Half a century ago, the rise and fall of Harbin Bathhouse

In Harbin in the 1970s, bathing was a big deal. At that time, the three generations lived in the same room and had hardly heard who could take a bath at home. The bathhouse became the only way to take a bath. I have a sense of rituals to go to the bathhouse a year ago, as if to participate in what celebrations, because many people can take a bath only during the New Year. In the morning in the morning at 4 am, you have to go in line at 4 am, and you ca n’t line up late ... After taking a shower, the red face, walking straight, and full of energy, until now, it will still make people talk about it. Essence

The most baths outside the old road are the most

At that time, there were quite a lot of baths in Harbin. The most were Daowai District. There were hot spring baths on Jingyang Street. This bath also had a gate on Jingyu Street. , Commonly known as New Erchi; there is a Binjiang Bathing Pond on Beixi Liu Dao Street, and ZTE Bathing Pond on Beifu Wudao Street; Dali Daojie Street has the first bathing pond, commonly known as Songjiang Bathing Pond; Xinjiang Bathing Pond in Nanqidao Street, Xinjiang Bathing Pond is Harbin The longest history of existing history was built in 1924 and has a history of more than 90 years.

There is a Bathing Pond on Daobo Sandao Street. The bath was later changed to Dahua Hostel. There is a peony pond in Sixteen Road in the South Sixteen Road, and there is a Xinjiangquan bath in Southern Fifteen Tao Street. There is a saying in the old Harbin people: Xinjiangquan takes a shower, the new world is full, the new stage is called, and it is good to buy a new one. Xinjiangquan Bathing was equipped with an elevator at that time, the water was complete, and it was very modern. There were more than 120 employees. Bathing here is a symbol of identity. There are Jiadong Yongquan bath in Chengde Street, and there are Tiantongquan baths on Jingyang Street. These baths are now gone.

There are many baths elsewhere in Harbin City in those years. Jianmin bathing ponds on the struggle road (now Guogoli Street), the mass baths on the door of the Martyrs Memorial Hall, the Nangang Bathing Pond on the West Bridge, and the Red Star Bathing Pond on the West Bridge; Longjiang baths on Shidao Street, victory baths on Duan Street, Xinyang Bathing Pond on Xinyang Road; Taiping Bathing Pond on Dongzhi Road in Taiping District; Xiangfang Bathing in Xiangfang District, these baths are well -known near them. All agencies, enterprises and institutions have also built baths, but they are not open to the public. Although there are so many baths, it still cannot meet the needs of Harbin citizens in that era.

At that time, bathing was very cheap. When the unit started the salary, there was a fee -washing fee, which was the cost of bathing and hair perm specifically for bathing and hairdressing. Some units are issued to two unified printed small tickets when starting their salary. One of the three hairs is a bath ticket, and a 3.5 hair is a rack. This bath ticket is common in Harbin. It seems that you can use any bath. Children take 1 meter and 5 cents with a bath of less than 1 meter, and 3 cents of more than 1 meter.

The bathhouse was spectacular in the New Year

At that time, the baths were usually on the second floor, the first floor was a female bath, and the second floor was a male bath. As soon as you enter the door, most of the slogans of "serving the people" are written. After entering the door, use a bath to change the ticket, pay for the ticket, and then line up. At that time, people could take a shower once or two in a month or two. The queue people were particularly orderly. When it was you turn, the waiter would shout: Come one, and another one. Then give you a key to tied the rope, as well as public towels, mostly white, red bar, a shop name printed on it; each person sends a small piece of soap, mostly yellow squares, the size is a bit like a bit like a bit, the size is a bit like a bit like a bit. Today's square sugar, put on slippers and get in.

The female bath has a bathtub and a shower. Men's baths are generally three large pools: a hot pool, a cold pool, and a small pool. The bath was soak for an hour and then rinsed with an aluminum basin, because there was no shower in the men's bath. In the 1980s, the male baths in Harbin were canceled, and all were replaced with shower.

At that time, the bathhouse was spectacular. People got up at 4 am in the winter. Go to take a bath in the morning. The first time the water is washed. The water in the pool is very clean. The main thing is to wash it early and benefit early. Wash it at seven or eight o'clock. Some people were happy to wash, singing in the pool, or yelling, the bathhouse was empty, not lingering, singing and shouting, the voice buzzed, with resonance.

Probably around 1966, Harbin's service industry canceled a bath, saying that bathing was to promote the corruption of the bourgeoisie. At that time, bathing and taking a bath was rubbing each other. People who knew and went together rubbed each other. If they didn't know each other, see which one is pleasing to the eye, and goes the initiative to say hello and rub each other. It was not until 1978 that the bath was restored, and the bath was on fire again.

Happy things in the bathhouse

It was a good thing to work in bathing in the 1970s, because he did not have to line up with his family to take a bath. I work in the bath. Then your seven aunts and eight aunts follow the light. If you don't queue in the bath, go up and get a gesture: Come in.

The waiter shouted a lot of voice, and the unit also had benefits. Before the Spring Festival, you have to send half a catty of tea to go home for guests. The work of the bath is two shifts, from 6 to 12 in the morning class, from 12 o'clock in the evening shift to 6 pm. New Year's Day and Spring Festival, work at two or three o'clock in the morning, and get off work at ninety o'clock in the evening.

▲ People were exhausted in the bathhouse.

At that time, there were often interesting things in bathhouses. One day in the middle of the night, Daowai Nanya Six -Daojie State -owned First Bath Ho La La La came to a large group of police officers wearing large blocks and white police uniforms, and several plainclothes policemen. It was a scene where the suspects were collectively bathing in the bathhouse at the night of Harbin under the night. Later, the police said that at the bathhouse, the suspects took off their clothes and took a bath comfortably. They remembered that the human nature returned from the good day before, and after returning, they explained honestly. In the 1970s, bathing had a "timetable", and the two professional terms, "One, Three Fives", "Two Four Six". In a woolen spinning factory in Harbin, the "13th Five -Year Plan" is a men's bath, and "Two Fourth Six" is the lady's bath. One day a female "Ma Daha" remembered the day, and entered the bath on the day when the men's bath. At that time, the bath did not look at the door, and the female "Ma Daha" also entered the big pond without watching the days. The bath in the bath was a piece of water and the mist was unclear. At this time, someone started talking. As soon as a few men who took a bath stood up, they scared the female "Ma Daha". They ran away and shouted: "Not good, there are men who enter the female bathhouse. , Come to the hooligan. "I went to the Security Division to report immediately ... The person in the defenders came. At that time, the people in the bath were scared enough. As soon as the defenders came, the woman" Ma Daha "went wrong himself. From then on, leaving a joke, in the future, the factory arranged a person to watch the bathhouse alone to avoid a business trip. The interesting things like these happened in the bathhouse, many years later, it is still the talk of people after dinner.

More than 50 years ago, there seemed to be no one can take a bath every day. The houses were all three generations of young and old, and the houses were very tense. Few bathing conditions had bathing conditions. I don't know when it started, Harbin people's houses have become spacious, and they can take a bath at home. These old baths have disappeared one by one. Followed by a magnificent bathing center, sauna baths, steam baths, stone fire baths, etc.

The city's bath industry reflects the progress of people's civilized consciousness, and is a vivid portrayal of urban life. Almost every family has a bathroom, and the bathhouse has become more and more memories of people's experience in the past.

More than half a century has passed. Deep in many people's hearts, after taking a shower, they blushed, walking straight, and spiritual expression, which enhanced their courage and confidence to face life. The author believes that many successful people today, after taking a shower that year, realized many philosophy of life, began to start a business and succeed.
