In the 40s of the 19th century, a foreigner brought the camera to China, although the pixels of the camera were not clear at that time, but it was enough for us to see what the people of the Qing Dynasty looked like......
Do you think that in the Qing Dynasty, people were "expressionless"? Actually, it was just their discomfort with the camera, after all, some people would never take a picture in their lifetime, but if they were nobles, then "it would be counted separately".
In the picture, a woman is sitting in the arms of another woman, and from the expressions of the two people, we can see that the mood of these two people is actually "good".
Are the palace maids of the Qing Dynasty as "water and spirit" as in the TV series? In reality, this is not the case, the TV series is filmed like that in order to attract people to continue watching, and the real palace maids may not be as good as some ordinary people today.
At that time, people did not have paper cigarettes, and if they wanted to smoke, they had to use a cigarette stick, and then stuff the cigarette butt with tobacco and light it, and the person in the picture was not too low in social status at that time.
However, there is one thing in the TV series that is quite right, that is, the way the nobles travel, the picture is Cixi traveling, she is sitting comfortably in the sedan chair, surrounded by a group of people in Wuyang, from their clothes, it can be judged that they are all eunuchs.
Don't think that at that time, the poor didn't have dinners, no matter what time it was, socializing was an unavoidable problem, but at that time, the materials belonging to the poor were not rich.
So even if they have a dinner, there are not many good things to serve on the table, and for them, having meat is already quite good.
Looking at the dress of the woman and the child in the photo, it should be considered a proper rich person at that time, but there are not too many smiles on their faces, is it because they have not thought of something to be happy about?
Do you think cos is just a matter for young people? No, no, no, even Cixi cosed at that time, looking at Cixi's dress, she should have cos at that time was a bodhisattva, Cixi is worthy of being the queen mother, and someone who wants cos is specially used as a foil!
In feudal society, as long as they become officials, their status naturally begins to be "noble", and the treatment is naturally much better than that of ordinary people.
Look, not only do they have horses to ride, but some people deliberately hold up a shelter, for fear that this official will be sunburned or rained.
This photo is in stark contrast to the photo above, where several people are "skinny", and they seem to be very skilled at kneeling on the ground, and they don't know what kind of mistake they have made!
The women of the aristocracy have a meal, and the food they enjoy is "hearty", and while they are unhurried to taste the delicious food, they can also chat a few words, and the maid should be standing next to her.
Those two maids should be "doing things" for the master when the master needs it, but thinking about it, they are also people, but they are the masters, but they can only serve.
This woman's appearance was already very good in that era, and from her expression, we can guess that it should not be the first time she has taken photos, after all, her posture is very relaxed.
We can also see from her dress that she must have dressed up carefully before taking pictures.
It seems that at that time, no matter where Cixi was, she was surrounded by everyone, and her identity was already quite noble at that time.
And the identity of the person standing next to her should not be simple, if you look at it roughly, I feel that the first woman on the left in the picture is quite delicate, and her facial features are so durable when her hair is meticulous.
At first glance, this child's identity is not simple, it is estimated that with the help of his family, his future is not "smooth sailing", but there are many fewer setbacks and tribulations.
Don't look at the ancient officials, but their wives are "the right family", even if they have three wives and four concubines, hugging left and right, but they can't divorce their wives, unless "the teacher is famous".
The woman sitting on the left in the picture must be the official's wife, and it can indeed be seen from all aspects that the wife's status is not low.
In the past, ordinary people were running around for life all day long, even if he was not very old, he was tired and wrinkled early, and even so, they did not have enough money or food to fill their stomachs, and the old man on the way did not have a little flesh on his chest, only the ribs were clearly visible.
This family really looks alike, and it really responds to the sentence "not a family, not a family", this face is like a copy and paste.
The official in the picture is relatively petite, but his face is very mature, I think he is suffering from "dwarfism", the medical level at that time was limited, but even now with the development of science and technology, such a disease is still very tricky.
In the picture, the old man is holding a little boy and smiling happily, and I don't know if this child is his son or his grandson, because people in that era are generally older, what do you think?
In the homes of ordinary people, they are very keen on such things as raising chickens, after all, if chickens lay eggs, it is also an income.
Even if their chickens lay eggs, many people were still reluctant to eat them, because the grain production at that time was not high, and they could only live after hard work, and they would "save if they could".
"The children of poor families are in charge of the family early!" For many children from ordinary families at that time, reading was an unattainable thing, and they could only undertake part of the labor work of the family after having a certain amount of labor.
But for the rich and noble, it is different, they have enough social resources, as long as they want, sometimes they will come with their fingers, and they can also have enough time to calm down and learn Xi, or go out with their good friends to play.
