Zhang Xiaoquan scissors
Hangzhou scissors became famous all over the world from "Zhang Xiaoquan" in the early Qing Dynasty, and "Zhang Xiaoquan" became one of the world-famous "Five Hangs" in Hang Cheng. Hangzhou Zhang Xiaoquan Group Co., Ltd. is a scissors manufacturer with the largest output and the most complete variety in the domestic scissors industry. He has a long history. In the second year of Kangxi (1663), he came to Hangzhou with his son Zhang, and set up a scaffolding to forge scissors at the foot of the prosperous Wu Shan at that time, which was the predecessor of Hangzhou scissors.
Zhang Xiaoquan's scissors manufacturing technology is a family tradition, and it is famous for making high-quality steel satin of Longquan sword. It is sharp, light and durable, and its style, variety and specifications have been improved, and its business is booming and its market is getting wider and wider. Legend has it that the original scissors were straight-handled, and now there is another story about the crank. Shortly after Zhang Xiaoquan came to Hangzhou. The well water of Qiantang No.1 well in the first big well lane turned black and smelled bad. This well is the domestic water source of hundreds of households in Dajingxiang area. Seeing this scene, there are many discussions. One of the elders said that this well leads to Qiantang River, and there are two refined female and male snake spirits in the river. They cross-spawn once every ten years. This year is exactly ten years. If this well is to be clear forever, unless the two snakes are removed. This word reached Zhang Xiaoquan's ears, thinking that I came to Hangzhou from other places to make a living, and my neighbors treated me well, so he relied on his own good water, took a sledgehammer while it was hot, and prepared to go down and shoot snakes. After bathing Zhang Xiaoquan with realgar wine among all the neighbors, he jumped into the well with a sledgehammer and dived into the bottom of the well, and saw two snakes intertwined. Before the two snakes could react, he swung the hammer and hit them right on the "seven inches". Zhang Xiaoquan is a considerate person. When he saw a snake's crooked tail, he realized an idea. He imitated the curved tail of a snake and made a pair of scissors with curved handles. In fact, the curved handle scissors are more convenient to use than the straight handle scissors. Since then, Zhang Xiaoquan's scissors have been changed into curved handles. Zhuangyuanlou
Champion Pavilion is an unknown painting gallery originally opened in Qinghefang. Founded in the tenth year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (187 1), it was opened by Wang Shangrong, a native of Ningbo, specializing in Ning-style noodle soup business. There is another story about the origin of the Champion Pavilion. One night, a scholar in an old blue shirt walked into a noodle restaurant in Wang Shangrong and ordered a bowl of noodle soup. When Wang Shangrong heard that he was his compatriot, he began to talk with the scholar. During the conversation, I learned that the scholar came to the provincial capital to take the exam, but he never found a place to live because of his poor family. Wang Shangrong is a warm-hearted man, so he said to the scholar, "If you don't mind, please come to my shop." . Seeing the sincerity of this fellow countryman, the scholar agreed. The second important thing is to take the entrance examination. Wang Shangrong specially cooked a bowl of "double-sided noodles" for the scholar. The so-called "double noodles" is egg and meat noodles, which means that both the provincial and Beijing exams have been successful. On the second day after the exam, Wang Shangrong cooked several dishes in Ningbo, such as soup, yellow croaker and Ningshi silk, and compared them with the scholar. While waiting for the list to be released, the scholar helped in the shop. Soon, the scholar was selected, and he was about to go to Beijing to take the exam, but he didn't have enough money around him, so Wang Shangrong took the initiative to collect the money for the scholar. Before he left, Wang Shangrong cooked a bowl of yellow croaker noodles for the scholar, which means that he will definitely "leap over the Dragon Gate" when he goes to Beijing to catch the exam. Sure enough, this time Jinshi was admitted to Jinshi, leaving only Jiangxi. On the way to his post, the scholar thanked Xie Wan and wrote "Zhuangyuan Building" as a farewell. Since then, Wang Shangrong's noodle restaurant has an elegant name.

According to legend, once Hu Xueyan's concubine was ill, Hu Xueyan sent a servant to Ye Zhongde Hall to get medicine. After retrieval, it was found that several medicines had gone moldy and deteriorated, and Hu Xueyan sent someone to change them. Unexpectedly, the medicine was not changed, but was ridiculed by the wealthy Ye Zhongdetang: "This medicine is the only one in our store, and it is better. Please ask Mr. Hu to open a medicine number himself. " Hu Xueyan was furious after hearing this: How can you make fun of human life? Do you really think I can't afford to open a drugstore in Hu Xueyan? In this rage, Hu Xueyan decided to open a pharmacy bigger than Ye Zhongdetang. In the 13th year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1874), Hu Xueyan began to build Qingyutang drugstore, and in the 4th year of Guangxu, Dajingxiang store was built and officially opened, but Hu Xueyan did not forget the hate of being bullied, and wrote "Stop bullying" in his own handwriting, and made a plaque to hang in it to remind the people in the store at all times. At that time, Zhejiang famous doctors were invited to study the medicine number and carefully prepare authentic medicinal materials to make them famous in the north and south of the river, so there was a saying that "Qingyutang in the south and Tongrentang in the north", and Hu Xueyan himself was also called "Jiangnan Medicine King".
