I make a popular science video and all the emperors learn from it!

Chapter 163

[Popular science continues.] 】

[The invention of the wheel is undoubtedly a great progress of mankind, on the basis of the wheel, and then there are various means of transportation based on the wheel. 】

[The wheelbarrow may be the earliest wheeled means of transportation invented by mankind.] 】

[Its structure is relatively simple, and it is also very convenient to use, so that it is not difficult to see it in the countryside in today's highly developed civilization. 】

【......】

["Land travel by car, water travel by boat, mud travel by sled, mountain travel by road" is a summary of the performance of several major means of transportation in ancient times. 】

[Vehicles, generally speaking, can be divided into two categories: animal power and manpower. 】

[Animal vehicles include mule carts, ox carts, donkey carts, sheep carts, carts, donkeys, camels, horses, etc. 】

[Human-powered vehicles include boats, rickshaws, tricycles, sedan chairs and white bridges, shoulders, shoulders, ice beds, etc.] 】

[1. Ancient means of transportation. 】

[The means of transportation in ancient China mainly included boats, mule carts, donkey carts, ox carts, sheep carts, sedan chairs, etc., which mainly relied on manpower and animal power. 】

[1. Boat or boat. 】

[Most of the early humans lived along rivers. 】

[After dealing with water a lot, I gradually discovered the buoyancy of water, and some light 340 things will not sink in the water. 】

[In order to meet the needs of fishing and river crossing, people created the earliest water tool with simple tools - canoes. 】

[Archaeologists found ancient rafts at the Hemudu site, about 7,000-5,000 years ago. 】

The history of the raft can be traced back to prehistory. 】

The manufacture and application of canoes is a major event in human history. 】

[Making a canoe was too complicated for primitive people who lacked advanced tools. 】

[People improved it, tying tree trunks, bamboo poles, reeds, etc. into rafts, or making rafts out of animal skins to float on the water. 】

[Enter the Bronze Age.] 】

[Bronze tools have been mastered, and logs can be split into boards relatively easily to build plank boats. 】

[With the development of human material civilization, the power of wooden boats and rafts when sailing is generally a penny oar or oar, which can no longer meet people's needs. 】

[The sail came into being in this situation. 】

[A sailboat is a boat that uses the wind to move forward, and it is an ancient water vehicle after boats and rafts (abaj), which has a history of more than 00 years. 】

[According to the number of masts, it can be divided into sloops, brigs and multi-masts;]

[Flat-bottomed and pointed-bottomed sailboats are divided according to the type of boat;]

[According to the head type, it is divided into wide-headed, narrow-headed and pointed-head sailing boats. 】

[The sailing ships used in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties in China include flat-bottomed sand boats, pointed-bottom fortune boats, wide ships and fast small boat bird boats, as well as large warships and boats for transporting grain. 】

[Sailing boats are usually monohulls, but there are also catamarans that are more resistant to wind and waves. 】

[Sailing ships mainly rely on sails to sail with the help of the wind, and rely on oars, oars and pennies as a means of propulsion, berthing and sailing when there is no wind. 】

[2. Car. 】

[According to legend, during the Xia Dynasty, the craftsman Xi Zhong built the world's first real car. 】

[In the end, it was further improved and became a horse-drawn cart.] 】

[This was followed by the carriage age, which lasted for thousands of years. 】

[There are many types of transportation in the Xia Dynasty, such as "land travel, water travel, boat, mud travel, prying". 】

[Xi Zhong was named "Che Fu Doctor" (also known as "Che Zheng") by Xia Wangyu for his meritorious work in building cars. 】

[The appearance of the carriage, its contribution is no less than the "four great inventions", Xi Zhong is the earliest and largest inventor and politician on the ground of the ancient Xue Kingdom, and was worshiped as the god of the car by the people after his death. 】

[Later generations built the Xi Gong Temple in Qianshantou, Xuecheng District, to worship all year round, in order to travel safely. 】

[Therefore, there is a folk proverb of "worshiping Xi Zhong and traveling safely" in the local area. 】

[In the Han Dynasty, there was a "chicken bus". 】

[The origin of the name of the chicken bus is probably because its shape is a bit like a chicken. 】

[A huge wheel rises high, like a high-spirited cockscomb; the two wings are sturdy wooden frames, stacking goods; and the two wooden handles behind are lifted by the cart man and placed next to the crotch, naturally like Zhang's tail. 】

[The "chicken bus" is a wheelbarrow with a relatively long history. 】

[It is made of hardwood, 4 long, the frame is installed on both sides of the wheel, and it is pushed by one person holding two handlebars, and sometimes it can also be pulled forward and pushed backwards, and it can carry people and goods. 】

[The car was first pushed and pulled by people. (Read the violent novel, go to the Feilu Novel Network!)

[When people have been able to tame cattle, horses, and other livestock, people use livestock to pull them again. 】

[Animal-powered vehicles have a larger carrying capacity than rickshaws, and they are also faster and have a longer driving range. Single-wheeled bicycles were the original form of animal-powered vehicles, but later they were driven and towed by two or four horses. 】

[The horse that drives is called a service horse, and the horse that is pulled on both sides is a horse.] 】

[Over the course of a long history, horse-drawn carriages have gradually become the most widely used means of transportation on land. 】

[In war, the carriage has also become a powerful weapon, and it has become the trump card division of all arms because of its speed and strong impact. 】

[Similarly, some wise people began to domesticate mules, oxen, donkeys and other animal power as a means of transportation. 】

[to the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and other dynasties. 】

[The decoration of the carriage will vary according to the aesthetics or actual needs of the people, such as the Ming Dynasty, the left and right or front and rear doors of the carriage are designed, making the way for passengers to get on the car more convenient, and at the same time making the whole carriage more ventilated, becoming a necessary "business car" for long-distance business travel. 】

[At that time, in addition to the horse-drawn carriage, there was also a means of transportation, that is, the sedan chair. 】

It is a means of transportation that relies on human or animal power. 】

[The power of the sedan chair is people, so often only those who are rich and powerful can afford to hire people to carry the sedan chair. 】

[In China, the sedan chair has become a symbol of people's identity and status. 】

[3, sedan car. 】

[The origin of the sedan chair is no longer examinable, but there are many types, such as official sedan chairs, folk sedan chairs, happy sedan chairs and soul sedan chairs, etc., and the scope of circulation is very wide. 】

[4. Ancient version of the bicycle. 】[]

[According to historical records, during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, a person named Huang Luzhuang developed the first bicycle in China. 】

[It has a wheel at the front and back, and it is cranked by a hand-cranked axle, but it cannot be turned. 】

[About a hundred years later, Sifrak, a native of FA, invented the wooden bicycle. 】
