While we blast AC or swipe through TikTok for #HeatwaveHacks, ancient Chinese had their own VIP cooling system: jade pillows! 💎 Discover how Han Dynasty folks turned bedtime into a luxury spa experience—no electricity required.
Archaeologists recently spotlighted a stunning artifact: the "Painted Jade Pillow with Bird, Beast and Cloud Design". This 1,800-year-old sleep gadget wasn’t just bling—it was practical magic. Crafted from cool-to-the-touch jade and adorned with gold cloud motifs, these pillows doubled as ancient temperature regulators. 🌥️🦚
"Jade was the Han Dynasty’s secret weapon against sweaty nights," explains cultural historian Dr. Li Wei. "They believed its natural coolness balanced body heat and promoted deep sleep—like a wellness trend straight out of Game of Thrones meets The Art of Living."
Fun fact: Some nobles even added herbal sachets inside their jade pillows for extra chill vibes. Talk about #SleepGoals! 😴✨
