When summer heat invades every corner, modern people rely on air conditioners to cool down easily. Few people know that ancient people owned a natural cooling treasure — bamboo wife, also known as green maid or bamboo bolster. Woven neatly with fine bamboo strips, it is hollow and breathable. People hug it in arms or place it between legs while sleeping. The smooth bamboo texture brings natural cool touch, and the hollow design speeds up air circulation to drive away sultry heat. It is not only a practical daily necessity, but also a warm companion through long summer nights. Recorded in ancient poems and folk customs, it carries the leisurely summer life aesthetics of ancient East Asians, simple, natural and full of gentle charm.
