Then why are ancient pillows made of porcelain? Wasn't there cotton in ancient times? They can use cotton as a pillow core. Why do they have to use porcelain? Doesn't it hurt to share a bed with a husband and wife? Let's discuss it together today.
According to legend, porcelain pillows were handed down from Cao Cao. We all know that Cao Cao, as a lean man, has a fierce personality, but one of his characteristics is that he is extremely insecure, always unwilling to trust people around him, and even turns a blind eye when he sleeps.
In order to prevent the traitor from hurting him, he needs to stay awake at all times. At this time, porcelain pillows appeared. Porcelain pillows are relatively small, as wide as a piece of a4 paper and two-thirds as high as a4 paper. In this case, it is not easy to sleep too hard, and I wake up as soon as I turn over. In fact, whether legend or truth, in my opinion, the reason why the ancients used porcelain pillows is nothing more than the following:
Article 1:
Although porcelain pillows are small in size, they are cold things. As we all know, there were no air conditioners and fans to cool down in ancient times. Every hot summer, dignitaries can use ice to cool down, and the poor can only rely on a tattered cattail fan in their hands.
However, even wealthy businessmen can't use ice cubes to cool down every day. At this time, porcelain pillows appeared, which are not only small and beautiful, but also durable and wear-resistant. In the hot summer, you can have a good sleep on a porcelain pillow. On the one hand, it is convenient for sleeping, on the other hand, there are many patterns on the lower seat of porcelain pillows, and rich people like to use strange patterns to ward off evil spirits.
Article 2:
Ancient women had long hair and it was very troublesome to dress up every day. At this time, they slept with porcelain pillows, because the height of pillows is higher than that of ordinary soft pillows, so that they can put their hair back and reduce the damage to their hair styles to some extent.
Article 3:
Unofficial history recorded that porcelain pillows came from the Sui Dynasty. Because the Sui Dynasty initiated the imperial examination system. The emergence of the imperial examination system is the only chance for poor students to get ahead. In ancient times? Head suspension beam, tapered strand? Some poor students can do it? Cut the wall and steal the light? I can do all this just to be the first one.
Do you think they will fall asleep if they wear comfortable and soft cotton pillows every day? Can you still succeed in becoming famous?
Article 4:
As we all know, ancient people paid special attention to etiquette. Since ancient times, China has been a country of etiquette. Heaven and earth are teachers, and no one can be less. Generally speaking, if a person wants to have hard bones, he must have a hard pillow. Hard pillows can not only exercise a person's spine, but also contribute to inheritance. An idiom we usually say? Sit down and relax. That's probably how it happened.
Article 5:
In ancient times, there was no alarm clock, so they couldn't see the time. The only thing that reminds them of the night time is the patrol of the night watchman. At this time, a porcelain pillow can not only urge them? Smell the chicken dancing? It can motivate them to work hard.
This is my point of view. Of course, whether it is ancient porcelain pillows or various pillows in today's society, since they exist, there must be a reason.
