My system is not decent

There is such a story about the origin of the baby pillow.

According to legend, in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a couple who built a kiln. Because they had no children, they went to the local Tianhou Temple, begged the mother to give them a son, and invited a clay doll to go home.

But the clay doll did not bring the child, and the husband smashed the clay doll to pieces in a fit of anger.

The wife was very sad, and when she fell asleep at night, she dreamed of a doll.

When I wake up, I will make a porcelain pillow in the shape of a doll according to the appearance in the dream.

The husband also helped to burn it into shape, and the wife slept on it every day since then.

Unexpectedly, half a year later, she was really pregnant.

The two were overjoyed and thought it was the effect of the porcelain pillow.

From then on, the baby pillow has the meaning of sending a child.

The lotus flower and the child imply continuous birth of precious sons.

This is a traditional auspicious pattern in our country, with people's good wishes for blood inheritance.

What's more, the ancients attached great importance to the reproduction of offspring. With such auspicious pillows, they can pray for abundant offspring even in their dreams.

Dingyao's baby sleeps in the past, and it can be regarded as a "popular" product.

With the development of craftsmanship and shape, the craftsmanship of baby pillows is becoming more and more sophisticated.

Coupled with the child's shape, the naive expression is very pleasing.

As soon as this kind of baby is on the market, it becomes a hot commodity, and the supply will soon exceed the demand!

The records at the time said that "the South is not available for a while", and it was so popular that it was out of stock!

Even though there are many famous kilns in the south and their skills are profound, but just relying on baby pillows, all the limelight will be snatched away by the upstart in the north.

Since the market demand is so strong, it is better for everyone to get a share!

Anyway, there is no copyright protection, so Jizhou kilns and Jingzhen kilns in the south have also begun to imitate them.

Although copycats have become popular, Dingyao Haier Pillow has always maintained its leading position in the industry and stands still.

Because it not only depicts the shape of children, but also deeply captures their spirit.

Of course, the above-mentioned stories are just legends, perhaps a gimmick made by the ancients for publicity.

However, the advantages of ancient porcelain pillows are still great.

In the hot summer, when we hide in the air-conditioned room to escape the high temperature, have you ever thought about such a problem!

How did the ancients escape the heat?Therefore, Mrs. Bamboo and Porcelain Pillow came into being.

It can be said that porcelain pillows are just needed, so as soon as they were invented, they immediately became popular in the entire ancient society.

Now that it is so popular, it is impossible for the porcelain pillows handed down from ancient times to be only baby pillows.

It's just that the Dingyao pillow is more famous. Although the other porcelain pillows are a little less famous, they are still very famous.

Chen Wenzhe's craftsmanship is not bad, but the speed of making a baby pillow is not bad.

After all, except for glazing, other crafts are very simple for him.

For example, practicing mud and carving, followed by glazing and firing.

Besides, he had practiced with a baby pillow before.

As he gets more familiar with it, it will be really not difficult for him to make a baby pillow.

So, as he was doing it, he found that the quantity was relatively large.

And when it's time to glaze, it's impossible for him to paint all the white glaze, which is too monotonous.

Therefore, gold color can be used, and red glaze, green glaze and black glaze can be used.

Of course, it feels a bit wrong to simply use black glaze to make porcelain pillows.

If it is used to cool off the heat, it is best to use green glaze.

And such works, there are also antiques in the modern world.

In the Zhoutai Museum, there is a "sharp tool" for the ancients to enjoy the cool air - a green-glazed ruyi-shaped banana leaf pattern pillow.

It looks like Ruyi, and it is a Song Dynasty porcelain with a history of about a thousand years.

Now it seems that its practical value has gradually disappeared.

However, the shape contained in it, as well as the beauty of painting art, have settled down over time, which is amazing.

"The mist is thick and the clouds worry about the eternal day, and the brain sells the golden beast. The festival is double ninth, and the jade pillow is in the gauze kitchen, and it is cool in the middle of the night. After Dongli puts the wine at dusk, there is a dark fragrance and sleeves. It is impossible not to be ecstasy, the curtain is rolled by the west wind, People are thinner than yellow flowers."

This song "Drunken Flower Yin" by Li Qingzhao is known as "cool" one sentence at a time.

The "cool" in the fourth sentence lies in the "jade pillow".

The jade pillow here is not made of jade, but a porcelain pillow, which was a must for the ancients to cool off in summer.

This piece of green-glazed porcelain pillow, its full name is Green-glazed Ruyi-shaped Pillow with Banana Leaf Pattern, was fired in the Song Dynasty.

It is 28.5 cm long, 24.5 cm wide, and 7.3 cm to 10 cm high.

From a distance, the whole porcelain pillow is emerald green.

The ruyi-shaped pillow surface is like a lotus leaf in midsummer, bringing people a burst of coolness.

It is also like a pool of green water, nourishing the irritability in my heart.

This green-glazed lotus leaf-shaped pillow was unearthed in November 1984 in the southwest of Taicheng, Zhou.

Except for the transparent glaze on the bottom, the rest are low-temperature green glazes.

From the picture, it can be clearly seen that there are four burning points on one side of it, exposing the dark red fetal soil.

This can show that this porcelain pillow was fired standing up.

If you look closely at this porcelain pillow, you will also find three swaying banana leaves engraved in the ruyi-shaped consecration on the pillow surface.

Maybe it's the characteristics of the Song Dynasty, maybe the craftsmen in the Song Dynasty are more conscientious.

Anyway, I don't dare to make any decorations, they are all carved into the smallest details.

Like a banana leaf, each leaf has jagged edges and slender veins, very vivid.

In addition, on the bottom of the porcelain pillow, there is also a jade-shaped frame printed with the words "Chen Family Mark" inside the frame.

Like the current famous brand trademark, it shows that it was a high-end commodity at that time.

Small things contain great truths, and people may be puzzled after seeing this porcelain pillow.

Is this hard and big thing good for a pillow?In fact, there is a great truth in this.

The hard texture of the porcelain pillow will "force" people. After falling asleep, constantly adjust the sleeping position and keep the body active, which is good for health.

When in use, you can also cover the surface with cotton yarn to adjust the degree of softness and hardness, and to avoid catching cold.

According to some real pillows discovered so far, the four corners are worn to varying degrees, while the middle part is relatively intact. This also proves from the side that when the ancients used porcelain pillows, most of them would be covered with a layer of bedding.

Studies have also found that in order to ensure that the cervical spine is not compressed during sleep, the ancients also specially designed a tray for the neck, so that the whole body can lie on the porcelain pillow in a natural state and sleep comfortably.

In fact, my country has a very long history of using pillows, and there is a record of "rolling and turning pillows" in "The Book of Songs Chen Fengzebei".

As a daily sleep tool, pillows have been made of various materials and types since ancient times.

The pillows used for sleeping in ancient times are very different from the current ones.

In addition to the original wooden sleepers, with the changes of the times and the abundance of raw materials, there are more varieties.

With the change of the times, there are gradually hard pillows such as jade pillows, pottery pillows, lacquer pillows, porcelain pillows, bamboo pillows, and cloth pillows, among which porcelain pillows are the most popular.
