How to carry out wake-up service in ancient times?

Since ancient times, dynasties have changed, science and technology have made progress bit by bit, and society is developing step by step. At the same time, people's lifestyle has also undergone earth shaking changes. Many items have been replaced by more convenient inventions, and many occupations have gradually disappeared from people's vision. Today, let's take stock of those disappeared occupations in China and the West.

1、 Alarm clock in ancient times -- wake-up call

Has anyone ever wondered how we could ensure that we could get up early when there was no alarm clock in ancient times? Obviously, Chinese people will say that roosters crow, but you should know that not everyone is as intelligent as our ancestors. In the west, there is a special position for getting up on time, that is, wake-up attendant. When you hear the professional name, does it suddenly smell like a real person wake-up service on a treasure? Every morning, the wake-up attendant will arrive at the customer's door or downstairs on time and try his best to wake the customer up with bamboo or stone, so as not to be late. Thanks to the low floor in the past, if it is the current community, only the "flying man in the air" can do this. What do you think of this wake-up service?

2、 The patron saint of the night - the lamplighter

In the "red lanterns hanging high" starring Gong Li, there is a lamplighter in the big house, that is, the person who hangs lanterns in the yard every day. He hangs lanterns wherever he needs them, and then blows out the fire in the lamp the next day and takes it off. However, this is just the culture in the big house. People outside have no chance to engage in this profession. However, there is a similar job in the west, that is, street lighters, whose workplace is the street. In the past, street lamps were not able to generate electricity by solar energy as they are now. At that time, all street lamps were gas lamps. Before dark every day, lighters need to fill and ignite the gas in the street lamps, so that the streets can be brightly lit at night. People engaged in this occupation are like little angels illuminating our way home.

3、 Ancient driver -- sedan bearer

You will not be unfamiliar with the career of sedan bearer, because it appears in every ancient costume drama and is everywhere. How much do you know about the industry of sedan bearer? Sedan bearers are divided into those who carry official sedans and those who carry civilian sedans. The official sedan bearers are paid by the government. Generally, the salary is relatively fixed. The father will pass on his skills to his son when he is old. The sedan bearers of officials of all grades are different. The biggest one is the emperor. He travels in the 16th National sedan chair. In this way, the eight sedan bearers in the ancient costume drama can only marry a young lady to get started. On the contrary, the sedan bearer of the civil sedan depends on how much his owner is willing to pay. There are more large enterprises and fewer small enterprises. However, the sedan bearer of the civil sedan does not have the stability to lift the official sedan. In case the owner's home falls, his job will be lost. In addition, there is another type of civil sedan, that is, the wedding sedan, which belongs to a non-governmental organization. Just like the current wedding company, he dresses up his sedan chair beautifully, People who sit and wait for the wedding to rent it, and then rent out the sedan chair with people. When the bride is safely sent home, they will naturally get the silver money. Then the sedan chair men begin to spend money happily. In fact, the professional requirements of the sedan chair man are not low at all. First, they have to have strength, second, they need to carry it steadily, and they have to practice on different road conditions before work. Second, the sedan chair man can't eat heavy food, and they should ensure that he is absolutely clean and odorless, In this way, the noble people in sedans can reach their destination smoothly.

4、 An ancient teacher - Mr. private school

Today's children begin prenatal education when they are still in their mother's stomach. They will carry out early education or preschool education soon after birth, but almost all children spend their time in school when they reach the age of kindergarten. In ancient times, they went to school much younger than we do now. Their children's enlightenment education was basically in private schools, not unified kindergartens. At that time, the teachers were probably not school teachers, but private school students. These students were also very educated. Most of them were scholars who failed in the Imperial examination and had no luck with officialdom. Their private schools were equivalent to today's cram schools, But now no child dares to go to private school students' cram school instead of school.
