Old photos of Balin Right Banner in Inner Mongolia in 1920s, the style and features of grassland people 100 years ago

Today, I would like to share with you a group of old photos of the Balin Right Banner in Inner Mongolia in the 1920s. Let’s take a look at the grassland people 100 years ago

This group of photos gives little historical information, and the photographer is Japanese bird Ju Long Zang

Torii Ryuzo is a famous Japanese anthropologist and archaeologist. He was good at fieldwork all his life, and his works were quite abundant, enjoying a good reputation both at home and abroad. Bird Ju Long Zang has carried out dozens of anthropological and archaeological fieldwork in China since 1895, and many photos have been preserved

I haven’t found out the specific shooting location of this group. Please leave a message if any netizen can identify it or provide more information. Thank you

Bahrain is the name of the Mongolian tribe in the Ming Dynasty, which means “position”; Fortress&rdquo& ldquo; Post&rdquo& ldquo; Military stronghold”. The West is called Right in Mongolian. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Bahrain Ministry of Mongolia settled here for grazing. In the eighth year of Tiancong of the Later Jin Dynasty (1634), when he was enfeoffment of the vassal pastures, the flag area was determined to be Bahrain Left Wing Banner and Bahrain Right Wing Banner. In the fifth year of Shunzhi’s reign in the Qing Dynasty (1648), a government office was set up, named Bahrain Right Wing Banner, with Zasak Yamen and Zhaowuda as the ally. After the founding of New China, it was renamed Bahrain Right Banner, which has always been used

Balin Right Banner is the hometown of the Liao Dynasty and the birthplace of the Khitan nationality. The cultures of Hongshan, Mengyuan, Balinshi, Geser, etc. are intertwined and integrated, and the natural scenery and cultural landscape complement each other

ps: Some people said that this group of photos was taken in the 1940s, but according to the photo analysis and the journey of birds living in Longcang, it should belong to the 1920s
