Daily necessities reflect human society’s way of life, cultural background, and historical evolution. For instance, skirts were not exclusively worn by women in ancient times; Roman soldiers favored short skirts because they were breathable and allowed for easy movement. Through a series of engaging stories, this book invites readers to uncover the hidden history of everyday objects.
From the author of The Fascinating Stories Behind Modern European and American History and Uncovering Taiwan's Past, Wu I-Jung presents his first illustrated historical book tailored specifically for middle and elementary school students. Focusing on the history of "everyday items," Wu emphasizes that these objects not only make our lives more convenient but also embody our cultural practices and ways of living.
