Pillows have been used in China for thousands of years. It is interesting to explore what ancient Chinese people used as pillows. Let’s discover more.
According to historical records, the development of pillows in China can be understood through different materials such as stone, wood, bamboo, copper, cotton and silk. Stone and wooden pillows appeared earliest in history.
The earliest pillow discovered in China is a wooden one from a Chu state tomb, in the Warring States Period, in Jiangling City of Hubei Province. It has simple decorations.
Silk pillows appeared in the Western Han dynasty. From the Warring States Period on, hard and soft pillows became the two main types of sleeping aids.
Porcelain(瓷) pillows were the most widely used in ancient China. They were first produced in the Sui dynasty, became popular in the Tang dynasty, and experienced a flourishing period in the Song dynasty. The Song dynasty reached a high level of porcelain pillow production. There is a famous porcelain pillow made in the ding kiln(定窑) during the Northern Song dynasty. The pillow is shaped like a baby lying in a prone(俯卧的) position on the bed. It is completely covered with white glaze, displaying a slightly yellow colour and a smooth texture. As one of the representative works of that period, the pillow is housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing now.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, porcelain pillows became less and less popular, gradually giving way to the preference for softer pillows. Various materials such as cloth, cotton and leather were used. Some cloth pillows were decorated with embroidered(刺绣的) patterns on the surface.
Today, Chinese pillows continue to be made with great care, combining traditional designs with modern materials, to make sure a comfortable sleeping experience.
