A button is a holed disc that is sewn to one side of the garment. The disc passes through the buttonhole on the other side of the garment to fasten the garment. It is a life clothing item that humans often accompany. According to archeological findings, as early as 4000 BC, Persians could already make buttons from processed small stones. Ancient Egyptians also made buttons of gold and silver, stitched around the collar as an ornament; the ancient Greeks fastened their tunics with buttons and rings on their shoulders. However, the decorative effect of the buttons at this time was greater than the practical value. Until the 13th century, people invented buttonholes, and the buttons had greatly improved their function. In addition, the buttons had been generally cut in accordance with the shape of the human body, and the buttons became very effective. Importantly, the prevailing wind is also difficult to stop. In this way, the buttons are also classified as high and low as people's origins. The rich and powerful are all made of valuable gold, silver or ivory, sewn on their clothes. The buttons, in order to demonstrate their status as wealth and rank, even went into the gates of heaven, and they also made the buttons with their own names as legacy for future generations. However, ordinary people do not have this kind of ability.

î—¥ î—¥ China's Zhou Dynasty has begun to use the blouse under the sag system. Both men and women wear two pieces of clothes under the upper skirts. Etiquette requirements are also quite strict. There are officials in charge of producing dresses inwards. When the officials of the civil and military officials perform the ceremony, they must wear dresses. At that time, the use of clothing was more standardized and the clothing system was quite complete. The Zhou Dynasty reflected the Zhou Dynasty etiquette "Zhou Li", "Book of Rites" and other books appeared in the "New" word, "New" is a knot that meet each other, that is, buckle. According to my collection of copper buttons in the Western Zhou Dynasty and archeological findings in China, during the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, there was a use of buttons. The Warring States artifacts unearthed in Shizhai Mountain, Jinning, Yunnan, have been made of blue, apple green and light gray turquoise circles, ellipses, animal heads and non-standard shaped buttons. Each has one or two small holes. Some engraved patterns, unique shapes, bright and colorful, with a beautiful waxy luster. The button collections in the collection are still using simple buttons made of small stones, shell pieces, animal horns, walnuts, and coconut shells. This shows that people in the Western Zhou Dynasty had already used buttons.
In the fourteenth century, the Chinese passed the button to Europe. This is an exciting time for Europeans who are not yet fully equipped. At that time, it was a glorious and a privilege to be able to tie a large robe of gowns quite neatly, and since then men have no longer been playing with the less obedient and disrespectful cloths, and the demeanor has been followed up. In order to show their wealth, some Daguan nobles use precious gold, silver, pearls, precious stones, diamonds, rhino horns, antelope horns, and precious materials of ivory to make buttons. Because of the ornament, their attitude has become somewhat arrogant. King Louis XIV of France has used 13,000 precious buttons to make a royal robe. There are very few women who are very beautiful women. They are more willing to dress up and sit in the hall to receive relatives and friends. Buttons, at best, hang on the waist and play the role of costumes, letting you feel justified.
In the sixteenth century, among the noble women, the popular clothing accessories were from the elbows to the wrists, and from the neck to the waist were stitched with a large number of buttons as objects and decorations. At the beginning of the 18th century, with the successive establishment of button processing factories in Britain, Germany, France and other countries, buttons with embroidered designs shined on the clothing with design concepts. Buttons of tin alloys have replaced other products and become The buttons used by the general public and the decoration of copper buttons on military uniforms make beautiful uniforms shine. In short, the use of button materials during this period can be described as everything, what shells, pearls, glass, crystal, leather, buffalo horns, gongs, bamboo, etc. is really a wide variety, it is dazzling and less than 50 years, the industrial development of the United Kingdom There was a button in the steel bar, which carved multiple facets on the billet, so it was clean, bright and exquisite. This button went to the hands of a romantic French and continued to dedicate a beautiful through-hole pattern.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the cheaper die-cast steel buttons with through-holes replaced the former. In 1830, machine-made cloth buttons replaced handmade buttons. At the same time, a kind of animal's horns and hooves were used to heat and reshape the buttons. After dyeing, the buttons also entered the popular stage.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the development of science and technology also promoted the appearance of button manufacturing materials. Today, more than 80% of the buttons in the world use synthetic resins as raw materials. Different styles, such as cellulose, polystyrene, and polyethylene plastics, are endless, not only colorful, but also inexpensive. At present, in addition to synthetic resin buttons, there are a large number of button products: decorative stone buttons, which is a poor grade of precious stones, because of the color beauty, hardness, can be processed into a round sheet, embedded metal base On the top, a set of elegant tiger-eye buttons can be sold at higher prices.
Electroplated metal buckles, which appeared in the British manufacturing capital of Birmingham in the 16th century, have always had a high market share. One of the silver-plated buttons can be sold for more than 5 pounds.
è´å£³ è´å£³ shell button, this is a kind of dedication to return to the simple, it has always been used as a human currency in the circulation field, but with the development of history, its value of the measured object has long been far from society, but was made The buttons of the decorations are still elegant and flashing natural beauty. Japanese people have a soft spot for buttons made of white vanessa and black butterfly shells, depending on the top grade in the buttons.
In addition, some expensive buttons often appear on the clothes of many rich men. These buttons have lost their shirtiness and become more decorative at the moment, giving people a taste of gold.
î—¥ î—¥ Do not look at the extent of the small button, through which people can often see the characteristics of a nation. For example, buttons with lacquered brilliance and intricate patterns are the specialties of China. The ceramic buttons decorated with beautiful paintings are famous in France; the colored glass buttons are the masterpieces of Bohemia; the ivory buttons are made from palm tree fruits from South America. After the kiln baking, full of wild style and so on, in short, a small button not only can bring innumerable convenience to life, but also adds endless brilliance to the costume, which makes people extra value.
Buttons are also a kind of culture. Just as most wealthy citizens can influence a community, the role of the West has always been to the extent that many people respect it. It has almost reached the level of selfless admiration and even the habit of sewing buttons on the right side. It is also true that this is why the buttons are the origin of the right men. For a long time, I feel particularly adapted.
î—¥ î—¥ Women's buttons in the left cause is a few long time ago. The blue-eyed and high-nose ladies living in the West are still in the environment of being pampered. Their rules are the fine details of the living of the upper class. Tied to those few small buttons. Otherwise, they would have misunderstood the bosoms, bonnets, stockings and so on under the eyes of the people. So, there is a maid lying next to the waitress and ready to put the lady The dress is beautiful and dignified. In order to make it convenient for the maid to buckle the button, the buttons of the woman's dress are the opposite of the men's.
î—¥ î—¥ In addition, some people gave the button a romantic meaning. The second button is the best gift for couples. The second button, above the heart, is the one sent to the heart. It is also for the most liked person. Because the second button is eccentric to the heart, the second button is the opposite of the heart!
The story of the most famous button is closely related to the fate of Mr. Napoleon. Napoleon’s life was full of great legends, and many people’s worship of the world’s mighty power increased, and even counted their graves and kissers. "There are no more people in this world than he is," said former British Prime Minister Churchill once commenting on Napoleon. This military genius was in the midst of his career in battle. He created many famous examples of wars that were less frequent and more successful. Some battles were still regarded as classics leading to the succession of the latter. However, the failure of Russia in 1812 changed his fate. Since then, the first empire in France has gradually lost ground. On May 9, 1812, Napoleon, who had made a series of glorious victories on the European continent, left Paris and led a mighty 600,000 army to Russia. With advanced tactics and fierce gunfire, the French army slammed into Huanglong in a short period of several months—bringing in the capital, Moscow City. However, the Russians implemented measures to clear the country, burn houses, and bury food. The entire city became a dead city. Far from the indigenous French forces, they immediately faced difficulties. When the French entered the city, the city center ignited a raging fire, three-quarters of the city of Moscow was burned down, and more than 6,000 houses were turned into ashes. The Russian Tsar Alexander took measures to clear the borders, so that the French troops far from the homeland into the grain shortage, lost hay and oats, a large number of military horses hungry on the way, the military is heavy due to driving innocent and had to destroy, followed by the day The cold climate in the cold has added to this grim situation. In the winter of 1812, the army of Napoleon was forced to retreat from Moscow. In the early part of December, 600,000 soldiers were frozen and died. By the beginning of December, Napoleon’s troops had become a small unit of less than 10,000 from the 600,000 troops they had set off. .
What caused Napoleon's defeat? The world often blames its failures on the fact that the front has been dragged too long and the logistical supply is not. But a Canadian chemist recently proposed a new solution in his book. A small button was the culprit that caused Napoleon’s 600,000 troops to fall.
According to the American Discovery Channel, the famous chemist Penny Lake, dean of the Faculty of Science and Art at Caplano College in Canada, disclosed in his new book "The Napoleon's Button: 17 Elements that Change the History of the World" and became a powder. The buttons are likely to play an important role in Napoleon's fiasco.
According to the book, at the time, the uniforms of the soldiers of Napoleon’s Russian army used tin buttons, and in cold climates, tin products chemically changed into powder. Because there are no buttons on the clothes, in the face of the snow and ice, the soldiers all have the same open-chested look. Under such harsh conditions, many people were frozen to death. In addition, some people died of illness due to typhoid fever. In his new book, Panne quoted some of the contemporary Russians' sightings, such as a Russian description of Napoleon’s army retreating: “Those men are like demons. They are wrapped in women’s cloaks, strange carpets. Fragments or coats full of holes.†Penny said: “There is no doubt that the cold temperatures of the winter of 1812 were the main factors that caused the collapse of Napoleon’s army, and the variable characteristics of tin at low temperatures were exactly those of Napoleon’s soldiers. The real reason for being forced to put on these bizarre clothes.â€
î—¥ î—¥ It seems that the role of buttons can not be underestimated, a bit when it even surpassed the power of artillery, allowing an invincible army quickly collapsed, a great commander is wise.
