The name of Huilongguan really comes from the historical fact that the emperor returned from the Ming Tombs and rested here, but it really has nothing to do with any temple or temple. Maybe there are some temples or Taoist temples nearby, but it really has nothing to do with Huilongguan.
Huilongguan, these three words have not changed, but everyone has seen them clearly. View is the first sound, that is, look out. The emperor came back from the Ming Tombs and stopped here to overlook the capital, so he named it "Back (on the way back) Dragon (Emperor) View (View)". Some time ago, it was said that when the locals said these three words, they were all pronounced with the first sound, which is why.
When studying the origin of Huilongguan's name, we can't ignore the names of nearby villages. I wonder if you have ever thought about the origin of "two dials", "three dials", "four dials" or even "six dials"? The emperor is going to take a sedan chair. From the Ming Tombs to Deshengmen, arrogant people were divided into six groups. Change your name every time you go to a place, and you will come naturally.
I don't know the exact origin of "Huo Ying", but when the locals say the word "fire", they also use a sound. I suspect it is the word "fire", or the abbreviation of "lighter camp", or the abbreviation of "Cook camp" in those days. You can't talk nonsense if you haven't learned it.
Talking about the past and the present Huilongguan
As we all know, Huilongguan Community has gradually become the largest economically applicable residential community in Beijing and even the whole country, but you can know the past of this land.
Huilongguan originated from a local village-Huilongguan Village. The name can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, and it originated from the Ming Emperor Ming Tombs. According to legend, there is an ancient Taoist temple called Fu Xuan Temple, where the emperor rested on his way back to Beijing after visiting the mausoleum. Over time, this view is called Huilongguan, and now the Taoist temple site is nowhere to be found. Now people often mistakenly think that the former site of a temple in the south of Huilongguan Village is the former site of Huilongguan, but it is not. There is also an ancient temple site of the same size in the north of the village. These two temples are just ancient temples in Huilongguan Village, commonly known as Nanmiao and Hebei Temple. This has nothing to do with Fu Xuan's concept. There used to be temples in nearby villages, mostly divided into north and south parts. Now, there is a protected old pagoda tree on the north side of the East Railway of Huilongguan Station, which is the relic of the South Temple of the original village Beidian Village here. At that time, there was an iron clock of Qing Dynasty hanging on the tree. There are north stores and south stores. The original site of Nandian is now "Guangzhai". The north-south shop is also called loess shop, so the land is rich in loess. In the Ming Dynasty, the emperors used this place to collect more loess from the loess mat of Qingshui Watering Street in Fuling. Now two villages have disappeared and moved to Nortel Jiayuan, Longxiang Community and Nandian New Village.
But before the construction of Huilongguan community, the core area of this area was not the present Huilongguan village. Now it is the seat of the farm organ in the northern suburbs. It's the clearing in the north of Huilongguan Hotel. That is the original site of the northern suburb farm office (now Longguan Building). The original three-story office building has been demolished and a commercial residential building is going to be built here. The farm in the northern suburbs was originally called Sino-Vietnamese Friendship People's Commune, but it was renamed Sino-Japanese Friendship People's Commune after Sino-Vietnamese relations became tense. After the commune was abolished, the farm was changed, and Shahe was under the jurisdiction of the north, Xisanqi and Dongsanqi were under the jurisdiction of the south, and Huilongguan was under the jurisdiction of the west.
Huilongguan Community is located in the east of this core area. At that time, except for a few rows of blue brick bungalows, the farm organs were basically farmland, and there were Sanhe Village (now Yayuan), Zhouzhuang (now Qu Yun Garden), Beidian (now Longteng Garden) and Liangzhuang (now Matrix Community). The earliest residential area here is now the family courtyard of the northern suburb farm, and those rows of bungalows have a history of more than 30 years. After the farm office building was completed, it became the earliest building here. Although it was only a three-story red brick building, it was also the tallest building here at that time. This was more than twenty years ago. A few years later, the northern suburb farm began to build the first dormitory building, and high-rise residential buildings began to appear here. This 20-year-old building is the No.1 building of the Family Courtyard of the Farm. Later, buildings 2 to 6 were built one after another, and a large residential complex began to appear here.
After Beijing began to implement housing reform and real estate boom, the farm decided to relocate its subsidiary, the northern suburb chemical plant, and build residential buildings in the factory, which is now Longhua Garden Community. At the same time, a ten-mile long street will be built to connect Huilongguan and Huo Ying, so as to prepare for the future development of the eastern part of Huilongguan. At present, Huilongguan East Street, the main road of Huilongguan Community, is built on the basis of Shilichang Street, which is one of the few remaining roads in this area. Houhuayuan Real Estate bought the land from the west of the farm's relatives' courtyard to Badaling Expressway to build a residential area, which is now Huihuayuan.
After the Beijing Municipal Government implemented the construction of affordable housing, Tian Hong Group took a fancy to Huilongguan, a land of geomantic omen, and began to invest in the development and construction of Huilongguan cultural residential area. Since then, this place has become the largest construction site in Beijing. After several years of construction, the completion of the first, second and even sixth phases of the community has made earth-shaking changes here. In the past, the farmland was full of tall buildings, and people from all directions gathered here to start a new life.
Looking at this place again, I am deeply touched that Huilongguan has changed from a village to a city!
