Bronze Iron
Tang Dynasty nobles paid great attention to their image, using scorching hot irons to press their clothes.
The Gaochun Museum was recently completed and opened to the public for free, with many treasures. In the exhibition hall, two irons are displayed: one from the Tang Dynasty and one from the Qing Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty iron has a short handle and a large groove in the middle.
"During the Tang Dynasty, nobles were particular about their appearance. When clothes were wrinkled, they began using irons. You see, this iron has a groove for holding charcoal fire; after heating, it is placed on the wrinkled part of the clothes and pressed to smooth it out," explained a museum staff member. In the Tang Dynasty, ironing clothes was a "hard task" because the handle was short and the charcoal fire might produce smoke, so the iron had to withstand heat and smoke. The Qing Dynasty iron has a long handle, making it relatively easier to use.
