It is said that "touching porcelain"
Originated from the invention and creation of some children of the Eight Banners during the decline of the Qing Dynasty. These people hold valuable porcelain (fake, of course) in their hands, and then seize the opportunity to let the walking carriage accidentally hit it, and the porcelain will fall everywhere, so that he can claim compensation from the owners of the carriage and the horse. This is basically a person who is eager to blackmail. Over time, people call this kind of behavior "touching porcelain".
With the change of society, touching porcelain has been practiced continuously. 2 1 century, its patterns are constantly being renovated. There are many forms and expressions.
What should I do if I don't encounter this situation?
First of all, we should call the police in time and seek the help of the police uncle. When the owner's traffic form is chaotic or turns sharply, slow down and observe it in time. Refuse the mediation of "good people" and deliberately tell passers-by to get attention. Resolutely indicate that you want to go to the hospital to check the injured, otherwise you will pay compensation in person. Vehicles can't be used privately in case of local or foreign accidents. Finally, it is conditional to install the driving recorder.
Finally, I wish you all a pleasant journey! ! !

abstract

Speaking of the origin of "touching porcelain", let's first look at a piece of news from Shanghai Shenbao in the 14th year of Guangxu (1888):
This is the earliest record of "touching porcelain", which happened in Shanghai. It was not a vase, but opium. Summarize several details in the article, such as "blackmail is common, looks like a beggar, and it is opium", and contact some slightly related records.
Written in the twenty-second year (1842), the Records of Wushi Mountain mentioned that organized and large-scale extortion groups appeared in Fujian (Fujian Province) and eastern Guangdong (Jiangyou and eastern Guangdong) near Jiangxi, and they extorted bonuses, drinks and even "relocated their bodies and arbitrarily extorted them". These people are called beggars locally.
Second, Chen Wu Wo (1884- 1967) once mentioned in "A Record of 30 Years' Experience in Old Shanghai" that "foreign countries draw paste, but the extensive help is the first, and the public help is not as good as it is". However, the range of activities of Guangbang is very close to the place where beggars haunt mentioned in Wushishan.
But "touching porcelain" itself is just a means of extortion, which is no different from "catching rape and extortion". Is to let the victim blackmail at will because of his indefensible mentality. This case, which gradually prevailed in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, is also aimed at the law. For example, in the 15th year of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty (1835), Li Yuanchun wrote "Qingzhaotang Series", which mentioned that if you rob or extort money without going through the government, once you are arrested and declared, you will be treated as "robbery".
Therefore, don't say that "blackmail out of thin air" on the road today is "blackmail under an excuse" recorded in Shenbao, and it should also be recognized by the government at that time, otherwise it would be "the crime of robbery". It's just that when it comes to "extortion by borrowing corpses", the most common thing in the early days was not "borrowing things and catching rape", but "extortion by using corpses" like the above-mentioned "beggars". Such descriptions are often found in novels sung in past dynasties, such as The Journey to the West, Jin Ping Mei and A Dream of Red Mansions. What's more, as far as the cases visible to the people at that time were concerned, the body was ready-made, but it was also an opportunity to kill people, just like the movie "Blind Well".
Let's compare it again. There is a significant difference between "touching porcelain" and "extortion with corpses"
Therefore, it is easy to suspect that the previous "extortion by corpse" was easily prosecuted by the government because of the murder case and high price. If it really happens, it will become a crime of "grabbing" and the risk is too high. But knocking over cigarette stickers can make a big fuss about the value, and even make the risk after suing the authorities easy to control. Therefore, although there is no clear record between the two, it is hard to say what kind of redevelopment has been experienced. Note 1897 There is another vase case in Shenbao, which is similar to the folk story of touching porcelain today.
Perhaps "touching porcelain" is developed step by step by "burning and burying silver". Moreover, the most common road today, "touching porcelain", seems to have some original meanings of "extortion with corpses". After all, if you are run over by a car, you will only be injured and die, and the blackmailer will obviously go back to the past. Either the injured blackmailed themselves wantonly, or the families of the deceased were in distress because of death compensation. ...
The word "touching porcelain" first appeared in Beijing dialect. Its original intention is that two objects collide or contact with each other, especially two porcelains, because porcelains are easily broken. But later it became synonymous with hypocrites. The original origin comes from the antique industry in the late Qing Dynasty. In the antique industry, there are some idle people dragging some fragile fake porcelain in their hands, walking in crowded places, deliberately bumping into pedestrians, and then throwing porcelain on the ground to deceive people. And claim compensation from the aggrieved person according to the price of the real thing. Over time, people call this kind of behavior "touching porcelain".
