How did they live at night when there were no electric lights in ancient times?

Before the Tang Dynasty, the government prohibited people from going out at night. If they were caught, they would be beaten. Late night snacks were gradually opened in the middle of the Tang Dynasty.

Going out to fish and hunt at night is also an interesting night lifestyle for civilians. In ancient times, the ecology was not damaged. There were many wild fish and wild animals. Every time we went out, we mostly gained something. We had both entertainment and delicious food, which was a great pleasure.

In addition, what I like to talk about is chatting with my family and children, telling stories, production skills or life experiences. If you are not serious, just talk about neighborhood gossip, jokes, and gossip.

It is better to do it later if there is moonlight at night, such as hide and seek, etc. Those who can afford to read or want to read read at night. People with lofty ideals and ambitions do not covet the pleasure of the moment. They hope that one day they can stand out and bring glory to their ancestors, so they study hard and work hard. This is their dream. Chiseling the wall to borrow light is a historical allusion handed down.

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, people began to have nightlife, with restaurants, night markets, all-nighters, and brothels.

Not to mention ancient times, even during the Republic of China, most rural areas did not have lighting equipment at night, let alone electric lights.

The so-called lighting is nothing more than oil lamps, which are only used occasionally and cannot be lit for a long time.

In that era, the life of farmers basically consisted of getting up before dawn, eating a meal, and then going out.

After dawn, farmers rush to the fields and start working.

Work until two or three in the afternoon, then eat one meal, only two meals a day.

Then the farmers didn’t go home until it was almost dark.

It’s almost dark when I get home, and after a tiring day, I usually go to bed directly.

Farmers’ life was very hard at that time, and there was no lighting, so there was no entertainment at night.

There was no such thing as playing cards, chess, drinking, or even chatting about things that are common today, let alone watching TV.

In ancient times, farmers basically slept at night, and their only entertainment was probably having sex with their wives.

So China’s population growth has always been relatively fast.
