Mirror, this object has long been an indispensable thing in people's daily life. Everyone should dress up in front of the mirror after taking a shower every day. The boy is ok, but the girl really has a mirror in which she can play all day. Not only modern people can't live without mirrors, but also ancient people. "Beauty misses the mirror, and I will meet you again", "Beauty and I will leave the mirror in the box" and "Brothel hangs the mirror, and it is sad to see it". Mirrors are mentioned in many ancient poems, which shows that ancient mirrors are also a part of people's lives.

Moreover, we can also see ladies dressing up in front of the mirror from many film and television works. However, most of the ancient mirrors were made of copper, which is quite different from the current glass mirrors in quality and effect. So, can ancient mirrors not see people clearly? To know this problem, we must start with the origin of the mirror. Before the invention of bronze mirrors, people filled jars with water in order to take a clear picture of themselves, and they could see clearly by moonlight at night.

This practice is more troublesome and limited, and it will be blurred if the light is not good. However, this approach is poetic. After the flowers bloom, the graceful woman looks at her figure reflected in the water, and it must be particularly charming to smile through the night. Later, with the development of bronze manufacturing, people began to use bronze mirrors. Because the technology is not perfect at first, the manufacturing effect will definitely be unsatisfactory. However, we should know that if the effect and ease of use of bronze mirrors can not replace the effect of watching reflections in water before, bronze mirrors will not prevail in the world.

However, the fact is that in the Tang Dynasty, the manufacturing industry of bronze mirrors was very perfect. On the one hand, the mirror is polished and shiny, on the other hand, it is decorated with various complex texture patterns, and some of them are equipped with round holes in the middle, which are specially used to put the mirror on the post. The bronze mirror not only replaces the way of looking in the mirror before, but also is a beautiful handicraft in itself. Beautiful mirrors will be decorated with gold and silver. As for the effect of taking pictures, don't worry at all. I'm sure you can see clearly The previous mirrors we see now have been buried underground for many years, and they will certainly be seriously worn out, which gives us an illusion that we can't see clearly. It is an illusion to think that the previous bronze mirrors were all vaguely looking at people.
