This is the real Qing Dynasty, a rare photograph taken by the Frenchman Albert Kahn in 1909
Qing court dramas and palace fighting dramas are very popular, which makes many young people mislead, thinking that the Qing Dynasty people in history are like those in TV dramas.
It's just that the TV series are all fictional (if there are similarities are purely coincidental), the real Qing Dynasty people don't look like that at all. In the late Qing Dynasty, foreign photography had already entered China.
In those days, there was a Frenchman named Albert Kahn, who was very wealthy and loved photography. Suddenly, one day, he had a big ambition to create a colorful "Earth Archive".
In 1909, a beautiful girl in the late Qing Dynasty, her bound feet made people feel distressed
In 1909, Kahn finally arrived in the ancient civilization of the East, when China was still under the Qing Dynasty. At that time, Cixi had just died, and the young Pu Yi had just ascended the throne.
Now, let's take a look at what the real "Qing Dynasty people" look like in the lens of the Frenchman Kahn? It should be noted that this is a real color photo, not a later color.
This is the real Qing Dynasty man, an old farmer selling dim sum in the fields. His face was battered with vicissitudes and looked at foreign photographers curiously.
In 1909, China was in the late Qing Dynasty. The mountains and rivers of the Li River in Guilin are so beautiful, but there is not even a single tourist, only local farmers who fish.
This is the high-ranking officials and nobles in the late Qing Dynasty, and they are not like in the TV series, they are all Gege and Brother. The TV series are all made by later generations, not the real historical scenes.
During the Qing Dynasty, plastic products had not yet entered China, and people at that time used these jars and jars in their daily lives.
In ancient times when the Qing Dynasty was still earlier, there were many ancestral halls and temples in the city and countryside, which were the clan beliefs of many ordinary people. Even if he is a rogue thief, when he enters the ancestral temple, he is respectful and does not dare to make a mistake.
This is the real city streets of the Qing Dynasty, and the TV series are fake, they were all filmed in the film and television city, not historical facts.
This is the Ming Tombs on the outskirts of Beijing, which was not a tourist attraction at that time, and there were no tourists. Those two men were local farmers, and they couldn't imagine that this would become an attraction in the future.
In 1909, feudal society had not yet withdrawn from the stage of history, and ordinary people at that time were still wearing robes. At that time, people were relatively thin, and there was no big fat man.
The bell and drum tower of old Beijing, which was originally like this in 1909, has changed a lot, as if it was a world away!
The beggars in the martial arts TV series are all fake, and they don't exist in history! The children in this photo are similar to beggars, and everyone was very poor in those days.
This young man of the Qing Dynasty was dressed in patches. However, although he had a very poor life, his eyes were bright, and he was not as depressed as the opium smokers of that era.
The above is the French, China recorded with a professional camera in 1909. Everyone must remember: The palace fight drama is fake! After reading this batch of rare photos, I believe everyone has the answer in their hearts about what the "Qing Dynasty people" look like!
