Organize more than a dozen photos of the late Qing dynasty to reproduce the historical scenes of that time. After the later coloring, rise and fall, glory and disgrace, the market is full of variety, all laughing. "Thinking of the past, prosperous competition, sighing outside the door, sorrow and hatred continue. Through the ages, with this high, honor and disgrace"!
The Qing dynasty ruled by Cixi was stormy, and the poor people were particularly helpless in the midst of internal and external troubles. The scene in front of me is heart-wrenching, the father and son who have left their homeland are begging for food, the father is squatting on the ground, and the basket is still carrying a basket on his shoulder, and the children in the basket are hungry and eager to wear it.
Che Ma from Zhoushan, Ningbo, standing on a chair, is no more than 70 centimeters tall. As an actor in the American circus, even the dwarf's life has changed. Although he was not good-looking, he accumulated a huge fortune in the United States, and successively found two American women as wives, and he died at the age of ninety.
A woman with a bright smile, this was indeed a clear stream in the late Qing Dynasty. Many people are wooden when taking photos, restrained, and not smiling. The woman accidentally broke her leg while picking, and the Western doctor operated on her and recovered a few months later. This was incredible in the eyes of the Chinese people at that time, and naturally it was ecstatic!
The wife and maid of the rich family, both of them are beautiful. The wife sat in the courtyard, graceful and luxurious, and there was a tall hookah on the coffee table next to it, which was the standard for rich people at that time. The maid came from the dowry, she is still young, and she may one day become the concubine of the master!
A soldier wielding a sword is taller than a human, and it takes strength to be able to play easily. This is Yunnan's "Dafa Energy Consul Mission", and the big knife is a weapon used by Wu Sangui back then, weighing more than 20 catties. I wonder if such a weapon can dance on the battlefield?
A group of eunuchs who were eating a big meal, the table was full of delicacies, it seemed that the food was good! There are old eunuchs who have been in the palace for many years, and there are also those who have just entered the palace. They actually sat together and took a group photo, which is the only photo left in the world.
Eunuchs have been looked down upon from ancient times to the present, and many people have also been forced to become father-in-law for their livelihood. The dictatorship of eunuchs has appeared in successive dynasties, and the Qing Dynasty strictly restricted eunuchs, but Li Lianying was still broken by Cixi to break the ancestral official residence and the second grade, and the power fell to the opposition.
A porcelain artist who is handmaking porcelain looks like a rune is drawn on it. The braids of each person are very conspicuous, and the production room is also full of dazzling. Are standing men cleaning?
A family of three living in a cemetery is a difficult world, and the people who have no fixed place to live are surviving. It's already good to be able to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain, who cares about anything else.
A group photo of the landlord's house, Liu Jiading Xu's family. The poor are not clothed, the rich are dressed. Brick house, big family, servants holding children. On the side is her concubine, who looks twisted and pinched.
Li Hongzhang, who was sitting on the Imperial Master's chair, no longer had any spirit. At that time, he was once again entrusted with the important task of Cixi and traveled thousands of miles into Beijing to negotiate with foreigners. He was already ill when he arrived in Tianjin.
For Li Hongzhang, when the Gengzi incident occurred, he always advocated "mutual protection in the southeast". From Tianjin to Beijing, Li Hongzhang is difficult to describe even if he has a thousand words, he can only become a backpot man again, and he vomited blood and died after the "Xin Ugly Treaty"!
After 1901, the noon gate, barren grass, already appeared quite dilapidated. This is a photo taken by the Japanese Kazuma Ogawa following the Japanese army invading China, when the noon gate was occupied by the US army. As a special door for the emperor, I didn't expect it to become a place for Westerners to visit and hunt. You can see the wall skin peeling off, and the imperial authority is completely lost!
