Lin Wanwan often hears the sound of people in the Great Tang using sticks to beat clothes on bright moonlit nights. It's not washing clothes; it's "beating winter clothes".
The winter clothes worn by the people of the Lin Family Manor are made of kudzu hemp, filled not with cotton or sponge, but with willow catkins and coarse hemp.
Clothes made from hemp stalk fibers are tough by nature, and when filled with willow catkins and coarse hemp in the winter, they become even stiffer when frozen by the frost, hence the need to beat them with a stick to make them soft and warm.
The hardships of ancient people's lives, Lin Wanwan has truly witnessed.
This is the Great Tang, the strongest nation under the heavens, and the lives of the commoners in the remote small countries must be even more miserable.
From what Lin Wanwan has researched, the Americas and Africa are more or less the same, with most regions still in primitive stages, only some areas have formed empire-like slave states.
