Risciò

Il Museo di Manchester ha collaborato con artisti e communità locali allo scopo di creare un risciò da mettere in mostra nella Galleria dell’Asia del sud. I risciò sono un mezzo di trasporto di grande importanza in molti paesi asiatici e spesso vengono abbelliti con decorazioni di colori molto vividi come questo. I risciò, come le biciclette, non necessitano di benzina per funzionare poiché sono un mezzo di trasporto a pedali e quindi verde.

La maniera in cui questo risciò è stato decorato fu ispirata da molti film sud-asiatici, come ad esempio “White Sun” (“Sole Bianco”) del Nepal, “Paradesi” dello Sri Lanka e “Lanana” del Bhutan.

    There is an image from the National Museum of China with a caption describing rickshaws:
    “Rickshaws were initially introduced to China from Japan. They were widely used in towns and cities. At first the wheels were made of iron, but at the end of the 19th century they were replaced by rubber wheels. Since 1913, all the bodies of rickshaws in Shanghai had been painted with yellow tung oil or yellow lacquer. Since then, rickshaws have flourished in the city for their ease of hire and low fares.”

    人力车最初由日本传入中国,故亦称“东洋车”。曾广泛流行于大小城镇。开始车子双轮为铁制,19世纪末改为橡皮车轮。从1913年起上海人力车车身全部漆上了黄色桐油或黄漆,因此又称为“黄包车”。此后城市中人力车以雇用方便、车资低廉而久盛不衰。照片中所摄为民国年间北平一人力车聚集处,其中一些车上已经有乘客入座了。

    人力车,又称作黄包车,或者东洋车,洋车,是一种依靠人力的交通工具,一般有两个轮子,上有座位可坐一到二人,由一个人在前面拉行(也有的洋车后边有人推) 人力车主要在19世纪末到20世纪初,汽车尚未发达的时代,在亚洲各国的城市地区作为主要的交通工具。20世纪后半以后其交通工具的功能,逐渐被三轮车或机动三轮车所取代,现在主要是在观光景点使用。

    How do you usually travel around?
    I like travelling around by the good old-fashioned way – walking. It is my favourite thing to do.
    Walking is not only one of the easiest ways of exercise, but it is also a great benefit for mental
    health and wellbeing. More specifically, I have noticed that walking helps me relax and reduce
    stress during the day. Walking outdoors, also, exposes people to natural sunlight and removes
    the risk of seasonal depression, which usually occurs in fall and winter and personally, I find
    it extremely important. Lastly, it costs nothing and helps me explore the beautiful city of
    Manchester and its architecture.
