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 。

中午时分考察团的船只经过了巫峡,罗林拍摄了数张巫峡风光照。在这张照片上我们可以看到长江巫峡段两岸高山对峙,景色壮美。一艘木船升起风帆,在长江中航行,。

船驶过巫山古城的江段,罗林站在船尾拍摄,江水如锦缎般的丝滑,直铺而下。

再往上行,照片拍摄到了巫山古城的一部分,有一座三层的楼阁耸立岸边,右侧的岸上,也可见众多的建筑。

行船过程中躺着床上看书的罗林,可以看到舱壁都是木板隔开,上方挂有辟邪的八卦镜,壁柱上还有“状元榜眼”的字样,木床有点像榻的形制,垫有两层床垫,好像是席梦思的造型,床底下堆满了行李,右边放着一个饼干盒。

巫峡的风光,岸边的峭壁极为陡峭,江水在此处流动平缓,波光粼粼。

二、夔州(重庆奉节)风貌

3月16日夜船只停靠在夔门村,3月17日破晓时分,考察团乘船出发前往夔州。

到达夔州后,考察团一行上岸后,逗留了两个半小时,此图是罗林在一处街巷中所拍,左边的中式建筑是夔州府警察总局,右侧的招牌写有:“罗天兴兑换金银精”的字样,两旁的老百姓看着这群外国人,显然十分好奇。

罗林在夔州的一座戏楼所拍摄,门匾高挂“悬鉴”二字,里侧的门匾可见:“江上峰青”四字,两侧的柱子上各有对联悬挂,戏台下方的门洞外,一群百姓翘首以待,准备看着稀奇的洋人。

此图可能与上图在同一处,像是一个祭祀的庙宇,中间的神台供着神主牌位,其左侧的柱子下方可见“福何兮巴蜀东吴”的字样,可能是某位三国人物。

罗林路过一家街边店铺,店主一家人正在吃早点。围观的百姓还是很多的。

夔州的江岸,画面中间的远处,正是夔门的标志性高峰,近处的码头上,竹席上铺满了谷物,船上的工人忙忙碌碌着。

三、云阳风光

1909年3月18日,考察团继续前往云阳的途中,罗林在船上看到两岸风景,发现很多山整体被开垦成梯田,让他联想到金字塔的模样。

ps:为了建设三峡大坝,云阳老县城已经1999年搬迁至上游的双江镇。

罗林到达云阳老县城的江面时拍摄,对岸飞凤山上的庙宇是纪念张飞的张桓侯庙,始建于1700多年前的蜀汉时期,后因三峡工程蓄水,张飞庙也被整体搬迁至新云阳城的对岸。

云阳老县城的岸边风光,极可能是他在船上所拍,近岸处可见稀落的窝棚房屋,往上是连在一起的窝棚,再往上可见砖瓦结构的大宅,阳历三月的时节,气温应不高,岸上的云阳百姓都穿着袍子御寒。

下午3点,罗林一行乘坐的船到达了云阳县的兴隆滩,他拍摄的原图片注释为他们乘坐的船在Sin Tan(其实是兴隆滩)急流中被纤夫拉行。

在云阳兴隆滩,纤夫们在拉船。

罗林在日记中回忆到,拍摄张照片之前的一个多小时,有一艘船在急流中沉没,船上9人中有8人溺亡,在考察团的船到达时候,沉船被强大的水流又冲上水面,后来在岸边他们在一间茅草屋看到了裹着毯子的唯一幸存者,经过交谈得知他的伤势不大。

在兴隆滩另一个方向,罗林拍摄的纤夫拉纤的场景。

罗林乘坐的木船毫不费力通过了兴隆滩,这是他在船上拍摄的船头场景。 船夫趴在船头小心翼翼的查看江水的情况。

同样的船头,罗林让船老大一家在一起,拍了一张全家福,男主人把最小的孩子抱在怀里,可能是迎着光,也许是腼腆,他们都低着头。

1909年3月19日,考察团乘坐的木船继续溯流而上,当夜抵达万县。
