The scene of two men smoking big smoke in the late Qing Dynasty. Although they were not old, they were deeply involved in it. The smoking posture was so sophisticated that they were already useless. Opium can be said to be a sad thing for the Qing Dynasty people. The two Opium Wars made the Qing government unable to make ends meet. On the one hand, smoking is banned with great fanfare, and on the other hand, it encourages the cultivation of large smoke. It eventually turned into a dead end, shaking the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.
In the late Qing Dynasty, beggars basking in the sun in front of a deserted earthen house. While resting, one was catching lice for another with great interest. The two of them were dressed in disguise and bad but they were both sick. The society in the late Qing Dynasty was dark, the people were living in poverty, and the people lived in poverty. During the disaster year, people go out to beg for food in groups. As for personal hygiene, they are not so particular. They get together and catch lice becomes fun. I know the concentration in the picture!
Real photos of the people of the Qing Dynasty. When the Western Industrial Revolution was developing rapidly, the Qing Dynasty was still in the "Celestial Kingdom". People's lives are difficult and displaced. They rarely see smiles in photos, but their faces are full of miserable and helpless.
Parents-in-law and her daughter-in-law saw her brows dancing in front of the camera, her smug expression was visible at a glance. From ancient times to the present, the most difficult thing is the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. In ancient times, the hierarchy was very strict. In front of parents-in-law, we should be etiquette and understand filial piety and brotherly love. Just like the daughter-in-law in the picture, she can only stand with her child in her arms. The parents-in-law of wealthy families is not very difficult to serve, but it is up to the daughter-in-law to see that the children are all their affairs.
Children begging for food on the street, barefoot and uncovered. On my sister's back, my younger brother was so hungry that he was dizzy. Natural disasters and man-made disasters have long been destroyed. You can feel the difficulty of life through the screen, which is heartbreaking.
Two poor people were smoking big cigarettes, and their feet were not washed, so they ran to the kang to smoke a bag first. Another addicted to smoking, with a painful expression. At the beginning, the price of opium remained high, but later the Qing government promoted opium cultivation, and within a few years it actually produced and sold itself. The price became a bargain, which led to poor people being able to afford it, which enveloped the entire dynasty in the smoke.
The coolie who is looking for a job is weathered on his face. In the "land enclosure movement" in the early Qing Dynasty, the people had almost no land to plant, and more people could only rent land to plant, which was exploited by landlords and gentry. Even by the late Qing Dynasty, agricultural productivity did not change significantly, and the same was true for income. However, the price level has been rising, and it is good to be able to fill your stomach.
An exquisite sedan chair, both the curtain and the top of the sedan chair are very gorgeous, and are even more classy than the sedan chair in film and television dramas. Even if the official sedan chair is seen, it can be given priority to pass. It is estimated that this sedan chair is a wealthy family who have married a wife, but as for taking concubines, it is not so particular.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the three children went out to work with their mothers. The children still hold shovels in their hands, and the poor children are already in their homes. The clothes I wear are patched everywhere, and I can’t afford to wear straw sandals, so I can only barefoot. At that time, the people had a difficult life and the labor service was heavy. The school was just an uncontrollable dream for the poor children. In the photos at that time, it was rare to see people smiling on their faces.
People who have leprosy have the palms and soles of their feet, but they don’t know how terrible this disease is. Already isolated, what awaits them is self-destruction. At that time, the medical conditions were very poor, and if you had this disease, you could only take one shelter, and you would cut off contact, which led to a tragic situation.
