在北京城南的金鱼池西侧,有几条普普通通的小胡同——锦绵头条、二条和三条。老北京人至今还叫它的老名——鞭子巷。 鞭子巷地处天桥的东北角,离前门大街上众多的戏园、茶楼很近。这特殊的地理条件,使它在本世纪初与不少的艺术家结下了缘。著名的京剧老旦李多奎先生就在鞭子巷头条住过。一代京剧大师梅兰芳先生也在鞭子巷度过了他“在戏剧方面发展的一个重要关键”阶段。 On the west side of Jinyu Lake in the south of Beijing, there are a few ordinary small alleys - Jinmian head, two and three. Old Pekingese is still called its old name - Whip Lane. Whip Lane is located in the northeast corner of the flyover, from the front door of the many theater, restaurant close. This special geographical condition made it end of the century with quite a few artists. The famous Peking Opera Lao Dan Li Duikui lived in the Whip Lane head. Mr. Mei Lanfang, a generation of Beijing opera masters, also spent his whip “an important and crucial stage in drama development.”
