What is the spring stool , what special role did it have in ancient times, and who invented it?

In ancient times, the spring stool was used as a futon when marrying a daughter, pasting wedding flowers, and asking someone to carry the dowry furniture sent into the husband's house.

The spring stool can be used for babies to sleep, so the old system is often the same height as the bed. Today, except in some remote areas, cities are rarely used.

After the Yuan people entered the Central Plains, they divided the Chinese people into four classes: the first class was the Yuan people, the second class was the Semu people, the third class was the Han people, and the fourth class was the southerners. The Yuan people enjoy sexual privileges, and anyone who fancies the woman of that family can enjoy it at any time.

For convenience, each family must have a long and wide spring stool similar to a low bed in the living room, which is the origin of the spring stool. Later, the spring stool was also made into a square shape, like a square stool, and some were equipped with small drawers, but this is a deformation of the spring stool.

The making of the spring stool:

The spring stool is made of Tsubaki wood, so it is also called Tsubaki Stool, and because spring has the meaning of all things awakening and spring flowers blooming. The ancients were more yearning for good signs, so it was called the spring stool. The height and length of the spring stool are higher than that of ordinary chairs and stools, and two or three people can sit at the same time.

It is usually placed next to the bed.

The spring stool is also used as a woman's wedding object, and the surface will be carved with some patterns that imply a hundred years of good harmony and early birth of a noble son, and the legs of the spring stool are mostly horseshoe-shaped.

In ancient times, the spring stool was mainly used for resting, chatting in the cool air, and as a female dowry and crib, etc., as follows

One. Originally, it was called "Tsubaki Stool" and was used to cool off and make a crib. Before the Qin and Han dynasties, the stool had not yet appeared, and people usually knelt on the cushion.

Later, with the improvement of living standards, people gradually invented stools to replace cushions. The spring stool originated from the "Tsubaki stool", which refers to a kind of stool made from Tsubaki wood branches. In the later period, in order to make it easier to remember, the word "Tsubaki" was changed to "spring", and there is now the word spring stool.

There are two reasons why people make this spring stool. First, this kind of Tsubaki branch has the special effect of repelling mosquitoes, and the taste is relatively fragrant, which is very suitable for preventing mosquito bites in summer. Second, in ancient times, there were no air conditioners and electric fans in summer, so people could only come outside to find shade in order to enjoy the coolness.

As an item that is relatively easy to carry, the spring stool can be used outdoors or under a tree to rest in the shade without fear of being disturbed by mosquitoes. On the other hand, because the spring stool is generally wider, it is not easy to fall off when the baby is put up, and its height is also moderate, which is about the same height as the crib, so some elderly people will use the spring stool as a crib. Another point is to use the spring stool as a crib, which is also more convenient to clean up the garbage generated when the child eats and drinks Lazar.

Two. At first, it existed in large households, and then gradually became popular, and could be used as a dowry. In the beginning, some merchants saw the business opportunity in the spring stool, and used the best Tsubaki branches to make the spring stool, and then used exquisite carving technology to create a very exquisite appearance.

Because it is expensive, only rich and noble families generally own this kind of object. For example, in the Dream of Red Mansions, Baoyu was beaten, lying on the spring bench.

Therefore, the spring stool is also regarded as a kind of dowry, and when the woman marries, it is brought to the man's home. It is said that on the wedding night, the woman will sit on the spring bench and wait for her husband. Later, the spring stool gradually used more ordinary wood, and it slowly spread among ordinary people.

In modern society, we often see a long and wide stool placed at the head of the bed in a hotel room, which is similar to the ancient spring stool.

The "spring stool" can be used to cool off. It is hollowed out in the middle and wrapped in a mat, so it is very cool to sit and lie down, and it is also very convenient to carry. In addition to being used in the shade, the spring stool can also be used as a bed for babies.

"Spring stool" is made of Tsubaki wood, which can repel mosquitoes, and in ancient times, as a woman's dowry, it was given a beautiful meaning, and the husband and wife were in harmony.

The stools that were brought out for rest in the spring have been passed down to the present day, and their role is undeniable.

In ancient times, spring stools were chairs made of wood. Because the spring stool is necessary for the marriage and expresses the wishes of the elders, it is necessary to put the spring stool in the cave room.

The spring bench is relatively large, which can accommodate two people to sit on it together, and it can be moved, which is more convenient. In ancient times, daughters were given a spring stool as a dowry. And the spring stool is often given a special meaning by people, and it often appears in spring palace paintings.

Its function is to receive guests, so put some food, water, and other items on it, or usually put clothes on it, which is not very useful now, because people now have a lot of storage space in their homes, and they don't need this stool.

Its function is that it can be used to put clothes at night, you can also sit on it during the day, you can put some snacks, and you can also put your feet when you wear shoes, and the function can be described as very complete. Nowadays it is rare, and it can be seen in many hotels, and we will have this kind of stool in our home.

It can be used to entertain guests and maintain the relationship between husband and wife. No, this kind of thing is long gone.

It can be more convenient, and more comfortable, better solve the problem of people sitting, solve the problem of daily life, and better help people solve the problem of living at home, and there are still some of them.

Seeing the name of this stool, everyone may think crookedly at first, spring stool? Could it be that the ancients used it when they gave birth? Actually, everyone is wrong!

First of all, let's give you a science about the origin of the spring stool: the spring stool was originally called the Tsubaki stool, and the reason for calling this is that it was made of the Tsubaki tree, but with the evolution of later generations, it is not only limited to the production of the Tsubaki tree, but also for the convenience of writing, it is directly simplified to the spring stool.

So what does a spring stool do? To know the role of the spring stool, you must first know the era of the invention of the spring stool, which was a product of the Qin and Han dynasties, when people were sitting on the ground, it was still okay at home, after all, the home is not so dirty, there is no soil and the like, but if you go out, there will be a bigger problem, and it is more dirty to go out and then kneel and sit directly, so what should I do? So the ancients made stools out of the Tsubaki tree, but why did they use this tree?

That's because the ancient people went out to sit under the tree in the summer, and the summer was too hot at home, so they could only go out to enjoy the cool, after all, there was no refrigeration equipment at that time, and there happened to be more Tsubaki trees in summer, so they used this to make a stool, used to sit under the tree and chatter, maybe everyone thought that the spring stool was the current small stool, but in fact it was not, the spring stool was a long and wide stool, probably six or so in the figure below, three of each spliced together, there are few manufacturers of this kind of stool, after all, the chair is more comfortable.

Supposedly, wouldn't it be better to just sit on people's words and go straight to the bar? Why should it be a little wider? This is related to the ancient people raising children, if the ancient children were pulled on the sheets, etc., it was difficult to clean, and at the same time the family was poor, who could have a spare?

Therefore, the ancients put the child on this, whether it was pulled or urinated, it was directly taken to the bay to rinse, which was very convenient!

Therefore, the spring stool has two functions, one is to sit on it in the summer when it is cool, and the other is to be used as a child's crib! So it's not the kind of use that everyone thinks!

The spring stool is used to wash clothes, the invention of the spring stool is convenient, and it will not damage the clothes, but some people are not only used to wash clothes, but also tiptoe and other uses, in short, there are many uses.

This effect can be used to go to the toilet, especially for some elderly people, who can squat down more easily and not easily fall.

In fact, it is to rest for a while when going out to play, after all, you are tired while playing, and you can't do it on the ground, which is very uncivilized.
