Dashilan is one of the most important commercial blocks in Beijing. Its was named from the luxurious fence gate at the entrance of Hutong. It’s a public facility that cooperated with the curfew policy and block governance in ancient Beijing, especially in Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. This article looks for the clues of the fence culture from the palace paintings, maps, old photos and other image materials, which is a tracing exploration of the history of the Dashilan street. It can also provide a new perspective for the renovation and renewal of the traditional blocks.
