What to do if you fall overboard in ancient times? What was the ancient water based lifesaving busin

In ancient times, when people fell into the water, there were still people who occasionally rescued them, but there was a mortality rate.

Very high. Southern song dynasty.

Cai Huang, the county guard, founded the early life-saving association and the ancient life-saving business.

Falling into the water is an accident, especially for people who can't swim, once they fall into the water, there is a relatively small chance of survival. Even women in ancient times could not easily fall into the water, because they usually did not go out at home, and generally did not come into contact with river water and the like. Once you fall into the water, it is unlikely that you can expect another woman to save people, most of them will be male subordinates or male fishermen, etc., and the treatment process cannot avoid skin-to-skin contact, and the reputation of the rescue will be damaged.

And there was no scientific method of artificial respiration in ancient times. In the earliest, the experience left by various first-class methods, in the end, more water control, squeezing the chest, pinching these ways to help the drowning person sober up, and the conditions are more perfect, you can also use moxibustion to heat the navel, and appropriately improve the survival rate of people. For example, putting people face down on the back of an ox and making people revolve around the rock, or some simply put it on the stone to squeeze the water, no matter how peculiar the method is, it is to save people.

But some situations are unavoidable. Some people may have fallen into their own large ponds, while others need to travel by boat due to various circumstances. For example, in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were once four or so ferrymen who took a boat, encountered strong winds and waves, and all of them fell into the water after capsizing, and none of them survived.

Especially those special ferries, which belong to the transportation position and military position, there will inevitably be many people who need to communicate and interact through the river. Even in modern times, incidents of dead people on ferries still occur.

It is not enough to strengthen safety management, therefore, Cai Huang, the county guard of Zhenjiang County in the Southern Song Dynasty, did a good thing, and specially found five large ships that were more resistant to the wind to ferry and save people, which was the prototype of the earliest life-saving club, and also opened the prelude to the later water life-saving career. Including the life-saving "red boat", Jingkou.

The emergence of life-saving associations is a kind of social progress.

Classic question: "If the wife and mother fall into the water at the same time, the wife and mother will die if you save the wife first, and the wife will die if you save the mother first." Save your wife first, your mother first, or no one? "Of course, hope can be saved.

In ancient times, after falling into the water, there was a government-run agency called the Lifeboat Bureau to carry out rescue, and the ancient water lifesaving business covered all aspects of practical needs, and the prospects were very broad.

In ancient times, people who fell into the water were generally rescued by boatmen on the water, and the ancient water lifesaving cause was a kind of charity, which was a spontaneous thing. However, there will also be rewards for this kind of righteous deed, both by the government and the people.

Ancient China also has life-saving floating, is a kind of public welfare undertakings, ancient Chinese inland river ferry, official ferries and general civilian boats have life-saving actions from time to time, or have life-saving functions, starting from Chengdu in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, until Zhenjiang, Yangzhou and other places downstream, have established a large number of government-run life-saving bureaus and civil life-saving associations.

In ancient times, if a woman who had not left the cabinet fell into the water, the man generally could not be rescued, otherwise it would be ruined, and if the man fell into the water, there were not so many taboos.

Set up eye-catching signs for the dangerous waves, and at the same time send special personnel to supervise, if there are people who fall into the water, they immediately run to tell each other, and put saving people in the first place.
