Qingguo Lane is located in the middle-south of Changzhou's old city, which starts from Heping Road to the South Main Street, Changzhou's famous commercial street. It is one of the oldest lanes in Changzhou, which was built in The Wanli Period of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) in 1581. As Qingguo Lane at that time, joined the grand canal between Beijing and Hangzhou, which is one of the longest and oldest canals in the world, lots of ships gathered there and made it a distribution center of fruit. There were also many fruit stores along the bank. So, Qingguo Lane also has an old name, which is Qianguo Lane. After many years the canal diversed, but the lane’s name remained. In Changzhou dialect, qian and qing is difficult to distinguish in pronunciation, which made the name now. Qingguo Lane is famous for hundreds years of residence at Bagui Hall. Many great men once lived there, such as Qu Qiubai, one time leader of the Chinese Communist Party, who was born in Changzhoy, Tang Jingchuan, the military strategest, who was born in Wujing of Changzhou etc. It was a gathering of talents. Recently, Changzhou’s planning bureau has put more and more emphasis on the protection of Qingguo Lane. The bureau has finished the scheme of the protection, which is repond to Qingguo Lane’s historical cultural street. Qingguo Lane is the lane of traditional opera, of calligraphy and writing, of industrialists and educators, of revolutionists and has many ancestral temples. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Qingguo Lane」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
