We have always been full of curiosity about the lives of the ancients, but because there were no cameras in that era, the scenery of the past can only be restored by scientific means.
However, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, Western cameras recorded many scenes on the mainland.
But the old photos of the late Qing Dynasty that you often see are black and white, and today I will take you to see what some old photos look like after restoring the true color through special means!
I have to say that it is still color photos that can give people a vivid feeling.
The young woman in the photo is actually a prostitute, and the man carrying her is called a "turtle slave".
The "turtle slave" is specially here to carry the Qinglou woman out to pick up guests, and they need to send the woman to the master's house, which is also a chore.
In ancient times, most of the women in Qinglou had to choose from poor families, and they were not too old, which is really pitiful!
Everyone knows that men in ancient times had three wives and four concubines, and this photo is obviously a photo of a son-in-law and his wife and concubine at home.
It can be seen that Brother Gongzi likes the woman on the right more and is very intimate with her movements, and this woman is even more unscrupulous to put her leg on her husband's leg.
And the one on the left is mostly a wife, so she can only put her hand on her husband's lap helplessly.
The woman in the photo who was tied to a stick probably made a big mistake.
Several strong men were about to carry her to the streets, which was a great shame for a woman.
It's just that no one knows, what exactly did she do to be punished like this?
Compared with our convenient water resources, in the late Qing Dynasty, we needed to draw water from wells and then pick it up at home for backup.
It can be seen that everyone's skin is tanned, and most of them are working under the hands of large families, or ordinary people.
Such a private school class where modern and ancient elements collide is a bit eye-catching, these people who can read are obviously children of rich families, and the environment for studying is many times better than that of some poor areas in modern times.
Sure enough, as long as you are rich, no matter which dynasty you are in, it will not be too difficult!
In ancient times, women regarded small feet as beautiful, so they began to bind their feet from birth.
But wrapping her feet for a long time has affected the normal life of a woman, and even walking is a pain, which can be described as difficult.
The two people in this photo are obviously women from large families and a small maid leading horses at home, and the biggest highlight in the photo is her slap-sized little feet.
If you just look at the upper body, this photo has a hint of warmth.
But looking down, their feet are smaller than a small one, and I don't know how much they have to suffer to get this "three-inch golden lotus"!
The bazaars of the late Qing Dynasty were a bit miserable, with vendors dressed in tattered clothes and buildings around them feeling a bit "crumbling".
In the late Qing Dynasty, opium was poisoning our people, and even women could not resist this great temptation.
The woman in the photo is cross-legged and smoking a shisha domineeringly.
The man on the side simply lay down and enjoyed the pleasure brought by smoking a big cigarette, but his complexion had become a little depressed.
No matter what era there are, there are people who perform acrobatics to survive, but just looking at the poorly dressed people in the photos still makes people feel a little sympathetic.
It can be seen that the people who sell their art to survive are some stinky children who have not dried up, and they can only give up their lives in order to live.
Can you believe it, in fact, in ancient times, there were also "taxis", but the role of cars carrying people was replaced by donkeys.
In this way, renting donkeys can earn an income to make a living, donkeys can be used to pull people and goods, in that era of inconvenient transportation, it is not easy to have such a way of traveling!
When you see this photo, what is the first thing that comes to your mind, is it a spiritual little girl?
Their postures look really domineering, especially the woman on the far right, with a fan on her chest, her face full of disdain.
In fact, they are Qinglou women, and women in the late Qing Dynasty were very conservative and would cover their necks tightly, but they prefers to open their necklines and exude their charm.
Everyone knows that the classic hairstyle of men in the Qing Dynasty is to comb braids, and in order to maintain this hairstyle with a bald head in front and pigtails in the back, they need to shave their hair every ten days and half a month.
For most people, they only wash their hair once when they shave their hair, and the smell of their hair is simply too "sour"!
The food stalls of the late Qing Dynasty look like they have a unique flavor, and the wooden snack carts made by hand look simple, but they have all the functions they should have.
The guests who bought snacks next to them had a happy smile after eating the delicious food.
The man looked old, skinny, but still had to do hard work.
In the late Qing Dynasty, there were many such burden-bearers, all of whom were people from the bottom, and they could only live hard in order to survive.
In the late Qing Dynasty, people from poor families could only ride donkeys if they wanted to go far away, although they could not run as fast as horses, but they could also save them a lot of time.
These were hunters in the Taiyuan area in the late Qing Dynasty, who often used shotguns or traps to catch game.
These game meats can not only feed the family, but also be sold for money.
For them, it's one of the ways to survive quickly.
This is a simple roadside tea stall, the price is very low, and thirsty people passing by can come here to drink a pot of tea.
Although the tea brewed by this vendor is the most ordinary, it can instantly eliminate irritability in the hot summer.
Do you think it's the workers tending to the garden?
In fact, this is a cultivated opium poppy, and there were not too many restrictions on the cultivation of opium poppy during the Qing Dynasty.
It is precisely because of such actions that the Qing Dynasty accelerated its "demise".
