Party in Kaifeng Bookstore Street
At the southern end of Bookstore Street, there is a blue-gray Qing Dynasty building, and the sculpture of "Shouxing Holding Peach" is inlaid right above the gate. Wearing a yellow robe and a white beard, the old birthday girl is as vivid as walking on the wall. This old shop was founded in Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty. The shopkeeper used to do business in Jincheng and Yangcheng, Shanxi, and later opened this store in Kaifeng, named "Jinyangyu". Mainly engaged in fruits and groceries, it was also converted into a pastry workshop, which was once prosperous. Time has passed and changed several times. In the ups and downs of history, Jinyang Rain has irretrievably declined, but this time-honored brand has been preserved and now it has become a bookstore.

Next to Jinyang Valley, there is a small building with grey walls and red columns, which looks like a church. The wall carving is the traditional "trademark" of two wheat ears, with colorful carvings of lotus, lotus leaf and lotus root on both sides. Bookstore Street also has a famous old-fashioned "Bao" brand. It was founded in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty, and its owner Bao was originally based on? A peddler who sells pens for a living made a fortune and built this warehouse. When his son took over the business, he changed to making cakes and became famous. However, now that the scenery has been long, he is also managing books. Bookstore Street has not only bookstores, but also restaurants and department stores. Strangely, it is difficult for other industries to become a big climate here. In addition to all kinds of books, there are also hundreds of cultural products such as pens, ink, paper, sports equipment, Chinese and foreign musical instruments, ancient and modern calligraphy and painting, and most of them are prosperous.

Bookstore Street is an old street and a small street. It is only 600 meters long, but now there are more than 40 bookstores and 100 stationery stores. Despite hundreds of years of vicissitudes, it still maintains the cultural characteristics of the bookstore and adheres to the street view of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is this insistence on individuality that makes Bookstore Street unique among many old commercial streets and adds a lot of charm to this city with ancient books.
