What did the ancients do at night without electricity?

it is more appropriate for me to answer this question. The reason is that our generation had no electricity in the countryside at night when they were young. I don't think it's much different from ordinary people in ancient times.

Kerosene lamps are standard at night, and candles are used only after power is turned on later and power is often cut off.

I remember that at that time, it was actually fun at night, and it may feel more interesting than the life of watching TV, mobile phones and computers at night after electricity is available now. First of all, it was time for friends to play together at night, and nature gave us too many things to play with. We can play games at night, catch fish, drop in and so on, and there is always endless fun every day. Adults also feel a lot of things, and neighbors have endless words every day.

ancient people and ordinary people, I guess that's about it.

As for the ancient nobles and literati, wine is a song, and life is geometric! Therefore, the ancient evening is more about people-to-people communication, which will not be worse than our modern people!

before, when there was no electricity, oil lamps were used at first. That is, cooking oil is put in a small porcelain bowl and rushes are used as wick points.

use more rushes to highlight. Later, when foreigners got kerosene, they used kerosene lamps. (There are many kinds of lamps, the largest of which is called gasoline lamps, which are no darker than electric lamps. ) Kerosene is imported, so it is also called "foreign oil".

After dinner, people gather around the lamp, some listening to stories, and some talking about family. The hardest thing for women is to sew clothes on the raft, take the soles to make shoes and so on. Anyway, when we were young, we listened to adult stories as soon as we ate rice. In particular, those strange stories from a strange studio are fascinating to listen to. When you go to sleep, you are often afraid to get up and urinate, so you must be accompanied by an adult.

In short, everyone goes to bed early and gets up early except women who have to sew. Neighbors often drop in at dusk to listen to stories or do needlework together. It is also very regular.

Ma Yinchu, a population expert, also found a problem that many children were born because there was no electricity in the countryside. Chairman Mao immediately pushed him back, because he had electricity in Ma Yinchu and many children.

1. Drinking all night, sitting on a boat and berthing near Qinhuai restaurant. At that time, women were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in brothels. Since ancient times, many talented people and beautiful women have been fascinated by this light and fireworks.

2. Reading books, reading by candlelight at night, the previous four books and five classics, the Analects of hundred schools of thought, studied hard for the imperial examination, and stole the light. There are also book collectors, who can read widely and borrow books from friends around them, but I also found that the ancients liked to copy books and manuscripts.

3. Make love and spend a lot of time. Poor people at home can't afford to sell alcohol, books or don't understand. They also have the most basic physiological skills to kill time.

4. Work. I remember reading in books or on TV that there was a woman who was spinning on a spinning wheel at night.

I went back to my hometown in 197 when the population was evacuated. At that time, there was not much electricity in central Hebei, and most of them used oil lamps. Women weave, spin and sew mostly at night (they have to go to the fields to do farm work during the day), relying on that dim kerosene lamp. It is too extravagant for mothers to "rest at sunset". It is too common for a family to have clothes, shoes, spinning and shoes until midnight. It is also necessary for mothers to put an oil lamp in the mill shed to grind flour and rice until midnight. Anyone who has come from then knows how hard it is to be a mother. The greatest person in the world is mother.

although there is no electricity, students will still study hard under the dim oil lamp. To make parents live a good life, the father's bent back and the mother's red eyes are the biggest motivation for students with conscience and filial piety to study hard.

"There are seven or eight histories of reading classics at night.

Oil lamps often glow and their foreheads are yellow.".

(These are two sentences from a very immature poem I wrote at that time)

I remember this question as new. In the late 196s and early 197s, there was no electricity in my local area, and kerosene was supplied by ticket, and each person was paid two taels a month. I seldom sat by kerosene and turned up the light while writing. By the early 197s, my parents often told me to turn on the fire and use more oil. The electricity in other rooms is turned off, and there is no fan. In hot weather, we only rely on hand-cranked sunflower leaf fans to fan the wind. Each household has a light, and the monthly electricity bill is 5 yuan. It was not until the 198 s that electricity was fully available, and there were electric fans and black-and-white TVs in each family. Childhood life was hard, and it was hard to get by. Let's have a good future.

My hometown is Wuhu City, Anhui Province. Over the past 4 years of reform and opening up, the society has undergone earth-shaking changes. From the era of no electricity and no roads in some rural areas, I jumped into the network era. It is hard to imagine how people lived without electricity before, especially at night. Let's talk about how people lived in my hometown before electricity.

During the busy farming season, people are busy farming, working at sunrise, resting at sunset, tired during the day, drinking some old wine under the faint sesame oil light at night, and falling asleep in bed. In case of "double robbing", I will work overtime in the fields or on the threshing floor with torches at night.

during the slack season, people have three kinds of entertainment in the evening: one is storytelling, that is, Anhui drum; the other is singing Lu opera, which we call singing small operas there; and the third is playing acrobatics, which we call playing tricks. Storytelling is indoors, while singing and acrobatics must be outside. Lanterns are used for lighting, and later gasoline lamps are used when there is gasoline. This kind of lamp is very bright. Whenever there is this kind of entertainment in the village, the relatives of seven aunts and eight aunts are always invited to watch it.

At that time, these recreational activities in rural areas were filled with strong nostalgia.

in the 198s, when I was a child, although there was electricity, there was nothing but electric lights, and there was a power outage for half the year.

I remember that after school at 3 pm every day, a group of children invariably gathered at the old place, kicking shuttlecocks, nailing nails, fanning PIA JI and playing glass balls. They hid cats and cats when it was dark, used firewood sticks as guns to fight between two factions, played with ice and snow in winter and mud in summer, and had a great time.

And adults just play cards and chat. Sometimes there are monkey tricks and operas.

In short, the days without electricity are not as boring as imagined. Instead, live more fully. Compared with the current mobile phone, I have no friends in my heart.

the ancients, on the other hand, enjoyed life more, naturally and elegantly. For example, enjoy plum blossoms on a snowy night, enjoy the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, study in the middle of the night, and drink in brew tea.

In ancient times when there was no electricity, people lived as happily.

in modern times with electricity, the whole people are suffering from loneliness.

this question needs a good answer, not only the ancients, but also we have gone through the period without electricity. When I was a child, there was no electricity. If I liked reading, I lit an oil lamp to read. Isn't there a thief who steals light from the wall?

When I was a child, we went to hide and seek at night. A large group of people, hula, ran to the field. One haystack scratched a piece to make a nest, and one person guarded it. Others went to catch those who were hiding, chasing one by one and catching one by one. The village is full of children's cries.

Children will also play games in the moonlight, and the eagle will catch chickens and throw handkerchiefs.

In our place, adults weave reed mats, peel the reeds (that is, remove the skins from the reeds), then split the reeds, push the reeds into reed eyebrows, and then weave mats and folds. There is a different division of labor.

some time earlier, village cadres held a meeting to hold a batch of meetings to fight landlords and rich peasants.

Listening to storytelling on a big drum, the scene is the most lively in the countryside. People are fascinated by it. The storyteller is a big drum with two small pieces of steel plates, beating the steel plates and drums, and his voice is hoarse and passionate. Look forward to the next one after listening to one. Give the storyteller a scoop of food as a reward after singing.

I think that although there was no electricity in ancient times, they used fire. They will use ancient lights to create convenience for their lives. Besides, there is moonlight every 15 days in every month, and moonlight will also bring a lot of convenience to people's lives. When there is no moonlight, the sky is full of stars? . My home is in the countryside. When I was a child, the electricity was cut off occasionally. I still remember that my father and I could still do something in the moonlight. Although it is not as convenient as it is now, I can basically accomplish what I want to do. Although there is no electricity at home, I won't feel too dark at night, because the sky is full of stars? Especially beautiful.

Maybe in ancient times, people went to bed earlier than now, and their sleep quality was better than now. So ancient times may feel backward than us, and it is inconvenient to have no electricity, but each has its own. When I was a child, my family went to bed very early, so I got up very early in the morning. Generally, my father and mother got up at five o'clock, and our children got up at six o'clock. But now society gets up early at six o'clock. (My fathers criticized me for not getting up early every time, but now I have forgotten what it's like to get up at six o'clock [covering my face] [covering my face] [covering my face ])

Generally speaking, compared with the history of not using electricity, the history of using electricity has only lasted for more than 1 years, so I think that although electricity has brought a lot of convenience and benefits to our lives now, my role in electricity is basically certain, but I still miss my childhood sometimes. Sometimes I look at the stars in the sky and think of many things. In the past, people had wonderful ideas about the stars in the sky and drinking the moon. But to be honest, I haven't seen the stars for a long time. Watching the stars has become a luxury [yi tooth] [yi tooth] (now people have all the stars in their hands, that is, mobile phones). So I sometimes envy the life I endured in ancient times. Although there are not as many kinds of lights as now, I also have a colorful life. The structure of the article is rather chaotic. I hope you can understand [Yi Ya ]

You can talk about your opinions at night. You are welcome to [Yi Ya ]

Old people tell stories to children. There are several people who can tell stories in a village, so they all get together to listen to them. Every day, they are afraid to go into the yard when they go home, listen to ghost stories and are afraid of the dark. At that time, they stood in the street and called their families out to pick them up. Many stories can be remembered in 5 or 6 years, and I think that's how the ancients got through it.
