On the west side of the middle section of this street, the original building complex was the school auditorium. Imperial academy, formerly known as imperial academy, was called imperial academy, a qualified student (i.e. Jinshi) in each county in the Qing Dynasty. Those who want to study in imperial academy, the capital, must take the imperial examination. Imperial academy is the place where students take exams, and later it is commonly known as imperial academy. At the beginning, the test site was located on the east side of the northern section of Jingzhou Street (that is, the former military command, later changed to Jingnan Academy, Lumen Academy, and later changed to the relatives' hospital of the prefectural party committee). In the 60th year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (172 1), Taoist Zhao moved to this lane when he rebuilt the Scholar's Academy, and in the 20th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (18 15). In the fourth year of Daoguang reign (1835), Hu Jinchong, the grandson of Hu, and Zhao, the son of Zhao, rebuilt it. In the 18th year of Daoguang, Mr. Yang and Mr. Huang Zaifu donated money to expand these two houses, providing shelter for health workers. Later, Nanzhang squire Liu Tiancheng and others also donated 100 yuan for the annual renovation of the academic hall of the school. At that time, the principal museum covered an area of about 30,000 square meters, with Mihua Street in the west and Hongyuan Garden in the north. Very spacious, built several times, the house layout is very compact. In addition to the invigilator station, there are also roll-call examination rooms and candidates' examination rooms, which are important educational facilities in northwest Hubei. Every year, thousands of candidates from Hunan, jujube, Yi, Nan, Gu, Guang and six counties come here to take the exam. There are countless people accompanying and sending exams, and the venue is very lively inside and outside. For a long time, people called the middle section of this street School Street. During the examination period, in addition to the booming business of small restaurants and hotels, temporary sheds selling pens, ink, inkstones and daily necessities were set up on the street, and divination kiosks for drawing lots to measure characters abound. There are also people who sell test papers during the exam and bring good news to students. So this section is called Shechang Street. In the early days of South Street, there lived a family named Gong, commonly known as Gong Jiaxiang.
With the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911, the old education system was abolished, and examinations no longer existed. Around the May 4th Movement, the first dyeing and weaving school was established in the school library, with an internship factory attached, which was closed soon. In the 18th and 9th years of the Republic of China, it was transformed into the 12th provincial complete primary school. 1938 After the school moved to Yunxian County, it became the Xiangyang Commissioner's Office of the Kuomintang. In the early days of liberation, it was the seat of Xiangyang prefectural Committee, and later became the Party School of Xiangyang prefectural Committee. Some houses opposite the Party School were gradually requisitioned around 1968, and turned into Xiangyang Military Division Camp. On the west side of the southern end of Lane used to be Agricultural College of the Republic of China, and stopped around 1949, and 1962 became the campus of No.7 Middle School.
The old pavement of this street is paved with straight rows of green stones in the middle, pebbles on both sides of the stones, and steps with bluestone bases along the gates of residents' homes. The street bends slightly in the middle. 1968 changed to concrete pavement, and changed to asphalt pavement after 1980s. In the old society, most of the houses on this street were blue brick houses, and only a few people's inner yards were fake two-story wooden buildings. After liberation, it was gradually changed into a red tile house.
