有关怡保的珍贵的摄影 - Precious Photographs of Ipoh

.

近打河流域锡矿历史
The History of Tin ore in Kinta valley, Ipoh



感谢有人用文字和图片记载当时发生的事。
这些照片的存在,是有摄影师用他们的镜头带出了珍贵的历史。我们才有机会看到以前的人是怎样过日子的。

刻苦耐劳的洗琉琅女郎。她们需要长时间的站在河里,在骄阳似火的天气里淘洗琉琅。



"洗琉琅”即是琉琅法,是华人最原始的采锡方法。所谓“琉琅”,是一件形状似锅的平底凹形木盆,直径大约2英尺,用一块木材挖琢而成。

洗琉琅”的工人用此工具( Dulang) 在水沟中淘洗锡米,他们持铝制挖掘工具取得锡砂,倒进琉琅;便将琉琅放在水中倾斜转动,先使泥浆和砂子随着震荡的水离开;再用力倾斜转动,石砾亦随震荡离去,留在琉琅中的便是锡米。




於1820年开始,就已成了锡矿业的中心点,更带动许多华人移民从中国到霹雳州来定居和开矿
早在1883年,近打河流Kinta Valley 域曾被誉为全球最高產量。马来西亚也成了全球最高產量的锡產地。

"Cassiterite (【矿】锡石, 二氧化锡 )is a tin oxide mineral , SnO2. It is generally opaque but is translucent in thin crystals. Its luster and multiple crystal faces produce a desirable gem. Cassiterite is the chief ore of tin today."
