I. Clothing
1. Before the reform and opening up: plain and monotonous
Prior to the reform and opening up, the people's clothing is a colorful burlap, khaki, haichang blue is almost filled with the city and countryside. From the countryside to the city, it was blue, gray and black, and everyone was dressed in industrial and agricultural clothes and Zhongshan suits. All of China was living in such a monotonous and boring dress age, so it was jokingly called "blue ants" by foreigners.
2. Since the reform and opening up: colorful, fashionable and personalized
Since the reform and opening up, the color and style of clothes have become more diversified, and the fabrics and textures have also changed a lot. With the development of the times, people are wearing more and more rich, the color has become colorful from a single blue gray. The pursuit of personality and fashion has become the new fashion.
Second, food
1. Before the reform and opening up - very much improved, but the lack of food monotonous, prevalent tickets, people's nutrition is insufficient, some rural areas have not solved the basic problem of subsistence.
Food stamps are a product of the planned economy. In the era of the prevalence of stamps, it was also an era of material shortages, and it was only during the Chinese New Year festivals that people were able to buy some cakes, candies and dried fruits with the stamps, and the quantities were extremely small.
2. Since the reform and opening up - not only eat enough, but also eat well, balanced nutrition, coarse and fine mix, green food y rooted in people's hearts.
Today, our material life has been greatly enriched, food courts, supermarkets, hypermarkets, a wide range of food available. People's demand for food is also higher and higher, not only to "eat well", but also to eat healthy, scientific and hygienic concepts y rooted in people's hearts. People pay attention to balanced nutrition, coarse and fine with light taste, to eat more vegetables and fruits, less high-fat and high-cholesterol food. In the past, because of the lack of food used to fill the hunger of wild vegetables, coarse grains, but now has become the table of healthy food.
The improvement in people's living standards reflects the further development of social productive forces and the prosperity of the socialist market economy since the reform and opening up.
Three, live
1. Just the founding of the country period - living conditions are very poor urban residents, most of the residential area is small, simple facilities. Such as the north of the compound, the south of the pavilion, etc., very crowded and cluttered, the house is small enough to give people a sense of oppression. In the countryside, most of the adobe houses and kilns in the northern hinterland and thatched roof houses in the south are dilapidated, in disrepair and in a precarious condition. People and animals sometimes live together in the same room, and hygiene conditions are poor.
2. Before the reform and opening up - continuous improvement, but the living conditions are still poor style uniform monotonous flat houses replaced the early founding of the country's dilapidated homes. The shabby roofs were replaced by fish-scaled tiles, and the walls were no longer made of stone bricks, but flat and white walls made of lime. However, the interior of the house is seldom decorated, with only basic furniture such as beds, tables and chairs, making it look simple and clean, with a sense of harmony and serenity.
3. Since the reform and opening up of China, the living area has been expanded and the living conditions have been significantly improved
The old-fashioned ordinary houses can no longer satisfy the people's living needs, and new types of houses have emerged.
Three decades of reform and opening up, so that the Chinese people's housing conditions have made several leaps, from the Home Owners "worry" their houses to the development of today's Home Owners "excellent" their houses, most people live in hundreds of square meters of spacious buildings, part of the benefits of the reform and opening up policy and the first to get rich. Some of the families who have benefited from the reform and opening-up policy and become rich first own villas with millions or tens of millions of dollars, and the way of living
has changed from "living in public housing and paying rent" to private property with clear property rights, which was unimaginable in the past.
Four, line
1. Just built the country period - transportation is not convenient
Big cities (such as Beijing, Shanghai), trams, cars are more common, yellow buses, bicycles are more common means of transportation. In general in small and medium-sized cities, there are a small number of bicycles and rickshaws. In the countryside, there are horse-drawn carts and rickshaws in the north, boats and oxcarts in the south, and walking is the most common way of traveling.
2. Before Reform and Opening Up - Some Improvement, but Bicycle is the Main One
Prior to Reform and Opening Up, the transportation resources in the city were extremely limited, and the only means of transportation that people could use to get around were buses and bicycles, in addition to walking on their own two feet. But the bus lines were few, and the carriages were often overcrowded. In contrast, the most convenient means of transportation was of course the bicycle, and China was once called the "Kingdom of the Bicycle", which shows how much people relied on bicycles. But the roads were also very poorly constructed at the time, which caused a lot of inconvenience in people's daily lives.
3. Since the reform and opening up - transportation conditions have improved significantly, and the number of railroads, highways and air routes has grown rapidly
Highways are a major symbol of a country's transportation modernization. The number of highways has also become an indicator of the degree of economic development. In addition to inter-provincial highways, many provinces and regions are building short- and medium-range highways within their regions, forming a highway network covering the whole country. Nowadays, the roads of modern metropolises are full of life, with crowds of people and traffic. These means of transportation are also varied, the increase in bus routes, improved facilities (not only ordinary buses, but also more advanced luxury buses, double-decker buses, the car is also installed with air-conditioning, mobile TV); cab is at your fingertips, private cars are not uncommon, the subway, the light rail and other new means of transportation appeared
