<< review queue entry 52808 - submitted by 'ycandau' >> stumbled on this one and thought it might be not quite right. To my knowledge, 枕头箱 are those elongated boxes, you can see examples on GI. I own one. Some dicts are noncommittal: 枕头箱收藏首饰、契约等贵重物品的小箱子。常放在卧室中。 but M states 舊時一種既可當枕頭，又可收藏銀錢﹑首飾或文件等貴重物品的小箱子 a) 放在卧室床头_当枕头_守护者 http://books.google.fr/books?id=yGM4U6ur01cC&pg=PT290&lpg=PT290&dq=枕头箱&source=bl&ots=hO9JmQh7QW&sig=n1axfES-WWB8HvcIJyOACUVn6GM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=h1BWVJblOo7jase0goAD&ved=0CD4Q6AEwBTgU#v=onepage&q=枕头箱&f=false b) 妻告诉我，那是她父亲_睡觉用的_枕头箱。 我不解，便说：“冬天睡这种东西，又冷又硬。怎么不给他换一只芒花枕头呢？” shows that the father was really using the box as pillow. These examples however are from fiction. They show that Chinese, like me, think those were really pillows; they are not definite proof that this is historically accurate. Maybe the box evolved from a real pillow into a decorative item. |
