Hutongs
Hutong, the narrow pedestrian street between houses, is quickly disappearing. Hutongs are symbols of Beijing's historical and folk tradition; local communities gathered in hutong intersections. In 1949, there were approximately 7,000 hutongs in Beijing. But in the year 2000, just over 2,000 hutongs remained. The number of hutongs is declining at a rate of 600 per year. Today, many hutongs that were once well-known, such as the Biandan Hutong, Kusi Hutong and Beixincang No. 1-5 hutongs, are nowhere to be found.
Courtyard Houses Disappearing Under Development Pressure
A courtyard house is one of the most characteristic forms of housing in old Beijing. The basic structure of a courtyard house was first developed in the Liao Dynasty. During several hundreds years of evolution in the Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasty, the courtyard houses accumulated layers of knowledge and culture in fields such as architecture, humanity, philosophy, human relations and politics.
In 1949, the total area of courtyard houses was 17 million square meters. When renovations peaked during the 1990s, the area occupied by courtyard houses plummeted at a rate of 1 million square meters between 1990 and 2000, until last year, when it shrunk to 3 million square meters. Relatively well-known courtyard houses, such as the houses that famous writers Guo Moruo and Lao She used to live in, have managed to preserve their traditional function as sightseeing spots; but lesser-known and worn-out courtyard houses face a fated destruction. To the dismay of scholars in cultural studies, the genuine courtyard houses are being replaced by nondescript, fake antique-colored house roofs meant to simulate the old architecture.
