The historical evolution of the mirror

The mirror is the indispensable daily necessities in our life. From the beginning of human civilization. Dressing up has also become an essential part of everyone's daily life. At that time, people often faced a basin of water or stood by a calm river to tidy up their dishevelled appearance. This is the earliest "mirror" with water as the mirror, dress.

In the Han Dynasty, people began to use copper as a mirror, called bronze mirror. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, famously said, "If you make a mirror out of copper, you can dress appropriately. Look to the past as a mirror and you can see the rise and fall of power. Use a man as a mirror, and you'll know the gains and losses." The bronze mirror mentioned here is a bronze mirror.

In the Ming Dynasty, glass mirrors were introduced into China and became the exclusive articles for dignitaries. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that glass mirrors were gradually popularized. In the Republic of China, the casting technology of glass mirrors became more and more mature, with complicated styles, exquisite appearance and low price. Copper mirrors gradually faded out of people's sight.

In the contemporary mirror has gradually evolved into a smart product. The rearward smart mirror will gradually become available to the general public.
