Old photos of the Qing Dynasty: The person who learned martial arts was holding a dragon slaying sword, and 6 Huo Yuanjia really looked
Many people have the habit of collecting old photos, because old photos represent the memory of a period of time and can also touch a person's plot. What I want to share with you today is also a group of old photos, which are photos of the Qing Dynasty, and most people have not seen it.
The first is a photograph of a martial arts practitioner in the Qing Dynasty holding a dragon slaying knife.
As you can see from the photo, he is wearing a plain practice suit, and judging by age, he is about a middle-aged man. But his feet are very small, especially the feeling of wearing exercise shoes, and you can instantly feel the traces left by his years of practicing martial arts. In his hand was a dragon slaying sword, which seemed to be no different from the height of the man, I don't know if it was convenient when using it? Moreover, the man's serious expression must be a habit left over from years of martial arts training.
Second, there is a photograph of a Qing Dynasty man demonstrating his punishment.
During the Qing Dynasty, there were many very cruel punishments, and this man was asked by the photographer to demonstrate that he was punished. The photograph shows the man standing in the middle of the ladder, his two legs stepping on both ends of the ladder like a horse stride, his head drilling out of the gap above the ladder, and his hands being crossed together by ropes. At the time of execution, even the feet and other parts of the body are fixed, so that it is impossible to stand, crouch or sit down. Therefore, the pain suffered during the execution is secondary, and the physical inconvenience caused by this posture will make people particularly uncomfortable.
Third, a photograph taken in Beijing in 1902.
In this photo there are many homeless children who form a juggling class where they are practicing a juggling show. Several of the children are stacked on top of each other like stacked arhats, which is actually a deliberate pose for the photographer to take a picture as a souvenir.
Fourth, there is a photograph of a Qing Dynasty official going out.
When Qing Dynasty officials traveled, they had to take a palanquin carried by 4 people to show their identity. However, if you go out of Beijing, you can take a palanquin carried by 8 people, so in ancient times, the number of people carrying a palanquin on the street can identify the identity of a person. Although many people will mention the eight-lift car, in fact, there are not many people who can actually ride the eight-lift car.
Fifth, it is a picture of a rich and noble woman traveling in ancient times.
Most rich ladies do not walk when they go out, but use donkey carts or horse-drawn carriages. If it is a carriage, it can also be seen how good a person's family conditions are.
Sixth, it was a photo of Huo Yuanjia.
There are many film and television dramas about Huo Yuanjia that we have seen, but his true appearance is rarely known. In the photo, he is sitting on a chair wearing a plate, but it can also be seen that his long-term martial arts practice has caused his feet to be forced differently.
Do you know any of these photos?
