This magical land is connected with two ancient Shanghainese. These twoShanghainese are Lu Shen, a great literary scholar of the Ming Dynasty, and hiswife, Mei Shi. According to the local chronicles of Shanghai, the meanderingHuangpu River has made a 90 degree bend here, leaving a prominent alluvialbeach. Looking from the west of the river to the other bank, this beach is likea giant golden horned beast, stretching out its head and opening its mouth todrink water. On this beach, Lu Shen's former residence and Lu's ancestral tombswere all built here, so it is called Lujiazui.
During the Yongle period of Ming Dynasty, the Huangpu River system wasformed. After converging with Wusong River from south to north, the river turnedto the East and formed a mouth shaped alluvial beach on the east bank. Lu Shen,a scholar of the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty, was born and died here,so this beach is called Lujiazui. There are many rivers in the territory,including gaoxiangbang, xiejiabang, dongyangjingbang, Lujiazui port, etc. At theend of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, there were scatteredfishermen in the southwest and middle of the territory, and later formed Peng'shouse. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, a pond wasbuilt to prevent flood and salt tide. There was a barren beach outside the pondand a ditch inside the pond. Boat people from Jiangsu and other places came tosettle here and gradually formed natural village houses such as yangjiamao,yujiamen, huayuanshiqiao and yefangqiao. Wangjiamen village was formed inJiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. In the light years of the Qing Dynasty, naturalvillages such as Zhangjiayan, wujianong and jiangjianong were formed.
After 1862, Britain, the United States, France, Japan and Germanysuccessively built warehouses, docks, stacks and factories in Lujiazui FinancialCenter complex. In the 10th year of Tongzhi, the Qing government established theship Merchants Group, the North Wharf in lannidu and the South trestle inLujiazui. British businessmen built Taigu Inn in lannidu. In lujiadu, there areYongxing Inn, Ruiji, huoyouchi, etc. Along the river, Lujiazui successivelybuilt yingshangxiang pig iron factory, Japanese Huangpu shipyard, Rihua yarnfactory, yingshangmaosheng yarn factory, British and American tobacco factory,etc. National industry and commerce also set up tianzhang paper mill, Yingchangmatch mill, hongxiangxing ship repair and manufacturing plant, etc. The commercein lannidu area is becoming more and more prosperous. A large number ofhousehold appliances, building materials such as brick, tile, bamboo and wood,and all kinds of local products are taking this as the distribution center,gradually forming a commercial street. During the Anti Japanese War, thecommerce in the territory gradually moved from lannidu road and Lujiazui road toDongchang Road. From the south to the north, there are eight sampan boats,including lujiadu, lannidu, youlonglu, longmaozhan, Chunjiang, fenshan,xiaonanyang and taitongzhan.
