History of China Railway
The start-up period of China Railway (1876- 1893)
Information and knowledge about railways began to be introduced into China around the Opium War.
At that time, Lin Zexu, Wei Yuan, Xu Jishe and other patriotic people of insight in China wrote books and introduced railway knowledge.
In particular, the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Zai 1859, wrote "A New Chapter on the Politics of the DPRK", which emphasized the important role of modern transportation in consolidating political power and building the country, and put forward several initiatives to develop transportation.
However, due to the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this ideal has not been realized.
During this period, the imperialist powers sought to build a railway in China in order to expand the scope of aggression from the coast of China to the inland, and carried out various activities for this purpose. For example, in 1865, British businessmen built an exhibition railway about 0.5 km long outside Xuanwu Gate in Beijing, which was widely publicized, but was rejected by the Qing government.
1876, the first railway appeared on the land of China, which was the Wusong Railway built by the British capital group by deception.
After more than a year of operation, the railway was redeemed and demolished by the Qing government.
Five years later, under the auspices of the Westernization School of the Qing government, the Tangshan-Xugezhuang Railway was completed in 188 1, which opened the curtain for China to build the railway independently.
Since then, Taiwan Province Province has built a railway from Taibei to Keelung Port and Hsinchu.
However, due to the ignorance and closed-door policy of the Qing government, there was great resistance to building railways in the early days. By 1894-65438, on the eve of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, only about 400 kilometers of railways had been built in the past twenty years.
New railway news
Lin Zexu, a great patriot in China's modern history, 1839 presided over the compilation of the History of the Four Kingdoms, and 1844 Wei Yuanyuan compiled the History of the Sea, all of which introduced foreign scientific and technological information such as railways and trains at that time.
Xu Jishe, a geographer at the end of Qing Dynasty, compiled A Brief Introduction to Ying Huan in 1848, which further introduced the railway situation in some countries, such as "building steamboats, paving the way with stones" and "melting iron for the road and traveling at high speed", praising this kind of transportation as "extremely capable".
Wusong railway
Wusong Railway runs from Shanghai to Wusong Town, with a length of 14.5km, a gauge of 762mm and a track weight of 13kg per meter. Short for 1876, it is the earliest railway in China.
This railway was built by Jardine Matheson in Britain by deception.

Tang Xu Railway and Its Exhibition
The Tang-Xu Railway runs from Tangshan to Xugezhuang (now Fengnan County), with a total length of 9.7 kilometers.
Built in 188 1 year, with a gauge of 1.435 mm and a rail of 1.5 kg per meter, it is the first railway in China.
This railway is for the development of Kaiping Coal Mine. Under the auspices of Westernization School of Qing government, Kaiping Mining Bureau was responsible for raising funds to build it.
1886, Kaiping Railway Company was established. After buying Tang-Xu Railway, he began to independently develop and operate railway business.
Kaiping Railway Company is the first railway company in China.

A separate province was established after the Sino-French War.
Liu Mingchuan approved the construction of Taiwan Province Railway on 1887.
With Taipei as the center, the line was completed in 189 1 and 893 respectively, with Keelung Port in the east and Hsinchu in the southwest. * * * The length of the two sections is about 107 km, the track gauge is 1.067mm, and the track weight is per meter 18 kg.
Daye railway
