In view of this powerful proposition, it can be inferred that the eastern suburb of Seoul, now Dongdaemun District, has been regarded as a natural defense zone since ancient times, and it also has fertile land that can feed many people. Therefore, in the Korean era, the northeast area of Dongdaemun area was also recommended as the alternate area of Nanjing.
The capital of Seoul began in the first month of the fifth year of Taizu (1396), when the Korean dynasty was just established and Hanyang, the capital, was not yet 1.5 years old. At this time, the capital * * * has eight gates, including three gates and five small gates. And all three doors have steps. The first one is Chongli Gate (South Gate), and the second one is Xingren Gate (East Gate). As the south gate that advocates etiquette is symmetrical, the east gate is the name of Xingren. But no one called it Xingrenmen or Xingrenmen. Most people called it Dongdaemun, and the name Dongdaemun soon spread all over the country. It is also worth mentioning that big cities in places other than Seoul also have gates, called South Gate and East Gate. For example, although Kaesong is also called the South Gate, it is not called the East Gate anywhere. Therefore, the name Dongdaemun has become the only proper noun in China.
During the Korean dynasty, Gangwon was accessible from the east gate, and even people who went to Sannan crossed the Arrow Bridge along the Hanjiang levee from the east gate. Moreover, people who went to the north of Xianqing Road did not choose the East Gate, but went out of the East Gate and chose Anyong Cave and Zhongyong Cave. Because the sun rises in the east, the east is the hometown of all people, regardless of ancient and modern times. If it is fertile land, it will naturally become the central area of agricultural society. Li Chenggui, the founder of the Korean dynasty, finally found a satisfactory place at the end of the eastern suburbs when he was looking for his grave. He forgot his worries. Moreover, the last tomb of the Korean dynasty is also located at the end of the eastern suburbs, so these are all manifestations of oriental worship.
Because the eastern suburb outside the capital circle is not only the hometown of the heart, but also a very fertile land, the Xiannong altar where the royal family offered sacrifices to Shennong is also located 30 minutes' walk from the East Gate. The Xiannong altar sacrifice lasted until May 5, four years before the country was completely reduced to a Japanese colony (19 10). This is the first summary of the pro-farming song sung by Emperor Shunzong here when he was pro-farming in Dongjitian in the third year of Longxi (1909).
On April 5, the third year of Longxi, the emperor inspected Dongjitian in Xiannongtan. Only by advocating agriculture-oriented can we get everyone's support. Let's take it back together. Long live the increase of farming and mulberry, and the increase of household registration in Longxi.
Today, the scope of Dongdaemun District is not spacious, and Dongdaemun and Dongsi, which once belonged to the jurisdiction of Dongdaemun District, also belong to the jurisdiction of other regions. But in the east, there are Li Men site, the first tomb of the Prince, the peak of worship to heaven, the lush forest in Hongling, the memorial hall of King Sejong, the Liang Qing Temple and the site of Xiannongtan. There are still many historical sites in the jurisdiction of Dongdaemun District, which firmly guard the unshakable position of the eastern suburbs with a long history and tradition.
Although Zhonglu District and Seoul Central District belong to four gates, the characteristics of the two regions are obviously different. And although they are all outside the city, the faces of Dongdaemun area and Xidaemun area are obviously different and have their own characteristics. Chengdong District, Chengbei District and Dongdaemun District adjacent to Dongdaemun District are also very different, and the faces of Zhonglangchuan District and Dongdaemun District across the river are also very different. Until the end of the Korean dynasty, there was not much difference between the northern region, the Dongdaemun region and the eastern region. There is a Korean mountain in the north area, but there is no such big mountain in Dongdaemun area. Apart from this difference, these areas used to be peaceful and quiet rural areas.
Although they are all in the same eastern suburb of Seoul, the Dongdaemun area opened earlier than the north and east areas, so it developed faster.
Dongdaemun District was opened in material form during 1897, the state funeral and mausoleum burial of Empress Mingcheng, and it was precisely because of this red mausoleum that the two emperors, Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Shunzong, visited more frequently. The earliest tram in North Korea was opened to Qingliangli Station on May1899 (the eighth day of April). At that time, there were only a few bicycles and rickshaws on the streets of Seoul, and not even a carriage was seen. Cars were an era that I didn't even dare to think about, so the opening of trams was an almost groundbreaking event. The car was electrified in Tashili 19 14 years ago, and it was electrified in Zhongdun Cave in Chengbei District 194 1 year ago. It can be seen how early the new caves and pavilions were developed.
This was also a great event in the late1890s. Modern shade trees were planted from the east gate to the cool house, which was also the first time in the whole Korean peninsula at that time.
With the opening of Jingyuan Line, Qingliangli Station started its first operation at 19 14, and the East Station of Jingchun Railway started its trial operation at 1939.
The current address of the American apartment is the place where the preparatory building of Imperial College Beijing was completed in May 1924, while the new hole of Zongran Textile Co., Ltd. Beijing factory was completed in May 10, and the new hole of Beijing Racecourse was officially completed in September 1928.
After the recovery, the whole urban area of Seoul experienced the phenomenon of population concentration, especially in Dongdaemun District. /kloc-By the end of the 1960s, dense buildings had been built in various caves, such as Xinjian, Longtou, Jiji, Dianlong and Qingliangli, and almost no open space could be found. This trend also appeared in Tashili, Huiqing, Huiji, Li Men and other places at 1970. At that time, when a large number of immigrants poured into caves such as Tashiri, Huiqing, Huiji and Rimen, and buildings were built rapidly, the Seoul municipal government was too fast to carry out planned development such as zoning and merger. This is because the area centered on Qingliangli Station is more convenient in transportation and education than other areas in downtown Seoul, and it is precisely for this reason that a large number of people can be resettled in a relatively short period of time.
However, from the late11960 s to the late11970 s, except for a few buildings, most of these houses were built on a plot of about 30 ping, which is the so-called real estate sales building. Therefore, in the present era when the income level exceeds 6000 USD and enters10,000 USD, these buildings are almost all areas that need to be redeveloped.
Of course, there are also areas under the jurisdiction of Dongdaemun District that have been redeveloped through planning and integration. The planning and arrangement of the newly-built cave area where the Beijing Racecourse used to be located has been implemented since the early 1960s, but that was more than 30 years ago, and these buildings are also facing the situation of redevelopment.
The implementation of planning and consolidation in Chang 'anping area was from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. Therefore, as a newly developed area, although its planning level is not inferior to other areas, it is a pity that the area is too narrow to bring great changes to the overall appearance of Dongdaemun District.
The industrial situation is similar. From Beijing market to Qingliangli market, from the aquatic products market in the south to the olive wholesale market, it can be said that whether it is the scale, trading volume or its rich commodity varieties, it is the highest level in South Korea, or it is already in the position of representing South Korea. It may be well-known in South Korea to mention the Jingdong market near Qingliangli Station in Seoul.
In a word, almost all the residential and industrial facilities under the jurisdiction of Dongdaemun District have entered an ultra-old state or will break through this state, which is the inevitable result of all traditional and early developed areas.
