What is the history of China's traffic development from ancient times to the present?

Means of transport means of transport is an indispensable part of modern people's life. With the changes of the times and the progress of science and technology, there are more and more means of transportation around us, which brings great convenience to everyone's life. Cars on land, ships in the sea and planes in the sky have greatly shortened the distance between people. The invention of rockets and spaceships made the ideal of exploring another planet come true. Maybe in the near future, we can travel and visit in space, and our children can observe and study on another planet.

Means of transport in a narrow sense refers to all man-made devices used for human traffic or transportation. Such as bicycles, cars, motorcycles, trains, ships and planes. It also includes animal-driven mobile devices, such as horse-drawn carriages and ox carts. From this perspective, rickshaws and sedan chairs can also be regarded as means of transportation.

The most primitive means of transportation is human feet. Then humans tamed some animals, such as horses and donkeys, as riding tools or driving forces (such as carriages). At the same time, sedan chairs and sailboats powered by wind have coexisted with animal-drawn vehicles as means of transportation for a long time. Human, animal and wind-driven vehicles have occupied most of human history. It was not until the appearance of the steam engine that the development of human vehicles entered a stage of rapid development. In just a few hundred years, human beings can not only go to the sky (airplanes, space shuttles, rockets), but also go to the sea (submarines), and the technology is changing with each passing day. ...

The development of vehicles is divided into four stages, namely, steam stage, internal combustion engine stage, electrical stage and automation stage.

The steam stage is the period of British industrial revolution, and the representative means of transportation are steam trains, steam ships and so on. , has been basically eliminated. The steam train in China officially withdrew from the historical stage last year 10, which was reported in the social records of CCTV at that time. Diesel engine, gasoline engine, etc. They are all products of internal combustion engines, and vehicles are embodied in automobiles, motorcycles and tractors. Now most motor vehicles are driven by internal combustion engines. The theoretical basis of steam and internal combustion stage is the law of energy conversion.

The law of electromagnetic induction and the mutual transformation between electricity and magnetism have laid a theoretical foundation for the development of electric vehicles. Motors and generators are the basic equipment at this stage. With the invention and rapid commercialization of electric vehicles, the electric bus station has created an unparalleled historical mission of electric vehicles on the shoulders of existing vehicles such as automobiles and motorcycles, and it is a historical necessity to eventually become an upgraded product of the above products.
