How many centuries were rickshaws invented?

Rickshaw is a two-wheeled passenger vehicle with human traction. Rickshaw was originally named "Oriental Rickshaw", also known as Rickshaw, which was produced in about 1870. In Tongzhi 12 (1873), Milla, a Frenchman, saw the convenience of rickshaws and planned to buy them from Japan. He submitted a plan to the French Concession Public Service Bureau, demanding "the establishment of tram passenger service agencies in the two concessions" and applied for a patent operation for ten years. Later, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of French Concession and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of Public Concession, after consultation, agreed that the two bureaus would issue rickshaw licenses and check the distance price. In June 5438+the following year 10, rickshaws were imported from Japan to Shanghai. Because it was imported from Japan, it was also called Toyo car by Shanghainese at that time.
