On January 4, 1909, an American geologist, Zhang Bolin, and his son, Luo Lin, set out from Chicago and arrived in Shanghai on February 2 of the same year. During his stay in China, Zhang Bolun and his son successively visited 13 provinces including Jiangsu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, Sichuan, Henan, Zhili, Shanxi, and took more than 600 photos recording the social life of the late Qing Dynasty, which were later summarized into a photo album in 1909=“ http://www.laozhaopian5.com/jingdian/1891.html “target=”_ Blank “>Zhang Bolin’s Collection of Chinese Photography 。

从梁山元坝驿的大路走来,进入大竹境内罗林在沿途拍摄的一处牌坊。

牌坊上可以清晰看到“汪云翘快来”的字样,想必这里是相约见面的标志性建筑。此位置应该是大竹杨家镇,现在牌坊已经没有了。

走过上图的牌坊,迎面出现了两条路、两座桥,一条是平的石板桥,另一条是石拱桥

罗林在山道上,停了下来,往山下的方向拍摄,山上的树木并不多见,沿着山坡都是开垦过的梯田。

罗林在日记中回忆到,这里峡谷的底部被填满和变圆,形成梯田用作种稻,而在路边等地的零星和尽头,种植着大量的芥菜、豆类和其他蔬菜,山脊之间的景色很吸引人,而且显得有趣。

在大竹县的西部地区,考察团一行来到了一处煤矿,矿工正在将煤块装入框子里,准备挑走。

罗林回忆那些煤炭装在又长又浅的篮子里运出矿井,入口处太低,他看到一个男子不用木鞋或木板套在手上爬行,坑道有些地方太窄,以至于无法穿衣,矿工们大多赤身裸体,只剩下臀部包裹着布料,不过这张照片里人们穿的衣服都比较齐整。

四川渠县拍摄的老照片

渠县,别称宕渠,位于四川东部、达州市西南部,渠县历史悠久,早在周赧王元年(前314年)就设置了宕渠县,明洪武九年(1376年)定名渠县,自此渠县县名从未改变。渠县是川东北文化的起源地,巴蜀文化的重要组成部分,还是中国四大天然气基地之一。

民国县志载:诗仙李白曾留寓宕渠,泛舟渠江,驻足南阳寺。有诗为证“惜彼落日暮,爱此寒潭清。西晖逐流水,荡漾游子情。空歌望云月,曲尽长松声。”明代镌刻为碑,渠人广为传诵。(“李渡河”名字就是这样来的)

罗林在李渡河附近拍摄的沿途田地风光。

罗林发现四川的农民将小麦与豆类植物混种,当两者一起种植时,小麦比单独种植时高得多,生长也更茂盛,这是由于豆类植物固定了土壤中的氮,但考察团通过调查发现,当地人们只知道这样做会取得更好的收成,却并不知道其中的原因。

位于李渡河东部的一处庙宇,祭祀着一位三眼的神主。这可能是川主庙,和李冰父子有关,三只眼正是二郎神的形象。

李渡河东部的一处牌坊和桥梁,左侧的水面并不是河流,而是一处水田,桥对岸的房屋前,可以看到人群在看着远方来的外国人

过桥之后,罗林往来处的方向拍摄,考察团一行是做轿子行进的,图中的轿夫们抬着他们坐的轿子。

罗林在后方,等着轿夫们走远,拍下了这张他们行进中的照片,可以看到轿子由四人抬着,某种程度上,坐在轿子上前行,对考察团成员来说,也是非常轻松惬意的事情。

在考察队伍前面可以看到有几个人行走,这应该是护送考察团的清兵,当天下午4点10分,罗林一行抵达了李渡河,他利用多余的时间冲洗了之前拍摄的照片。

1909年3月25日7点15分,考察团从李渡河出发,乘船渡过渠河,顺流而下,航行一段距离后再上岸,中午时分到达吴家场(位于今天的李渡乡和新市镇之间),这是吴家街的一处山道,对面的小山坡上有一座牌坊和民居,高处的坡地也有很多坟茔。

考察团于3月25日下午3点15分到达新市镇,第二天早上继续出发前往顺庆,这是罗林在3月26日晨间拍摄的新市镇梯田风光。

现在的新市镇,隶属达州市渠县,地处渠县西南部, 以原新市镇和原宋家乡两乡级单位地域面积为新市镇地域面积。

1909年3月27日,考察团抵达顺庆(今南充顺庆区)。
