Hotel soft pillow

There is a saying about these hard pillows, that is, ancient scholars studied hard in the cold window just to gain fame, and it was difficult to get up early, so they slept on porcelain pillows, so that when the rooster crowed at dawn, they would drop their pillows as soon as they turned over, so that they could get up early to study.

It was so hot in ancient summer that ancient people felt very hot when they slept. Ceramic pillows are very useful in summer because their materials are cool and have some heatstroke prevention effects. This statement also has some truth.

In addition, this has something to do with China's ancient ideas. The ancients thought that the hair of the body was influenced by parents, so the hair of the human body was very important. So the ancients would store hair. In order to fix the hairstyle conveniently, the ancients needed to use hard pillows as pillows. Moreover, if the pillow is made very high, it also means to sit back and relax.

Moreover, what we see now are mostly pillows unearthed from ancient tombs, and more are porcelain pillows or jade pillows, so some people will think that ancient pillows are so hard. In fact, they just say that soft pillows are not suitable for burial, and the underground is wet and easy to rot and not easy to preserve. In fact, there were all kinds of pillows in ancient times. In addition to the most commonly used cloth pillows, stone pillows, jade pillows, crystal pillows and medicinal pillows with special effects were also made in ancient times. 1957, a well-preserved lacquer wood bed in Zhang Baocun was unearthed from the Chu tomb in Changtaiguan, Xinyang, Henan.

In ancient times, hard pillows were used, but everyone had different habits, and there were still soft pillows. Generally, the ancients would put some soothing herbs in that soft pillow just to fall asleep quickly. It's also a medicine pillow.
