Xiaobian released a set of old photos for everyone, which recorded the real life scenes of the late Qing Dynasty, and several of them directly poked at our hearts.
Civilian and military officials pose with foreigners.
The middle seat is the civilian official Liu Runtong, and the right seat is the military attaché Yang Jinbang. Behind them stood a group of soldiers, holding large knives, forks and other blades. After 1861, the Qing army (including the Xianghuai Army) began to equip new weapons such as fast guns and fast guns, but the scope of the real transformation was limited, and most of the Qing troops were backward in equipment and still used cold weapons.
Wear a shackle to show the public.
This photograph, taken by British photographer William Sanders in Shanghai around 1870, shows two people hired by Sanders as models, simulating a scene of a public display, with the one on the right still having a rabbit lip. Recently, a number of self-media authors have labeled this photo as "Yang Naiwu and a small cabbage", which is simply nonsense.
Miscellaneous servants employed by foreign embassies.
In the late Qing Dynasty, working for foreigners was a risky job, often looked down upon by compatriots, called "ermaozi", and even besieged. Of course, these people have their backs to the "foreign masters" and may also do some foxy and false tiger power to bully the common people.
Soldiers of the Huayong Battalion are training.
The Huayong Battalion, also known as the First Chinese Regiment, was a mercenary recruited locally after the British invaded Weihai. In 1900, the Huayong Battalion went north with the British army to participate in the invasion of China by the Eight-Power Alliance, and it was a notorious "traitorous unit" in the mouth of the common people. The reason why they risked the world to fight for the British army was only for 8 taels of silver per month.
Flag woman wearing thick-soled shoes.
The shoes worn by this woman are "flower pot bottom" shoes, which are commonly worn by young and middle-aged women in the Eight Flags, and their soles are generally 5-15 cm high, and the highest can reach about 25 cm, similar to today's "hate sky high".
In 1901, Eight-Power Soldiers embraced women.
After the "Gengzi Rebellion", the Eight-Nation Alliance occupied Beijing, the Qing army scattered and fled, and Empress Dowager Cixi took refuge in Xi'an. The coalition forces raped and plundered in Beijing, and did no evil, this photo is a microcosm. You know, in that atmosphere of the times, a strange man hugging a woman and taking pictures is a great shame for her, which is equivalent to insulting her name.
Poor people squeeze in corners to smoke opium.
Seeing this photo, it is inevitable that people will send out the feeling of "mourning their misfortune and angering them". The people in the photographs are hungry, ill-dressed, and may not even have shelter from the wind and rain, but they still spend their meagre money on opium.
Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangguang.
Liu Kunyi was a general in the Xiang Army, who was promoted for military merit and was promoted rapidly. At the age of 33, he was promoted to envoy of Guangxi, and at the age of 35, he was promoted to inspector of Jiangxi. At the age of 45, he became the Governor of Liangjiang, and since then he has repeatedly moved in the governorship of Liangjiang and the governor of Liangguang. He was very interested in the foreign affairs movement, and asked the imperial court to change the law, and put forward ideas such as promoting learning and cultivating talents, rectifying the government and government, and adopting the Western law.
Zhang Zhidong, Wei Guangtao and other dignitaries and dignitaries took a group photo.
The photo was taken in 1904, Zhang Zhidong went to Nanjing on a business trip, and had this extremely rare group photo with a number of leading figures. At that time, Zhang Zhidong was the governor of Huguang, Wei Guangtao was the governor of Liangjiang, Sheng Xuanhuai was appointed as the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, and others also held important official positions. Only Zhang Xiao hung up the official title of Sanpin, there was no real job, he was busy setting up factories, schools and other undertakings.
A "family portrait" of a family.
Looking at their attire, it is not a family of great wealth and nobility, and even the clothes of several children are dirty and torn. It is not easy for them to take a "family portrait" and pass it down.
