The birth of Taishan Ring Building is inseparable from the Chinese Economy. According to the \”Taishan County Chronicle\”, from 1900 to 1930, the total amount of funds transferred to the country through silver credit industry exceeded US$120 million, of which 30% were spent on construction investment. Taking Taicheng Xining City as an example, the \”Yuanguan Avenue\” gallery group built by Huajiaji Capital in 1923 adopted a reinforced concrete frame structure for the first time, breaking through the limitations of traditional brick wood buildings. This space model of \”lower and upper house\” not only extends the traditional market structure of Guangfu, but also integrates into the corridor design of Nanyang Ring Building, forming a unique \”three and two corridors\” transformation-the width of the base corridor reaches 3.5 meters. , far exceeding the 1.8-meter standard of Guangzhou Ring Road, meets the frequent commercial activities needs of the country.

Taishan Ring Road shows amazing cultural integration capabilities in decoration. Taking the Taicheng Old Town, which has praised the \”China Historical and Cultural Street\” as an example, The facade of the building presents a typical paradigm:

neoclassical style: like the gallery on Zhongshan Road, The Greek Corinthian column style is combined with the Nan brick carving, and the column honeysuckle grass pattern is replaced with lychee pattern, which is in line with the auspicious meaning of \”Lishi\”;

Baroque Change: Traditional bat reliefs are embedded in the sacred mountain flowers on the Tongjin Road Rd, realizing the image transformation of \”Blessings\”.

This kind of \”Western bones and skin\” construction wisdom was institutionally confirmed in the 1925 \”Taishan Architecture Regulation\”, and it is stipulated that buildings along the street must have a galley of more than 2 meters, and encouraged Adopt \”Chinese and Western style\”.

3. The coupling evolution of social ecology and spatial functions

The physical space of Taishan Ring Road deeply shapes the social ecology of the country. In 1933, the \”Siyiwuqian\” statistics showed that 72% of the commercial businesses in Taipei\’s galleys were resident enterprises, forming three major industrial clusters, namely silver, department stores, and teahouses. What is more distinctive is the \”Jizukui Ring\” – Ruzhengshi Street The \”United Chang\” building was built, with a first-level operationThe business is a two-layer equipment tribal office, and the three-layer viewing platform. This vertical functional division realizes a three-dimensional integration of business, clan and defense needs. In terms of climate adaptability design, the \”travel style\” system of the galley corridor can reduce the indoor temperature by 3-5℃, while the removable wooden trench doors also include both wind and fog protection.

The Chinese cultural genes it carries are complete in the triple dimension of \”architecture-social-memory\” cultural ecological system. In the context of global localization, the protection of the galley should not be stopped in a quiet preservation, but also needs to activate its function as a cultural heritage – not only defines the historical recognition of townships, but also provides an innovative paradigm for contemporary urban renewal. The continuation of this \”live-life\” is the dynamic computer of inclusiveness and creativity of Chinese civilization.
