Today, we share a group of old photos of Lushunkou, Dalian from 1898 to 2003. The photographer of this group is Pavlovna/Russia
Westerners used to call Lushunkou Port Arthur, namely Port Auther in Dalian, which is now under the jurisdiction of Dalian City, Liaoning Province
The reason why the West used to call Lushun“ Port Arthur&rdquo& ldquo; Gibraltar in the East;. Because of its large scale of military projects, its strategic location is extremely important for China, North Korea, Japan, Russia and other countries. It was once the most important military port in East Asia
Lushun belonged to the county of Tashi in the Han Dynasty. Names in Eastern Jin Dynasty“ Ma Shijin”. In Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was called“ Duli Town”. It was called“ in the Yuan Dynasty; Shizikou”. In the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1371), Zhu Yuanzhang, the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, sent two generals, Ma Yun and Ye Wang, to land across the sea from Penglai and recover Liaodong. Because the sea journey was smooth, Shizikou was renamed Lushunkou, which has been used until today
In the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1880), Li Hongzhang operated here for many years and built the main base of the Beiyang Naval Fleet. In the Sino Japanese Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895, Lushun was captured by Japanese troops, and on November 22, 1894, Lushun was massacred on a large scale. On March 27, the 24th year of Guangxu’s reign in the Qing Dynasty (1898), the Tsarist Russia paid tribute to Liao by interfering, forcing the Qing government to sign the Luda Land Lease Treaty with it, stipulating that the Tsarist Russia leased the military port Lushunkou and the commercial port Dalian Bay for 25 years. On May 7, the Qing government was again forced to sign the Luda Land Lease Renewal Contract with it
This group of photos should be taken at this time
今天分享一组1898年-1903年的大连旅顺口老照片，本组照片的拍摄者：帕夫洛夫娜/俄。
西方人以前称旅顺口为亚瑟港，即大连旅顺口（Port Auther），现为辽宁省大连市辖区。
西方旧时之所以称旅顺为“亚瑟港”、“东方的直布罗陀”。因其港口军事工程规模宏大，战略位置对中、朝、日、俄等国极为重要，曾是东亚地区最重要的军港。
旅顺汉代时属沓氏县。东晋时名“马石津”。隋唐时谓“都里镇”。元代时称“狮子口 ”。明洪武四年（1371年），明太祖朱元璋派马云、叶旺二将率军从蓬莱乘船跨海在此登陆收复辽东，因海上旅途一帆风顺，遂将狮子口改名旅顺口，一直沿用至当代。
清光绪六年（1880年），李鸿章在此经营多年，建成北洋水师舰队的主要基地。1894年~1895年的中日甲午战争中，旅顺被日军攻占，并于1894年11月22日在旅顺进行大规模屠杀，血洗全城。清光绪二十四年（1898年）3月27日，沙俄以干涉还辽有功，迫使清政府与之签订了《旅大租地条约》，规定沙俄租借军港旅顺口、商港大连湾25年。5月7日，再次迫使清政府与之签订《旅大租地续约》。
本组照片拍摄的时间应该就在这段时间。
