I think the word "high stool" should be a kind of dialect here, because the word "high-end" appears here in my hometown, but it is usually a dialect when the word appears.
I have always had this kind of stool in my hometown, and generally every household has a few of them. Generally, several people can sit on the stool. It's the kind of long stool that's usually indispensable when guests come over or have a meal. Sometimes you have to borrow two from the people next door if you have too many guests.
Generally, this stool is used for making. If it has to be used for one purpose, I think it can be slightly replaced by a ladder, because sometimes, the floor height of the home may be relatively high. Sometimes when I have to go up and get something, the ladder is too long and a short stool is not suitable, so a high stool can be used. More convenient and convenient.
Of course, only ordinary people would use this kind of tall stool. If it was a relatively wealthy family, if it was a landlord's family in ancient times, they would not use this kind of stool and would use a better stool. In dialect, it is a tea stool, but I don’t know how to say it in Mandarin.
I think this kind of thing is the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient people, because although our family is small, we have several kinds of stools, including the very small climbing stool. and larger stools, low stools and high stools. Although they look very simple, there are many types of them. I remember that my mother still had several well-made stools in her dowry.
A stool is indispensable in our lives. Maybe it seems so insignificant because it has different heights. Sometimes when we need to put our feet on it, we can also use a stool that suits us. .
