History of the Song Dynasty There was no quilt before the Song Dynasty, so how did the ancients keep

The first method is a charcoal brazier, the second is to fill the quilt with catkins and reeds, the third is an animal fuzzer, and the fourth is a musket wall.

Author, our team Zhang Yan Southern Song Dynasty in a certain year of the harsh winter, the great poet Lu You received a peculiar gift, friend Zhu Xi from Fujian mail, paper quilt, this kind of peculiar quilt made of paper, actually quickly made Lu You inseparable from the body, a few days on the splash of ink, while draped, paper quilt, excellent travel to enjoy the snow, while writing a famous poem, Xie Zhu Yuanhui sent a paper quilt, in addition to praising this quilt, warm in the cotton, the peculiar effect, and their own paper quilt, lying down to watch the snow into the window lattice, the joy of the mood, but also can't wait for this paper quilt, I only owe the master no inscription, and between the lines, it is full of joy.

The ancients relied on animal fur or thatch to keep out the cold in winter, and these items still had a certain effect on the cold, and the wealthy could also burn charcoal to keep warm.

In the past, the ancients used linen cloth made of hemp crops, and then stuffed some reed flowers and other flocculent materials into it, and those who had money would stuff some pet fluff.

Warm with charcoal braziers, fill quilts with catkins and reeds, make quilts out of animal skins, hand warmers to fight the cold, make jackets out of silk, and the nobility even had fireplaces and fire walls.

Charcoal braziers, most people in ancient times had stoves, and burned charcoal in them for heating. The padding in the quilt is catkins, which can also be used for warmth.

will burn the earth dragon to keep warm, and will also cover a soup woman in the quilt, the poor people use straw, and the nobles use silk as a quilt to keep out the cold.

The ancients covered themselves with a multi-layered quilt, slept with their clothes on, and lit charcoal in the house.

In the Song Dynasty, when the weather was too cold in winter, they would raise the ** stove to sleep and keep warm.

For the royal family and the wealthy, there can be capital to pursue luxury, they generally use fur to make mattresses, the "Analects" is written "fox raccoon dog is thick to live", which means that the fox raccoon dog's fur is very thick, can be used to make mats. In addition, silk is used to make quilts, which are filled with wool or the fluff of chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits, and archaeological discoveries have found silk quilts in the Qin and Han dynasties.

For the poor, it is relatively simple, they can't afford to use silk, they can't afford to buy fur, they directly use straw to pave the cold and moisture, use hemp and other plant fibers to make the quilt, which is filled with some reed flowers or catkins, it is conceivable that the warmth of these things will not be too good, Du Fu abandoned the official and fled to make a living, and wrote in the "Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind" that "the cloth has been cold like iron for many years, and the Jiao'er is evil and cracked." "It's really hard to fall asleep on a rainy day! There is also a special paper quilt, the filling is fluffy straw paper, but it is too easy to get wet, so it needs to be replaced for a period of time, if you have no money and are reluctant, you have to take out the paper and pound it again to make it soft.

Regardless of whether the poor or the rich have a little bit of heating, the way is almost the same, that is, to use carbon fire. It's just that the rich use good charcoal, which is more abundant and does not have much smoke, and the poor can only use charcoal or firewood left over after cooking to keep warm for a while. In addition to sealing the doors and windows, the rich can also reduce the space to resist the wind and cold by surrounding the bed with more curtains, and the poor use reeds and planks and other usable things to surround them.

For beggars, winter is undoubtedly the most difficult, beggars have no fixed place, ragged clothes, and did not heat the meal in time, and then walk barefoot on the cold ground, it is simply fatal, but it is precisely because of this all year round, their ability to withstand the cold is stronger than the rich, just like the northeast people wear very little cold, southerners to the northeast wrapped into a ball and still shiver, the improvement of their own skills also helps them to lie on the straw of the broken temple, without bedding can also survive the winter, Of course, it is very cold and running to stimulate yang qi is also a method, Zhu Yuanzhang spent the winter in this way, so later he asked farmers to plant cotton in addition to planting food crops, so that farmers can also cover with quilts, which is also a great merit!

Although there were no quilts, the ancient dignitaries had duck down quilts, cashmere quilts, etc., while the poor people generally used reed tidbit quilts.

The rich and powerful used silk and animal fur to keep warm, the poor used straw or reed flowers, and of course, the poor could burn charcoal indoors to keep warm.

Most of the ancients who did not have quilts used animal fur or thatch to survive the winter, and of course rich families could also burn charcoal.

Although there were no quilts before the Song Dynasty, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, and they came up with various ways to keep warm. Most people used to have a stove at home, and after the stove was extinguishedThey would take the charcoal fire left over from the stove and put it in an iron basin to keep people warmThis heating method is the most basic and has been passed down for a long time.

Although in ancient China, there was no written record of the existence of quilts, but there must have been something used to keep out the cold. It's just that at that time they were not called quilts, but they had the same function as quilts. At that time, people called them "衾", "裯" or "bedclothes".

In 1982, a pair of cotton pants were unearthed in the No. 1 Chu tomb of Mashan in Jingzhou, Hubei. The leg is embroidered with a pattern, with a yellow lining and padded with silk cotton. During the Zhou Dynasty, the "cotton robe" appeared, due to its good cold resistanceTherefore, the "cotton robe" became the "winter standard" of soldiers at that time, that is, the clothes that are called "military coats" today.

In the Xia and Shang period, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and there were many huntersTherefore, most of them use animal skins as protection from the cold。Later came the cultivation periodSome people thought of stuffing catkins, reeds, straw and other fillers into the quilt, which can also be used to keep warm。Rich people would fill quilts with silk weaving, stuffed with duck down, cashmere, etc.

Therefore, the duck down quilt that we now think is the most valuable has existed since ancient times when there were no cotton quilts.

All in all, there were various ways to keep out the cold in ancient times. Our ancestors were so industrious, brave and full of wisdom, and it is precisely because of this that our nation can continue and create so many splendid and immortal civilizations.

Before the quilt, people would wear thick clothes or some fur or animal items to keep warm in winter, and some places would build a stove to keep warm.

Although quilts first appeared in the Song Dynasty, many people used fur and thick straw to survive the winter in winter, and they could also have charcoal pots and stove fires to keep warm.

The fur of the rich with the fur of wild beasts, the thick quilt of the poor, and the warmth are all the same, except that the weight may be heavier than the quilt.

In ancient times, people were most willing to hunt, and animal skins could be used as quilts. It is used to protect against the cold. Animal meat can be used to satisfy hunger.

It is supposed to be a fire for warmth, and a fluffy plant such as straw or reed flowers is used as a quilt.

Ancient people generally used animal skins to protect themselves from the cold, without quilts and silk.

The quilt only appeared in the Song Dynasty, but before that, the ancients used those animal skins and animal clothes to keep out the cold. The fur of those animals is also very warm.

The rich used animal skins such as fox skins, wolf skins, tiger skins, bear skins, and the like. The words of the poor, cloth, reeds, grass, hemp, and the like!

Wealthy people, wearing silk wool filled with "silk", the quilt covered is also filled with silk wool, just like today's silk quilt.

In ordinary people's homes, it is filled with screw scraps, which are not so soft, but also warm, called "缊". The same goes for quilts.

As for the poorer, it is estimated that as long as they can keep warm, they can use anything. Straw, straw, hemp, feathers, animal hair, etc., can be crushed, mortared, and used as filling.

It should be animal skin, the ancient people were good at hunting, animal meat was used to satisfy hunger, and animal skin was used to keep out the cold.
