Fourth, what's the use of ancient fighting?

In ancient times, people lacked accurate means to tell the time, and there were few clocks and watches in general cities, so it was almost entirely overtime to tell the time at night. Even many rural towns have overtime.

At that time, there was little cultural and entertainment life at night, which was basically made at sunrise and stopped at sunset. When people hear the watchman's knocking, they know the time and what to do as usual. People live a quiet life step by step. Overtime has become an ancient occupation.

Extended data:

Watchmen in ancient times had a hard time. He can't sleep at night, so he can only watch the drip (a kind of timing thing) or burn incense (also a kind of timing thing) to grasp the accurate time.

Sometimes, during the day, these night watchmans will appear in the streets and lanes, knocking gongs while verbally conveying official notices, or simple government affairs temporarily decided by local township heads and mayors, such as the time limit for paying taxes, accepting donations, collecting able-bodied men, or convening people's meetings, etc. These affairs were notified by the watchman, which was a way of message transmission in ancient Chengdu. It is more common in Suwa Street, Du Yuan Street and Zongfu Road.

Usually after the dead of night, I knock while walking with a small gong in my hand. At the same time, according to the different seasons, by reminding family members and shopkeepers to check doors and windows, fire prevention and theft prevention, etc., things that should be paid attention to are casually shouted out. In 1930s and 1940s, there were lanterns, gongs, hemp fibers and hats in Chengdu. In the 1950s and 1960s, water boots, liberation shoes, flashlights and self-defense appliances were added.
