The origin of pillows
In the early days of mankind, you can pick a stone, a piece of wood and a pile of firewood as a headrest when you sleep, which can be regarded as the embryonic form of a pillow. Without any tools, there is an arm pad, which should be people unconsciously looking for a comfortable way to sleep. Of course, in order to be more comfortable, people slowly and consciously look for headrest objects. According to textual research, China's stereotyped pillows appeared in the Shang Dynasty.
According to the Book of Rites, early people wrapped pillows and bamboo mats. There are many records about pillows in pre-Qin classics. The Book of Songs Chen Feng said: "There was a beauty, huge and elegant. Abandon inaction and throw pillows. " Zhou Li and Guoyu are also recorded. This shows that in the pre-Qin period, pillows were indispensable to people.
