Friends who like watching costume dramas should have found out that the ancients liked to put things in their sleeves, including some letters, silver coins and handkerchiefs. Because the ancients had no pockets outside their clothes, they only put things in wide sleeves, and some small items that could be put in close-fitting clothes would also be put in the lining of their clothes, but it was impolite to take them out in public, so it was more common to put things in sleeves. But we can't help wondering, is the ancients put things in their sleeves, not afraid of falling out?
In fact, the ancients also thought of this problem, so they certainly put things in their sleeves after solving this hidden danger. We just saw them put things in their sleeves, but we didn't know what was hidden in this wide sleeve. This is not our ordinary sleeve. If it's an ordinary sleeve, won't everything you put in fall out? There is a pocket in this sleeve. The pocket is trapezoidal with a narrow upper part and a wide lower part, so the things put in will not fall out easily. Speaking of this kind of wide-sleeved clothes, in ancient times, in fact, only rich people could wear them. On the one hand, ordinary farmers don't need to wear them, because the sleeves are very wide, which is inconvenient for farmers who often have to do farm work or other things. Another thing, they have nothing valuable to put in their sleeves, so it's good to be able to barely maintain food and clothing.
In fact, the ancients were very clever and had certain countermeasures to many problems we considered, not only the sleeve problem, but also the wisdom of the ancients was immeasurable.
