The world's earliest cities for workers' uprisings, hundreds of years before Europe, are now untouched
France has always been called a romantic country, and its capital, Paris, is known as the capital of romance. But now Paris has no romantic past, only anger, sadness, and violence. Because of France's internal problems, a workers' uprising is now being held in Paris.
The world's earliest workers' uprisings also occurred in France, where workers in Lyon, France, in 1831 and 1834, launched two armed uprisings against capitalist exploitation and oppression. This is the revolt of the proletariat against the capitalist class and the enlightenment of the european workers' consciousness of resistance. We all know that the workers' movement in Europe was the first to appear, and this is all the content that appeared in the history books on Baidu Encyclopedia.
In fact, when it comes to the outbreak of workers' uprisings in the world, the earliest cities are actually in China.
There was a small city in Chongqing, China, and the world's earliest workers' uprising, more than hundreds of years before Europe, but now the city is unpopular.
What kind of city will erupt into a workers' uprising? Of course, it is a very prosperous place that will break out a workers' uprising. If it is a small village with only more than 100 people, where will there be an industrial uprising?
With a history of more than 5,000 years, this city is one of the earliest salt-making areas in China, has the originator of the world's ancient sayings and the world's handicraft workshops, and is also the cradle of ancient human civilization in the Three Gorges region. Small partners should be very unfamiliar with this city, after all, now it is no one cares, it is Ningchang Ancient Town.
Ningchang Ancient Town, located near Wuxi County in Chongqing, has been a very prosperous salt industry since the pre-Qin Dynasty, and became one of the top ten salt capitals in China during the Fujian and Qing dynasties.
Because the salt industry here is very developed, in the history of the ancient town, there have been many outbreaks of stove revolts, in 1508 broke out the salt factory workers' sentiments, for five years, the number of workers' army reached 100,000 people, swept through the six provinces of the southwest region.
According to the time, this town is the place where the first workers' uprising occurred in the world, and you can see from this incident how prosperous the ancient town of Ningchang was.
Compared with the past, the current Ningchang Ancient Town is very depressed, and the economy has not only not kept up, but also gone down the road more and more, which is also a very helpless thing.
