The Qing Dynasty has been extinct for more than a hundred years, and in this short period of time the world has undergone earth-shaking changes, and China has also changed from a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society to a prosperous new China today, although the history of the Qing Dynasty is not far away from us, but everyone sees the old photos of the late Qing Dynasty, it must be unimaginable.
At that time, our country was in the midst of internal and external troubles, social turmoil, and natural disasters and man-made disasters every three to five, the people's life is very difficult, in the agricultural society is originally relying on the sky to eat, so the natural disasters that cause famine are the most deadly, for the people the biggest dream of a lifetime is to eat a full meal.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the gap between the rich and the poor was still very large, and the lives of the rich and the poor were also very different, for the landlords and the old rich, they not only did not need to work and hard work, but also could eat and wear warmly, of course, all this was based on the exploitation of the poor people, so the people at the bottom hated them very much.
As the last feudal dynasty, the Qing Dynasty can be said to be the darkest and most backward dynasty in history, the social status of women is particularly low, although the Manchu Qing prohibited foot binding, but under the strict feudal etiquette oppression, Han women from childhood to tie their feet, if there is no pair of small feet, there is no way to marry a good family.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the vast majority of the people's lives were in a situation of lack of clothing and food, even in the Jiangnan region of the Qianlong period, which was already the richest place at that time, but ordinary people only had a complete piece of clothing at home, usually who went out who could wear it, and clothes were luxury goods for ordinary people.
