Prosperous China, together to the future! You can look back a hundred years ago, "the end of the song is scattered in the twilight, a low head, a look back, empty tears a thousand lines"! Wrapped in small feet, yin and yang heads, large braids, a series of heart-wrenching historical images, frozen by the camera, reproducing the real people and events of the late Qing Dynasty. The comparison between the present and the past is shocking, and a hundred years is really a vicissitude.
Foot binding has been passed down in history for thousands of years, and it was the peak of the Qing Dynasty. From dignitaries to poor people, women, in order to please men, wrapped their feet to the extreme, and called them "three inches of golden lotus". But the sharp pain when wrapping the foot has also become a nightmare that women can't look back on, the toes are pressed to the center of the foot, and the heel and toes are arched, which makes people shudder when they look at it. More than a hundred years ago, the Chinese people walked trembling and majestic, where is the Qing Palace drama like running all over the street?
Beggars begging for food, hungry people everywhere under natural and man-made disasters. In the feudal era, "Zhumen wine smells of flesh, and the road has frozen bones", and daqing is no exception. The "prosperous era of Kangqian" is far away, and during the reign of Cixi, internal and external troubles, natural and man-made disasters, and the people's lives were miserable. During the Guangxu years, the Ding Pengqi Desert forced people to a dead end.
The poor people who have left their homes are dragging their families with their mouths. Droughts, floods, locust plagues, and snow plagues were staged in turn for four years, starving to death tens of millions of people. The disaster relief of the imperial court was a cup of water and a salary, to no avail, and could only leave the country to beg and live like a year.
Father and son were smoking a big cigarette, one person and one smoking gun, no spirit, not speculative more than half a sentence. In the late Qing Dynasty, opium was out of control, and in addition to the dumping of Western powers, the Qing court encouraged its cultivation. "Planting poppies and taking pulp to boil smoke is ten times more profitable than planting rice." Opium was eaten as grain, and the scene at that time could be imagined, there were many smoke houses, and smoking bans became a blank piece of paper.
How spectacular the walls of old Beijing are, just look at this photo. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a fierce debate about the walls of Beijing, which was finally demolished, and Liang Sicheng and Lin Hui at that time cried bitterly. Nowadays, you can only see its majesty in old photos. From the photos, you can see the dried up moat, which has been reclaimed and planted with crops.
The old general who carried feathers and arrows on his shoulders was dressed in armor, not tall but also majestic. His name was Su Yuanchun, a general of the late Qing Dynasty and an official to the viceroy. He once helped Feng Zicai defeat the French army and can be described as a national hero. With the arrival of hot weapons, arrows are still sharp arrows, bows are still strong bows, but in the end they can no longer do foreign guns and cannons.
A prisoner at the end of the Qing Dynasty should be a felon in prison. Wearing wooden shackles and chains on his feet, it is really difficult to escape with wings. Facing the camera, the prisoner was also fearless. The official who was sitting precariously could not see any official position, and the official authority was average. However, the canopy and the guards behind him gave him confidence, even the Nine Pin Sesame Officer was also a person with the power of life and death in the local area.
The Qing soldiers, who were captured by the Japanese army in the Sino-Japanese War, knelt on the ground and made the Japanese army swollen with blue noses and swollen eyes. The former Eight Banner Soldiers were brave and good at war, but later they were overwhelmed. The Green Battalion soldiers were also hanging Er Lang Dang, vulnerable to a blow, even Li Hongzhang's Beiyang Fleet could not escape the destruction.
After An Dehai was killed, Li Lianying, the second in command, became the most popular eunuch on Cixi's side. The real Li Lianying is not as handsome as in the film and television drama, and her face is like a crown jade. On the contrary, the hemp on his face was clearly visible, and he had age spots on his face just after middle age. Why such a fierce-looking person can be appreciated by Cixi, in addition to his combing his hair, the emotional intelligence is also extremely high. He did not have the same high profile as Andehai, flying high," but "respect in things, leniency in things, if there is a year, do not try to slacken off." ”
Parked outside the Gate of the Summer Palace East Palace, such photos are rare to see. It should be that the members of the royal family should seek western medical treatment, or it may be the joint soldiers stationed in the Summer Palace.
The scene of a mother and son begging for food with a dog stick and a child in the mother's arms crying out of hunger is too heart-wrenching. Look at the world in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, as if in another world. The long history always makes people feel heavy, and the rise and fall of honor and disgrace must not be forgotten.
