A bony beggar. This fragile state is deeply heartbreaking. The society was depressed in the late Qing Dynasty, and the life of the bottom people was very fragile. In the face of natural and man-made disasters, because there is no savings, the whole family immediately fell into a situation of lack of food and clothing and nowhere to live. So there are many beggars and refugees. ?

Scavengers on city streets. The broad masses of the people at the bottom struggle all the year round. Instead of developing people's livelihood, the imperial court increased the tax burden and imposed new taxes to control the New Deal. This move makes people's survival more difficult. ?

Women and children in the village. Several people are holding bamboo baskets, and a woman is hanging around her waist. It is a magic weapon for folk heating. Bamboo fire cage. The fire cage is woven with bamboo sticks, and there is a pottery bowl in it to hold charcoal. Every winter, the countryside is particularly cold. Adults, children and the elderly put the red-hot charcoal into the fire cage bowl and carry it with them to keep warm. Now that the heating conditions are greatly improved, no one uses this kind of fire cage, right? ?

Two green camp soldiers of the Qing army.

As soon as Empress Dowager Cixi came to power, she began to abolish green camp with a population of 600,000. Until the eve of the Revolution of 1911, there were more than 65,438+10,000 people left. While abolishing green camp, the imperial court vigorously developed Yong Camp, and later trained a new army. ?
