EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless scene of a Mappa, a traditional Chinese cart, parked in front of a magnificent Chinese temple in the Old City of Kashgar, Turkestan. Dated back to 1932, this image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of this ancient city located in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. The Mappa, a local adaptation of the Pekin cart, was a common mode of transportation in Turkestan, introduced by the Chinese. The horse-drawn cart, with its distinctive curved sides and colorful decorations, adds a vibrant touch to the otherwise monochromatic landscape of the Old City. The cart's intricate designs and ornate details showcase the craftsmanship and artistic skills of the local artisans. The Chinese temple, with its red and gold facade and intricate carvings, stands proudly in the background. The temple, a symbol of Chinese influence in the region, is adorned with intricate details and colorful decorations, reflecting the harmonious coexistence of different cultures and religions in Kashgar. This photograph, with its rich colors and intricate details, transports us back in time to a era when horse-drawn carts were the primary means of transportation and Chinese temples were a common sight in the Old City of Kashgar. The image offers a unique glimpse into the cultural and historical significance of this ancient city and the enduring influence of Chinese culture in the region.
