Text/dusty history
We travel a lot, and maybe every time we go out to stay in a hotel, observant friends will find a stool at the end of the bed. In fact, not only in hotels, but also in furniture stores we often see stools placed at the end of the bed. Many people are particularly interested in the uses of this mud. Why do hotels always have stools at the end of the bed?
The origin of this mud dates back to ancient times. Let's take a look.
This type of stool is called a bed stool. In fact, it existed in ancient times and was called the "spring stool". The spring stool is Tsubaki wood from early spring. Tsubaki is a wood with a special fragrance. If placed indoors, it can repel mosquitoes, so people call this kind of stool "spring stool". Later, with the development of time, people began to have more and more meanings for this mud, and gradually this mud was referred to as "Yao Ming".
This kind of stool can be understood as a wide and sturdy wooden chair with a wide range of functions. In general, you can sit or lie down. In the past, spring stools were very important for women. Generally, women use spring stools as part of their dowry when they get married. You can put some daily necessities such as bedding on the stool.
This mud has a wide range of uses. In the past, it was also placed outdoors as a lounge chair. She can often be seen in costume dramas. In some noble homes of dignitaries, spring stools would be placed in the courtyard, and spring stools would sit on them. Drinking tea cultivates emotions, so spring stools still have many uses.
"Lichun" is originally the beginning of the year, and has a particularly beautiful meaning, symbolizing a new beginning, vitality and prosperity. Therefore, the name Spring Stool is generally accepted by most people. There are also artists who combine spring with the joy of fish and water men and women, which is somewhat erotic. Although such associations may be far-fetched, art always comes from life, but it is higher than life.
People in different places may feel differently about the spring stool and call it differently, but in general, its function is similar. This can be seen as a culture that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day. With the growth of knowledge, you can explain the hotel bedside chair to others when you stay in a hotel in the future.
