Cotton was introduced to China from the Western Regions, so before cotton was introduced, how did the ancients who did not have cotton and cotton jackets resist the cold?
Because cotton is an extremely common thing in modern times, it is regarded as a kind of cold protection item. Therefore, in the thinking of ordinary people, how can they resist the cold if there is no cotton?
Campfires and houses are the most primitive and effective way for humans to protect themselves from the cold. As early as the time of primitive man, humans used fire and caves to protect against the cold, and later caves became houses. Simple bonfires have also become stoves, braziers, etc., but its principle has not changed, the use of the four walls of the house to block the cold wind and cold air enter, the use of the flame to increase the temperature in the house, is one of the most primitive and effective ways for human beings to resist the cold, even in modern times, some places are still using the way of heating the house to keep out the cold.
Cotton is a relatively cheap cold item in modern times, but this is not the case in ancient times, especially when cotton first appeared. At that time, there were no quilts or jackets, but there were other winter supplies as a substitute for cotton, and one of the representatives was fur. Speaking of the history of human use of fur may be earlier than the history of human use of fire, the use of animal fur to make leather clothing, I am afraid that the earliest human clothing material.
Compared with the scarcity of wild animals now, the ** of fur is much higher than that of cotton clothing, and in ancient times, especially when cotton was introduced, this situation was just the opposite. Whether it's dogskin, sheepskin or bear skin, wolf skin actually has a good effect on keeping people out of the cold and can be used to help people resist the cold.
The history of silk in our country is much longer than cotton, and there are many people who plant mulberry and raise silkworms, and in the Song Dynasty, there are silk cotton (that is, silk) issued to soldiers to make cold supplies. Similar to modern silk quilts, it is considered a substitute for quilts. In addition, for some poor families, what to do if they can't afford fur and silk.
Naturally, there is a cheaper alternative, which is hay, the most common being dry straw.
In ancient times, many civilians' beds were made of dry straw, and there were also many scenes of sleeping with straw in film and television dramas. Isn't there a saying, there are three treasures in the Northeast, ginseng, mink, and ura grass is a kind of filling for keeping out the cold, which shows that the use of hay to keep out the cold even in places like the Northeast has a great effect.

One of the easiest ways to do this is to have a stove, but this method is only suitable for keeping out of the cold indoors, not when you go out of the house. However, this is the simplest and most direct method, and many people are using it now. Of course, the ancients could also wear hats and gloves to protect themselves from the cold.

In the cold winter of ancient times, putting a brazier in the house will also make the room very warm, if you add some small hand-held stoves, it will make the warmth rise a lot, but the charcoal used in these braziers is not affordable for everyoneThose who can't afford it will choose to use some unburned firewood, put them in a basin, and bring them to the house to use for heating, although the difference between the two is very large, but the ultimate goal is the same.
However, compared with the heating methods of those who have money, ordinary people are very pitifulEven if they have those hay beds are very thick, they can't completely withstand the cold on their faces, and because of the limited fabric, there are very few warm clothes to wear on their bodies, and every time they go out, it is a kind of torment. Perhaps for the ancient people, they were more willing to face the summer, even if it was hot in the summer, they could use some simple ways to escape the heat, but in the winter it was not easy to warm up in the winterBut even so, in order to survive, they are still making some efforts to resist the harsh winterIt wasn't until later that a soldier discovered cotton that quilts and cotton clothes appeared, making it easier to survive even the cold winter. Of course, today, we already have warm cotton clothes, as well as air conditioning and heating that bring warmth, so we are very lucky, at least in the winter.
