The origin of ancient tents

The history of the tent can be traced back to the residence of the nomadic Yiyi people in 8000 BC. They use animal skins and outdoor equipment branches to build tents that are easy to disassemble. The original tent used pillars buried in the soil as an important support. One end of the animal branches was tied to the stigma, the other end was firmly in the air, and animal skins were covered between the branches. The animal skins fastened to the branches bear the function of resisting the sun and rain. But when the wind hits, it still can't stand it.

Of course, given the cleverness of human beings, living in such a weak and casual way in the long river of our civilized history is nothing more than a small episode. In the age when there is no dispute between people, they only cringe in nature with an easy life posture, and when the civilized historical chapter really breaks out on both sides of the river, the history of the "camp" is also silently transcribed. 

War is the accelerator of civilization. When war has appeared in human history, our swords and shadows are connected together. In modern military strategy, marching formation has become an important confrontation content and cost, among which "camp" is the most important part of the formation. Our current outdoor activities are still called "camp" when we rest. Due to this principle, "camp" is not in a popular sense, but occasionally chooses to "stay" with purpose. Because of the advent of war, mankind has a qualitative understanding of the quality of "housing" and the indecent points of "camp".

Tents have a long history from ancient times to the present. As early as when Genghis Khan unified the Mongolian plateau, tents were already a must for their lives, but they were called yurts. Mongolians live on nomads, so they need to move frequently. In order to move their houses more conveniently, they may have invented tents.

In an earlier period, people used vegetation to build triangular houses, and that kind of houses could be moved or recycled. Maybe this triangular grass-wood house was the originator of tents. After the passage of time, people began to learn to weave, and then learned to soak the cloth in resin to have the effect of wind and water resistance, and then use it to build shelters. This is the most primitive tent. Modern tents develop faster, both in terms of material quality and aesthetics are much better than before. It is also a good thing to imagine the origin of tents when we use tents.

More and more modern tents are used for traveling, and there are more and more styles.
