The views over the old Chinese vehicles
Among car enthusiasts are those to call vintage cars is a mechanical and historical work of art, but these vehicles are more than one hundred years. Compared to the old carriage pulled by horses, are "modern."
Two thousand years wagons are not, however, the oldest Chinese vehicles. In Henan Anyang ruins, archaeologists have found that cars with care 3000 years ago, but even they do not see China as before. Therefore, the Chinese must have had almost four millennia to go from old basket in the automobile age.
Vehicles used in ancient China were mainly horse-drawn carriages, bullock carts and wheelbarrows. The carriage was a mode of transport for the nobility. Before the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220), cars were a major team battle where the warriors fighting for the circle of enemies. carts were for freight and trucks people commonly used as passenger and freight transport.
In the first animal-drawn carts had standing. Slats on all four sides protected security passengers and also provide a surface on which to build. There was usually a canopy on top for decoration and weather protection. More coverage, the most beautiful thing has been considered. The trucks for transportation of the warriors or criminals had no canopy.
The cars came with seating later. There were usually three, one on the left for VIPs, the middle for the driver, and one to the right of his servant. This provision gives the Convention old left position is more honest.
In the Han Dynasty a greater variety of cars has been developed. Those used by the nobility were sumptuously decorated and comfortable to the extent of power to rest during the trip. The ox cart was used to transport passengers and goods. As an ox had joined forces to launch a large truck consistently smooth, passengers tend to put a table inside and enjoy a mobile drinking party. It is known that some older put their means of transport for a more practical use by placing stone in the heart of Mills cars, which in turn moves the cars.
The ancient Chinese also developed functions special mechanized cart. Compass cart (upper): The wooden figure in the basket is always facing south. Mileage Purchase
Nature has been generous with the Chinese, sending two underground and surface oil. 1000 years ago, Chinese ancestors used as fuel oil from the surface, calling "Water-fat." He considers a utility similar to coal and firewood.
After burning the water "fat" smoke products black, a phenomenon particularly noticed by an ancient scientist named Shen Kuo (1031-1095.) China has developed products for the oil first – a new type of inkstick, the black residue. This black ink is dried to a soft glow, and it was better quality than that based on coal. He named his new stone product Yanchu liquid and the name of "fat water" rather call it "rock oil", which is to date the literal sense of China for oil.
Its position as a government official Shen Kuo prevented entirely devoted to science. However, it is true that the "rock oil" in the future would be of inestimable value and complete applications. He predicted: "From my own invention, this matter (stone oil) will be used in multiple ways."
Unfortunately, the real value of this gift of nature was not, as Shen Kuo predicted, realized until 880 years later. Birth of the domestic auto industry in 1956 brought the issue of oil to public attention, but was not widely used until the appearance of family cars in recent years.
The motor car before in China dates back to 1902. The first car owner Dowager Empress Cixi of the Qing Dynasty. On his birthday this year, Minister Yuan Shikai him sent a car manufactured abroad as a gift. The car, with its wooden body and wheels, resembled a four-wheeled cart pulled by horses, with the driver's seat forward and two seats behind.
Although the empress dowager liked the car a lot, never took, and he is not sure who makes his rise. History has had problems with the dominant driver the car, and was not happy to be sitting in front of her. She was even less happy that the driver was sitting, kneeling rather that, when driving. On the driver arguing with the empress dowager that he could not drive in a different position to that of children, to prevent further problems hovering ministers stepped forward and asked anxiously Cixi not to ride in the vehicle. There are several versions of what happened next, but one thing is certain – the car never has been used since then. It was the first in the Forbidden City and then joined the Summer Palace.

In the following decades, only a handful of cars appeared in private homes in the capital. Not until the decade 1990 that the number of family cars began to increase at such amazing speed. Today, if all Beijing residents in possession of a driver's license is being conducted, the number of cars on the streets would soar from 2000000 to 3500000.
Cars are now a popular topic of conversation among the Chinese, the style, price and special features being the most discussed. Auto web sites and exhibitions have become commonplace over the past year, and models that emerge new at a rate of knots. It is said that these days, Guangzhou has more car dealers rice shop. This does not mean that rice is a purchase less popular cars in the city.
