In the TV series, the costumes of the Qing Dynasty and the spiritual outlook of the people are very eye-catching, and some people even want to go to the Qing Dynasty to see it, but is the real Qing Dynasty really like this?
In the photo, there is a newlywed couple, the newlyweds are not small, the woman is Zeng Guofan's youngest daughter Zeng Jifen, and the man is also from the famous Nie family - "Nie Jizhen", but the family of these two people is put together, or the woman's family is a little better!
The Old Summer Palace we see now is very dilapidated, but it was very magnificent at the beginning, and if the Old Summer Palace had not been destroyed, it would have become a famous "treasure" in the world.
The shape of the people in the photo is really unique, looking at the faces of the two, these two people must be very close, otherwise how could they even have the same meat on their stomachs?
The family took pictures together, as if they couldn't let go, the child shrunk his shoulders, leaning on the shoulder of the person on the right, and the old man in front was very calm, maybe this is the sediment brought by the years!
In this photo, Yuan Shikai is wearing armor, standing in the middle, and the two next to him should be his guards.
Since the Opium War, China has entered a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, many of the old systems have been challenged, among which the fate of the eunuchs is even more "precarious", after the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, Cixi fled, and some eunuchs were left in the palace, and they were also confused about the future.
This is a group photo of Tibetan officials, people and foreign friends in the late Qing Dynasty, from their dress, we can find out the foreign friend at a glance, the person on the far right should be holding his child.
Don't think that tooth extraction is only available now, it was also available in the late Qing Dynasty, but it seems that the dentists at that time did not look very professional! The tools at that time also looked too "violent", and they actually took the vice directly.
The person who had the tooth extracted had a calm face, the person whose tooth was extracted was full of pain, and the person behind him seemed to be able to feel the pain, and his face was hideous.
Although these children were "sitting upright" in front of the camera, the expressions on their faces "betrayed" them, and the children were also when their self-esteem was strong, they didn't wear shoes, and one of the children's feet was hidden behind them.
Camels were a necessary "tool" for feudal society to travel far away, and the people in the caravan would generally tie the camels together, so that the camels would not be "lost", and each camel would carry some goods on its back.
As for why camels and not horses or donkeys, it is because camels are much more hardy than they are.
I feel that this photo should have been taken a little later, because the building behind it is not much different from the current building, and the one in the sedan chair should be a big person.
How else to say that the rich people in ancient times lived well, because in all aspects of life, there were people to serve.
The marriage of ancient people was generally "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker", and many married couples actually did not have much "true feelings".
The bride in the photo bows her head shyly, and her hand is slightly holding the hand of the person next to her, as if in this way, she can bring infinite strength to herself.
The person sitting in the middle of the photo is really tall, he is just sitting, he is almost as tall as the person next to him, if he stands up, it is estimated that the whole picture will not be able to let him go, so it is reasonable to suspect that he is sitting because of this to be able to take a group photo.
On the streets at that time, there were a lot of rickshaw pullers, these people leaned on their legs, to send their guests to their destinations, after arriving at the destination, rickshaw drivers would charge a certain fee, and when they met some more generous people, they would also give them some tips.
In the photo, a rickshaw driver pulls a noblewoman, who may have been running for a while, and the rickshaw driver goes to the water tank on the side of the road and starts scooping water to drink.
What were the Mongols like a hundred years ago? I can see this in the photograph taken in 1906 on the banks of the Ili River, where they lived behind them, but there is one thing that is really enviable, and that is the volume of their hair.
For modern people, hair is always "gone" after reaching a certain age, and it feels like their hair can top four or five people now.
I have to say that the hairstyle of the Qing Dynasty is really unfriendly to appearance, a good little girl, after combing this hair, half of her head is hairless, is it because they think it is more beautiful?
The woman in the photograph is a concubine from the late Qing Dynasty, holding a fan in front of her in an "elegant posture", and the person in the back is the concubine's maid, and they are leisurely strolling in the small garden.
This photo vividly illustrates how lively the streets were in the late Qing Dynasty, the number of camels is not small, but they have no goods on them, and the people next to them are also squatting on the ground and starting to rest, so it is very likely that they have just finished unloading.
The woman in the photo is very clear, even the pores on her face are clearly visible, her face is "not powdered", showing the most rustic beauty, she carries her child behind her, she strokes her lips, and looks longingly at a place, probably because she wants something, but "shy in her pocket".
It turns out that at that time, there were already breakfast sellers on the street, and in the baskets were fried dough sticks, and some other pasta, and there were stall owners sitting in front of the stalls, surrounded by some people who wanted to buy meals, and I have to say that there were really many people who wanted to buy this shop.
This photo is a little incomprehensible, like moving, but if you move, shouldn't there be a lot of things? In the photo, there is also a man sitting in the basket, and it feels like everyone in the photo is serving the man sitting in the basket.
The previous stone carvings were really exquisite, and it must have taken a lot of effort to carve the hard stone into shape, plus the patterns on the body.
The person who was sitting was probably feeling a little uncomfortable, and the worker who was squatting was giving him medicine, because in the past, the poor people's illnesses were very "fatal" because they simply did not have a lot of money to treat themselves.
Therefore, the people at the bottom sometimes believe in some "home remedies", although sometimes it does not work, but it can be regarded as giving them a certain amount of comfort.
