@@codedeception3704 you’re kidding, right? Opium destroyed the Qing dynasty, and weakened Chinese culture for crying out loud. Prior to 1840 the Chinese people did not use opium for recreation. It was tightly controlled as a medicine.
@@elizabethbrower640 did you see the other early 1900 china videos? people walking around with pipes and doing opium, their country sold them out dude, japan was ahead of every country and probably still is to this day.
@@codedeception3704 lol. Not everyone smoking a pipe in China was smoking opium. Many smoked pipe tobacco. Usually when people smoked opium they had to lie down somewhere. Hence the term “opium dens.” We even had them here in the west during the transatlantic railroad construction when Chinese workers came over. But they weren’t the majority or nothing would ever have gotten done. Further, the Qing dynasty had severe penalties for opium use and addiction. If you became addicted, you had one year to kick the habit. If you couldn’t, they would chop your head off for you. Good grief you are ignorant.
You can easily see the effects of malnutrition on almost everyone: very thin ans short (on the "troops" training you can see also the mental handicap that happen when malnutrition happens in early infancy and accompanies the rest of their lives). Opium doesn't help either. Even the Peking Opera artists are moving skeletons. That's why they look so different to today's Chinese.
Malnutrition was also common in all of Europe in the Middle Ages and up; people didn't grow more than 145-150cm. Te poor just consumed beans and soup of beans; the rich and nobility had fish and lots of meat and even today the royalty and nobility in the EU are very tall; In the Middle Ages people slept sitting up, scared as they were and thought you could die if you slept lying down' Malnutrition is of all ages and parts of the world.
Footage of Europe from this time will of course feel old, but seeing China is to look on another lost way of life so foreign it's hard to wrap your mind around it.
It feels like peeking trough a portal to the 1650's, Qing China is so out of place compared to the rest of the wold in the 20th century I almost think they got stuck in a time paradox

I feel sorry for the first lady with her feet bound. Never not knowing pain. Glad that woman like Gladys Allard help put an end to it. My favorite story of hers is that she spoke about in a village and nobody would unbind the young girls feet. Then an old teetering woman shuffled up and started unwrapping her feet. All the people begged her not to (because as an adult it would be unbearable pain), she said she wouldn't if they would let the young girls undo theirs. The village never again bound their girl's feet. Good moral is that all it takes is one person.
@@wanghui562 this is really stupid argument, you know? not every hair removal procedure is painful, and first of all not every women do it and after all it's not a cultural thing but a choice! :) Don't even compare voluntary hair removal (which started to be popular with women due to the rise of men's razor blades, it's worth reading about the history of gillette and how the pressure developed in women to shave too, because women were told that they were disgusting and gross) to brutal and forced breaking of bones to make women "prettier" to men...

@@lepetitchat123 They have always wanted a fairer look, it's the classical beauty standard like that of nobility. But it's limited to the women, men really don't care to look fair skinned.

I have never in my life seen Chinese look that dark, approaching or even surpassing African skin color in darkness.

Still, I think those army folk have skin color that are more representative of tanned Chinese people. Btw I'm antinatalist too :) Cheers
An old footage is the real true Time Machine to reveal the secrets and life of the past and in history. For example, in the footage where the Qing soldiers train with their guns. The uniforms of the soldiers are very different compared to the Qing soldiers in the movies. In the movies and films, the soldiers would wear a Manchu cap or a mushroom shaped hat with these red strings on them and they would wear a blue uniform with a patch that says bing or yong and would wear black boots. But in the footage, the soldiers just wear turbans and they only wear a vest and some sandals. Plus, the soldiers in the footage are very short compared to the ones on the movies.
I am reaching out here, do you have any old photos or footage from the 1900s Beijing. Can you recommend any books that would have that history and also the cave houses. If you or anyone has any information about that time era I would be very thankful. My sister is writing a book and there will be a chapter or two from around that time when the boxers were killing all the missionaries. It's not a historical book but it's part of a story that involves a young missionarie and the help she got from the cave people. My sister wants to get it right so any help would be great. Best wishes from Ireland.
I know, right. It looks that way especially with the city walls in the background. I think Mao and the Communists later tore down the city walls of Beijing to make way for new building developments. If I remember correctly, Tiananmen square marks the place where the Main Gate (Tiananmen Gate) of the Forbidden City used to be located.
Everyone was darker back then. Pale skin and straight hair is not natural: it is caused by a disease as a result of mixing Humans with Monkeys. "White people" didn't exist until about 100 years ago; their history is made-up.
The ordinary folks don't have the luxury to shower everyday, just once a month. That's why they all look dirty. We're lucky to live in this golden age. Be grateful.
You can see examples of "bound feet" in this clip. The woman eating with chopsticks with the man, and the very tall female dancer. The dancer's feet are shockingly small. Its a wonder she can walk/stand. let alone dance. She even dances on one foot at one point. Foot binding was once pretty much required in China, you wouldn't' get a husband unless feet were bound. Only slaves and peasants didn't get bound.
I know it's the camera quality, but notice how east Asians from these eras all appeared so tanned, even in photos? Hard laboring under the sun.. Today they are very pale by comparison
