美丽的缙云山山麓下的北碚场,大约兴起于明末清初。民国初年只是一条仅几十户人家居住的小街,市面十分清冷。后来实业家卢作孚从上海内迁至此,开办民生公司,才将街面扩大了一些。到抗战时国民政府内迁,北碚才到了大发展时期,成为战时陪都的“小重庆”。著名作家老舍在这里写出了蜚声文坛的《四世同堂》,文化巨匠郭沫若的几出历史剧当年也曾在此公演, Beneath the beautiful Jinyun Mountain foothills, about the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty. In the early years of Republic of China, it was only a small street where only a few dozen families lived. The market was very cold. Later, the industrialist Lu Zuofu moved from Shanghai to this, and started the Minsheng Co. to expand the street to some. When the Kuomintang government moved in during the war of resistance against Japan, Beibei moved to a period of great development and became a “small Chongqing” during the war. The famous writer Lao She wrote the famous literary world “Four Generations” here, and Guo Moruo, the great cultural masters, also made a series of historical plays in that year.
