Dahe Daily·Yu Video Reporter Bai Zhoufeng
20 years ago, do you still remember the city figures and streets of Zhengzhou?
This is a set of Zhengzhou city street scene records 20 years ago (all photos in the article were taken in 2002). It was taken by a reporter from Dahebao when he was "sweeping the streets".
The so-called "street sweeping" is an online term, which means to capture interesting scenes on the street, also called street photography.
There was a business of "sweeping the streets" in the Song Dynasty. In the "Volume 2 Yuanxi" section of "Handle of Wulin HTML " by Song people Zhoumi , there is a last paragraph: By late at night, there is a person holding a small lamp to illuminate the road, which is called "sweeping the street". I often get it by sending a pendant and dropping an earring. It is also the legacy of Dongdu . It means that the Lantern Festival street is crowded with people, watching the lanterns and watching the moon, and it is so crowded that many people leave money bags or gold hairpins and pearl earrings. When the crowds dispersed, someone took the lights to pick them up on the street.
Sweeping the street is one of the daily tasks of photographers, which is to walk through the streets and alleys of the city with a camera and discover instant news and highlights in daily life.
Open the picture folder of 2002, and street scene images came into view. Some citizens sat on the ground on Greentown Square , some hair salons showed off their skills in the street, some supermarkets engaged in marketing people queued up to buy ribs, and some acrobats showed their talents in the street...
These pictures were just ordinary street scenes at the time, and now they might feel a bit strange. Let’s take a look together. If you have any insights, please leave a message:
