Four large buffalo soaked in water. In the past, cattle were an important tool for farming, and cattle were used for farmland cultivation, and cattle used to have a very important position in the hearts of farmers. Herding cattle and mowing grass are the unique memories of many children who grew up in the countryside.
Two men carrying tied baskets on the back of a small donkey. The two baskets were packed to the brim, and the contents looked like large turnips. These radishes should be transported to the market, relying on this subsidy point for household use.
People eating in the corner. This way of squatting to eat, in the previous countryside is very common, before the lack of information, entertainment activities are not much, take advantage of the time to eat, neighbors with rice bowls squatting together, so while eating, while nagging homely.
Carriage under the city gates. Horse-drawn carriages passed by here one after another, so it seemed that it was also possible to get stuck in traffic in the city at that time. At that time, in addition to horse-drawn carriages, people's means of transportation were palanquins, donkey carts, mule carts, rickshaws, trolleys, and trains.
A wet market in the late Qing Dynasty. It's really lively here, and it's full of people. The stack of vegetables placed in front of the stall is very eye-catching, such vegetables are also sought-after goods if they are placed now, and you should know that these are all-natural, pollution-free vegetables, green vegetables without fertilizers and pesticides.
Seventeen-hole bridge of the Summer Palace. There was a small eunuch crouching by the lake, and several eunuchs on the lake were rowing a small wooden boat to patrol. The man sitting on the shore did not know what kind of identity, in this royal garden, he sat here so leisurely and enjoyed the scenery.
Three men eat at a restaurant. There was a dish on the table, and the eyes of the three people were all fixed on the dish, as if they were afraid that if they were slow to start, the dish would be eaten. These three, looking at their clothing, did not look like poor people, but they did not know why the two men on the left and the right were barefoot.
Foreigners dressed in Qing court costumes.

Group photo of the flag family of three. The dress of this family of three, at first glance, is the upper class at that time, in the Qing Dynasty, the status of the flag people is very high, they enjoy a lot of privileges.

The one at the front of this old photo is Li Lianying. His appearance is very different from what we see in some film and television dramas. The real Li Lianying had an ugly appearance and fierce eyes, but such a person was very much valued by Empress Dowager Cixi. Li Lianying served Empress Dowager Cixi for more than fifty years, and was deeply favored by Empress Dowager Cixi, and for this eunuch, Empress Dowager Cixi violated the Imperial Ancestral System of the Qing Dynasty, "the rank of eunuchs is limited to four products", and made Li Lianying the chief eunuch of Zheng Erpin, commanding all eunuchs in the palace.
