Old photos of daily life of people along the Yangtze River in 1910

Share a group of old photos of everyday life of people along the Yangtze River in the 1910s

This group was filmed by an American missionary who started traveling along the Yangtze River from Chengdu and filmed the daily life of the people along the Yangtze River. The author of this group of photos, the location of each photo and other photos taken at the same time need to be verified

However, I think that the photographer of this group is probably Luther&Middleot; Then Ed. Luther Knight (1879-1913), born in Iowa, studied at Northwestern University in Illinois and Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, and taught at two American universities. In June 1910, he signed a contract with the Sichuan Higher School of the Qing Dynasty to assist education. In August of that year, he arrived in China from the United States through Japan. Later, he went west from Shanghai along the Yangtze River and arrived in Chengdu in October to teach mathematics, chemistry and geology in Sichuan Higher School

Today’s editor will share some photos collected with you:

渔民将船拉紧并固定在锚地上。

一位男子戴着头巾，在岸边的沙滩上，筛着沙子。

另外几个男子，已经将江滩挖成沟壑，深处的碎石与西沙混杂一处，在运到上图的筛床上，加工后的沙在卖给各地。

得益于长江的生计，1900年代中国人民的生活变得更好。

在船上所拍的石宝寨，这座奇特的建筑建在孤石上，位于今日重庆忠县的长江北岸，始建于明万历年间，第一次见到的外国人纷纷为之震撼，被称为中国奇观。

为了维持生计，许多长江沿岸的人靠捕鱼或为商人提货谋生。

渔民的船在长江上航行

远处是生活在亚洲最长河上的人民的小船。

即使江流湍急，一些渔民的船仍然活跃。

即使看上去很渺小，但坚强的中国人任然划船在长江上谋生。

长江三峡险滩之冠的崆岭峡，长江来到这里，礁石密布，几条巨大石梁分开江水，犬牙交错

长江两岸是危险的山脉。

将近十二艘中国渔民的船起航，希望能钓到很多鱼和虾。

照片中有许多沿长江建造的民房。 每天，他们在这条河里洗衣服和洗澡。
