Extended information about Xiechengsheng Cloth Shop:
Xie Chengsheng Cloth Shop is located in Xihuashi Street outside Chongwenmen. It was founded in the early Republic of China by Li, a native of Raoyang, Hebei Province (1912-1914). At that time, there were more than 20 employees, and later it increased to nearly 100.
At first, it mainly engaged in food bags, quilt covers, horse wadding (cloth bags placed on farmers' shoulders) and white cloth. Later, it developed into a famous big cloth shop, with a complete range of goods such as plain cloth, foreign cloth homespun and silk satin.
1949, New China was founded. Driven by the people's government's policy of "giving consideration to public and private interests, benefiting both employers and employees, mutual assistance between urban and rural areas, and internal and external exchanges", the business of Xiecheng Shengbu Store continues to prosper. But in the 1950s, due to the government's need for this place, Xie Chengsheng withdrew his business.
