Pinyin for clothes hangers: [yΡ jià]
Clothes hangers are used to put clothes on the shelves. "Luban Jing Jiang Jing" talks about two kinds of clothes hangers: plain clothes hangers and flower clothes hangers, which are rare outside. The clothes rack at that time was different from the clothes rack now. Modern clothes hangers are mostly hook-type or fork-type, and clothes are mostly hung on the clothes hook at the neck collar.
clothes hangers in ancient times, including those in Qing dynasty, were mostly in the form of cross bars, with upright posts on both sides, a wooden pier base on top and bottom, and a cross plate or cross beam between the two seats. A cross beam was installed at the top of the upright post, and upright posts grew at both ends, with dragon and phoenix patterns, ganoderma lucidum or cloud heads carved at the end.
An Zhong sign is installed under the cross bar, and it is decorated with openwork, which mainly plays a firm role. Take off your clothes and put them on the crossbar. In addition, there are movies with the same name.
The clothes hanger was invented by a worker named Albert Parkhouse. At that time, he was a blacksmith who made lampshades in a wire and small handicraft company in Michigan, USA.
One day, he found angrily that all the clothes hooks in the cloakroom of the factory had been occupied. He angrily took out a piece of lead wire, bent it into the shape of a coat shoulder and added hooks on it. This invention was taken by his boss and patented, which is the origin of clothes hangers.

clothes hangers are a kind of furniture that appeared earlier in China. The Zhou Dynasty began to implement the etiquette system, and the aristocratic class attached great importance to clothes. In order to meet this need, shelves specially used for hanging clothes appeared earlier. Clothes hangers in different dynasties have different forms and names. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the wooden pole of the horizontal frame was used to hang clothes, which was also called "truss" and "wood application".
in the song dynasty, the use of clothes hangers was more common than that of the previous generation, and there were vivid data. The clothes hanger in the mural dressing picture of the Song tomb in Yuxian county, Henan province was supported by two columns, and two columns grew at both ends of the bar.
the two ends are slightly upturned and made into flowers. Two horizontal wooden piers are used at the lower part to stabilize the column, and a horizontal beam is added between the two columns at the lower part of the upper rail to reinforce it.
In the Ming Dynasty, the overall shape of clothes hangers still maintained the traditional model, but the materials, production and decoration were particularly refined. The lower end of the hanger is made of two blocks of wood, and the inner and outer sides are embossed with patterns. The pier is planted with columns, and the front and rear two carved flowers stand against each other.
The upper and lower parts of the stand teeth are connected with the upright post and the pedestal pier by tenons, and the two piers are installed with a lattice made of small pieces of wood. Because the lattice has a certain width, shoes and other things can be placed. On the lower side of the joint between each crossbar and the upright post, there are carved-through handkerchiefs with back-patterns. The material selection, design and carving of clothes hangers reached a high artistic level in the Ming Dynasty.
