When did our country start to have traffic police? Not many people should know.
In fact, as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, China had already set up a traffic administrator, then called "Ye Lu", whose duty was to ensure the smooth flow of official roads in the capital. But the traffic police with modern characteristics can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty, when the Qing Dynasty was forced to open the door of the country under the strong guns of foreigners, and many foreign forces and cultures began to enter our country, which also forced the Qing court to accept a lot of Western systems, in order to manage more and more vehicles, modern traffic police began to appear, and it was commonplace in the Republic of China, as shown in the following figure.
As early as 1901, cars were successively introduced to China, and in 1902, in the face of increasingly congested streets, the Qing court began to create an industrial patrol bureau in Beijing, which imitated the Western police system and used the method of patrol police and traffic police standing guard in sections to manage local security and traffic. First of all, it was piloted in the inner city of Beijing, and in 1903, a traffic police was set up in Tianjin to manage the order of vehicles, and in September 1905, it began to be promoted in the outer city of Beijing and the major cities of each province, encouraging the provinces to set up proprietary yamen, with the overall rate of capital, and upgrading the Industrial And Inspection Bureau to the Patrol Police Department.
And set up a Shangshu person, the first Shangshu was the later President of the Republic of China Xu Shichang, another left and right waiter 1 person each, left and right Beggar 1 person each, since then the traffic police with modern characteristics have officially appeared in China's modern history. The picture above shows the traffic police on duty on the streets of Hangzhou in 1929, and they also have a "Watch out for cars" sign on their heads.
This picture is an old photo of the command of Japanese vehicles, although the later generations of the Republic of China period of the history of the slaughter of people is not optimistic, but also have to say that the traffic police in the picture of the heroic posture, leather shoes polished, uniform straight, this set of lines in that era can also be called the spirit of life, no wonder many netizens think that the Chinese traffic police in command of Japanese vehicles are very windy, because in that poor and backward era, can wear such clothing is really a very windy existence, enough to attract a lot of eyeballs.
As an early port city of commerce, Shanghai had already built urban roads in the late Qing Dynasty, and in 1908, Shanghai opened a city tram. In the Republic of China period, with the vigorous development of Shanghai's economy, there were more and more vehicles on the street, and in 1927 and 1929, Shanghai began to introduce the "Shanghai Rules for the Management of Automobile Drivers" and the regulations for obtaining drivers' licenses, so the establishment of the traffic police system was accompanied by an increasing number of vehicles.
In 1934, the Ministry of the Interior also issued the "Rules for the Administration of Land Traffic", which formulated rules for the management of automobile license plates and driver's licenses in every detail, and stipulated that whether it was a rickshaw, a car, a large vehicle or a mule car, it must have a driver's license, the mule car must also indicate the color of the mule, and the co-driver of the car must also have a driver's license, which is a bit strange but it is also a historical fact at that time.
It can be said that whether it is the Patrol Police Department established by the Qing Dynasty or the various regulations and systems promulgated during the Republic of China period, it shows that with the development of the times, China has taken another step on the road of learning from the excellent Management System of the West, which is the beginning of learning and the progress of the times. So in these old photos, do you also think that the traffic police in the photo of the Japanese vehicle directing the Japanese vehicle are very windy?
