Firstofall，Iwouldliketostartwiththeterm"Hutong"，H-U-T-O-N-GwhatdoesHutongmean?

Accordingtoexperts，thewordHutongoriginatedfromMongolianlanguagemeaning"Well".Inancienttimes，peopletendedtogatherandlivearoundwells.SotheoriginalmeaningofHutongshouldbe"aplacewherepeoplegatherandlive."AnotherexplanationsaysthatduringtheYuanDynasty，about13thcentury，residentialareasinthecityweredividedintomanydivisions.Betweenthesmallerdivisionswerepassagewaysforpeopletotravelthrough.Andthosepassagewaysalsofunctionedasisolationbeltsagainstfirerisks.InMongolianlanguage，passagewaysofthiskindwerecalledHutong.ButnomatterwhatHutongexactlymeans，onethingisforsure，thatis，HutongfirstappearedinBeijingduringtheYuanDynasty.Intheearly13thcentury，aMongoliantribefromthenorthbecameverystrong.LedbyGenghisKhan，theMongolianoccupiedBeijing，thecapitaloftheJinDynasty.Intheyear1271，KublaKhan，thegrandsonofGenghisKhan，oundedYuanDynastyandsetBeijingasthecapitalcityinthefollowingyear.Unfortunately，theoldcitywascompletelydestroyedduringthewar.Sotheyhadtorebuildit.InoldChina，allthestructuresandroadswererequiredtobesymmetrical.Sothecitywaswelldesigned.First，theyhadtofindacenter，andthenbuiltaregularsquarecity.Thelayoutofthecitywasverymuchlikeachessboard.About50residentialareaswereconstructed，withstraightroadsandHutongsinbetween.Atthetime，therewasacleardefinitionforavenue，streetandHutong.A37-metre-wideroadwascalledanavenue，an18-metre-wideonewascalledastreet，anda9-metre-widelanewascalledaHutong.Mostoftoday'sHutongwereformedduringtheMingandQingDynastiesthatfollowed.NobodyknowsexactlyhowmanyHutongsthereareinnowadaysBeijing.Butonethingisforsure，ifweconnectedalltheHutongstogether，theirtotallengthwouldevenbelongerthanthefamousGreatwall，whichisabout4000mileslonger.Ortomakeitclear，itcouldbuildahighwayfromSeattletoBoston，allacrossAmerica!
