The History of Transportation in China

Transportation Transportation is an indispensable part of modern life. With the changes of the times and the progress of science and technology, there are more and more means of transportation around us, which bring great convenience to everyone's life. Cars on land, ships in the ocean, airplanes in the sky, greatly shorten the distance of people's interaction; the invention of rockets and spaceships, so that human beings to explore the ideal of another planet has become a reality. Perhaps in the near future, we can go to space to travel and sightseeing, our children can go to another planet to observe and learn. Transportation narrowly refers to all man-made devices used for human mobility or transportation. Such as: bicycles, automobiles, motorcycles, trains, boats and flying machines. It also includes animal-driven mobile devices such as horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts. From this point of view, yellow carts and sedan chairs can also be considered as transportation. The most primitive form of transportation was the human foot. Then human beings tamed some animals such as horses, donkeys, etc. as a ride or the power of the ride (e.g., horse-drawn carriage), and at the same time, sedan chair and sailboat powered by wind also coexisted with the animal-powered transportation for a long time as a kind of transportation. Transportation powered by human power, animal power and wind power has occupied most of human history. Until the emergence of the steam engine, the development of human transportation has entered a phase of rapid development, just a few hundred years, mankind can not only go up to the sky (airplanes, space shuttles, rockets), but also into the sea (submarines), the technology is also changing day by day ......... The development of means of transportation is divided into four phases, respectively, for the steam stage, internal combustion stage, electrical stage, and automation stage. Steam stage for the British Industrial Revolution, the representative means of transportation for the steam train, steamships, etc., now has been basically eliminated. China's steam train formally withdrew from the stage of history in October last year, when CCTV's social record ah Qiu also reported on this. Diesel engine, gasoline engine, etc. are the product of the internal combustion engine stage, transportation embodied in cars, motorcycles, tractors, etc., most of the motor vehicles are now powered by internal combustion engines. The theoretical basis of the vapor, internal combustion stage is the law of energy conversion. The law of electromagnetic induction, the mutual transformation between electricity and magnetism laid the theoretical foundation for the development of electric vehicles. Electric motors and generators are the basic equipment of this stage. The invention of electric vehicles and the rapid commercialization of electric vehicles stand on the shoulders of cars, motorcycles and other existing means of transport, creating an unparalleled historical mission of electric vehicles, and ultimately become the upgrading of the above products is a historical inevitability.
