The name of the street lamp
Does the street lamp have a name? This question seems strange, even a little boring.
Yes, the earliest street lamp in China is called "Sai Yue Ming", which is both vulgar and elegant. Yu 1882 was born in Nanjing Road, Shanghai. At that time, only the concession in Shanghai had gas lamps. At night, the streets outside the concession were like power outages in modern cities, and only the moonlight in the city was on.
So when the arc lamp shines at night? At night, people have never seen such a bright street lamp, so they took the name of "Saimingyue". The straightforward name revealed the joy and surprise of people at that time.
The birth of "Saimingyue" originated from the first power plant in China-Shanghai Electro-Optical Company, which is also one of the earliest power plants in the world, several years earlier than the Japanese.
Nowadays, rows of street lamps in the city are surrounded by lampshades of different styles, but the light of "Sai Yue Ming" is lost under the neon lights of the city.
However, isn't it interesting to walk under a street lamp and give it a name according to your mood and feelings?
