"Your question is really sharp, but I also asked it stupidly when I first came here, and I was laughed at by the old-timers here at that time. In fact, let me answer you like this, there is no such thing as truth or falsehood. There is only a question of the old and the new.

Of course, many people are not convinced when I say this, what is important in the antique shop is an eyesight, and if the eyesight is not good, don't blame others if you hit the eye. You see here, so prosperous, every year there are many people come here to Taobao, and there are many foreigners, those people pay more attention to the treasures left by our ancestors than we Chinese people, think about the national products that are auctioned abroad every year, some of them are lost in that gray era, and a large part of them are bought back by these foreigners. ”

Xu Yang said with a sigh, Xu Yang is a lot more mature now, the 20-year-old youth age is indeed matched with the 30-year-old calm, of course, this is only in front of outsiders, in front of the dormitory brothers, he is still the same year ago, he has time to buy some roadside snacks, drink beer, and brag and talk about women with his brothers in the dormitory shirtless, it is undeniable that he is young and golden, and he is suave, such a man is very lethal to women, at least Lin Xiaomo is tempted.

Lin Xiaomo is actually no different from that Yunzi in Xuyang University, both of them are scheming girls. Think about mixing into the host with her age and qualifications not long after graduation, if there is no scheming and no means, it is not easy to talk about.

"I didn't expect Xu Yang to be so worried about the country and the people!" Lin Xiaomo said jokingly!

"Hehe, don't bury me. Where am I worried about the country and the people, I just feel it, this is just the reason for loving a line in an industry, if you give me a village governance now, it is estimated that the people there will have food in a year, let's not talk about this, or continue to talk about Panjiayuan!"

Xu Yang said something bad, and Lin Xiaomo also took over and said sensibly: "Xu Yang, then you can tell us about the history and formation of Panjiayuan! Many people know about Panjiayuan, but I think most people don't know about these. ”

Actually, Pan Jiayuan has not been known to everyone for a long time, around 1992. More than ten years ago, Panjiayuan was a little-known place in Beijing, but in recent years, with the boom of the Panjiayuan thrift market, it has become a good place for collectors to "Taobao", and the name of "Panjiayuan" has become a household name.

In fact, the formation of Panjiayuan is very interesting, it was not called Panjiayuan before, it was called Panjiayao here. It was only later that the Pan homeland was changed. ”

Niu Dao was called a dark cool in his heart at this time, he didn't expect to meet Xu Yang here, in his impression, Xu Yang is definitely a master who is not easy to talk to. Today, after seeing Xu Yang, he wanted to set up a relationship, where did he think that Xu Yang Chengran agreed to make a cameo, what made him happiest was Xu Yang's knowledge. It seems that this ratings problem does not need to be considered. Give Lin Xiaomo a gesture and let him continue to lead Xu Yang to ask Xiayun.

Lin Xiaomo immediately understood after seeing the gesture of the cow guide, and she also wanted to hear it, so she asked: "Expert Xu Yang, I really didn't know that this place used to be called Panjiayao, so can you tell our collectors the reason for this, is there any allusion?"

Xu Yang smiled and said: "How can there be so many allusions, you don't need to call me Xu Yang expert, in fact, I am not an expert, I am still learning." Compared with the old-timers, they are the real experts in everyone's eyes, and I have a better memory, and there is no problem with rote memorization. As for why this place was changed to Panjiayuan, then I will talk about it.

In the early years, there were many brick kilns and tile yards on the east side of the moat, and Panjia kiln was one of them, because the kiln owner's surname was Pan, so the kiln was obtained by the surname of the kiln owner. It is rumored that the owner of this Pan kiln is a native of Jining, Shandong, who is over fifty years old and was originally born in burning glazed tiles. When he first came here, he wanted to open a kiln for firing glazed tiles, but after burning it a few times, he stopped burning it, because the soil here was loose and not suitable for firing glazed tiles, so he burned small square bricks instead. At that time, there were seven or eight brick kilns in this area, and the competition with each other was very fierce. But he didn't want to give up, because he saw that this place was close to the capital and the geographical location was good. So he went around the kilns in private for a few days, and when he came back, he had an idea, one was to improve the quality of the bricks, and the other was to work the operation.

First of all, he strictly controls the firing process of each brick and never cuts corners, so the fired bricks have good color, high finish, strong hardness, and are not easy to break. At the same time, in sales, he is also a step higher than others, at that time the sale of bricks was based on "Ding" as a unit, a "small Ding" brick is 200 pieces, a "big Ding" brick is 800 pieces, but when he is stacking bricks, a "small Ding" to yard 220 pieces, a "big Ding" to yard 850 pieces - the price is similar to other kilns, but the number is secretly more than others. At the same time, three horse-drawn carriages were hired, and all buyers within ten miles of the land were to deliver bricks to the door free of charge. Some buyers bought bricks from him a few times, they found that his bricks are not only of good quality, but also more than other kilns, and can also be delivered for free, so they often come to him to buy, less than a year of work, Panjia kiln is booming, and soon famous, even people from one or two hundred miles away also come to him to buy bricks. So this Panjia kiln is getting bigger and bigger, it is said that there are two or three hundred people working here at most, the cars are in and out, it is very lively, and several other kilns have been closed due to poor management. Later, a village was formed near the Panjia kiln, and the place name Panjia kiln was obtained according to the name of the kiln.

This is the origin of Panjiayao. As for changing to Pan Jiayuan, it's actually very simple. In the late Republic of China, the soil in this area was almost used, leaving only many large puddles and depressions, and it was very difficult to take soil to burn bricks, so Panjiayao was temporarily closed, and soon moved to the Fangshan area.

After the sixties of the century, the puddles and depressions here were gradually filled in, and the construction of residential areas began, and a large area of residential areas appeared in a few years, and it was called "Panjiayao". But not long after the call, people felt indecent, because the old Beijingers usually called the brothel "kiln", so it was changed to "Panjiayuan", the word "garden", which means "homeland", and called the newly built road nearby Panjiayuan Road. Later, when the Third Ring Road was built, an overpass was built on the east side of Panjiayuan, which was named "Panjiayuan Bridge".

After 1992, a thrift market was gradually formed here, and in just a few years, it developed into the largest antique thrift distribution center in the country, attracting a large number of treasure hunters and tourists. Today, "Panjiayuan" is not just the name of a street or a region, it has almost become synonymous with the antique market. ”

Xu Yang's explanation made everyone very satisfied, in fact, not many people here know these things. What Xu Yang said is reasonable, and these things are easy to verify. For a person in his 20s who has such knowledge, everyone still recognizes it!

"Well, we now understand why this place was renamed Panjiayuan, but how did this place form an antique market?" Lin Xiaomo asked again.

"About this, in fact, let's talk about the 'ghost market'!" Xu Yang said as he walked.

"Ghost market"? Could it be that there were ghosts here before?" Lin Xiaomo said with some fear, girls are very afraid of these things, and their timid appearance made Xu Yang laugh and said:

"Ghost market is actually the name of our insiders. It's not that there are ghosts, the formation of this ghost market is not a secret, the people here know it out of ten, and those who have played antiques for a few days also know some. But since I asked, I'll talk about it!

To explain the origin of the "ghost market", it is necessary to clarify a concept - the opening time of the market. In the past, the ghost market in the capital was also called the night market, also known as the Xiao market. This night market is not the other night market. The current night market begins around dusk and continues until the first half of the night, and there are also all-night markets, which are called "nightlife" in a fashionable phrase.

In the past, the night market refers to the beginning of the second half of the night, limited to the dawn, the stall will be closed at dawn, and the people vividly call it "the sale of the stall in the middle of the night". It is said that from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, it is very famous in Beijing, such as the "Dongxiao City" outside the Chongwen Gate, the "Night Market" outside the Xuanwu Gate and the "Xiao Market" outside the Desheng Gate.

The ghost market in Panjiayuan belongs to the ghost market in the old capital, and someone enters the market at 4 o'clock in the morning. Let's talk about why it's called a "ghost market". In the late Qing Dynasty, the situation was turbulent, the country was dying, and the emperor couldn't keep it, let alone the courtiers. Many Qing court legacies, ruined and wealthy, and their families could not make ends meet after their families were ruined, so they could only survive by selling the little family property left by their ancestors. So he took advantage of the half-bright and half-dark light before dawn to secretly set up a stall on the street to sell antiques, avoiding acquaintances and making a sale. The capital is an imperial city, it was the concentration of bureaucratic families in those years, and there were many dilapidated dignitaries at this time.

Another theory is that the ghost market opens early, the sky is not yet bright, and there is no electric light, the black paint is black, the poor light the flint, the rich carry the lantern, and the faint and shabby like the ghost fire under the simple lighting equipment, the figure shuttles and stops, erratic. There are not half ghosts, and the ghosts are there first. In addition, many gentlemen on the beam also came here to get rid of some shady things, and there were even counterfeiters who took advantage of the chaos to peddle some fakes, both of which were sneaky. In short, it is inseparable from the word "ghost", and the ghost market gets its name from this.

No matter what kind of origin the ghost market of Panjiayuan is, no matter how credible it is, all kinds of legends add a sense of mystery to Panjiayuan, merchants are willing to pass it on, tourists are also willing to listen, and both parties are happy anyway. The ghost market of Panjiayuan has become a scene in the capital, maintaining the ancient taste in the modern city, which is also the unique charm of Panjiayuan as a "cultural market". ”
