Using a pillow to support the head when sleeping began no later than the Western Zhou Dynasty in the Central Plain area. But bronze or stone pillows used as grave objects appeared only in the Western Han Dynasty. According to archaeological findings, more bronze pillows were excavated on the site of the Dian Culture, Yunnan Province, than the Central Plain area. |
