Although Jia Fu has always lived in Beijing, his family used to be a sea ship, so Jia Fu was responsible for managing warships. The Wangs are in charge of tributes and congratulations from various countries, and are responsible for cargo ships; Daiyu passenger ship goes north to Jiafu; The Jia family's boats are cruise ships and mud carriers, and the boats that appear in Baoyu's illness are western ships. These six kinds of boats in A Dream of Red Mansions tell a unique boat culture, and different boats contain different dreams and beauty.
First, Jia Fu is in charge of coastal defense construction, so in A Dream of Red Mansions on Warships, Jia Fu has always lived in Beijing, but their ancestral home is Jinling, that is, the coastal area in the south of the Yangtze River, which is closely related to Jia Fu. According to the casual conversation between Jia Lian's wet nurse and Wang Xifeng, we can know the history of Jia Fu and Wang Jia. Their two families each inherit a boat culture, and the social benefits brought by different division of labor are also different. Because Jia Fu supervised the construction of seagoing ships in Suzhou, it was related to warships.
Zhao DOG said, "Oh, that's a once-in-a-lifetime thing! At that time, I remembered that our Jia family supervised the construction and repair of seawalls in Yangzhou, Suzhou, and only prepared to take a ride and spent all their money in the sea!
Zhao DOG lamented the grand occasion of receiving drivers, but the key point here is the most important role of Jiafu in coastal defense. Jia Fu's exploits are accumulated bit by bit, and Jia Fu's role has always been very important. Jia Fu can be a representative of warships at this time.
Jiafu's coastal defense and seawall restoration were particularly developed in Qing Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, the total number of waterwheels was 10455, the highest was 14500, and it was about 7000 in the late Kangxi period. There were 6,406 ships in Yongzheng four years and 6,969 ships in Qianlong year, and each tanker transported 10- 12 people, so it transported more than 100000 people in the early Qing Dynasty and 65,000 people in the middle Qing Dynasty.
Although there were thousands of wooden boats in China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the sand boat was the most suitable as a warship in terms of ship type. Its ship type is large, which is convenient for navigation and combat. It is precisely because of these advantages that sand boats have been widely used by officials and people, not only for all kinds of passenger and cargo civilian ships, but also for all kinds of military warships. Among many kinds of seagoing ships in Ming Dynasty, Dafu Ship is the most famous. According to the historical records of the Ming Dynasty, this bow is very strong and can hit enemy ships. It was the main warship of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, until the middle of the Qing Dynasty, China's shipbuilding and navigation industries were particularly strong, but the closed-door policy in the later period closed the sea, and both industries were rapidly declining. The previous level not only did not increase, but once dropped sharply. In addition to maritime operations, maritime trade is also a trend.
Second, the cargo ship that the Wangs are responsible for dominates maritime trade. If the Jia family is in charge of warships, then the Wang family, as in-laws, is in charge of maritime trade. From Zheng He's voyage to the Western Ocean, the Maritime Silk Road led by Ban Chao made maritime trade once popular.
Feng quickly replied, "We also prepared it once. At that time, my grandfather was responsible for the tribute and congratulations of all countries. All foreigners come from our family. Guangdong, Fujian and Yunnan are all foreign ships. "
Xifeng was born in the Wang family. Although there is no grand occasion to take over the driving, the maritime trade that the Wangs are responsible for is enough to make people proud. Maritime trade is mainly foreign, and it is normal for Jia family to have a lot of imported goods.
The Song and Yuan Dynasties were the most prosperous period of Shanghai traffic and the most developed period of overseas trade in the ancient history of China. "The water in the north of Huangtian Port is like the sky, and you can see Jia Chuan". This well-known Song poem is a true portrayal of the grand occasion of maritime trade at that time. As maritime trade became an important financial revenue of the government at that time, it was encouraged in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, which objectively promoted the rapid development of shipbuilding and navigation technology.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, cargo ships still inherited the model of the previous dynasty. Whether it is transporting goods, commercial trade, passenger exchange and official positions, most areas with waterways rely on ship transportation. For example, 200,000 to 300,000 ships ply the Yangtze River every year. In order to meet this demand, government-run shipyards were set up in various cities near lakes, rivers and seas, such as Kaifeng, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Suzhou and Yangzhou, which are now called shipyards or shipyards.
The ship in charge of the Wangs belongs to large cargo ships at home and abroad, so the "fresh entry ship" used by Jia Jia and Zhen Jia as personal friends belongs to the category of small cargo ships.
Third, Daiyu's passenger ship heading north is an important means of transportation for tourists. Before there were no trains in ancient times, the main means of transportation for people to travel by land was horses and chariots, but it was only suitable for places with short paths. For long-distance travel across provinces, you must take a passenger ship.
Daiyu left Yangzhou to start a new life in Jiafu. She is on a passenger ship.
The scenery of Daiyu's boat trip was taken for a long time, because it not only needs beautiful scenery, but also conveys a broad and sad feeling. Basically, Daiyu will always live in Jiafu this time, and her mother will go to a strange grandmother's house at her father's behest during her new funeral. These are all sad things for Daiyu. Her tears have merged into a mighty river, and her heart is full of endless worries.
This kind of boat is usually a wooden boat. Building a passenger ship requires a lot of wood, and the wood used is different according to different parts of the ship, but pine and elm are the most common and commonly used.
Inland passenger ship is a passenger ship sailing on rivers and lakes, and it is an important means of water transport. Generally, it takes several days to walk by water, and running at sea always gives people a kind of sadness that they can't see the edge. Inland passenger ships have a long history, and the passenger ships that appeared in ancient China are inland passenger ships. Inland passenger ships are mainly used to transport passengers and a small amount of goods. It is also wise to use one ship for two purposes.
Fourthly, the boats in Jia's family, as cruise ships and dredgers, are people who throw themselves into coastal defense. Secondly, as the preparation and perfection of the Grand View Garden, ponds are specially built for cruise ships and dredgers to pass through where there is water in the Grand View Garden, which also has a unique style.
Grandma Liu went to Jia's house to send fresh melons and fruits that had just been planted in the ground. She happened to have a crush on Jia's eyes and was left to play in Jia's house for a few days. Because Li Wan helped Wang Xifeng to arrange a treat at the Grand View Garden, she happened to see that the cruise ship was idle. Thinking that Jia Mu might be willing to take a boat, she put all the boats in the river, and Jia Mu and others just came here to play.
By the fortieth time, the boatwoman had propped up Tang. The boat here in Jiafu is a small cruise ship, because at this time, the boatswain needs to push the boat manually. Wang Xiran stayed on the boat for a while for fun. Baoyu, Daiyu and other children naturally went with the ship.
Baoyu said why not let people pull it out, because he saw the residual load in the way. Baochai knew the inside story and said that the garden was visited every day, and she didn't have time to take care of it. Daiyu is ingenious and can't bear to pull the lotus leaf out of this pool. So she said that she didn't like Li Yishan's poems the most, but only liked the phrase "Leave the residual lotus to listen to the rain", so Baoyu shared the beautiful scenery and let them stay.
At this time, most of the boats people take are Wu Peng boats, which are unique water vehicles in the south of the Yangtze River, and are named after the bamboo awnings are painted black. The hull is narrow and the canopy is low. There are straw mats on the board, so you can sit or lie down, but because of the low canopy and narrow hull, it is not convenient for passengers to stand upright, otherwise there is a danger of losing balance and overturning.
If you want to enjoy the full lotus scenery, you naturally need someone to plant lotus roots in the pond in advance. Fifty-eight times, the wives on board took mud and lotus roots. This is Jia's own boat, which is similar to the boat we see salvaging garbage from rivers and lakes every day.
Fifth, the decoration in Baoyu's room, the golden ocean boat, is very simple but special. The boats in the Dream of Red Mansions are all very strange, but the golden ocean boat in Baoyu's room has to be mentioned, because it brings a short story about Baoyu and Daiyu.
Baoyu was seriously ill because Zijuan joked that "Daiyu is going back to Suzhou". When Baoyu was ill, he was very anxious because he saw a small golden boat on the shelf and thought it was a boat to pick up Daiyu. He was relieved when he held it in his hand. Baoyu recovered from his illness, and Xiangyun smiled.
Baoyu's self-propelled boat is not a model of a steam boat at all, but a small object similar to a toy. It is driven by a clockwork and can swim automatically in the water. Because it is imported, it will stay at Baoyu's house. It is worth mentioning that it is very special. Foreign ships can go to China, but the toys have begun to take shape.
Generally speaking, there are many boats in A Dream of Red Mansions, among which there are five kinds. These ships seem to be inadvertently mentioned, but they can convey the ship culture of China. China is not a landlocked country. China has a vast sea area and rich marine culture. Jia Fu is in charge of warships, Wang Jia is in charge of cargo ships, Daiyu goes north by passenger ship, Jia Fu has cruise ships and dredgers, and Baoyu has a Yang Kim self-propelled boat in his room. These five ships are all representatives. Knowing their appearance means knowing the origin of ship culture.
