However, in modern times, people can use air conditioners to escape the heat, so in ancient times, what did people use to escape the heat? Moreover, people's cooling conditions were not good at that time, and even basic equipment such as fans were not available. How did the ancients survive? Today, let me explore a place called? The hottest summer in the history of China? What kind of countermeasures will these ancient ancestors make in that summer?
Eight years, the hottest summer.
This year, there are many cities that are not hot, but all of them are northern places such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Shanxi. In addition, during the year, droughts also occurred from time to time. You know, in ancient times, that kind of worship? Fate? In the more superstitious era, if there is a once-in-a-century vision in the Russian dynasty, it shows that the emperor of this dynasty did something immoral, or did something that angered God, and even warned of some kind of disaster. On the whole, this is a terrible thing. So there is such a situation. As an emperor, Qianlong was also worried. He is not only worried about the heat, but also why there is such a vision in heaven. Fortunately, when he was in power, he was in the heyday, so there were no terrible moths.
How hot is it this summer?
At that time, the ancients called this phenomenon a kind of? Heat disaster? It can be seen that the high temperature at that time was not real, otherwise it would be unimaginable.
In the "Continued Donghua Record", record the day:? In June, Chen Bing, Shi Jing Shu Wei? . Of course, in addition to this sentence describing the hot weather, there are many sentences describing how hot it is. For example, in Continued Tianjin County Records, the weather at that time was recorded, and there were sentences detailing this year's hot summer. May is bitter and hot, the soil and stones are burnt, gold is flowing on the top of the mast, and many people are hot to death. ?
What about Hebei, Shanxi and Shandong at that time? County annals? It is recorded in:? Hot smoke is hard to smoke, the walls are heavy with clouds, lead and tin are sold out in Japan and China, and many people die of thirst. ? 、? It is hot in summer and May, and many pedestrians are killed by the heat, especially in the capital, and some vendors floating in Beijing are also killed by the heat. ? 、? The drought is thousands of miles away, the indoor appliances are hot, and the wind-baked trees are dry in the southwest. In June, many people fled from Wuding Prefecture in the south of Tianjin, and many passers-by died of heat. ?
Therefore, according to these data, we can clearly see how hot and sad some parts of the country were in the eight years of Qianlong. Due to the limited science and technology in ancient times, their methods of cooling off summer heat were too primitive and single, so when they were in the summer, there were not only many? Is it hot? This feeling, really? Is it so hot? It happened.
The cooling way of ancient royal family
As far as the royal family is concerned, they can use many methods to cool down. There is a more scientific method besides using ice. This method was set in the house where the emperor lived. Insulation? , that is, the Qing dynasty said? Put a dragon skin on it? This can isolate the thermal sensation inside and outside the house, thus achieving the effect of cooling down.
Except in the Qing Dynasty, the royal family in the Tang Dynasty took a lot of ice cubes directly from the ice room to cool down, and then put them in some places in the room to cool down the room.
