In the cold winter, for modern people, the happiest thing is to go home at night, turn on the air conditioning and lie in bed to play with the mobile phone, but basically most people do not know that before the Song Dynasty, there was no quilt in Huaxia, so the ancients would sleep and rest in the cold winter? The rich people's methods are luxurious, the poor people's methods make them admire, they are very clever.
The ancients also had to cover quilts in winter, and quilts at that time were not called "quilts". In the pre-Qin period, people called quilts "衾", "裯", etc., although their prototypes were quilts, but there was still a difference between the two, 衾 was a thick quilt, which had a lot of fillings, and after later generations, it was slowly called quilts, and the quilt looked good. It is one of the hallmarks of the progress of human quality of life and the degree of civilization.
Although the length, width and narrowness of ancient quilts were different, most of their shapes were the same. They are all rectangular. Before the Song Dynasty, there was no cotton, so naturally there was no quilt. Because of the gap between the poor and the rich, the gap between the quilts of the poor and the rich is also very large. The quilts of the rich were sewn from silk. They are not only warm but also large. It is also filled with lock hair, rabbit hair, wool, duck feather, etc. They put charcoal fires in the room for warmth. The ancient winter rich people really had the luxury. In that era, the dream of most poor people was to have a big and warm quilt in winter!
Poor families, because they have no money, they can't afford to buy rare items like the rich people's homes, so they have to spread thick hay on the bed, put some old clothes, shoes and hats in the hay, and then light the unused firewood in the basin for warmth!
