As winter comes, hands can easily get cold. Thick gloves might be a good choice. But sometimes wearing them is not convenient, especially when people want to do something with their hands. However, cold hands were not a problem for ancient Chinese. They had a lovely tool to keep their hands warm—handwarmers.   

There is no exact written record of this invention, but there are some stories about it. One folk story is about Emperor Yangdi from the Sui Dynasty（朝代）who visited Jiangsu in the winter. Because of the cold weather, the local officer asked workers to make a small warmer for the emperor that could be held in his hands. And the handwarmer was created. By the Song Dynasty, the tool had been widely used in China. Skills for producing the tool were greatly improved in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Many poems or books from the Qing Dynasty recorded people using handwamers. Take the Dream of the Red Chamber the classic novel by Cao Xueqin as an example. It described a maid（女仆）sent a handwarmer to Lin Daiyu in one chapter.

“I’m sorry, Master,” said Tom. “I can’t do it.”

Legree whipped Tom across his face and then hit him with his fists many times.

“Yes, Master,” said Tom, with blood running down his face. “I will work night and day, but I will never whip another person”.

“I bought you, and you’re mine, body and soul(灵魂).” he said, kicking Tom.

“My soul isn’t yours! You can’t buy it!”

“We’ll see,” said Legree, “Sambo, Quimbo, give this dog, a lesson.”

It was late at night, and Tom lay bleeding alone, among pieces of broken machinery. He heard a noise. “Who’s there? Please, give me some water!”
