描述

《踏水車》選自《煙畫三百六十行》,是附在香煙包裡的贈品畫片,盛行於一九五〇年之前。
天旱無雨時,農人為灌溉田地架起水車,伏於木架用雙腳不停地蹬踏水車,將河汊低處的水引到高處的
田壟裡澆灌菜地和稻田。水車又稱龍骨車,它的出現已有一千多年歷史。
Much like baseball cards, cigarette cards were issued by tobacco manufacturers in China during the
1920s~1950s to promote cigarette brands. Subject matters ranged from beautiful women, Western curios, Peking opera, etc.One favorite theme was the “360 trades”, which is an expression used to mean all trades. This particular cigarette card depicts a farmer pedaling a waterwheel. On a dry day, farmers used the waterwheel to transfer water from the river to the nearby rice paddies.
