淘金热

旧金山名称的由来
San Francisco 圣弗朗西斯科，又名“三藩市”。初期绝大多数华人移民是为黄金而来，随着黄金
开采的难度越来越大，许多华人转而从事如餐饮、洗烫等服务性行业。形成了华人聚居的唐人街（Chinatown）相对与澳洲墨尔本被称为“新金山”，贫穷的中国农民把圣弗朗西斯科称为“旧金山”，这一称呼沿用至今，成为中国人对圣弗朗西斯科的习惯称呼。

The Gold Rush & The Gilded Age镀金时代 &淘金热

The Gilded Age
• The Gilded Age, which spanned the final three decades of the nineteenth century, was one of the most dynamic, contentious, and volatile periods in American history. America's industrial economy exploded, generating unprecedented opportunities for individuals to build great fortunes but also leaving many farmers and workers struggling merely for survival. Overall national wealth increased more than fivefold, a staggering increase, but one that was accompanied by what many saw as an equally staggering disparity between the rich and the poor. Industrial giants like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller revolutionized business and ushered in the modern corporate economy, but also, ironically, sometimes destroyed free-market economic competition in the process. Record numbers of citizens voted in national elections, but the politicians they voted for were often lackluster figures who turned a blind eye to the public interest.

中国人在澳洲的淘金热

Gold rush historyThe discovery of gold in the 1850s and 60s is the most significant event in the evolution of the state of Victoria.Gold fever hitsFuelled by extravagant stories of wealth gained at the 1849 Californian gold rush, gold fever hit Victoria following the early gold discoveries in and around Clunes, Warrandyte and Ballarat. But the real rush began with the discovery of the Mount Alexander goldfield 60 kilometres north-east of Ballarat.Mt Alexander (taking in the goldfields of Castlemaine and Bendigo) was one of the world's richest shallow alluvial goldfields, yielding around four million ounces of gold, most of which was found in the first two years of the rush and within five metres of the surface. When eight tonnes of Victorian gold arrived at London's port in April 1852, the Times of London declared: '.. this is California all over again, but, it would appear, California on a larger sca le…'Nuggets of the stuffMt Alexander goldfield's largest nugget was found in 1855 at Golden Gully by some inexperienced miners who had been sent to a 'duffer' or empty claim. On just their second day digging they discovered the 1008 ounce, 'damper-shaped' nugget and named it in honour of the area's popular gold commissioner, Mr Heron.The small town of Moliagul became famous when a 69-kilogram gold nugget was found in 1869 at Bulldog Gully. Dubbed 'Welcome Stranger', the nugget was the largest in the world, though it was soon broken into pieces as the district lacked scales big enough to weigh the 60 by 30 centimetre nugget. Today the nugget would be worth over one million dollars. Population boomBy the end of 1852, 90,000 newcomers had flocked to Victoria in search of gold. Provincial cities like Ballarat and Bendigo grew, bringing railways, roads, libraries, theatres, art galleries, and stock exchanges.In the 1850s the heaviest traffic in Australia was on the road from Melbourne to Bendigo, and by the 1880s, Melbourne was christened 'Marvellous Melbourne' – one of the world's biggest, booming, and cosmopolitan cities of the era.Chinese historyDiscover the rich history and remarkable legacy of the Chinese miners who came to Victoria during the goldrush.Gardens and dragonsGet an introduction to the region's Chinese heritage in Bendigo's Chinese quarter exploring the Golden Dragon Museum and classical gardens. Visit the city's original Emu Point joss house (temple), built during the gold rush, which is still in use and has been classified by the National Trust.Stories from the graveGet a glimpse into the past at the White Hills Cemetery, Australia's largest Chinese burial ground. Pay your respects, trace family roots, and discover remnants of Chinese diggings, including circular shafts, introduced by Chinese miners for safety reasons.Learn about burial customs on a visit to the Chinese sections in Ballarat's two cemeteries. See ceremonial burning towers, read about Chinese burial customs, and get a full record of all burial sites, including names and origins.How it beganThrough the 1850s, thousands of Chinese miners arrived to prospect for gold. By 1855 nearly 19,000 Chinese had landed in the colony, and by 1857 the population had risen to 26,000.Golden Dragon MuseumMake time for the Golden Dragon Museum, a living history of the Chinese people of Bendigo from the goldrush of the 1850's to the present day.OverviewSince the goldfields in the 1850's to the present day, Chinese heritage has been an integral part of Bendigo's history.Opened in 1991, the Golden Dragon Museum aims to collect, preserve and care for materials of historical significance to the Chinese community, particularly items relevant to the goldfields region of Victoria.Unique to the museum's collection and on permanent display are Loong and Sun Loong, the world's oldest and longest imperial dragon, along with their accompanying processional regalia. This living collection is used annually in the Bendigo Easter Procession.Situated beside the Golden Dragon Museum, and designed to resemble the gardens in Beijing's famed Imperial Palace, are the serene and intimate settings of the Classical Chinese Garden.Destinations : VictoriaGoldfieldsVictoria struck it rich in the 1850s with the discovery of goldat Bendigo and Ballarat. Ballarat’s Sovereign Hill is a re-creation of an old mining town - a living museum depictinglife as it was in the gold rush days. It is simply one ofA ustralia’s best attractions and is excellent value. At thetime of writing it was $65 for a family pass and this familydid 10:00am to 5:00pm without a hint of boredom for adultsor kids (aged 9 and 5). Local people dress in clothes of theperiod to run shops, businesses and a school. They are full of historic knowledge and fond of a chat. You can pan for gold (we all got a few specks) and take tours down old gold mines (an additional $10 a family for one of them, but worth it). There’s also an evening soun d and light show, 'Blood on the Southern Cross' which depicts the Eureka Rebellion.Sovereign Hill is a place where you absorb history rather than have it taught. And what did I absorb? That the coach from Ballarat to Melbourne in those days included an overnight stop at Bacchus Marsh and cost a blacksmith a week’s wages. The trip now takes a bit over an hour and a few dollars for petrol. I also learnt that Victorian chamber pots were covered with a coloured cloth, usually red. Why? So they could be easily separated from the white table napkins when they went to the laundry. But I’m still trying to work out what a notice-board sign from 1856 means: ‘James Dakin notices the public again trusting his wife’. Curious. The old Sovereign Hill Schoolhouse is worth dropping in for a lesson.The Eureka Stockade Centre details the history of the uprising with multi-media and interactive displays.Victoria's spa country is less than an hour from Ballarat. The adjacent towns of Hepburn Springs and Daylesford have been famous for their spas for more than 100 years, and the area is thick with eucalypt forests, fern gullies and pretty farming country.Daylesford is charming, trendy, arty, lovely and ‘foody’ with seriouscoffee, homemade ice cream and relaxation with attitude. The firstsettlement was in the 1850s and 1860s by Swiss-Italians, and todaythere are plenty of restaurants, boutique shops, and cottage andcountry-house accommodation.Mineral springs were first discovered in 1836 and there are now about70 in the region, stretching as far as Kyneton. All have a differenttaste and you can take your own glass and help yourself. At theHepburn Spa Resort, you can enjoy a scented spa bath.Hanging Rock, near Mount Macedon, was made famous bythe film Picnic at Hanging Rock, based on the haunting storyof the mysterious disappearance of a group of schoolgirlsfrom a picnic around the rock in 1900. Walking tracks leadto its summit for superb views.A short, pleasant drive north takes you toCastlemaine, Maldon and Bendigo. As wellas being the ‘birthplace’ of The Wild Colonial Boy’, Castlemaine is typicalof an old goldmining town and is home to a creative community of painters,potters and other craftspeople.For visitor information, head to the original market building (1862) with its classical Roman façade.A 10 – 15 minute drive will take you to Maldon, the first town inAustralia to be declared A Notable Town by the National Trust.Like Ballarat, Bendigo is a ‘gold’ city with the architecture reflecting theprosperity of the times.On the northern outskirts, the restored Chinese Joss House recalls thepresence of the Chinese on the goldfields.。

grassroots community就是指“基层社区”。 Grassroots这个词大家一定不陌生，直译就是流行用语“草根”。这种说法始于19世纪处于淘金热的美国，当时盛传山脉土壤表层草根生长茂盛的地方，下面就蕴藏着黄金。后来“草根”一词引入社会学领域，就被赋予了“基层”的内涵。人们平常说到的一些民间组织，非政府组织等等一般都可以看作是“草根阶层”。同主流、精英文化或精英阶层相对应的弱势阶层也可以被称为“草根”。

New methods of transportation developed as steamships came into regular service. By 1869 railroads were built across the country from California to the eastern United States. Agriculture and ranching expanded throughout the state to meet the needs of the settlers. At the beginning of the Gold Rush, there was no law regarding property rights in the goldfields and a system of "staking claims" was developed. The Gold Rush also had negative effects: Native Americans were attacked and pushed off their lands and the mining has caused environmental harm. An estimated 100,000 California Indians died between 1848 and 1868 as a result of American immigration.

The California Gold Rush (1848–1855) began on January 24, 1848, when gold was found by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California . The first to hear confirmed information of the gold rush were the people in Oregon, the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii), and Latin America, who were the first to start flocking to the state in late 1848. All in all, the news of gold brought some 300,000 people to California from the rest of the United States and abroad . Of the 300,000, approximately half arrived by sea and half came from the east overland on the California Trail and the Gila River trail.
4
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, there were several major gold rushes. The permanent wealth that resulted was distributed widely because of reduced migration costs and low barriers to entry. While gold mining itself was unprofitable for most diggers and mine owners, some people made large fortunes, and the merchants and transportation facilities made large profits. The resulting increase in the world's gold supply stimulated global trade and investment. Historians have written extensively about the migration, trade, colonization, and environmental history associated with gold rushes.

【世界博览】来自冰原荒野的呼唤：克朗代克的淘金大冒险

【世界博览】来自冰原荒野的呼唤：克朗代克的淘金大冒险在19世纪90年代克朗代克淘金热(Klondike gold rush)期间，10万名淘金者试图徒步或乘坐自制小船，穿越这片荒凉的原野。

然而在等候着他们的是致命的灾难。

一、来自北方的黄金诱惑广袤的加拿大育空地区，面积比加利福尼亚州还大，却只有3.3万居民，冰川覆盖的山脉、冰冻的湖泊、宽阔的冰原和云杉林构成了此地严峻的景观。

纵眼望去，低山和冻原延伸开来，盘踞着一条冰冻的大河。

道森市蜂拥而至育空地区的淘金者们孤注一掷的想要到达道森市周边的金矿，但这趟旅程耗时超过两个月，非常艰巨和危险，只有3万人成功抵达。

在第一波淘金浪潮中，有一位来自旧金山，21岁，叫做杰克·伦敦(Jack London)的敦实强壮的年轻人。

来寻找黄金的他，却找到了成就史上最成功的文学事业之一的灵感和素材。

他著名的描写育空地区的书《野性的呼唤》已被翻译成近100种语言，并将于2020年2月以电影形式上映，哈里森·福特将在片中饰演一名克朗代克的淘金者。

这是这部1903年的小说第九次被改编成电影或电视剧。

电脑成像等最新技术让现在的电影制作人不用离开加州就能拍摄出所有剧集，然而你也无法指责他们不去真实的育空地区拍摄。

夏天，那里20个小时日照的优势被成群的蚊子和其他挑战所抵消。

故事大部分情节发生的隆冬时节，太阳升不到地平线以上，气温突破零下50，60，甚至70华氏度。

在那种天气，即使是最烈的威士忌酒也会冻结，一个人吐出的唾沫到达雪地之前就会变成冰。

1897年7月，波特兰号和埃克塞尔西奥号轮船分别停靠在西雅图和旧金山的港口，矿工们从跳板上搬下三吨从遥远的加拿大西北部挖来的黄金。

报纸和电话使这一消息迅速传播，并引发了历史上规模最大、最疯狂、最富妄想性的淘金热之一。
