With the development of traffic, two smallstreets were gradually formed at bothsides of Yangjingbang. The south one wascalled Kongzi Road and the north one wascalled Songjiang Road (both are now EastYan'an Road). Eight bridges, including WaiYangjing Bridge, No. 2 Yangjing Bridge,No. 3 Yangjing Bridge, Sanmaoge Bridge,Daigou Bridge, Zhengjia Wooden Bridge,Dongxin Bridge and Xixin Bridge were builtover Yanjingbang. There were numerousstores, hotels, tea houses, and tobaccohouses. That was the reason "outdoorinterpreters" got hot.At that time, people who understood Englishwere known as interpreters. Those who werenot good at translating, but always wanderedthrough the streets, were called "outdoorinterpreters". Because of the increasingcommunication needs of the emerging class

of English businessmen, a special "Englishfor business" was formed for lack of acommon speaking language. Foreignerscalled it pidgin English, we called it"Yangjingbang English".

There was a song withthe lyrics: "Come is 'kangmu', go is 'gu',twenty-four is 'tundefu', yes is 'yesi', no is

'na', so and so is 'sha xian yu sha'." Sohilarious! In response to this freakish pidginEnglish, Yang Shaoping in late Qing periodregarded it as a humiliation. He wrote in hisbook: "Those outdoor interpreters havecontact with foreigners every day, but theirEnglish speaking is so poor and they don'tcare. Foreigners overlook it, but it's still ashame."

洋泾浜英语

In those early prosperous years, thereused to be several large residential areasin Caojiadu: Xiao Xinzhuang, Taipingli,Cunshanli, and Xinkangli, the latter ofwhich was the largest in size andpopulation and had the highestreputation. Catching a No. 23 trolley bus,you would hear "Xinkangli" from the busstation broadcaster when you arrived atyour destination. In the past, thearchitecture here was the typicalShikumen style of Old Shanghai. Living

space was very cramped, exactly a "72Tenants" version of reality. Acriss-crossing tiny society of commonpeople's style was formed by fivehorizontal longtangs, two longitudinallongtangs and three small zigzaglongtangs. Tianhongxiang Fruit Store,Sanyangtai South Delicacies Grocery,Huaxiang Beauty Salon, and ChunyuanSnack Bar were all located along thestreet here. There were even hostelscalled Xin'an and Xinkang in the

neighborhood.Xinkangli had becomea large residential areawith full supportfacilities providingdining, clothing andliving necessities, aswell as convenienttransportation. In last20 years, after severalrounds of communityreconstruction anddevelopment, a newresidential area calledXinkangyuan was built

on the original site of Xinkangli. Thelongtangs were replaced by four tallbuildings, and the new name is ahomophone for the old one. Historicalculture is carried forward here, but thereis also the modern look of prosperity.

当年最鼎盛时，曹家渡地区曾经有几个大的居民区：小辛庄、太平里、存善里、忻康里。其中，忻康里又是整个地区面积最大，人口最多，名气最响的一个居民集居小区。坐上23路电车，到了终点站，报站器里便报出“忻康里”的地名。

当年，这里的建筑是旧上海最为典型的石库门风格，居住空间是非常局促的，完全是“七十二家房客”的现实版。五条横弄堂，二条竖弄堂，加上弯弯曲曲的三条小弄堂，组成了纵横交错、市景有味的小社会。沿街一带有天鸿祥果品店、三阳泰南货店、华祥美发厅、春园点心店，弄内设有忻安、忻康旅馆等，成为曹家渡地区吃、穿、住配套齐全，交通出行方便的大型居所。近20年来，经过几轮的社区改造和开发，在忻康里的原址上，建起了一个叫“鑫康苑”的居民小区：当年的弄堂被4幢高层建筑取代，而新名字则取自忻康里的谐音，不但使该处的历史文化得到传承，也体现此地欣欣向荣的新气象。
