What does Zhongguancun mean?

Zhongguancun is a high-tech center in Beijing. It is called "Silicon Valley of China", and many people call it "Village" for short. Geographically, it is located in Haidian District, northwest of Beijing, between the Northwest Third Ring Road and the Northwest Fourth Ring Road. Many western analysts are optimistic about the future of Zhongguancun, because it is close to Tsinghua University and Peking University, the two most famous universities in China. The important reason is that Stanford University played a similar role in the initial development of Silicon Valley. Many computer users buy their high-tech products here. Zhongguancun is the first IT in China. When it comes to Zhongguancun, people will immediately associate it with high technology. However, a few decades ago, it was still a desolate cemetery, mostly the graves of eunuchs. In the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs began to buy "righteous land" in Zhongguancun, forming their own burial place. The lonely eunuch who left the palace lived here. Their lives depend on the donations of rich eunuchs. They usually visit the tombs of eunuchs buried here, burn incense and pray. Because eunuchs in Ming and Qing dynasties were called "middle officials", they were called "middle official graves". There is also a saying that since the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs have built temples and old-age manors here, and because they were called "middle officials" at that time, they called this place "middle official village". Today, in the courtyard to the north of Peking University's Physics Building, there is a eunuch sacrificial temple and a eunuch statue called Gangbing. With the change of history, there have been some appellations that are homophonic with "middle officials", such as Guan Zhong, Er, Tun, etc. There are also many legends about how Zhongguancun evolved from a "middle official" to a "middle customs". First, it is 19 13. The use of the place name "Guanzhong" has been seen in the 25,000-scale map of western Beijing. People have different views on this title. Some people think that in the late Qing dynasty, when the relevant personnel compiled the map, they changed "Ya" to "Guan Zhong" because it meant that eunuchs were not pleasant to listen to. Others say that when Empress Dowager Cixi celebrated her birthday, she built a city gate here for her birthday, hence the name. Zhongguancun was officially named after liberation. After liberation, the China Academy of Sciences was built here, and it was renamed Zhongguancun at the suggestion of Mr. Chen Yuan, President of Beijing Normal University, because the word "official" was not pleasant to hear. Another story is that after the editorial department of Geography of China affiliated to the Institute of Geography of China Academy of Sciences moved to the new site of Chinese Academy of Sciences on 1953, Yuan Baocheng, the administrative officer in charge of this matter, mistook "Zhongguantun" for "Zhongguancun" in oral communication, which was in the period of "three evils against five evils". In order to avoid the charge of "waste", envelopes must be printed. Hailong Building, Dinghao Building, Science and Trade Building, Sinosteel Building and other office buildings constitute the most conspicuous buildings. The word "Zhongguancun" is very famous in the high-tech field in China and even in other fields in China.
