Matches are so common, why should they be given to the king as a tribute?

Matches can be given to the king because it is a rare thing in ancient times and the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient craftsmen. Matches are a great invention in ancient times, so they can be used as tributes in ancient times. Matches are very common to us now, but in ancient times, matches were very rare. It was not easy for the ancients to discover the principle and process of making matches. Therefore, when humans invented matches, this ancient great invention was enough to be a strange thing to pay tribute to the king.

For us modern people, matches are no longer a novelty or a rare treasure. Nowadays, people use more and more lighters, and the combustion improvers are more and more diverse. From gasoline, oil to natural gas, the progress of human science is enough to eclipse a small match. However, don't underestimate these small matches, they represent the symbol of human civilization and progress. Since humans have learned to make a fire by friction, more often than not, people have not adopted more modern ways to make a fire. The making and principle of matches did not exist in ancient times. According to historical records, matches were not formed until the Southern and Northern Dynasties. When the match was invented, it can be said that it greatly changed the way of life of ancient people. There was no invention and discovery of electricity in ancient times, so people's lighting was mostly supported by fire. The invention of matches can be said to have greatly changed people's lifestyle and even promoted the development of gunpowder.

The principle and method of making matches were very difficult for the ancients, so the value of matches was unique in ancient times. First of all, the working principle of matches is to generate heat through friction, which is very simple to say, but the ancients had to find something with a very low ignition point to generate heat through friction, so the ancients finally found something that could be easily ignited through hardships. However, how to attach this thing to the stick is another problem, so the making of matches needs to be solved for ancient craftsmen. Through their own wisdom, ancient craftsmen created things that could greatly change human life. Who wouldn't be surprised by such a thing?

Therefore, the invention of a small match is enough to become a magical thing that can be all hail the king.
