129), at first, because the North Factory belonged to the jurisdiction of Jiangling County, the name of the granary was called "Jiangling Warehouse". Since then, the area has become the seat of the royal docks and royal granaries.
After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, in order to maintain their rule, all the canals were opened to make the water transport more prosperous. The storage scale of the North Factory has also increased, and its status and role have become more prominent, so the Yuan Dynasty changed the Lingcang to the Lingzhou Warehouse. At the same time, the imperial court also set up a "thief hunting department", "Daru Huachi", "supervision and branch ambassador", etc., responsible for the safety of transportation and warehousing.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, although the capital nanjing was built, the granary was still used to prepare for the war on the northern frontier. In the ninth year of Ming Yongle (1411), they renamed Lingzhou Cang as "Guangji Cang", also known as Dezhou Shui sub-warehouse, and later changed to Changfeng Cang. In the thirteenth year of Ming Yongle (1415), the imperial court also set up a "Household Supervision Branch" in the city of Dezhou, and the main officials of the branch were called "Grain Storage Daoist (Tai)", zhengsipin. The Household Supervision Branch was a financial institution directly stationed by the imperial court, and it was the highest-ranking and powerful Daotai Yamen in Texas. The yamen was stationed in the south gate of the city, and an office was set up in the north factory. During the ming and chenghua years, the yamen successively built three gardens in the north factory, including Hun Qingxuan, Sanyou Pavilion, and Mao Miao. During the Zhengde years, two arches of "public honesty" and "loyalty and love" were built.
After Ming Yongle moved the capital to Beijing in the eighteenth year, about four million stones of imperial grain were transported to Beijing through the South Canal every year, of which one-fifth of the imperial grain was stored in Changfeng Warehouse in Texas.
However, the place names in this area have always been called according to the names of the imperial court, such as: the Yuan Dynasty was called Lingzhou Cang, the Ming Dynasty was called Changfeng Cang, and so on. Why call this place tiger barn?
Folk accounts vary, mostly: 1. Because the Yamen that manages the royal granary is a direct stationed institution of the imperial court, it is the highest-ranking and most powerful Daotai Yamen in Dezhou City. Its officials' waist plates and road opening signs are tiger heads, so the people call it "Tiger Barn". 2. Near the Imperial Granary, there is the graveyard of Wang Hu, the commander of the Texas Wei, and there are stone tigers in his cemetery. In the twenty-first year of the Qianlong Dynasty (1756), his descendants still existed, and his inscriptions were indecipherable. Legend has it that Tiger Warehouse is named after the tomb of Wang Feng. 3, there is another folk legend, after the stone tiger in the Li family cemetery became a jing, he came to this river to drink water at night, and after being seen by passers-by one day, he stayed by the river and could not move, and this place was named "Tiger Barn" and so on.
In fact, outside the east gate of the Ming Dynasty Tuweizi in the North Factory, there is indeed an anonymous stone tiger, because it is close to the east gate of the granary, so the people habitually call it "Tiger Warehouse".
The origin of the name North Factory
From Jin, Yuan to Ming and Qing, the North Factory has always been the royal granary, according to the "Caoyun Tongzhi" record: by the middle of the Ming Dynasty, dezhou Shuizicang had 29 East Cangxiao, 263 rooms; West Cangxiao 12, 117. In the ninth year of Qing Yongzheng (1731), the imperial court built 120 new warehouses. It can be seen how large the granary was at that time. Therefore, people called him "money and grain capital" and "granary of the world". The city of Dezhou was also greatly famous because of it, so from the central to the local, all the institutions related to it at all levels came here to set up yamen, repair mansions, build warehouses, and send officials to get involved in the storage and transportation of imperial grain.
For example, after the imperial grain transported by Cao Bing is escorted to the Tiger Cang Wharf, the local officials should organize the loading, unloading, transportation, warehousing and other related matters. However, for the sake of economic interests, the Texas Guard garrison often quarreled with the local government over this matter, and even because of the struggle between the two sides, there was a major delay in transportation. In order to coordinate the relationship between the military and the localities, the Household Department also set up a "Household Department Supervision and Exchange Branch Division" in tiger warehouses. At one time, in Texas City, there was a strange phenomenon of "Household Supervision Branch Division" and "Household Supervision and Exchange Division" of the same level. Another example: At that time, the four prefectures and twenty-six counties in Jinan Province all had to pay the imperial grain directly to the Dezhou warehouse. Therefore, Jinan Fuya set up the "Jinan Fu Grain Exchange Mansion" here, and built two arches in front of the mansion, "Mintian Gong Dui" and "Fujun Yumin". To this end, the thirty prefectures and counties under Jinan Province have built mansions and granaries in Texas.
There was also the Pan Grain Hall where the imperial court was stationed in Linqing to collect money and grain from the river, and the Pan Grain Hall Yamen was also built here. Therefore, the area around the North Factory in Texas has become a place of worldwide attention, and various shops, hotels, and car shops have stood one after another, and it has also become the most prosperous commercial area in Texas.
But what is the origin of the name "North Factory"? There are many accounts of this question, and it has always puzzled Texans: One is that some people think that the original name of this place is "North Warehouse". People interpret the word "warehouse" into the word "factory", and get the name of "North Factory".
Second: Some people believe that the Beichang Village was called "North Factory" because the Dezhou Carrying Factory (Delivery Office) placed by Ming Yongle in the fifth year (1407) was in the west of the village of the present-day North Factory West Street, in order to distinguish it from the later Carrying Factory outside the Great West Gate;
Third: The two guards in Texas are responsible for water transport, Texas Wei first built a shipyard in the north factory, and after building a left guard, he built a shipyard in the south of the north factory, in order to distinguish the two shipyards, and got the name North Factory. There are no less than ten kinds of statements, and some of them are strange and unreliable. But what is the origin of the name "North Factory"?
It should be known that our ancestors were very particular about the use of words and words, where should the word "factory" be said? Looking at many dictionaries, the conclusion is: factory (chǎng): 1. Refers to the factory that uses machinery to manufacture production data or living data. 2. A place where there is an available place to stock or process: a coal plant. 3. Shed, "Citrus grass ~ common mulberry." "4. The secret service apparatus established by the Ming Dynasty of China to strengthen authoritarian rule. Also: Factory (ān) is the same as "庵", mostly used for personal names. Factory (hàn) mountain side rocky protruding cover, a place where people can live. Therefore, it can be concluded that the "North Factory" is the factory site where grain is stored in the north of Texas. In fact, the North Factory is a place name officially named by the ancients, only because we misunderstood the use of "factory" and "field", so there were many misunderstandings above.
However, the so-called "North Factory" mostly refers to the area where the residents live in the street, and the Tiger Warehouse refers to the granary and the Royal Wharf as the warehouse.
Bustling North Factory Street
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, at the south end of Beichang Street, that is, at the entrance, a high pavilion that resembled a city gate stood in the middle of the road. Passing through the gates of His Excellency Gao are two arches that cross the street. Twelve temples, such as Taishan Grandma Temple, Guandi Temple, Guanyin Temple, Mazu Temple, River Temple, Dawang Temple, etc., are distributed on both sides of the street. In front of the mountain gate of the Guandi Temple, two flagpoles more than 20 meters high tower, declaring the momentum and grandeur of the important town of Caoyun.
All kinds of yamen and institutions are stationed in simple and elegant high-gate mansions, some of which sit on both sides of the yamen with mighty huge stone lions, and some of which are majestic and splendid archways outside the yamen, as well as flagpoles, horse stones, and horse stakes.
At that time, the North Factory: In the river channel, there were ships laden with imperial grain, merchant ships coming from south to north, official ships with ship windows and tails, and the shipwright's trumpets rose and fell from time to time; on the docks, the porters loading and unloading imperial grain were sweating, sonorous and powerful, and working hard;
On the streets: theater buildings, archways, flagpoles abound and continue one after another; restaurants, teahouses, liquor stores, and inns can be seen everywhere and lined up one after another; peasant households who deliver grain, porters who load and unload, palanquins of officials, vehicles of rich jia, soldiers on errands, small traders and peddlers, and other personnel rub shoulders, flow endlessly, and work hard.
North Factory was once a place of worship in the minds of Texans, and people must have cared a lot about the place names here. It is also normal to lead to many ambiguous interpretations. And because Beichang Street is a bustling residential area, Tiger Warehouse is a storage place and a royal dock, so it is artificially divided into two place names, namely North Factory Street and Tiger Warehouse. With the decline of the Royal Granary, the name of Tiger Warehouse was gradually forgotten, and the location of its North Factory evolved into a residential area, and formed two street names: North Factory Northeast Street and North Factory Southwest Street.
In fact, the tiger warehouse is the north factory, and the north factory is the tiger warehouse. North Factory Northeast Street and North Factory Southwest Street are collectively known as "North Factory Street", which is the official name of the government for the area, which is the true origin of North Factory Street.
