The decline of the Qing Dynasty actually began since the late Qianlong period.
After the Jiaqing Dynasty, by the Daoguang Years, the Qing Dynasty, known as the "Heavenly Dynasty and the Kingdom of Heaven", had everything in a state of disintegration. Internal and external troubles, the emperor-eaters sat and watched the dynasty decay day by day, but no one dared to stand up and say a word, they just watched silently, waiting for the Qing Dynasty to go to the end of the road.??
In the Yuan poem, it is written that xing, the people suffer; death, the people suffer.??
With the collapse of the Empire State Building, the faces of the people under the camera let posterity hear a song of apocalyptic sadness with broken intestines.??
Street vendors.??
Nowadays called a freelancer, a torn shirt, not even a pair of shoes, wearing a battered oil-paper umbrella, carrying a basket in his hand, this is the representative image of small traders in the late Qing Dynasty.??
Walking the streets and alleys, but not wearing clothes, we can see how far the Chinese people in the late Qing Dynasty were not happy. ???
Walk the rivers and lakes.?
?
Now called a migrant worker, he carries all his belongings on his shoulders and relies on doing some manual work to make a living. In China at the end of the Qing Dynasty, internal and external troubles, the people were displaced, many people often had no place to live, carrying bags to walk the streets and alleys, looking for livelihood.
But under the war and chaos of the Qing Dynasty, hundreds of industries withered, where is it easy to find a place to shelter from the rain, find a job to eat???
porter.
??
There are still many of these, especially in some scenic spots that cannot be reached by vehicles, such occupations are still thriving, and the people involved in the labor are no different from the people in the photos.
Their general characteristics, illiteracy, no skill, can only rely on physical strength to support the family.??
handicapped.??
From ancient times to the present, the disabled are vulnerable groups, and if they encounter chaos, their lives will be even more miserable.??
The man who lost his feet, living in a tent made of straw and covered with a mat underneath, is his home, such a living environment, I don't know how he survived.??
Of course, there is no worst but more tragic, he fell so bad that he can still live, how many people are afraid that they will not even save their lives.??
This photo actually reveals a message.??
We know that the Qing Dynasty pursued the policy of leaving no hair and no hair, but the man's hairstyle in the photo was not shaved into "yin and yang head before and after". It can be seen that at the end of the dynasty, many ordinances have become empty talk.??
Healing man.??
Chinese medicine has a long history, but in fact, the poor in China for thousands of years have been in a state of "small diseases rely on carrying, major diseases and so on". Although there are reasons limited by medical conditions, in the final analysis, ancient medicine is to serve the powerful, and the poor can basically only rely on the casual fooling between the jianghu langs when they get sick.
The man in the photo is being treated by a traveling doctor, and the body is smeared with an unknown amount of material, mainly for pain relief.??
Pick wood boys.
The boy in the photo is about ten years old, but he has to take on the burden of supporting his family. In terms of socialization, firewood is also a commodity, poor families are reluctant to use firewood to burn hot water to drink, chopped firewood is often transported to the market to sell, just to be able to exchange some food.??
Some people may not be sad to see this scene, but in fact, in the Qing Dynasty, the daily life of these people in the photos is very ordinary.??
Ordinary chinese people have lived a good life in the last thirty or forty years. In the thousands of years before this, most of the time was hungry, and I talked about reading, writing, bathing, and seeing a doctor...??
Cherish the present, it is really not easy to come by. (Lu Abandoned)
