Nanjing has a place called "Sajiawan", why is it called Sajiawan?

Nanjing small Europe for you to answer:

Nanjing Sajiawan this place is located in Gulou District, this place I have a lot of feelings, my life first military training (junior high school) is here to train, that time assigned to our class female instructor is really very beautiful, very beautiful. Ahem, back to the topic.

"Sajiawan" was originally known as the three Bay, because the road has three turns, and then because of the Sajiawan residence, so called Sajiawan. Sajiawan famous also mainly a Nanjing Institute of Political Science (the original, has been merged into other schools), the interior of the former site of the Ministry of Transportation in the Republic of China. On the opposite side of the Republic of China Ministry of Railways, on North Zhongshan Road. Previously, when I walked through the house often feel that this place is different, very much a sense of history, just can not get in.

In April 1927, the Nanjing National Government was established, in May, the Ministry of Transportation was established. In 1932, Zhu Jiahua took over as the Minister of Transportation, and in order to improve the office conditions, the Ministry of Transportation was built on Zhongshan North Road in the name of building the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications Building. The building was designed by the Russian Yelan, the building plan was in the shape of "sun", and a patio was designed between the main building and the two wings of the annex. Reinforced concrete structure, three-storey building, the roof design using the traditional Chinese palace-style heavy eaves, glazed tile roof, quite magnificent.

In front of the main entrance, it imitates the design of the Jinshui River and Jinshui Bridge in front of the Forbidden City in Beijing.

I'm Sasha, I'll answer.

Sasha's 9373rd reply.

Because Sajiawan is a bay in Sasha's house?

No kidding, Sasha is familiar with Sajiawan, and has a cousin who lives near the eighth grade. When I was a kid we used to go to his house to play just slipping around the neighborhood, walking all over the streets.

For a while, I also took classes inside the Nanjing Institute of Political Science. Originally, the Institute of Politics does not allow outsiders to enter casually, and took the opportunity to also count a wandering.

Sajiawan was originally called Sanjiawan, because the road is very strange, not a straight road, but three consecutive turns.

Although there are many small streets and alleys in Nanjing that are curved, it is rare to see them continuously curved like this.

In the Yuan Dynasty, a large family named Sa (not Sasha) lived here.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Sa was mainly a surname of the colorful people of the western region. They were mostly ethnic minorities from the West, who came to Shanxi in the Yuan Dynasty and later went to Nanjing as officials, thus settling here.

When the color eye officials have a high status, this Sa family is very powerful, it should be like the Red Chamber Dream Grand View Garden to get a large villa area and garden.

And Sajiawan this street is actually not long, the main on the occupation of the Sajia family, also became Sajiawan.

After the Republic of China, the Sa family has long been in disrepair, but the name of the place has not changed.

In 1927, after the establishment of the Nanjing National Government, the Ministry of Transportation was formed. In those days, transportation was very important, related to the country's economy, military and politics.

And China's transportation is very backward, so the Ministry of Transportation is also the first important department.

However, the Ministry of Transportation did not have its own office, and for five years it was temporarily located on Huaqiao Road, a very small place with a poor working environment.

Starting from 1932, Zhu Jiahua took over as the Minister of Transportation and decided to build an office building for the Ministry of Transportation, otherwise it was really unseemly.

So he chose to build the Ministry of Construction, Post and Telecommunications Building, the Ministry of Transportation office building, opposite the Ministry of Railways building.

This building was shot by the Russians, there are three floors to engage, is a combination of Chinese and Western buildings.

The construction work lasted more than 1 year, which is later the most important building in Sajiawan, also the office organization.

The building suffered some damage during the war, and was gradually restored after the occupation of Nanjing by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in 1949, mainly by replacing the roof that had been destroyed by artillery, while the main body of the building was still in its original state.

These buildings, like other Republic of China buildings in Sajiawan, were used by the government, and the area was mainly under the control of the Nanjing Military Region.

In the 1970s, the Nanjing Institute of Politics (then called the School of Politics) was established here, mainly for training political cadres.

And the building of the Ministry of Transportation became the West Campus of the Nanjing Political Institute of the PLA, which has been listed as a key architectural relic in the 90s.

Opposite the Political Science College is the Ministry of Railways building, which is also an old building of the Republic of China.

During the Nationalist Government in Nanjing, the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Transportation were initially separate and not a system.

At that time, the state attached great importance to railroads, and the first Minister of Railroads in Nanjing was Sun Ke, the son of Sun Yat-sen. Sun Ke was not only quite capable, but also served as Minister of Transportation.

After the establishment of the Ministry of Railways, there is a lack of office space, with the Ministry of Transportation crowded in the Overseas Chinese Road.

So the Ministry of Railways also began to build a completely Chinese-style Ministry of Railways building, opposite the Institute of Political Science.

After the construction was completed in the 1930s, the Ministry of Railways was also located here, across the street from the Ministry of Transportation.

In May 1946, when the national government returned to the capital, Song Ziwen, the president of the Executive Yuan, moved the Executive Yuan to the main building of the complex because the Ministry of Railways was abolished during the war.

The Executive Yuan, which is mainland China's State Council, the country's highest political body, is housed in the Ministry of Railways building.

That said, Sajiawan is just a small, unassuming street and alley in Nanjing, and there are so many historic Republic of China building complexes.

Nanjing has more than 1,500 preservation value of the Republic of China buildings, scattered in all corners of the city.

Checking the old map of Nanjing in 1936, Sajiawan refers to the section of Bay Road in front of the current Nanjing Eighth Middle School. It is an extension of Sanpailou and Louzi Lane, and turns west through Wulingli to the British Consulate (now Double Door House Hotel)

I have lived in Nanjing Sajiawan for more than ten years. Sajiawan is located in the northeastern corner of Nanjing city, belonging to the Gulou District, the seat of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, and not far from Nanjing's second largest commercial circle, Shanxi Road and Yijiangmen, with convenient transportation and easy living. Sajiawan east exit for Fujian Road, the west exit that is the main road Zhongshan North Road, just a few hundred meters turned three times, originally called Sanjiawan, it is said that there has been a family living in Sajiawan, so now called Sajiawan. Zhongshan North Road, Sajiawan bus station on both sides of the two famous Republic of China complex, one is the Ministry of Transportation of the Kuomintang, the seat of the General Administration of the Chinese Post Office, a Kuomintang Executive Yuan, the Ministry of Railways, the seat of the Ministry of Food, the two places across the road from each other. After liberation, in addition to the General Post Office assigned to the Jiangsu Provincial Post and Telecommunications Administration (later the Communications Regulatory Bureau) to use, the other complexes assigned to the Nanjing Military Region Division, political organs, moved in the early 1970s, is now the People's Liberation Army Institute of Politics. Sajiawan is close to the back wall of the north courtyard of the Institute of Politics.

303, 305, 307 North Zhongshan Road, the former seat of the Ministry of Transportation of the Kuomintang, then the Nanjing Military Region Armored Corps Command, now the People's Liberation Army Institute of Political Science of the National Defense University. The Sajiawan bus stop is very close to here, across the street from the former KMT Administration, later Nanjing Police District, now the College of Political Science of the National Defense University. I served in the Nanjing Military District Armored Corps Command in the 1970s.

Most of the people who live by the curved creek are named Sa

Once upon a time, there was a Muslim called Sa Niuqiang who lived here and built a Taoist temple, because the Vajra chanting is good, attracting nuns from all over the world to dance in the square, unlimited scenery, and anyone who comes to the bend, so it is named - Sa Jiabian

Southeast, northwest, and all the other parts of the city. I don't know.
