Speaking of the Republic of China period, many people think of the bright night life in Shanghai, but in fact, the lives of ordinary people are also very colorful.
Let's take a look at what the real life of the Republic of China looks like.
Behead the prisoner for public display
It's a simple stand made of three wooden sticks, and there's a cage on it, and there's a lot of people watching from it.
In fact, the cage contained a human head! The sign next to it said he had made a mistake.
Although the punishment of beheading was abolished in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, there were still some places where the beheadings were displayed to the public to deter the people.
Familiar Manchu woman
A Manchu woman is walking on the road with her child, and the two of them are still holding green plants in their hands.
Street shaving
The street shaver is shaving his customers' hair with his own shaving props, which look very rudimentary.
When the Qing government issued a shaving order, many people were forced to shave their hair, and if they dared to resist, they would be beheaded.
At that time, the shaving order was forcibly promoted, and the people accepted the shaving in order to survive.
Manure diggers
The man leaned leisurely on his donkey cart, which was full of dung.
It is known that manure is good for crop growth and although it stinks, it is also a lucrative job.
Therefore, these excrement diggers will go to each house to collect manure and send it to the manure field to obtain a certain profit.
Self-directed boys
During the Republic of China, in a desolate place outside Tianjin, a man hanged himself, and there was a group of onlookers next to him.
The police who received the report rushed to the scene and are following up on the case.
I don't know what this man has gone through, so he can't think about it.
Wedding photos of the Republic of China
This is a wedding photo taken during the Republic of China, and the husband and wife in the photo are obviously very young.
They are dressed in gorgeous clothes and stand in front of the camera, with flowers on their chests and the bride still wrapped her feet.
But after watching it for a long time, I always feel that the scene is a little weird.
Take the kids to hunting
The man and his two children were near the city of Beijing, and judging by their outfits, they were supposed to go hunting.
At this time, a train next to them came and blocked their passage, and a foreigner on the train happened to take pictures of them with his camera.
However, it seems that the little girl next to her is very angry with the man's capture behavior.
Flatbed cart pushes people
This is a scene of life on the streets of Shanghai, where a boss who looks like a lot of weight sits on a flatbed truck, and a young man pushes him hard in the back.
When the photographer took this picture, the boss happened to look at it.
Girls with bound feet
In 1930, three little girls who looked very young were walking on the streets of Shanxi, dressed plainly and wearing headscarves, looking a little curious and nervous in front of the camera.
Looking further down, all three of them are wrapped in their little feet, and it is really distressing to think that they will have to endure this pain for the rest of their lives.
Stealing mother and daughter
On the dock during the Republic of China, a policeman tied a mother and daughter who were stealing things with a rope and wanted to take them to the police station.
There was a look of fear on their faces, and they didn't know what kind of punishment they were going to face.
Prey display
In 1932, five hunters hunted a leopard in the mountains, proudly showing off their achievements and placing their shotguns next to them.
At that time, the number of wild animals was still very large, and the hunters harvested a lot every day.
However, now the number of wild animals has dropped sharply, and many animals have been listed as national key protected animals and can no longer be killed at will.
Revolutionaries on display
In 1911, a revolutionary was unfortunately found in action, his shirt was stripped off and tied to a pillar, and a crowd of people gathered around to watch.
Judging by what these people were wearing, it should have been very cold at that time.
Playful kids
In the photo, three emaciated children are playing together.
One of the boys raised his right hand in the air, imitating the shape of a machete, grinned at the camera, and didn't know if he understood the meaning.
The bride with a basket on her head
In the photo, the entire head of a woman is buckled, and her face is completely invisible.
This is a picture taken in Fuzhou in 1931, the woman is the bride about to be married, and the hood on her head is called the "bridal hood", which must be uncovered by the groom himself.
A pig that suddenly enters the camera
A foreign doctor and a Chinese doctor were taking a commemorative photo at the entrance of the hospital, and a pig happened to run over to attract everyone's attention, which was really funny.
Hong Kong street of the Republic of China
During the Republic of China, Hong Kong looked very prosperous, with people coming and going on the streets, shops on both sides of the streets, and some vendors and coachmen, which looked particularly lively.
Man with a weapon
In front of a large hall in Kunming, two men in uniform stand in front of the main hall with a giant sword and a large sword.
It is said that these two weapons have great origins, one is the seven-star sword, and the other is the big sword used by Wu Sangui.
These two weapons don't seem to weigh much, and I don't know if they can wield them.
Write letters
During the Republic of China, there were many professions of writing letters, and at that time, there were still many people who were illiterate, and if they wanted to write letters, they could only find these full-time personnel to write on their behalf.
Snake training acrobatics
In 1930, a man performed acrobatics in the crowded streets, and the snake, which was very dangerous for ordinary people, was especially obedient in his hands.
The crowd next to him stared intently at his performance, and it could be seen that his performance was very successful and brought a lot of joy to the audience.
Monkey acrobatics
A monkey acrobat performs with his partner on the street, and it can be seen that this monkey is really very hardworking.
Ways to keep warm
In 1920, a family in Sichuan watched their children and chatted in front of their house.
At that time, it was a cold winter, and in order to keep warm, they found a way to put charcoal fire in a barrel and hang it on their waists to keep warm, which was still the wisdom of the common people.
But then again, the children of this family really look like a lot.
A humble life
In an ordinary family in Shaanxi, the owner is cooking on a fire in the yard, and there are some farm tools scattered next to it.
Seeing how dark the room was in the back, the living conditions of the people at that time were really simple.
Mr. Qi Baishi
This is the scene of Mr. Qi Baishi's leisurely afternoon tea at home.
Mr. Qi Baishi has painted countless famous paintings, and Chinese painting has been better inherited in his hands.
Easy disinfection
A man in overalls sprays disinfectant on the woman in front of him, which at the time was rudimentary.
Afraid that the child would inhale the powder, the woman lowered her head and shielded the child.
Republic of China food stalls
In front of a simple food stall on the street, several children were gathered.
Although you can't see what food is being cooked at this stall, it should be very delicious to see the eager eyes of the children.
At that time, there were relatively few types of snacks, and they were completely incomparable to today.
