The story of Wang
the Peddler tells us quite a lot about daily life in Han
times, in both the city and in the country.
Here is what we found about daily life in the story
of Wang the Peddler:
-
long carrying
pole
-
bamboo baskets
swinging at both ends
-
charcoal
-
wooden comb
-
copying imperial
fashion (by wanting an imperial style comb)
-
city gates
-
string of cash
-
decorated city,
with banners
-
balconies
-
leather slippers
-
fur coat to
purchase
-
only one bow.
Did good manners dictate more? Probably.
-
mirror - unknown
in the remote areas of the countryside, but possibly new to this time
What did you find?
