The old society was inaccessible, how did people get around?
In the old Beiping, people relied on horse-drawn carts and donkey carts to get around, and although the speed was slow, they were comfortable and did not get motion sickness. At that time, the army was in chaos, the people's life was difficult, and science and technology were relatively backward.
The people of that time are now ** ten years old, and they have witnessed the change of means of transportation. The buses, subways, airplanes, and private cars used by modern people were unimaginable in those days.
Many young people don't understand how to get around in those days. Although people at that time did not have as many business trips as modern people, and there were not as many white-collar office workers, there were still some people who had big ambitions and traveled all over the country when they were young.
Now let's take a look at some precious old ** and see how people in the "old society" did not have cars and traveled.
In 1937, a new type of transportation such as three-wheeled bicycles began to appear in Beiping, which was not only faster than traditional rickshaws, but also more comfortable for passengers.
In Guangzhou, a large southern city, the water network is well developed, and people can easily travel by boat.
The Yellow River is the mother river of China and the symbol of Lanzhou. In Lanzhou in 1933, people invented a tool called the "hollow sheepskin bag", which could help people swim across the Yellow River conveniently.
When there are many people, these "hollow sheepskin bags" can also be connected to make sheepskin rafts, which are more convenient than boats. At that time, there were no bridges over the Yellow River, so people crossed the Yellow River in this way, showing the wisdom and courage of human beings.
In Tianjin in 1926, rickshaws were the main means of transportation, but ordinary people could hardly afford their high costs, and they were mainly used by foreigners and the wealthy in China.
In a bygone era, bicycles were seen as a rarity, but in some big cities, a small percentage of wealthy families were still able to afford it, albeit more expensive than some of today's galloping BMWs.
In Shenyang in 1946, horse-drawn carriages became the main means of transportation. Since the horse's strength far exceeds that of a donkey, it can easily pull multiple passengers, bringing great convenience to people.
Compared with the horse-drawn carriage in Shenyang, the carriage in Dalian appeared more Western-style and more attractive in 1924.
Lanzhou in 1933, the city on horseback. Although environmentally friendly and pollution-free, horse breeding is expensive and not affordable for everyone.
In Changchun in 1937, cars could be seen occasionally on the streets, showing the city's modern style. Despite being in the old society, Changchun's industrial development has led the country, and its economy is relatively developed.
At the end of the 40s of the last century, although Shanghai had a large number of cars lined up neatly, it became very convenient to travel, but as the "largest city in the Far East" at that time, its prosperity was not comparable to that of other places.
In the old society, advanced public transportation has emerged in Beijing. The tram runs from Majiapu and Yongdingmen, while the subway is built by Siemens.
By browsing these**, we can see that although there are no cars in the "old society", people's travel methods are still properly arranged and solved.
