Precious old photos of Qing dynasty: the archers at that time were so different from those in TV series!

Modern archery can be divided into riding and shooting, which is the most primitive and necessary combat skill in China's army. It can be said that there are many archers in past dynasties, but the most distinctive ones are Mongolian and Manchu.

Thanks to foreign photography technology, the Qing Dynasty entered China, and some archers and their photos were preserved. This picture is an old photo of archers in the late Qing Dynasty.

The archers we saw in TV series are all strong and seemingly infinite in strength, but in real old photos, almost all of them are strong and don't look very strong.

But in any case, these are real Qing archers and extremely precious old historical photos.
