In ancient times, women's status was underground, basically not allowed to study, not to let work, the so-called "women without talent is morality", as long as they are honest and honest with their husbands and children, and pass on the generations. This kind of thinking has bound women for thousands of years, resulting in ancient women having to go out of the door and live a life out of touch with the world, and even the history books have very little introduction to women, so that many of their things are full of fog for future generations.
The most direct manifestation is that many people know very little about the details of the lives of ancient women, let alone what they use every day. Today Xiaobian will introduce to you, the three boudoir treasures commonly used by ancient women, but unfortunately today, one is lost, one is abandoned, and one is replaced.
The first one: a female night pot
For the ancients, going to the toilet has always been a difficult problem, first of all, the ancient paper is particularly expensive, unlike today's basic toilet paper after going to the toilet, the equipment of the ancients is very simple. Not only that, the ancient houses are not like now, there are bathrooms at home, the ancients can only go to the public hut to solve, but for women, privacy is very problematic.
So this kind of female night pot turned out, with it, women can solve personal problems in the room, privacy is guaranteed, and husbands are more at ease. Therefore, in ancient times, people with conditions would basically prepare one, but now it has been lost.
The second piece: three-inch golden lotus
Foot binding is a bad habit that has gradually prevailed in ancient China since the Song Dynasty, and it has reached its peak in the Ming and Qing dynasties. All women must wrap their feet when they are young, and it is best to wrap them into three inches of golden lotus, if a woman does not wrap her feet, she will be ridiculed at the light, and if she cannot find her in-laws, she will not be able to marry.
After the foot binding, of course, you need to have a pair of shoes that match it (as shown below), so ancient women basically prepared a few pairs of shoes for themselves to change at any time. However, this bad habit is extremely harmful to women, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty was gradually abolished, and now it has long disappeared, the disappearance of this "treasure", representing the progress of civilization, is a commendable thing.
The third thing: menstrual cloth
Women's menstrual holidays are not unique to modern times, but have been a matter since ancient times. So many people will wonder, how to solve it after the ancients came to menstruation? Of course there is a way. In fact, ancient women have a "treasure" that specializes in solving this matter.
This is the ancient menstrual cloth, and in modern times, its replacement is called sanitary napkins. However, the ancient people's menstrual cloth is recycled, washed and dried after use, and reused next time, of course, its quality is also very reliable, and the water absorption is extremely strong.
