【2. Modern means of transportation】

【1. Rickshaw】

【A rickshaw, also known as a rickshaw or a rickshaw, is a vehicle that relies on human power. It usually has two wheels, has seats for one or two people, and is pulled by one person in front.】

【Created around 1870】

【In the 12th year of Tongzhi (1873), Mira, a Frenchman, saw the convenience of rickshaws and planned to purchase them from Neon Country. He submitted a plan to the French Concession Public Affairs Bureau, requesting"to establish a hand-operated trolley passenger transport service agency in the two concessions." , and applied for a ten-year patent operation】

【Later, after negotiation between the French Concession Public Affairs Bureau and the Public Concession Industry Bureau, it was agreed that the two bureaus would issue rickshaw licenses and approve the journey price.】

【In January of the following year, rickshaws entered Songhai from Neon Country.】

【Because it was imported from Neon Country, people in Shanghai at that time also called it Oriental Car.】

【In order to attract attention and attract business, the body is painted with yellow paint, hence the name rickshaw.】

【In the early years of the Republic of China, rickshaws had become popular in major cities such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Han Dynasty.】

【By the 36th year of the Republic of China (1947), there were more than 20 car dealers with 1,200 cars and about 600-700 cars owned by car drivers.】

【There are about 3,000 rickshaw pullers (including seasonal ones)】

【On the eve of liberation, there were more than 30 rickshaw companies and dealers in the city, and the number of rickshaws reached more than 1,300. 】03

【The passenger tricycle is a combination of a rickshaw and a bicycle. It can accommodate two passengers. The driver uses pedals to travel, which saves a lot of energy compared to running with a rickshaw.】

【Later, this kind of transportation was eliminated by new transportation】

【Now only seen in tourist attractions】

【Most of them are located around the West Lake, with stops at major scenic spots such as Lingyin Temple, Leifeng Pagoda, and Silk Museum.】

【Rickshaw pullers need to be familiar with the history of Zhangzhou, understand several foreign languages, and be able to serve as tour guides for tourists.】

【With memories of rickshaws, enthusiastic netizens on the Hangzhou website launched a voting post on the forum.】

【Understand netizens’ support for rickshaws through online voting】

【The results of the three-day voting showed that more than 70% of netizens expressed support for the reappearance of rickshaws around West Lake and were full of expectations.】

【Advantages: Convenient, cheap, environmentally friendly, employment promotion】

【Disadvantage: Will the West Lake side be more crowded?】

【Netizen"Zheng Nian Tang" expressed his six major reasons for supporting the emergence of rickshaws in the form of self-questions and answers:】

【1. Reflect traditional culture; 2. The price is lower than other means of transportation; 3. Convenient for tourists; 4. Expand employment; 5. Improve the quality of life; 6. Environmental protection】

【Sitting on a tricycle and taking a leisurely tour of the West Lake is a beautiful memory for tourists and citizens.】

【Other netizens who were in favor of the emergence of rickshaws expressed their support for the rickshaws in their replies."、"I like"、"There must be a market" etc.】

【Netizen"July Dolphin" left a message:"On some sections where motor vehicles are prohibited, you can take a tricycle and stroll around the West Lake slowly. It is not as tiring as walking, but it also has a leisurely atmosphere.""】

【Please take a look below, a video of a tourist taking a selfie of traveling to the West Lake. ]

A video popped up that just showed the whole process of riding a three-wheeled rickshaw and parading the West Lake.

【......】

The ancients were so frightened that they began to sweat on their foreheads.

Can yellow be used casually? ?

The most outrageous thing is that the rain cover on the roof of the rickshaw is also yellow!

Looking at it this way, it looks like the person sitting inside is wearing a big yellow hat!

"hiss~~"

"How dare future generations not be afraid of being beheaded by the emperor!! ?"

"Darling, this is because there are too many people from the Nine Clans."

"No, we can’t look any further. The officials will arrive soon."

"..."

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng has no problem with rickshaws at all.

"Interesting, this item can be used in Xianyang City."

The dragon robes of the Qin Dynasty were black, and even civil and military officials could use black.

There are no hard and fast rules for yellow clothes and costumes.

At this time, he only felt that the rickshaw was very interesting.

If it was summer, sitting on it would definitely be better than wearing it. The carriage is cool inside.

And it is really a very good means of transportation for traveling.

Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang was so angry that his teeth itched.

"How unreasonable! How dare you paint the car yellow!"

After he overthrew the Qin Dynasty, he replaced black with yellow.

It became the exclusive color of the emperor.

Because Qin Shihuang's black dragon robe was calculated based on the five elements popular at the time.

During the Qin Dynasty, a person who was good at yin and yang magic said that Emperor Qin It has one of the Five Virtues. The Yellow Emperor is wood, Shang Tang is earth, and King Wen is gold.

When it comes to Emperor Qin, he is water.

The color represented by water is black. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Use Black is used as the dragon robe. On the surface, Emperor Qin was complying with the will of God.

But Liu Bang overthrew the Qin Dynasty, and earth conquered water.

The representative color of earth is yellow.

That’s why he used yellow as the color of the dragon robe!

I never thought that future generations would dare to wear black on a dragon robe. The car was decorated with yellow cloth!

Liu Bang was so angry that future generations wanted to rebel?

Or was there no emperor at that time?

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin looked a little ugly.

"rickshaw..."

"When I hear the name, I want to kill the person who built the car!

After seeing clearly the origin of the rickshaw, Li Shimin said angrily:"Made in Japan!""

"If you govern the country with small bullets, you will not be able to commit the following crimes!! ?"

Science popularization before the light curtain 950[]

Li Shimin and many ministers saw clearly the faces of the Japanese people.

This will not favor the Japanese country at all.

And they have already sent troops to attack the Japanese country!

In this way, the Japanese country's attempt to learn advanced technology and culture from the Tang Dynasty and then counterattack China was crushed.

Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di praised:"This thing is extremely convenient."

"If promoted in the city, the situation of insufficient carriages can be reduced."

What the carriage lacks is not the carriage, but the horse.

The cost of raising and feeding the horses is not small.

If the horses can be saved and put in the army, there can be more cavalry.

Moreover, the coachman can also get a job to support his family.

Simply the best of both worlds!

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this car is not suitable for promotion. Even if it were built, no one would dare to pull it or sit on it."

A civil servant stood up to remonstrate.

Zhu Di glanced at the speaker and said,"You want to say that yellow cloth was used on the car?"

"You scholars are pedantic"

"Wouldn't it be enough to replace the yellow cloth with cloth of other colors?"

As soon as these words came out, all the civil servants who still wanted to remonstrate shut up.

There is nothing wrong with what you said.

Zhu Di waved his hand and ordered:"Choose someone to build this car, let's call it a rickshaw."

"yes!"The official in charge of the matter agreed...
