The "Big World" covers an area of more than 14,000 square meters, and it includes a juggling stage in the theater and movie theater, a bookstore, and Chinese and Western restaurants in the mall. It was founded by Huang Chujiu, a businessperson who once ran the "Louwai Building". Huang Chujiu hired literati to advise it and gave each new building an elegant name. Such as Feige Liudan, overlooking from the top of the floor, autumn in the pavilion, spring in the Guangsha, sitting on the moon in the wind, cranes on frost days, exploration of the Yinghai, listening to music in the crane pavilion, and sparkling screens, etc., known as the "Ten Wonders of the Big World". Huang Chujiu also designed many new tricks: the "Republic Hall" was set up on the ground floor, which attracted famous prostitutes from Shanghai to perform in turns, euphemistically called "Qunfang can sing"; high-altitude spaceships were installed in the open-air venue to attract children; "Qiankun big drama tide has two floors, with more than 1,000 seats, movies on the day, and Beijing opera at night. In addition," zoetrope "," Jigong altar ", and gambling games" slot tigers "are all over the venue to suit the interests of all kinds of citizens After the opening of "Big World", Huang Chujiu ran a "Big World" newspaper, and the writers gave away "Big World" monthly coupons. Huang Chujiu was ingenious again. He opened a tour savings department, in addition to raising funds, he also gave away "Big World" tickets to attract tourists. Some undercover prostitutes in the French Concession bought long-term "Big World" tickets and solicited customers to "run the world" in prostitution. Gambling caves, brothels, and opium parlors around "Big World" came into being, and banks, banks, foreign banks, business houses, hotels, restaurants, and so on appeared. "Big World" tourists are so famous that if foreign guests come to Shanghai without going to the "White World", they will be considered to have never been to Great Shanghai.
