Editor's note: It was previously introduced that in the Tang Dynasty, there was a part-time occupation of farmers, "crab husband", which was specially removed when crabs were flooded. It seems beautiful, but it's not. This article is for everyone to introduce.
The crab man is not beautiful
For the profession of crab man, it was very interesting at first, especially for us foodies, we can deal with crabs every day, steaming, boiling, frying, frying and frying can take turns to eat over and over again.

But really into that era, it wasn't necessarily fun to find out. In ancient times, farmers not only needed to farm, but also had to pay taxes and bear labor, and "crab man" was also a kind of labor, and we probably didn't get happy just hearing the word "labor".
Is the Republic of China a romantic era?
Tian Laojun also thought of the "warlord's aunt' wife" and "Yangzhou skinny horse" remarks that were relatively popular on the Internet for a while, and recently it seems that there are also famous prostitutes in Qinglou and the like.

Now everyone taking photos and videos will add one or several filters, under the filters, can be beautiful, can be black and white, can also have a sense of cinema.
Time is a bigger filter that can round the original edges and corners and soften the original cruel things.
The difference between adding filters
I don't know when it began, the Republic of China in our impression became a romantic era.
There are talents and beauties like Liang Sicheng Lin Huiyin, there are heroes like Xu Wenqiang and Feng Jingyao, and there are more warlord aunts and wives and famous ladies.

These are seen under the time filter, but this is obviously not all. In "The Age of Awakening", there is such a scene, the young Chairman Mao is walking on the street, seeing the little beggars who are naked, there are refugees who have fallen on the street, there are military police who are running amok, and this is still in the city. To the county town of rural areas, there are more miserable there.

Everyone loves to hear stories
So why are we gradually diluting this? The historian Braudel once proposed the "three-time theory", that is, from a historical perspective, there are three kinds of time: geographical time, social time, and individual time.
We are not researchers, we do not have an intuitive feeling about the era we have not experienced, we do not have an intuitive feeling of geographical time and social time, but we are very interested in the stories of historical figures, and we are fond of some wild history anecdotes, which often constitute our view of history.

When the handsome officer and exquisite aunt appeared on TV, people could not help but yearn for that time. Fortunately, now I have also begun to excavate some types of character stories in the past, such as Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian martyrs.
When we see many people commemorating them, it shows that their stories really touch our hearts, and fill in a puzzle on our historical concept map.

Tian Laojun is also happy to see more character stories excavated, not only the Republic of China, but also other dynasties, not only the stories of first- and second-tier cities, but also the stories of county towns, rural areas, the Great Northwest, and the border, not only the workplace elite, doctors and lawyers, but also the stories of rangers, sanitation workers, and fishermen.

The end of the era of grand narratives, the rise of the era of individual narratives.
========================
Hairy crabs are unique to our country and bear witness to our entire history of civilization.

Old Man Tian, Chinese crab!
