What kind of "car shops" were popular in Northeast China from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China?

People often talk about it? When the boat arrives at the dock, the car arrives at the station, and the cart enters the city to stay in the hotel? The so-called cart to be paved refers to the shop where the carriage will stay. Horse-drawn carriage is an animal-powered means of transportation, unlike cars, which have parking spaces and need special care for horses.

Coach shops were popular in Northeast China in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and gradually disappeared until the reform and opening up. Even now, there are many coach shops in Northeast China. For example, many place names are named after coach shops, not to mention small villages and towns. Wafangdian city, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Dalian, developed from a coach shop.

Northeast China used to be famous? Northeast king? Zhang spent his early years in a carriage shop. Because Ma Jing was often ill in the carriage shop, Zhang studied veterinary medicine once or twice. It is precisely because of this ability that Zhang's later development has been greatly helped.

Why did coach shops become popular in Northeast China in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China? If you don't live in a car shop, you may not get out of the Northeast alive.

Northeast China is the birthplace of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty and should be relatively developed. However, because the rulers at that time banned the development of the people in the northeast, the northeast was closed and backward for a long time, and finally had to open the population policy to encourage immigrants to the northeast.

Until the end of the Qing dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, due to the famine in Hebei and Shandong, famine finally formed? To the east? The migration tide and the movement of a large number of people have greatly promoted the mode of transportation. Although trains and sea transportation had been opened one after another at that time, more distances were still completed by carriages.

Besides, horses are very valuable things, so you have to go to a special store and feed them.

A lot has been said. There were carriages all over the country at that time. Why coach shop is popular in Northeast China? This has something to do with the climate and geography in Northeast China. The climate in customs is generally not too cold. Even in winter, car owners can find a straw pile, and cats can't work in the northeast overnight. There is no hot air in winter in Northeast China, which can really freeze people to death.

Especially at that time, the northeast was vast and sparsely populated, and it often took a long time to get to the town. The carriage shops along the road are actually equivalent to ancient post stations. In a carriage shop, there is often a long kang that can sleep dozens to hundreds of people. This heating method is also more economical.

More importantly, at that time, due to the late development in Northeast China, public security was particularly poor, followed by tough folk customs. Bandits all over the mountain are really unaccustomed to their problems, and the boss of the coach shop is also a bit fierce. He lives here safely, otherwise he will have nowhere to argue.

Modern Northeast Logistics Company provides transportation services? Freight? Cart shop?

In fact, the coach owner we understand is a small-scale coach shop, right? People and animals live in * *? In fact, there are not only such car shops in the northeast, but also a car shop similar to a logistics company.

Because this kind of rickshaw puller pulls goods, we don't see much in all kinds of literary works. At that time, Northeast China was an important outflow area of agricultural products because of its vast territory and sparse population and high land productivity.

At that time, due to the developed waterways in Northeast China, agricultural products could be transported to ports with the help of Liaohe River, Heilongjiang River and Yalu River, and then transferred from ports to other coastal ports in China through Bohai Sea or Yellow Sea.

However, inland waterways freeze in winter. From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, the climate in Northeast China was colder, and the freezing period was 65438+February to March of the following year. In the meantime, the goods must be transported by truck.

This kind of cart is not the kind we see in the countryside now, but the kind of mules or horses. The carts in Heilongjiang and Jilin have large bodies, generally involving more than five mules and horses, and the load can reach 1750 kg.

However, because the Liaoning is close to the port, its car body is small, generally less than five, with a maximum load of 1500 kg.

At that time, Yingkou Port was an important port in Northeast China because it was connected with Liaohe River. The freezing period is coming, reaching 1000 vehicles every day.

In order to provide transportation services for businessmen, there are also some coach shops around the port. These coach shops have their own carriages, and the freight can be transported after negotiation. Even some merchants will trade with shippers here. This kind of coach shop should be regarded as the earliest logistics company.

It was not until the railway was built that these trucks were gradually replaced by trains. Of course, due to the vast territory of Northeast China and the limited radiation range of railways, the role of carts is still necessary, especially the coach shops that provide accommodation for people and animals, which developed rapidly in Northeast China at that time.

How is the coach shop run? Not only care about food and accommodation, but also provide two-person performances.

Of course, coach shops are also graded, similar to the current star-rated hotels, where people who open shops hang at the door? A cover? Because it is woven from a reed, it is also called? In a circle? .

Hanging basket means that the living conditions of small shops are generally simple, and people living in them are pedestrians and trolleys, such as people crossing Kanto or vendors walking around the streets. But as long as you hang a basket, you can't recruit beggars. This is a rule and a kind of respect for other shopkeepers.

Hanging two stores in a circle, the store is larger, not only can live people, but also can provide carts and places to feed horses. The food is similar to that in a circle.

In short, the bigger the store, the better the service. If there is a fish hanging below, it means it is open all day (because fish are aquatic animals, they don't close their eyes day and night).

The most exquisite ox cart shop not only has a big stove, but also a small stove, which is not only in good condition, but also has a duet performance in the northeast at night. In order to attract car owners, some shops also take in artists who can play duet, not only providing accommodation, but also giving money, which also promotes the development of duet culture in Northeast China.

Some people say that it is understandable that the two people in the northeast have changed their customs. At first, the northeast couple turned to these tired car owners to sing, mainly for fun, and then went to bed. You are too elegant for anyone to see!

Because there is only one big kang in the cart shop, which provides big pot rice, the cost is low and the charge is very low, so it is naturally loved by passers-by.

As far as the cultural core is concerned, the culture in Northeast China itself is a kind of integration, and mobility is one of his major characteristics. Judging from the emergence and development of coach shops, it still conforms to the characteristics of Northeast China.

Even in the current northeast tourist area, the very popular farmhouse has the shadow of a cart shop, charging tens of dollars a person, not only providing accommodation but also managing three meals, so that people who come out to play can live economically and grounded.
