Speaking of the differences between the north and the south, it may be endless for a day and a night. Climate, diet, local conditions and customs vary greatly.
If nothing else, just say "confinement after childbirth". Although this custom exists, there are obvious differences in "food, clothing, housing, transportation and nursing" during confinement. Let's have a look.
Sitting north facing south: the temperature changes obviously in the north all year round. The highest temperature is close to 40 degrees in hot weather and below zero in cold weather. Therefore, the northern treasure mother pays attention to the word "martial arts" no matter what the weather is.
Whether it is winter or summer, even if it is very hot, some important parts such as joints should be covered for you to avoid catching cold and getting sick later. It is conceivable that Ma Bao will suffer even greater losses on such a hot day.
Confinement in that south: the climate difference between the north and the south is quite large, and the temperature in the south is generally more suitable than that in the north, so there is not much requirement for dress when confinement, even shorts and short sleeves can be used, so that the northern treasure mother can leave envious tears.
Northern Moon Meal: Because I am a northerner, I also have some say in food. Personally, in a small city in Henan, the taste of moon meal here is relatively light, generally millet porridge, red date rice porridge, eggs, brown sugar water and so on.
In addition, there are fish soup, chicken soup and noodle steamed bread, all of which are very traditional northern food characteristics, especially the fish soup is impressive. After drinking fish soup for a week, I don't like fish for many years.
Moon Meal in the South: Southerners love soup. Today, I saw Su, an Asian flyer, flying back from the Tokyo Olympic Games with a rice cooker. It can be seen that making soup is a major feature of Nanyue meal.
In particular, jujube tea and rice tea are the most famous, which are said to be very helpful to pregnant women. Followed by ginger fried rice, ginger pig's foot soup, ginger wine and so on. Of course, there are some small differences in different regions of the south, but the overall taste is relatively light.
Confinement in the north: In confinement in the north, the room will be closed tightly, and the windows of the room cannot be opened casually. In summer, the elderly are constrained not to "turn on the air conditioner". The pain can be imagined, and I feel uncomfortable all over.
Confinement in that south: what our northern treasure mother admire most is that confinement in the south can "turn on the air conditioner", which depends on what the old people in the north say about you, but it seems to be a very common thing in the south.
Confinement in the North: During Ma Bao's confinement in the North, her travel was also "restricted". She was afraid that she would be weak. If you are hit by a strong wind or bump your legs and feet, you may leave sequelae in the future, so you should walk indoors at most.
South confinement: North and South rarely reach an agreement on this issue. During confinement in the south, Ma Bao is not recommended to go out. She should rest at home as much as possible to avoid going out for a long time, which is also for the recovery of maternal health.
Generally speaking, there are still great differences between the north and the south, including differences in living customs and living environment, but it is indeed a unique "feature" of China to only look at "confinement".
In fact, with the emergence of a new generation of young mothers, the way of confinement has also changed a lot. People no longer stubbornly follow the traditional method of confinement, but adopt a more scientific calendar year of confinement.
In terms of diet, in addition to local characteristics, the Moon Meal will pay more attention to the "combination of meat and vegetables", rather than blindly supplementing, and eat healthier while ensuring adequate nutrition.
As long as the temperature is properly controlled and not too cold, you can turn on the air conditioner. Otherwise, it is too hot in summer to turn on the air conditioner, and sweating bacteria grow on the body, making it easier to get sick.
Last month, you were not allowed to take a bath. Now as long as you control the indoor temperature, take a bath as soon as possible, and dry your body and hair in time, there is no big problem.
Generally speaking, the way of confinement is gradually changing and developing in a scientific direction. However, we should pay attention to "confinement", which has been circulated since ancient times, indicating that this set is suitable for China people. Don't leave any roots because of your willfulness, and it will be yourself who will suffer in the future.
