Ironing history

1. The development history of irons We usually have steam irons, as well as irons with water, charcoal and sandwiches ... Antique irons have no memory of the younger generation.

Through the Millennium, let's sort out the history of iron again. The earliest history of China's invention of iron as a torture device can be traced back to Shang Dynasty. It was invented as an instrument of torture, specially used for scalding people's skin, which reminds people of the story that cruel Shang Zhouwang branded loyal ministers.

Iron was only used to iron clothes in Han Dynasty, and it became popular in Ming and Qing Dynasties. According to archaeological research, China's ancient ironware was invented 1600 years earlier than that of foreign countries, making it the first country in the world to invent and use ironware.

Iron for ironing clothes appeared in China in the Han Dynasty (AD 2). Tu Yuji of the Jin Dynasty wrote: "Medicine pestle, bathtub, iron ... are all urgent needs of the people."

It can be seen that the iron was already a folk household appliance at that time. According to the introduction of "Bronze Dictionary", the ironware in the Han and Wei Dynasties was made of bronze, and some ironware was engraved with the inscription "Iron Dress", indicating that people at that time already knew the purpose of iron.

There are two explanations about the origin of the name "Tie" in ancient Chinese. One is to take the symbol of Beidou, which is explained in Shuo Wen Jie Zi in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "Dou, pictographic handle"; In the Qing Dynasty, the Notes on Explaining Characters in Shuo Wen wrote: "Up is like a bucket, down is like a handle. If the bucket has a handle, cover the Beidou. " Second, iron looks like a bucket.

There are also ironware called "fire bucket" and "golden bucket". Because ancient irons didn't use electricity, red-hot charcoal was put in the iron, and it was burned at the bottom of the iron before being used, so it was also called "fire bucket".

"Golden bucket" refers to a very delicate iron, not an ordinary folk product, which can only be enjoyed by royalty. In some local laundries, carbon irons are still used because of special needs or lack of electricity.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the electric iron was born. Europeans have been ironing their clothes since17th century. They use a heavy "flat iron" to iron clothes after heating in a fire or a hot metal plate, but this ironing is easy to make the iron too hot and burn clothes. The worry about this matter is that the iron block has not been fully heated when ironing is started.

Sometimes the iron handle is very hot. This means that people often hurt themselves while ironing clothes.

/kloc-in the 0/9th century, hollow iron was adopted in Europe, in which hot water or residual coal fire was put, and the situation improved slightly. Look at the French iron made by 1906. This is a very simple device, and no heating accessory is suitable for modern irons.

This means that it is almost as difficult to use as the old-fashioned "flat iron" except that you don't have to heat the fire first. New york inventor Henry? W? Lucy changed everything yesterday.

He invented the first electric iron in 1882. It is equipped with wired components.

When the current passes through, the conductor will heat up, which is the same as that of a traditional electric furnace. The problem with seeley iron is that when it appeared, only a few families had electricity.

Therefore, many people continue to use "flat iron" and enter the 20th century. 19 13, the famous French company "calori" launched the world's first electric iron design sample.

However, it was not until 1924 that the first practical electric iron was taken away by the American Gifford. The rolling mill was successfully developed. The first steam iron appeared in new york on 1926, and its steam jet kept the fabric being ironed moist. The steam iron is made by a company called "Eldec".

After that, the steam electric iron entered the homes of ordinary people. At 1932, an electric iron with adjustable temperature appeared.

1953, the spray steam electric iron came out. Handy modern electric irons At present, there are two kinds of electric irons that are produced and used more in China: ordinary type and ordinary type.

It is mainly composed of a bottom plate, a heating element, a pressing iron, a temperature regulating device, a cover and other parts. The bottom plate is made of cast iron or aluminum alloy, and some electric heating elements are mica skeleton. In recent years, PTC elements have been used as heating elements, which can not only save electricity, but also automatically adjust the temperature. The problem of unreliable temperature control quality of bimetallic thermostat in old products is avoided. There are also new types of electric irons, such as jet type, spray type, constant temperature type, electrolytic steam type, etc., with high power, portability, automatic temperature regulation, steam jet or spray. Pursuing beauty is the development direction of a new generation of electric irons.

The old electric iron needs to spray water on the clothes from time to time because of the rising temperature, otherwise the clothes will burn easily. Nowadays, electric irons have been replaced by guns, which not only increases the function of automatic water spraying and cleaning, but also designs different working temperatures for clothes with different textures, which is convenient to use.

Nowadays, many electric irons have steam function. After steam injection, clothes can be sterilized and the elasticity of clothes can be restored. Sweaters with loose cuffs can also be restored to their original state by floating ironing, and even the odor such as cigarettes can be eliminated. Some electric irons also have their own iron collecting boxes, which are exquisite in appearance and convenient to carry, and can collect various types of electric irons. The heat-resistant inner layer can withstand high temperatures up to 260 degrees Celsius, ensuring the safety of the elderly and children.

In addition, some electric irons are novel in design. There is an electric iron with a fully transparent water tank, which is detachable and used for dry ironing the inner hole of the sleeve; Its titanium base plate improves the smoothness of the electric iron, is more wear-resistant and durable, irons more smoothly, and wears less clothes.

Automatic power-off device, to avoid inadvertently ironing clothes, to ensure home safety. There is also a steam ironing machine, which can clean and iron silk, wool, sweaters, cashmere sweaters and other fabrics. And its uniqueness lies in that it can quickly iron fabrics that are not easy to iron with ordinary irons, such as curtains and wedding dresses.

This kind of iron has changed the clumsiness, dexterity and simplicity of the traditional horizontal iron. Hang up the machine to separate the water storage device, increase the water storage capacity, prolong the continuous use time, and eliminate the fatigue caused by the heavy hand feeling of directly storing water in the iron.

It is nothing new for future digital electric irons to listen to music while working. However, if there is a kind of household appliances that can use music players, have you heard of it? For example, a "digital player" supplies power to an electric iron.

This electric iron is undoubtedly the most exaggerated one of the iPod accessories. It is no exaggeration to say that "electric iron" is an accessory of digital products, because it only needs water.

2. The history of iron The origin of the name iron is because it symbolizes Beidou, and the shape of iron is like an ancient cooker "iron".

An iron is like a pot without feet. Before ironing, put the red-hot charcoal into the iron and use it until the bottom is hot, so it is also called "fire bucket". There are also ironware called "Beidou" and "Golden Bucket".

"Golden barrel" is a kind of iron refined by gold plating process. It is not an ordinary folk product. Its earliest history can be traced back to Shang Dynasty. It was invented as an instrument of torture, specially used for scalding people's skin, which reminds people of the cruel story of Shang Zhouwang's loyal minister. Iron was only used to iron clothes in Han Dynasty, and it became popular in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

According to archaeological research, China's ancient ironware was invented 1600 years earlier than that of foreign countries, making it the first country in the world to invent and use ironware. Irons for ironing clothes were already household appliances in the Han Dynasty.

The ironware in the Han and Wei Dynasties was made of bronze with a wide mouth and a long handle. Some irons are engraved with the words "iron straightens clothes".

Clothes ironing appliance. In ancient times, it was called "iron", also known as "fire bucket" and "golden bucket"

In ancient times, some copper irons had the inscription "Iron for ironing clothes", which indicated that it was a device for ironing clothes. In the Han Dynasty in China, iron was a household appliance.

The ironware in the Han and Wei Dynasties was made of bronze with a wide mouth and a long handle. Some irons are engraved with the words "iron straightens clothes".

About16th century, Dutch tailors used a large hollow box iron and put the red-hot iron plate into the iron through the back door to heat it. In the18th century, the most commonly used iron was solid iron made of iron. People often use two irons alternately: one for ironing clothes and the other for heating on charcoal fire.

The electric iron originated in America, and Richardson converted electric energy into heat energy and developed it. 1932 An electric iron with adjustable temperature appeared.

1953, the spray steam electric iron came out. In ancient times, this iron was called cobalt.

Liu Zongyuan's Eight Chapters of Yongzhou contains two chapters: the story of Cobalt Pool and the story of Xishan Lake. In place names, you can also see Tiekeng, Tiezhen, Tietable and Xitie Street, all because iron was used early and widely. Tu Yuji of the Jin Dynasty wrote: "Chu Jiu, bath dishes, iron ... are all urgent needs of the people."

The Jin people also recorded the ironware in the Book of Jin Han Zhuan: "Mother is a big shovel, so I caught the ironware. Kang Bo said: The ironing is in the bucket, and the two handles are still hot. Liang Jianwen's "Taking Xu Lu as a Bedding" records that "iron is coated with gold and white teeth are wrapped around it" is also good; It is still said that "branding began in World War I" in the legend "King of Huainan", and the book also notes: "War is iron.

Zhou Wang saw that iron was rotten, so he was branded. Song Gaocheng's "Jiyuan Affairs, Ironing Department" also quoted Huangfu Mi's "The Emperor's Century" (another Jin Dynasty, probably the most emphasis on dress, from complexity to nudity). "If you want to be severely punished, first make a big iron, scald it with fire, let it hit your hand and laugh at da ji."

There seems to be something so sick. Although it is not used to iron clothes, it is even less common to iron people's skin. "Today's people stretch silks" is just Zhou Wang's "heritage" which is still precious.

Mrs. Xin Zhui of Mawangdui, her ramie fabric is really ironed with "Hantie" ... silk stretcher ",which can't be fake. According to the Sui Shu, Li Mu let his son Li Hun into Beijing and brought a handful of iron as a keepsake to Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, saying, "I would like to hold a giant iron and rule the world with iron."

It is estimated that this iron also has scales, and those scales that are not allowed are shown as rulers, which can measure the meaning of the world and be regarded as wands. Holding this thing, Gaozu is so happy.

Today, the development of iron is changing rapidly. Modern iron basically does not use the original charcoal fire heating method, but uses electric heating and steam heating.

Therefore, it is also called electric iron and steam iron. There are also various styles.

The earliest history of iron can be traced back to Shang Dynasty. It was invented as an instrument of torture, specially used for scalding people's skin, which reminds people of the cruel story of Shang Zhouwang.

4. The history and culture of steam ironing machine, the development and classification of steam ironing machine. The principle of steam ironing machine is that the hot steam of 98 degrees continuously contacts clothes, softens the fiber tissue of clothes, and makes clothes smooth through the actions of "pulling" and "pressing". Hot steam has the function of cleaning and disinfection, and is used in clothing stores, hotels, hotels, families and so on. , with bracket and clothes hook. Just add water and electrify for 1 min, and high-pressure steam can be sprayed on the folds of clothes, making them smooth and supple, without ironing the clothes board, which saves us the tedious steps of ironing clothes at ordinary times. Product applicability

Used for ironing and disinfecting clothes, curtains and carpets of any material, with simple use, convenient operation, energy saving and time saving.

Characteristics and advantages of ironing machine

As a new type of clothes wrinkle removal tool, it is becoming more and more popular in modern families, and it is gradually replacing the traditional flat iron for the following reasons:

First, ironing clothes with a steamer is the best choice. The research shows that ironing with flat iron is easy to damage the fabric of clothes, especially the high-grade fabric (such as hardness and aging), while the steam ironing machine can easily iron under the dual effects of gravity and high-temperature steam (the temperature is about 98 degrees) and maintain the best wearing shape.

Second, the use of steam steamer is fast, convenient, time-saving and labor-saving. Friends and shopkeepers who like to visit fashion shops can personally feel that clothes can be ironed when hung in the room, even without bending over to iron them. Many clothes are made in a flash, and clothes can be displayed in front of customers with the best effect.

Third, clean. When ironing, the part of the steam steamer that contacts clothes (the air outlet part of the nozzle) is far away from the steam source. The dirt generated by the high temperature of domestic water used will never be sprayed on clothes as easily as flat iron or steam ironing brush, but will be completely stored in the dirt storage room of the distant bottom heating furnace (located at the bottom of the heating furnace of the steam steamer).

Fourth, save trouble. The steam ironing machine can iron more than 50 clothes at a time. For modern families who often iron clothes, it takes more than a week to add water at a time, and the flat iron must be added frequently because it is too small or impossible to be big enough. At the same time, the steam steamer omits the ironing board in daily use. As we all know, the ironing board used with iron is easy to get dirty. If you don't use it too many times, it will be dark and dusty, which is really a great spoil for a superior family. Moreover, it is troublesome and inconvenient to take and place.

Five, the price factor prompted high-end families to choose steam steamer. The price of steam ironing machine has dropped from several thousand yuan when it was introduced into China from abroad in the last century to several hundred yuan now, which means that the price of a steam ironing machine is equivalent to the price of a flat iron at that time. Therefore, ironing machine has gradually become a luxury for high-end families from an image tool that only high-end brand fashion shops can configure conditionally, and then it has become an essential tool for fashion shops, and it has become a household appliance for high-end families to replace flat iron and enjoy high-quality life in the current low-profit market era.

Although modern families are not fashion shops, their pursuit of clothing image is getting higher and higher, but the high-tempo work and life forces people to hate time-consuming and laborious work, so steam steamer has become an ideal helper for middle and high-end families when various factors and conditions permit.

5. Was there an iron in Qing Dynasty /viewthread.php? tid=364849

This is ...

China's ancient iron

Electric irons have now entered many families and become indispensable appliances. It can iron wrinkled clothes, and it is convenient to use, and is deeply loved by people. The present electric iron was invented by American Henry Sealy/KLOC-0 in new york on June 6th, 882. At that time, electricity had not yet entered ordinary families, so it could not be popularized. 19 13 years, the famous French company "calori" launched the first electric iron design sample. However, it was not until 1924 that the first practical electric iron was successfully developed by Gitzf Mill in the United States. It was not until 1926 that steam electric irons entered the homes of ordinary people. At 1932, an electric iron with adjustable temperature appeared. 1953, steam jet electric iron came out. However, according to the ancient cultural relics excavated by archaeologists and a large number of historical materials, irons for ironing clothes appeared in the Han Dynasty (AD 2).

Du Yuji in the Jin Dynasty wrote: "Chu Jiu, bath plate, iron ... are all urgent needs of the people." It can be seen that the iron was already a folk household appliance at that time. According to the introduction of Bronze Dictionary, the ironware in the Han and Wei Dynasties was made of bronze, and some ironware was also engraved with the inscription "Ironware Dressing", which shows that the working people in ancient China had already understood the purpose of ironware.

There are two explanations about the origin of the name "Tie" in ancient Chinese. One is to take the symbol of Beidou, which is explained in Shuo Wen Jie Zi in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "Dou, pictographic handle"; In the Qing Dynasty's Notes on Explaining Words, it was written: "The top is like a bucket, and the bottom is like a handle. If the bucket has a handle, it will cover the Beidou. " Second, iron looks like a bucket. There are also ironware called "fire bucket" and "golden bucket".

The ancient soldering iron did not use electricity, but put red-hot charcoal in the soldering iron, and then used it when the bottom of the soldering iron was hot, so it was also called "fire bucket". The "golden bucket" refers to a very delicate ironware, not an ordinary folk product, which can only be enjoyed by nobles. In some laundries today, carbon irons are still used because of special needs or no electricity.

China's ancient ironware was earlier than the electric iron invented abroad 1880 years, and it was the first country in the world to invent and use ironware.

6. How long has the steam engine been invented? As early as 1 9 6 4, Americans invented the vertical steam ironing machine. At that time, this "new novelty" was mainly used in high-end tailor shops and your home.

With the development of the times, the steamer is no longer the exclusive product of foreign aristocrats. Different from the ironing barrel pressure, the long-distance contact between the steam source and the clothes avoids the direct damage to the face material. This quick, light and loose ironing method is more conducive to protecting the surface materials and is favored by modern people.

In China, not long ago, C U O RI Li Zhuo, who has a history of 2 4 years, released a new ironing product specially made for the domestic market-Li Zhuo's fine ironing and pressurization intelligent ironing machine. Cuori, an international industrial designer who has won many world-class design awards, has a unique appearance, which is different from the steamer we often see in the market. The height of the three-stage bracket after all stretching is similar to that of ordinary people, and the parallel width of the bottom and the upper side is more conducive to supporting and unfolding long clothes, which is more convenient for ironing ordinary long clothes.

7. Historical background information Rammed map name: Rammed map category: year of painting and calligraphy: Tang Dynasty cultural relics originally belonged to Yuanmingyuan. The present situation of the cultural relics collected in Yuanmingyuan: 1860 was looted and lost overseas after "burning Yuanmingyuan", and now it is in the Boston Museum.

Introduction: Ramming Map is the work of Zhang Xuan, a painter in the Tang Dynasty. This painting depicts the situation of urban women in the Tang Dynasty in the process of tamping, winding, ironing and sewing.

The movements of the characters in the painting are natural and the details are vivid, which makes people see that they lean back slightly when spinning, showing the author's careful observation. Its lines are meticulous and colorful, and its "plump" figure modeling shows the typical style of ladies painting in Tang Dynasty.

Tao Ren Map is a meticulous painting and a copy of Song Dynasty. It's at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts now. The Map of Tamping Earth depicts the modality of women in various activities from tamping earth to ironing, and depicts the appearance and personality of different characters.

It shows the scene of women practicing sewing clothes, and the relationship between the characters is vivid and natural. People engaged in the same activity have different actions and expressions because of their different identities, ages and division of labor, which respectively reflect the characteristics of the characters.

The figures are vivid, depicting Xiao Wei, fluent and colorful, which reflects the aesthetic taste of advocating health and fullness in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and represents the typical style of character modeling in that era. The woman holding the silk leaned back slightly, as if she were exerting a little force; The serious and attentive expression and beautiful appearance of ironing women appropriately show their gentle and peaceful mood.

The girl peeping curiously under the silk and the girl fanning the fire who is afraid of the heat turning back are vivid and fascinating. The painter's performance of women's beating activities is not only to describe the processes of beating, winding, weaving and ironing. He not only pays attention to the characterization, but also pays attention to depicting some interesting details, which makes the reflected content more vivid.

The Tang Dynasty was an era when China's ancient culture and art developed to prosperity. At that time, painting flourished, producing nearly 400 outstanding painters with records and leaving many brilliant artistic masterpieces.

Now, let me briefly explain Zhang Xuan and his Stamping Map. Natalie (A.D. 7 13-74 1), a native of Jingzhao (Xi 'an, Shaanxi), is a painter of Kaiyuan History Museum.

"Good at painting" is wonderful for pavilions, trees, flowers and birds, especially for ladies. There are many paintings depicting the elegant and idle life scenes of aristocratic women in Xuanhe Garden, such as spring outing, dressing, drumming, playing music, playing flute, hiding fans and enjoying snow.

Most of the aristocratic women in the paintings have prominent features such as plump eyebrows, fat posture and gorgeous costumes and headdresses, and are called "graceful figures". In the early stage of the development of ladies' paintings-the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, most of the ladies' paintings painted by painters were with distinct bones, delicate faces, thin clothes and wide sleeves.

In the painting theory works of this period, this female painter is called "young workers continue to make progress". It was not until the middle stage of the development of ladies' paintings in the Tang and Five Dynasties that Zhu began to be called "ladies' paintings" in the records of famous paintings in the Tang Dynasty.

The image of beauty created by the painter has also evolved into the image depicted in Zhang Xuan's paintings in order to better meet the aesthetic taste of the rulers of the dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Natalie and Zhou Li were painters of Seiko ladies, and Natalie was Zhou Fang's teacher. Her exquisite craftsmanship represents the typical style of ladies painting in Tang Dynasty.

However, due to the long history, most of Zhang Xuan's paintings have been lost. Although the existing volumes "Tao Ren Tu", "Guo Fu You Chuntu" and "Chasing the Tang Dynasty Tu" may be copied by later generations, they can still give people a glimpse of their painting skills.

At present, the rammed earth map in the Boston Museum in the United States is a meticulous and colorful painting, which shows the working scene of aristocratic women rammed earth and sewed. "Lian" is a kind of silk fabric, which is hard when it is first woven. It must be boiled, bleached and mashed again to become soft and white.

This long scroll painting depicts twelve characters, which are divided into three groups according to the labor process: pounding, weaving and ironing. The first group depicts four people practicing with wooden pestles; The second group draws two people, one sitting on the carpet to arrange the thread, and the other sitting on the stool to sew, forming a scene of knitting the thread; The third group is the scene of several people ironing clothes, and a young girl runs around playfully from under the cloth.

The painter uses "scatter perspective" to compose the composition, and presents the whole rammer scene to the readers in three parts.

At the same time, he did not simply explain the procedural steps of labor, but paid attention to the description of the little moves that revealed emotions in the labor scene, as if to better show the character's personality and psychological activities. For example, the sleeves are rammed and rolled, the stitches are arranged neatly when sewing clothes, the zipper is slightly backward, several children are interspersed, one girl covers her face with sleeves when fanning the flames, and the other girl is absorbed in watching ironing clothes. , make the characters and scenes in the picture real and vivid, full of life interest.
