Glasses were introduced to China at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and a pair of horses could be exchanged for a good horse

 

In "Dream of Red Mansions",

 

Only Jia Mu Shi Taijun used glasses.

 

However, the word "photo" "take a picture on the stage" shows another possibility——— Jia Mu's glasses are not only one pair,

 

What she used to watch the play may have been a specially prepared theater mirror (a kind of low-powered telescope).

Glasses have become an indispensable thing in modern life.

 

And three or four hundred years later, this thing is a rarity.

 

In "Dream of Red Mansions", there is only one person who uses glasses.

 

In the sixty-ninth time, Wang Xifeng took Second Sister You to see Mother Jia, Mother Jia was "busy looking", and then "wore glasses again", and ordered the personal maid to pull Second Sister You to her side, take a closer look, and then take off her glasses.

 

She was clearly wearing reading glasses.

 

When glasses were first born and which people invented them first, there are different opinions.

 

However, the glasses developed on the basis of understanding the laws of lens imaging were imported from the West, and there seems to be no problem.

 

Italian scholar and novelist Amberto Eco's work "The Name of the Rose" vividly reproduces the historical fact of the first appearance of glasses.

 

The story takes place in 1327 AD.

 

The erudite St. Francis William travels to a monastery in northern Italy to investigate a series of mysterious deaths.

 

As he looked at the papers, he revealed a treasure: a fork-shaped clip with two oval metal frames on either side and an almond-shaped piece of glass embedded in the middle, "not to help him see distant objects, but to see near objects."

 

Reading glasses without a doubt.

 

William knew that it required a great deal of skill to make such lenses, so he cherished them "as if they were part of my body."

 

The adversary stole it, putting the investigation in jeopardy.

 

According to the Dutch scholars Vobers and Dixter Hoys's History of Science and Technology, little progress was made in improving living conditions in the Middle Ages.

 

In terms of glasses, they were extremely scarce and extremely expensive for a long time.

 

This is the case in the West, and even more so after it is imported into China, "it may be awarded from the inner government, or it may be purchased from Jiahu, and those who are not powerful cannot get it" (Qing Zhaoyi's "Yu Cong Kao"), a pair can be worth the price of a good horse.

 

In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, glasses were still scarce and were often given by the emperor to old ministers.

 

However, by the time "Dream of Red Mansions" was written, because of the availability of domestic imitations, the price of glasses fell and gradually became popular.

 

Takekawa Muno Z1625 Unisex Glasses frame C3 Black gold and then back to "Dream of Red Mansions", the fifty-third chapter also wrote about Jia's mother's use of glasses: "Rongguofu Lantern Festival Night Banquet", Jia's mother sat on the openwork Kui Long screen short couch, "There is a very light lacquer painted gold table on the couch, and there are tea hangers, tea bowls, gargles, foreign towels and the like on the table, and there is a glasses box."

 

Mother Jia crooked on the couch, laughed with everyone, and took her glasses to take a picture on the stage."

 

The use of glasses here is clearly to play a far-sighted and magnifying role, but it is not something that reading glasses can do.

 

Deng Yunxiang's article "Customs of the Red Chamber: Talking about Glasses" believes that this is a mistake by Cao Xueqin: "It's a pity that he didn't carefully understand the truth of reading glasses, and he died early, he may not have used reading glasses, so when writing about Jia's mother's use of reading glasses, a small loophole inevitably appeared."

 

However, the word "photo" "take a picture on the stage" shows another possibility——— Jia Mu did not only have a pair of glasses, but perhaps a specially prepared theater viewing mirror (a kind of low-powered telescope) that she used to watch the play.
