The ancients were indeed very clever, and sometimes even archaeologists can't help but wonder if history is really cyclical? Otherwise, why do so many ancient cultural relics contain the shadow of modern technology? Whether the times are regressing or the times are progressing, this is indeed a very worthy question to explore.
We know the National Museum of China, which is a national museum, with a collection of more than 1 million cultural relics, more than 40 exhibition halls, and tens of thousands of passengers every day, which can be said to be extremely lively!
The cultural relics we want to introduce in this article are from the National Museum, and the shape is very strange, just like the dog head of the emperor in the film and television drama "Bao Qingtian", I don't know that I thought it was a cutter, but in fact, people are an ancient juicer, it is estimated that many people here are stunned, there is actually a juicer in ancient times? Surely this is not teasing me?
I'm sorry that I really didn't tease everyone, but this juicer from ancient times is not as advanced as modern ones, but the functional principles are the same, so the experts at that time were indeed extremely shocked after unveiling the function of this cultural relic, and could only sigh at the imagination and creativity of the ancients.
This ancient juicer is "catalpa wood carved flower sugarcane bed", indeed see this name will wonder, is not a juicer, how to take the name of a bed, is this "catalpa wood carved sugarcane bed" can also be used as a bed, naturally can not be used as a bed, just a title, it seems to be tall!
But the role of the "catalpa wood carved sugarcane bed" is used to squeeze sugarcane juice, it is indeed a little bit difficult to understand, sugarcane in the mouth to eat what trouble, but also deliberately to invent a juicer to squeeze juice, can only say that the ancient poor can never understand the thinking of the rich.
I believe that sugarcane is one of the fruits that many of us like to eat very much, indeed the way to eat sugarcane is very strange, just need to wash the juice on the line, and the slag to spit out, of course, there are many people who are not cold to eat sugarcane, because many people must have encountered some things, that is, every time when eating sugarcane, the inner wall of the mouth will fester and break, in fact, this is because there are too many sugarcane fibers, so it will inadvertently hurt the inner wall of the mouth when biting.
Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that the rich people of ancient times were a little reluctant to bite with their mouths, and then invented this "catalpa wood carved sugarcane bed", which is 60 cm long, 20 cm wide, and 35 cm high, and the principle of use is extremely simple, that is, directly put the sugar cane under the bed, and then hold the movable pressure plate to press down hard, so that the sugarcane juice is squeezed out.
And the poor in ancient times naturally could not afford to use such a tall juicer as the "catalpa wood carved sugarcane bed", which also shows that the ancients really racked their brains in order to enjoy it, and what kind of super-era inventions can be done!
