The history of Wuhan dock culture;
The pier culture phenomenon in Wuhan came into being after the Opium War in 1840. When the western powers went to Hankou to trade, many docks were built along the river. At this time, many farmers who lost their land came to cities from rural areas around Hankou, such as Huang Po, Xinzhou and Caidian. They have no skills or funds, so they have to gather at the dock as porters and sell coolies.
Due to the influx of western goods such as matches, foreign oil, foreign cloth, foreign iron and foreign ash into China, a large number of porters and porters are needed to carry these goods after they are transported to various docks in Hankou.
From 1840 to 1950, many porters and their families lived near the Hankou coast. They have lived and multiplied here for a long time. Most of these people have no education, including their descendants. Over time, their language and behavior gradually formed a simple, simple, vulgar and even vulgar cultural phenomenon. This is the so-called "dock culture" in recent years.
