As a self-media creator, do you have an in-depth understanding of hotels? If you pay attention, you may find that no matter how many hotels you have stayed in, they all have some things in common, such as a special kind of furniture at the end of the bed - "bedside stool". So what exactly does this long stool do? What does it mean to be placed here? Next, I will unravel these mysteries for you.
First, the historical origin of the "spring stool"
The "spring stool" originally originated in ancient times and is closely associated with marriage. In ancient times, brides used to marry the groom with a dowry, which would be placed on a special stool and then affixed with the word festive and carried together to the groom's home. The reason why this stool is called "spring stool" is related to its material. Originally, these stools were often made from the toon tree, a wood that gave off a unique aroma while repelling mosquitoes, making them popular among the ancients. The reason for changing "Tsubaki" to "spring" is because spring symbolizes the recovery of all things and means beauty, so it is given the beautiful meaning of "spring stool".
Second, the multiple uses of spring stools in ancient times
In addition to being placed at the end of the bed, the spring stool was often used for meals, especially in ancient times, when people would play chess with friends and family, drink tea, or enjoy the outdoor view. In addition, some ordinary families will also modify the spring stool, adding drawers to store small items, which is both convenient to access and practical. In ancient times, the use of spring stools was extremely high, and some people even transformed them into cribs, so the height of spring stools was usually about the same as the bed.
Third, the multiple roles of spring stools in modern times
With the development of the times, although the spring stool gradually withdrew from the historical stage, its practicality remained. For example, many high-end hotel rooms do not provide wardrobes, only a few hangers. At this time, the spring stool at the end of the bed plays an important role. Guests can leave their luggage or a change of clothes for the night here, which is easy to find without taking up space. In addition, the spring stool has a magical function, which protects the sheets. Some people are not honest when they sleep, and may accidentally kick the quilt to the ground in the middle of the night, and the spring stool can prevent the quilt from getting dirty, so that the guests will not get cold and cold. In addition, when friends visit at the hotel, the spring stool can also be used as a temporary seat to sit and rest, so as not to make them stand awkwardly.
