It was not until I went to the Forbidden City that I knew something about the ancient people's daily necessities. I thought the ancients lived a hard life. After seeing this, I found that the wisdom of the ancients was really amazing, not worse than that of modern people. I remember going to the Forbidden City and seeing a picture of a woman with a shovel or something. Later, it was specially explained that it was a tool used by the ancients to iron clothes, just like the iron now. Its principle is to make iron into the shape of a deep bowl and then put charcoal fire in it.

After the iron is heated with charcoal fire, the clothes can be ironed. After reading it, it feels really amazing. It turns out that the ancients ironed clothes like this. Another thing is amazing. There are four claws next to an incense burner. I didn't know what these four claws were for. Later, I heard from the administrator that these four claws can put iron plates on which clothes can be smoked. There are many holes in this iron plate. Put it on this incense burner and put on clothes. After lighting the incense burner, you can smoke clothes. It turns out that the ancients also liked to make clothes fragrant, which is the same as spraying perfume on their bodies now. The ancients lived so exquisitely.

And pillows used by the ancients to sleep. This is what I saw in TV series. The pillows of the ancients were all made of jade and felt hard. I don't know if it is comfortable to sleep. This shape is concave in the middle and convex around, which is very interesting. I feel that the ancient people's heads must be very hard and they can sleep on such a hard pillow.

Also, when looking at ancient paintings, I found something like a stool at the foot of the ancient bed. Later, I learned that it was used to pad the legs when the ancients slept, because the ancients paid attention to health, and when they slept, they put a stool under their legs, which was beneficial to the blood circulation of the body and would not cause edema.

There are also ancient charcoal stoves, which are movable. The shape is the shape of a stove, but it can be picked up and placed where it is needed, just like today's electric heaters, and it can be moved. I really sigh the wisdom of the ancients.
