Have you ever seen the gas station during the Republic of China?"Hidden" in Nanjing City

The gas station is closely related to the life of modern people. It is also the most common infrastructure in the city, but have you seen gas stations during the Republic of China? Recently, the blog master named "Ying Tianfu Jinfan" stated that it was said to be "the only Republic of China gas station in Nanjing". The ancient temperament and historical origin of the building caused heated discussion among netizens.

The blogger posted a number of photos on his personal homepage and said, "There is a Chinese hexagonal building on the roadside on the roadside of Zhongshanmen Street. Tingzi. Most people passing by don't understand that this 'small pavilion' was actually one of the few gas stations in Nanjing during the Republic of China. "

Xinhua Daily · Jiaojian reporter immediately contacted the blogger Mr. Zhao. He revealed that he was a native of Nanjing, and he was also a "post -90s" who was very interested in the architecture and historical relics of the Republic of China. I think it is very distinctive. I have always been wondering what it is used. Later, I checked a lot of historical materials before I learned that it was a gas station in the Republic of China. "

Mr. Zhao also showed a few old photos, "This promotional advertisement of this sub -fine oil company came from the declaration of the Republic of China. It can be seen that the style of the shell refueling pillar and the shell oil at the time were in the area of ​​the area." Mr. Zhao said, " According to him, this small pavilion is currently the only Republic of China gas station in Nanjing City, "but unfortunately it is not included in Cultural Bao."

According to the clues provided by Mr. Zhao, the reporter found this two -story "hexagonal pavilion" building at an exit of about 100 meters from Metro Line 2. From the style of the eaves of the pavilion, it can be clearly seen that it is very different from the surrounding modern style buildings and street style. It is located outside the green iron railing of the Kaixiang Huayuan Community. Opposite is the purple gold life square full of modern life. Although the green doors and windows and yellow walls have obvious renovation marks, obvious traces of paint can still be seen at the bottom of the wall, and the sense of age of this pavilion can be seen. Because the door was locked, the reporter did not enter. After asking the sanitation workers who worked nearby, the pavilion now mainly provided items and rest for sanitation workers.

The reporter also noticed that there is water ripples on the yellow wall of the pavilion, and a shell -shaped carving like shell oil on the eaves on the second layer of the peripheral eaves. The residents living nearby, Mr. Chen, who was in his 70s was a teacher of the former Nanjing Zhongshan Middle School. "This pavilion was a charging window for gas stations during the Republic of China. "Mr. Chen also revealed that behind the hexagonal pavilion was not the residential building, but Zhongshan Middle School.

Chen Ximin, a Nanjing folk collector who had been working in the oil department before retirement, told reporters that because of the work, he was more interested in "oil peripherals" and collected fuel tanks and invoices during the Republic of China. Tingzi is a gas station in the Republic of China. I have also seen it specifically. It is indeed unique. "

So is this hexagonal pavilion building a gas station of the Republic of China? The reporter interviewed Hu Zhuoran, a literary and historical expert who had worked at the Fangzhi Office of Nanjing. Hu Zhuoran said that this gas station is not a "new Internet celebrity". A few years ago, the official Weibo "@胡 胡" of Nanjing Fangzhi sent a black and white photo of this small pavilion. Many people were shocked: "The gas station of that year, good literature and art!" According to Hu Zhuoran, there were English annotations in the photo at that time, and the translation was: "This gas station in Nanjing shows that this place has been integrated into the world. Built in 1934 in 1934. This year's building is to sell gasoline, not ancient buildings or religious buildings. "

In addition, the reporter also learned that this pavilion was the sales office of the gas station at that time. The car refueling needed to use the refueling column at the door, that is, the column with "shell" written in the old photo. "Unfortunately, this old gas station has no longer existed." Hu Zhuoran said.
