You've heard of the spring map, so have you heard of the spring stool? This is a stool that is wider than a regular stoolBut why is it called that? Does it have anything to do with the upside-down phoenix?
In fact, the reason why it is called "Tsubaki Stool" is because the wood from which it is made is called toon wood.
The wood of toon wood is hard, fragrant, not easy to be eaten by insects, and it is not as expensive as nanmu. Therefore, in ancient times it was a good material for making furniture.
After a long time, the "Tsubaki Bench" slowly evolved into a "Spring Bench".
Although the spring stool is small, it has a lot of uses. It appears in Dream of Red Mansions, one of the four famous novels.
Jia Baoyu was beaten by his father Jia Zheng because he didn't learn and didn't know how to move, and it was Wang Xifeng who ordered the subordinates in the family to put Jia Baoyu on the spring stool and carry him away.
In ordinary people's homes, the role of spring stools is more. Because there was no such thing as a sofa in ancient times, if you want to take a break, it is obviously not appropriate to sleep in the living room in disheveled clothes. The spring stool is wider and can be enough for one person to lie down.
Therefore, if you don't want to take off your coat and pants and lie down on the bed during the lunch break, you can simply lie on your stomach or lie down on the spring bench to rest.
Moreover, the spring stool is also relatively light, which is convenient for the ancients to carry it around, and it is more convenient to use.
In addition, because the spring stool was placed in the boudoir bedroom of the ancients, it was also a good place for ancient women to talk about their hearts. In ancient times, women's beds were very expensive, and not everyone could sit on them.
It is inconvenient to sit on the young lady's bed, and it is also excellent for the two of them to sit side by side on the spring stool and whisper to girls.
In addition, when spring came, the ancients also had the habit of enjoying the spring scenery. It is really relaxing and pleasant to move the spring bench outdoors, recline or sit on the spring bench, and enjoy the view.
In many families with Chinese style decoration, there will also be a spring stool, have you ever seen it in your daily life?
