TV series can see ancient people pillows high and hard porcelain pillows, at this time many people will be curious, such pillow pillows can be comfortable? Of course, it is uncomfortable, after all, the porcelain pillow was once a funeral for the deceased, focusing on beauty rather than comfort.
So why did the ancients still love pillows so much? In fact, all this is for the convenience of women, a pillow is just, what convenience can be brought to people? What other little-known effects does he have?
First, the origin of the pillow
The origin of the pillow should follow the Yin Shang period, and the real prosperity of the pillow was in the Tang Dynasty, the pillow was also given the name by Cao Cao, saying that one day, Cao Cao picked a lamp in the military tent as usual to read at night, just to study some more martial arts, but the night gradually deepened, Cao Cao also did not have the initial mental head, and gradually tired.
Cao Cao's book boy saw the appearance of the lord, so he prepared to serve Cao Cao to sleep, but because Cao Cao himself was very hardworking, the soldier books were everywhere, even on the bed, Cao Cao was too lazy to let people clean up, just wanted to sleep peacefully, so he directly fell on the book and fell asleep.
In the early morning of this day, Cao Cao, who woke up, felt that his whole body was particularly comfortable, so he called out to the book boy to ask about the original commission, and the book boy came one by one, at this time Cao Cao looked at the pile of books, recalled the feeling of sleeping yesterday, and thought that if it was softer, it would be more comfortable, so he asked people to use a more silky, soft texture to reshape the appearance of this book.
And named pillow, pillow was born in this way, slowly spread, to the people here, they do not have the money to buy a good pillow, so they use stone, wood, jade bronze and other materials, until the Sui Dynasty began to appear ceramic pillows, to the later Tang and Song Dynasties, with the rapid development of ceramic technology, ceramic pillows are more and more extensive.
Second, the ancient pillow
Ceramic pillow shape decoration is a variety of animals, carved out can be described as a wonderful portrait, of which the Song Dynasty's child pillow is the most widely circulated, in the costume TV appear pillow, most of them are high and square, look hard surprisingly, but the pillow at that time is not pillow on the back of the head, but cushioned under the cervical spine, at that time should not become a pillow, should be a pillow neck.
The correct way to pillow neck is to hang the head in the air, slightly backward, so that it can provide support for the cervical spine, effectively preventing the occurrence of cervical spondylosis, although the porcelain pillow shape at that time was different, but the height was almost uniform, most of them were in 10-20 cm, and the pillow of this height maintained the normal curve of the skull.
This not only does not cause nerve compression in cervical spine patients, but also corrects the body, so the porcelain pillow at that time is still more scientific, but a pillow higher than 10 cm will make the neck overly flexed forward, making the muscle ligaments too tense, long-term fatigue will cause chronic injury, and there is cervical spondylosis or lumbar disc herniation and bone spurs, which may compress the spinal cord and aggravate cervical spondylosis.
Ancient porcelain pillows were not used by living people at the beginning, but were funerary products made for the deceased, in order to show their status, but like these people who can buy such a good pillow for the deceased, there must be no shortage of money, so why did they also start to pillow the porcelain pillow in the later period? Why did this tall and hard pillow make them fall in love with it?
Third, convenient for women
It turns out that all this is for the convenience of women, once the level of science and technology is not as good as now, once in the hot summer, there is no way to let the temperature drop, there is no air conditioning fan and other convenient household appliances, when sleeping at night, you can not always take a fan fan, so they found that the porcelain than the heat capacity is higher, when the pillow on the porcelain pillow and ordinary pillow after.
Within the same period of time, the heating rate of the porcelain pillow is significantly slower than that of the ordinary pillow, so that the pillow does not feel hot for a long time, which can bring a touch of freshness to this hot summer day, especially for women, the hair is thick and more, once sweaty, it is directly attached to the body, this sticky feeling makes people feel uncomfortable, with the porcelain pillow hair not only will not stick to the body, but also feel cool.
Moreover, the body hair skin by the parents, the ancient people for the hair of the importance can be seen from this sentence, they will not easily press their own hair, with the porcelain pillow, you can let them grow to the other side of the body, but also let them sleep a little, do not have to worry all the time, so that sleep is still very solid.
When it comes to hair, I have to say that the etiquette of the ancients is very strict, they don't want to open people now, they treat women's makeup and hair accessories are very elaborate, how can women be allowed to be unkempt at home? Not to mention going out without dressing up, it is this layer of rules that brings trouble to women.
Their hair dress up takes a long time, sitting in front of the dressing mirror is a few hours, so that after the pillow porcelain pillow, they do not need to re-comb their hair every day, the neck is raised, the hairstyle is not chaotic, saving a lot of time, this is like military training, the quilt should be folded tofu blocks, many people in order to save trouble directly at night without covering the quilt Is the same.
The most important first point is to correct the body posture, no matter in what period, people's grooming is the most important thing, the body shape is to leave a good first impression of the top priority, sleeping porcelain pillow can correct the bones of the human body, so that people in the process of sleeping, develop a good habit, which is crucial for women.
Where does the dignified manners and everyone show off their talents, do you have to show your talents as soon as you meet? Of course not, of course, from the overall shape of a person, the body board is not straight, which is the most able to show a person's temperament, if a woman hunches over, the whole will give people a feeling of sloppiness and sluggishness.
summary
Although the porcelain pillow is uncomfortable, because it is high and hard, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling, not to mention, once this porcelain pillow was still the funeral product of the deceased, which made people psychologically uncomfortable, but forced many dignitaries or dignitaries still use the porcelain pillow, this is because of the weather, too hot weather is unbearable, use the porcelain pillow to achieve coolness.
Porcelain pillows are more for the convenience of women, they have to be mirror appliqué yellow every morning, comb for a long time, have to feel deeply tired, so that pillow porcelain pillows do not have to worry about hairstyles will become messy, eliminating a long time, but also to correct their body shape, so that they look more upright.
