Why didn't the ancient people's pockets fall out in their sleeves?

Do you still remember that in ancient operas and novels, beautiful girls embroidered purses for their lovers?

What's this wallet for? Put the phone through? Wallet, or household registration book and glasses? These things were rare in ancient times! Yes, there were no mobile phones and glasses in ancient times, but when the ancients went out, there were also a bunch of "chores" that the ancients had to bring.

The most important thing is to go out with the money! In ancient times, money was mainly coins: copper coins and silver coins, which were difficult to help. They are not uniform in shape, so they can't be put in today's flat wallets, but only in bags made of cowhide or deerskin. As soon as the rope at the mouth of the bag is put, a trick bag is an ancient wallet.

I used to take a few silver dollars out, which was a bit heavy and inconvenient. If you put it in your sleeve and it crackles all the way, passers-by will think he is rich when they hear the silver whistling in his sleeve! The ancients walked with their hands swinging (Homo erectus walked with his arms swinging, but the robot of 1.0 version didn't) and accidentally threw the silver out!

Think about it. There are many ways to design modern clothes. For example, the whole body is nailed with pockets, from the chest to the bottom, there are a pair of eggs on each side, and there are even a few small pockets on both shoulders. Who can put a pocket on the cuff? Obviously inconvenient (this is the same as the uneasy pocket on your back)!

What is the name of the pocket? Call the wallet! For example, please take out your wallet? To take out a wallet is to take out a pocket.

But ancient wallets are not today's pockets. The purse used by the ancients is today's handbag, which contains some small things, such as scattered silver coins, love letters and other urgent things The wallet is either hung on your waist or put in your arms (inner pocket).

In addition to silver and copper coins, there are some larger sundries, such as account books, books, famous letters, Four Treasures of the Study, etc., as well as special schoolbags and boxes (small wooden cases). The ancients had great style, and these sundries were kept by special attendants (servants) If you can't afford a servant, you can put it on yourself or in your wallet.

Wallet is a big bag commonly used by ancient people when they go out. It is not worn on the shoulders like modern satchels in some TV dramas, but placed on the shoulders or backs of horses and donkeys. It has buttons and loops to prevent things from falling out, and it can hold many things inside.

Finally, a brief talk about sleeves, ancient clothes, if you attend important events, the dresses you wear are generally larger and the sleeves look good! In daily life, it is generally small sleeve. For example, the arrow sleeves, which are popular in the Ming Dynasty, are all narrow-body small sleeve, all for the convenience of life.

The ancients could tell their status from their clothes. People with a little status wear robes, while "workers" wear short coats. Kong Yiji is so poor that the only thing that can survive is a gown. However, robes are also narrow sleeves. Why? Only narrow sleeves are convenient, just like eating vegetables without leaving clothes in the bowl. It's annoying!

It can be said that the width of ancient people's sleeves is directly proportional to the amount of work they do. If you don't have to work, the sleeves will be wider (but not too wide, at most a palm wide). Every day, the hard-working old brothers rolled up their sleeves and worked all day, wishing them relief!

Nothing can fit in a narrow sleeve unless you put a handkerchief in it and take it out from time to time to blow your nose. Hum! Hum!
