In this photo, we can see a barber who is braid someone's hair. It is said that after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was ordered to keep the head without hair, and specially trained a group of people to clean people's hair.
This became the norm in the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years. However, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, in order to survive, these barbers also developed some side jobs, such as braiding hair and plucking ears.
Although foot binding was all the rage during the Qing Dynasty, research shows that foot binding was not a smart move. Foot binding causes the feet to become smaller, unable to bear the weight of the human body, and requires support such as crutches to walk.
Although our country has experienced many wars in its history, the overall development trend of science and technology is forward. However, during the period of the Qing Dynasty's seclusion, science and technology not only did not make progress, but was surpassed by foreign countries.
It can be seen from this ** that during this period of time, technology and law have lagged behind.
This ** records a beggar during the Qing Dynasty. Historically, beggars existed in all dynasties, and the frequency of their appearance even changed with the affluence of the dynasty, for example, the number of beggars was relatively small during the Song Dynasty.
According to statistics, the number of beggars gradually increased in the late Qing Dynasty, which may have been one of the factors that led to the fall of the Qing Dynasty.
This ** reveals a cruel reality: no matter what dynasty it is, the gap between the rich and the poor exists. However, the more developed dynasties, the gap between the poor and the wealthy at the bottom seems to be gradually narrowing.
But looking at the clothes of this family, although they may not be the richest, their living conditions are very different from those of the poor, and it is chilling.
This ** records a group of hard-working children during the Qing Dynasty. Despite social unrest and waning Qing rule, these wealthy children were still eager to learn, and their persistence energized the continuation of the Qing dynasty.
*It shows that many people gathered at the foot of the Shinto stone statue of the Ming Ming Tombs, and they were doing outdoor activities such as hiking. These people had no reverence for these stone statues that represented history and culture, and even disrespected their ancestors, which may have contributed to the fall of the Qing Dynasty.
This ** shows the gunpowder and artillery of the late Qing Dynasty, and their backwardness became one of the important reasons why the Qing Dynasty was invaded by foreign powers. In this **, the image of Gege riding a donkey reflects the development of the times and the improvement of living standards, which makes people feel a lot of emotion.
The other ** is the scene of the Qing Dynasty's local troops being reviewed, although they are armed with powerful muskets, but the formation is quite weak, which has also become an important weakness of the Qing Dynasty by the invasion of foreign powers.
