The ancients also paid attention to the size of quilts when they got married, but they paid more attention to materials. Other people's quilts are made of silk and satin, and the so-called "brocade quilt", "yee quilt" and "Luo quilt" all belong to this kind of high-grade quilt. According to the Old Stories of the East Palace cited in Taiping Yulan, the King of Jin had a "crimson quilt". When the prince gets married, he will also prepare for his concubine: "One colorful quilt, one embroidered quilt and four or five embroidered quilts."
The wedding quilt is also called "double quilt" and "Yuanyang quilt", commonly known as "Yuanyang quilt". Among the 19 ancient poems in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is a poem "Guests come from afar" called "Acacia quilt": "Yuanyang, cut into Acacia quilt. With Sauvignon Blanc, the fate is insoluble. " Liu Hanxin's Miscellaneous Notes on Xijing records that when Zhao became the second queen of Emperor Zhao of Han Dynasty, his sister Zhao Hede sent a batch of high-grade items, including "Yuanyang quilt" and "Yuanyang mattress".
The most famous mandarin duck quilt in ancient times was Meng Changjun, the master of Houshu. According to Zong Yi's Record of Dropping out of Farming in Nancun: "The Moon is the brocade quilt of the Lord of Meng Shu. Today it is three silk wide and woven by one shuttle." The reason why Tao wrote down Meng Changjun's mandarin duck quilt is because the shape of this double quilt is very special, which existed in ancient and modern times: "The quilt is two points on the head. If it is moire, it can be covered on the neck and knocked. Like a collar, the jade gold on both sides covers the shoulders. " Dig the quilt head into a collar and cover it on your body, just revealing two heads.
