Everywhere have their poor and their rich. What I'm saying is at least they don't have shit all over the road. Europe was so bad until carts and wagons pulled by horses can't even move and got stuck due to how much shit is on the road.

Until now cannot provide any evidence of this in 1900 Europe/Edwardian London and ask people to believe. You watch too much Medieval drama lol

Then ask people to post pictures for him to prove his fever theory.

Show me the shit-filled streets? Meanwhile people laughing left right and centre at your claim that war-torn and poverty stricken Qing Dynasty was more advanced than Europe of the same period. doh.gif Go back to history class la, boy

Meanwhile in China only emperor are rich and others are filth poor.

This is Not true.

Below the Emperor u hv the nobles who were either nobles by birth or were granted titles for service to the country, some titles hereditary some not.

Then u hv a class of officials who may be nobles as well. Of course some official appointments are more prestigious n hv more opportunities to make money.

Below that there's the merchant class who may hv lots of money but status is below officials.

You may not be aware but no matter how much money a merchant has, he still had to adhere to the social rules which determined every aspect of life eg how many concubines u can hv, wat material u can wear, how many horses + type+color to draw yr carriage, how many slaves /servants u can hv, wat yr wife + daughters can wear, type of jewellery + gemstones etc.

So status was v important n anyone can try to improve one's status by education. It was the only way one can elevate oneself n family. This is a major reason Chinese emphasize heavily on education.

If you are educated u are respected; more so than if you only hv money.

Of course the world has changed even for Chinese, many now think money is more important than anything else.

Title of this vid is "kids of prosperous families"

We've been misled by the extravagant costumes of Chinese dramas whether Taiwan,  HK or mainland productions, where even the beggars are fat n wear clean new clothes.

Let's look at some real photos of commoners in those days.  Of course where the photos are posed the people dressed up for the photos as it's not as easy as today to hv photos taken. And such photos are of relatively well off commoners.







Poor folks



Mixed

This is not surprising as qing dynasty was one of those extreme corrupted period where the arustocrats are rich but the common people are poor.

The jurchens did not fully adopt chinese way of running a country causing extreme inequality.

Tbh i dont know how is it even relevant to me. But i made mention of aristocracy and you made mention of nobles.

So you are agreeing with me that only a small group of people is rich and the rest is poor.

Thank you again.

mindset and general preception.... last time the lady must be fat and backside must be big to indicate she is very "subur".... the real beauty is not by face but rather the feet.... the smaller the pretty and elegant .... only well do family girls can have foot binding because no need to work...

U said "the common people are poor" which if u had read n understood #51, u would know is not necessarily true.

Merchants could be very rich n they are not classed as "arustocrats" or nobles but as commoners.

The underlined statement is not the same as what u said abt "arustocrats".

The noble and rich ppl are Manchu ppl and the rest Han ppl are dirt poor.Yes the minority are rich and majority are poor

There were poor manchus n rich hans as well.

U forgot that the qing dynasty closed its door to the outside world for many years. So. What merchant?

There is no international merchant, only domestic merchant.

Even later when qing dynasty door was force open later, trading permits are confined to a small amount of priviledged people, guess who? Mostly aristocrats.
