In ancient times, in order to prevent dust and breath pollution, people in the court began to cover their mouths and noses with silk scarves.
"Mencius · From Low" record :" Xi Zi is unclean, then people all cover their noses and pass.
It was very unhygienic to cover one's nose with one's hands or sleeves, and it was not convenient to do other things. Later, some people used a piece of silk cloth to cover their nose and mouth.
