Gulin, aka. Huangulin, used to be called Huanggonglin (i.e., Huang's Lodge). Huang Shigong, a teacher of Zhang Liang (a great strategist in the Western Han Dynasty), spent his later years in Gulin street where he dedicated himself to curing local patients. A temple erected by later generations in honor of him was named Huanggonglin Temple. That's how this street got its current name.
