Even if I did nothing for the rest of my life, if I had an unintentionally silly moment that was captured on camera and it made another person wheeze-laugh 100 years from now, I would consider it a victory. I started watching the video and thinking solemnly about my Chinese grandparents before promptly losing it at 1:44.

Thank you for sharing this treasure. This is really an eye-opener. Having lived in the Far East, I noticed that the voices in the video are from Cantonese people. I believe Beijing people spoke the same language they speak now, which is Mandarin. Also, the music in the background are Cantonese. Am I wrong?

The road recorded in the video, if I’m not mistaken, is the Imperial Way or Emperor’s Way At the high times of monarchy, only the nobles could walk there It became the main road afterwards, that’s why it’s wide

Beautiful video and amazingly Beijing and many part of China have kept the character and at the same time developed into super cities

Amazing.

I'm not an expert, but I think the clothing and hair styles mean this is not 1920, but some time before the revolution, maybe 1910. At 2:15 there's a woman in the market with a distinctly Qing dynasty up do. The men all have long ponytails, usually braided. That would have been terribly out of fashion in the republican era. Can anyone with more knowledge chime in?

@BeppaBeo

3 жыл бұрын

I don't know too much about it but I believe it's somehow done by duplicating existing frames then playing the footage at a faster rate. So for example if it was recorded on film that took 30 frames of footage a second they would create a copy of each frame so then there would be 60 frames but it would take twice as long to view the footage so they have to increase the rate that the footage is played back so you could fit 60 frames per second.
