The road is not the road that was given to horses before

As the name suggests, the road is the road that the horse walks. In ancient times, there were no cars, only horse-drawn carriages, and the road where horse-drawn carriages took was naturally called a road. Not really, but listen to me.

At the end of the 18th century, Britain was in the midst of the industrial revolution, and the development of industry required higher and higher requirements for transportation.

In this case, the Englishman John Macadan devised a new method of road construction, paving the road with gravel, which was high in the middle to facilitate drainage, and the road surface was flat and wide. Later, this kind of road took the surname of its designer and named it "Makadan Road", or "Road" for short.

Now that you know, the road is not the road for horses, nor is it the road for carriages, so don't be timid in the future.

No! There is an English designer named Ma Changdan, who designed a kind of gravel road that is easy to drain, the road surface is made of gravel extrusion, the ground is hard and flat, and the middle is high and the sides are low, suitable for motor vehicles, so this kind of road quickly became popular at that time. After Ma Changdan's death, people added his surname to the front of the road for the convenience of calling him and to commemorate him.

At the beginning of the 19th century, after this method of paving was introduced to our country, its name evolved into "road", which has been handed down ever since.

No! That's because there was a designer named Makadan who designed a road that drained water, and after his death, the people called it Ma Lu in his honor!!

Times have changed, horses have been discharged!

In many European and American countries, rider-driven horses usually have the same rights as other motor vehicles when walking on the road. For example, in New Zealand.

Riders are not required to ride on the side of the road. When encountering a motor vehicle, it is not necessary to pull over and "stop". Riders can choose to ride alongside each other on the road or in other formations, provided they do not obstruct moving motor vehicles or pose a danger to other noisy people on the road.

The British Equestrian Association stipulates that motor vehicles should not go faster than kilometers per hour when overtaking horses. Drivers should turn down the sound of riders and horses when encountering them, and the lead lifter should not use the horn to scare the horses. Many areas on the road for horses to walk are also marked.

Drivers should be careful when they see signs about riding, especially near riding schools or equestrian venues.

Sometimes if you think about it seriously, the names of many things are brain-opening and confusing, such as "why is it called a road when it is clearly a road taken by people", "why is it called a toilet instead of a human bucket when it is a bucket that people sit on", today we will take a look at the origin of the name "road".

As we all know, the ancient culture of our country seems to love the horse as an animal, and the horse is used as a means of travel in daily travel, which derives the term post station, coachman and so on. At a deeper level, in ancient times, the wealth of the family and the strength of a country would be judged by the number of horses in the family and the number of horses in the country. In the era of strict hierarchies, there were strict rules on the number of horses that people of different status could ride.

And the "country of a thousand times" shows that this country is a country with strong soldiers.

Therefore, in our country, the term "road" is also understandable, because in the past, rich families really didn't walk, and everyone traveled by horse. As for the poor people, they probably don't have time to create such a term as "road".

The origin of the term "road" is more commonly accepted because a Scotsman named John Macadan improved the method of building roads, so he named the road after him as a memorial. Therefore, "Ma Lu" is actually the abbreviation of "Makadan Road", and it has nothing to do with horses.

I've seen a story before, which roughly says that a foreign reporter asked: Is your road called a road, is it a road taken by horses? However, the witty return is that the road we take is called the Marxist road, referred to as the road.

Many new things are named after their inventors, just like the inventor of the road is called Makadan, because it is the road invented by Makadan, so this kind of road is called a road.

This is because John Macadan, a British Scotsman, invented a new method of road construction, paving the road with gravel, and the road surface is flat and wide, which is recognized by many people. The road was named after him.

Because the first engineer who designed the road was called John Macadan, it was Makadan's whimsy that gave rise to the road that later generations, and in honor of this pioneer, people called this kind of road a road.

That's because there was a Scottish engineer who designed a gravel road, and after his death, people called the road we walk today in his honor!

It is said that John Macadan, a Scotsman from England, invented a new method of road construction and paved the road with gravel, so in honor of this new method of paving, the road was called the "horse" in his name.

It is in honor of the English Scotsman John Macadan, and this naming method of naming in honor of people can be seen everywhere in life, such as Halley's Comet.

The road was originally invented by a Scotsman, John Macadan, and was called "Horse" Road in honor of the hero who created the road.

In honour of the creator of the "road", --- Scotsman John Macadan, the creator of the British nationality, paved the gravel into a road that facilitated traffic and drainage.

An English designer named Ma Changdan designed a gravel road that was easy to drain, and after Ma Changdan's death, people added his surname to the front of the road, thus forming the name Ma Lu.

Because people used to walk on horseback, it was called a road

Because we are following the path of Marxism.

The road was originally for horse-drawn carriages and horseback riders.

This is because China is following the "Marxist road".

In ancient times, they all walked on horseback

1.Ancient refers to a large road that can be used for horses to gallop.

Zuo Chuan: Twenty Years of Zhao Gong": "Master Chu Shen met the Duke on the road and obeyed. And this road is not the same as today's word road.

The horse is the first of the six animals, and by extension, "big". Words similar to horses on the road also include hornets, horse boats, etcNowadays, it refers to a wide, flat road for carriages and horses in the city or suburbs.

Lao She's "Dragon's Whisker Ditch" Act III: "The new ditch of Longxugou was completed and the road was built. Zhao Shuli "The Unstoppable Hand": "He hasn't entered the county seat for half a year, and the county town has changed greatly, the streets have been widened, and the roads have been calendered. ”

The road was first paved with gravel, and the road was slightly higher and smooth, so that rainwater flowed to the side of the road without affecting traffic. Later, people paved it with asphalt and called it "asphalt road". But most people are still used to calling it "the road".

According to the dictionary, a road is a wide, smooth road for carriages and horses. Of course, not all roads are called roads. Where there are streets, there must be alleys, and the road is just a common name for a relatively wide passageway.

The road refers to a large road that can be used for horses to gallop. In fact, no one objected to this, "Zuo Chuan: Twenty Years of Zhao Gong": "Chu Shizi Shen Yu Gong was on the road, so he obeyed."

It is the earliest record of the word road. In ancient Yaoshun, the road was called Kangqu. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, people called the place where three carriages could pass called the road, the place where two carriages could pass was called the road, and the place where one carriage could pass was called the road, which was the road of the old ox cart, and the path was the country road that could only walk the cattle and horses.

After Qin Shi Huang unified China, the car was on the same track, Xinglu Zheng, and the most spacious road was called Chi Dao, that is, the way of the Son of Heaven. In the Tang Dynasty, 50,000 miles of roads were built, which was called post roads. The Qin Dynasty Chidao has a unified quality standard:

The width of the road is 50 steps, about 70 meters; The roadbed should be higher than the ground on both sides to facilitate drainage, and the road surface should be tamped with an iron hammer; Plant a green pine every three zhang to think that it is a street tree; In addition to the road ** three zhang for the emperor's exclusive use, both sides also opened up a pedestrian sidewalk; A kiosk is built every 10 miles to serve as a pedestrian hailing station and a postal junction for the security management office in the section. These gallop roads, in layman's terms, are roads.

Later, the Yuan Dynasty called the road the avenue. In the Qing Dynasty, it was called the big road, the small road, etc. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, China built the first road that could pass through cars, which was called the automobile road, also known as the highway, and has been used to this day.

The ancient roads in our country were all gravel or dirt roads, and some of them were stone roads, but there were not many, and the most were rammed dirt roads, and there were no roads paved with asphalt or cement at that time.

There are two ways to say this.

First, before the Industrial Revolution, roads in Europe were generally dirt roads, and even in the big cities of Europe, such as London, Paris, and Brussels, the best roads were paved with stones, and there were no roads built with complex technology at that time. At the end of the 18th century, Britain was in the midst of the industrial revolution, and the development of industry required higher and higher requirements for transportation.

In this case, the English Scotsman John Macadan (JohnLoudon McAdam devised a new method of road construction, paved with gravel, with a high middle of the road for easy drainage, and a flat and wide road surface. Later, the road was named "Macadam Road" after the surname of its designer (the gravel road was later renamed Macadam Road or Macadam for short).

At the end of the 19th century, China's coastal ports such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Fuzhou were opened, and the European and American powers built concessions in China, bringing the Western method of building the Makadan Road to China. At that time, the Chinese used the transliteration of the English "macadam makadan" as the abbreviation of the road, and later commonly known as "Ma Lu".

Another way to put it:

In Shanghai, the first to come to the Bund are mostly single foreigners, they are full of adventurous spirit, grow sturdy, every day after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, in order to vent excess energy, they want to find a place to run horses, the river bank is not enough for them to gallop to their heart's content, then they thought of the large mudflats behind the foreign buildings, so there is a 500-meter-long horse race trail from the Bund of Nanjing East Road to Henan Middle Road today, which is the predecessor of Nanjing Road. Because at that time, I always saw foreigners running horses on it, so at that time, Shanghainese people used it as a transliteration, commonly known as "road".

The road was first seen in "Zuo Chuan: Twenty Years of Zhao Gong": "Chu Shizi Shen met the Duke on the road and followed." Refers to a road that can be used for horses to gallop.

After the first emperor unified China, it was called Chi Road, and later Yuan was called the avenue, and the Qing Dynasty was called the big road and the small road, and the first road that the car could run in our country was called the automobile road, and then it was called the highway, and the name was used to this day, but the automobile road at that time was rammed. Later, the asphalt road took the designer's name as Makadan Road, and later translated it as Ma Lu. That is, the word road existed in ancient China, at that time it referred to the road where the carriage runs, but later there are still in Chinese folk sayings but the official does not use, and the modern bitumen road is called the road is the transliteration of the name of the inventor.

The modern Chinese meaning of Ma Lu is a transliteration of the word, ** in the abbreviation of Makadan Road.

John McAdam (1756 1836) was a road engineer of Scottish descent. During the Industrial Revolution, a new method of road construction (macadam) was invented, which was paved with multiple layers of material and designed to allow rainwater to flow to both sides of the road. In this way, the road is more durable and durable, meeting the demand for land transportation due to industrial development.

In ancient times, it was like this, so it was named Malu, and now Malu is a model name for a road! The area is relatively large, sometimes referring to roads, sometimes referring to ordinary small roads.

That's right, the earliest road was for horses, or horses walked out, so it was called a road.

A: Not really. In the mid-18th century, the Industrial Revolution took place in Britain, and the development of industry urgently needed to improve the transportation situation at that time, especially land transportation.

For this reason, the Scotsman John Macadan invented and designed the "road" mentioned above. Due to the emergence of the "road", Britain is not only smooth by water, but also very convenient by land, which provides convenient conditions for the rapid development of British industry and exchanges. People take the surname of the designer of this kind of road and call it "Ma Lu" to commemorate it.

Hehehe, it's not true, the Marxist socialist road is abbreviated, the road!

Because we have a "Marxist road", it becomes a "road".

No, the Marxist-Leninist road is colloquially called "the road".

In the past, our transportation was horse-drawn carriages.
