How did people in ancient times escape the scorching heat?

Generally speaking, if you want to escape the heat, you have to go to a place with low temperature around you, either at high latitude or high altitude. The ancients only knew that Shuobei was a strange cold place, but they would not actually go to Shuobei to escape the heat, so they generally chose to go to a high-altitude place, similar to going to the mountains and forests and water streams for a period of time. Naturally, the emperor would also choose to build a palace in the mountains at a slightly higher altitude, which is how the Chengde Summer Resort came about.

Cool pillows, the pillows used by the ancients have metal, jade, ceramics, wood, bamboo, silk fabrics and other textures, among which the jade texture of the pillow cooling effect is better, so it is the most popular in the hot summer. Li Qingzhao's poem "Drunken Flower Yin" mentions that "the jade pillow yarn cupboard is cool in the middle of the night." "In addition to dispelling the heat, the ancients also liked to put sandalwood in the pillow core in summer, which can repel mosquitoes and insects and remove odors.

Deep wells, during the Three Kingdoms period, there were large families who dug deep wells indoors and covered them with lids. Since the underground is relatively hot, as long as the lid is opened, there will be cold air coming out in the summer and heating in the winter. In addition to cooling the house, you can also put food in the well to keep it fresh, which is a natural refrigerator.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a kind of "cool house" for people to cool off. "Cool houses" are usually built next to the water, using a waterwheel-like way to push the fan wheel to rotate to slowly send cool air into the house, or use machinery to send water to the roof, and then down the eaves to make an "artificial water curtain", the house will naturally cool down.

Ice cubes, ancient people used ice cellars to store ice. In winter, a large amount of ice and snow is stored in the ice cellar, and the next summer it is taken out and placed in the living room, and when the ice and snow melt, it constantly emits cool air, and its cooling effect is not inferior to that of today's air conditioners.

In ancient China, there was a wind wheel, similar to an electric fan, of course, it was artificial, and an iceberg was placed in front of the wind wheel, which was a large piece of ice, and then the wind wheel was manually pulled to rotate, and the cool breeze was blowing.

Enjoying the shade under a big tree is not just a common saying, but also a way of life. In ancient times, civilians did not have so many summer artifacts, and basically enjoyed the shade under the big trees. And it's really not hot under the tree, and the wind blowing is relatively cool.

In ancient times, people also had ice cream and cold drinks in summer, and there were many private ice cellars in the Song Dynasty, collecting ice cubes in winter and storing them in summer**. At that time, there were people selling ice and various cold drinks along the streets, and real snow cheese (the first ice cream).

It's normal, there was no air conditioning in ancient times, and there was no ice cream to cool the heat, so you should escape the heat.

1. In our daily life, we generally choose to turn on the air conditioner to cool down during the summer. It can be said that an air conditioner can solve the hot temperature in summer. So, even in the summer, we don't feel very hot.

And for the ancient people, how did they cool down in the summer to spend the whole hot season? In fact, the ancients also had their own set of cooling methods.

2. For example, use a fan to cool down. Because the ancients knew that when the fan swings, it will accelerate the flow of air, so that wind will appear, and help evaporate the heat from the human body. Therefore, we can see in many TV series that in the ancient court, many maids would fan their masters on the side.

Not only that, but if you pay attention, you can also know that the ancients also used ice cubes, and they usually put the ice cubes they made into caves or cellars for storage. In this way, when the summer comes, you can take it out to cool down.

3. In ancient times, the imperial family would also build palaces in cool places, which could not only be convenient for relaxation and play, but also some palaces could also play a role in enjoying the shade. For example, the Old Summer Palace, Chengde Summer Resort. During the summer months, the emperors would move to the palace.

The building materials used in the construction of these palaces can play a role in providing shade and heat protection. In addition, there are many plants planted in the palace. These plants can be a good shelter from the heat, so living in such a palace is a good way to relieve the heat.

Compared with the ancients, I think our modern life is really much happier. In the past, only noble and wealthy people could escape the heat well, while ordinary people could only endure the hot temperature silently. In our current life, basically everyone will have an air conditioner in their home, so even in the hot summer, we are not afraid, but can turn on the air conditioner and enjoy the comfort brought by the cool breeze in the room.

Because the coverage of trees in ancient times was still very high in summer, the temperature was not particularly hot in summer, and there were some princes and nobles who had ice cubes to eat in summer.

They usually spend time under trees in the shade, and they also have a lot of summer tools, such as ice, and they also stay in a room, a shady place.

Reduce the number of clothes, go down to the river to bathe, shake a fan to cool off, dig a hole in the mountain, drink medicinal tea, etc. Wealthy families would also go to the mountains to escape the heat, or build houses by the water to escape the heat, or store natural ice and snow in ice cellars in winter and take them out for use in summer.

Introduction: In the summer, we may take refuge in an air-conditioned house, so how did the ancients escape the heat? They invented tools such as fans and cool houses to survive the scorching heat, and one has to admire the wisdom of the ancients. <>

In the hot summer, when we feel hot, we will choose to blow the fan and blow the air conditioner. In fact, the ancients had the same idea as us at that time, but they saw that the level had not yet developed, so they chose fans, in costume dramas, we can see them everywhere, and some people will hold fans in their hands. The ancients did this in order to cool off the heat and dissipate heat.

In fact, principles like electric fans have been invented in ancient times, but they do not use electricity, but artificial power generation. In some large households, they would let their slaves and servants fan themselves. Sometimes they even give them a big fan, let them fan in the house, and then form a kind of air flow, so that the house is cool, this is the wisdom of the ancients to cool off the heat.

This actually inspired us to invent the air flow device now. <>

When the weather is hot to a certain extent, the fan can no longer achieve the effect of relieving the heat. The ancients would have come up with other ways to beat the heat. They invented the cool house, and the principle of the cool house is to use the cold air from the waterwheel watering by the pool to transmit it to Wuzhong, and then let Wushuang fill it with cool air, so as to achieve a cooling effect and give people a cool feeling.

This method may not be as cool as turning on the air conditioner now, but in that era, it could already meet the needs of the ancients to spend the summer. The ancients also considered that if there was no water source nearby, the practical water well could also be used to cool down and improve the temperature in the courtyard. So as to achieve the effect of cooling.

The ancients also invented a kind of thing that we still use today, that is, the mat. The mattress is just like we know, and the body cools down quickly when we sleep, and I don't feel the heat. <>

The ancients used fans, cool houses, mats, etc. to spend the hot summer, and the wisdom of the ancients is indeed admired by modern people.

Rich ancient people would put ice in the room to survive the heat, and ordinary people would use a fan to cool down, or go out to enjoy the cool, and wipe themselves with cool water from the mountain, so that they could also be auspicious to cool down.

The people of Puhe Pitong use fans to cool themselves, the dignitaries and nobles will change the stupidity of bamboo mats and porcelain pillows to cool down their stalls, and the aristocratic families will cool down through the cold air emitted by ice.

In ancient times, people would stay at home and not go out, or wear a hat when they went out, so that they could survive the particularly hot heat.

The ancients used to spend the heat on a mattress, fan a fan, or put ice cubes in the house, all of which are recorded in historical records. Many people hate summer very much, because the summer weather is very hot, as long as you stand outside, you will sweat all the time, even if you wear less. And when it's hot, the mood will be very irritable, and you can't even eat.

But now that science and technology are very advanced, if you feel that the weather outside is too hot, you can turn on the air conditioner. <>

And now air conditioning is very popular, whether it is at home or on the bus, or some public places and companies will have air conditioning, so as long as it is not outdoors, summer is not so sad. Many people will say that their lives are given by the air conditioner in the summer, and as long as they leave the air conditioner, they will seem to be killed by heat at any time. Therefore, many people will be curious in addition to enjoying the coolness brought by air conditioning, in ancient times, there was no air conditioner and no electric fan, how did the ancients survive the heat?

In fact, in ancient times, the temperature in summer was not as high as it is now, and you should also be able to find that not every house had air conditioning when we were young, but summer was still very comfortable, and it was not as hot as it is now. This is mainly due to global warming, the summer temperature is getting higher and higher, when we were young, the summer temperature may be only 378 degrees at most, but now the temperature can easily rise to 40 degrees. Therefore, in ancient times, the temperature in summer was not so high at all, and it may be around 30 degrees, which is not particularly unbearable.

And the ancient people were also very smart, many people would sleep on mats in summer, and the habit of sleeping on mats was handed down from ancient times, so the ancients would also spend the heat by sleeping on mats in summer. In ancient times, there were generally ice cellars in homes with better conditions, and there would be some ice cubes stored in the winter, and they would be taken out and placed indoors in the summer. These ice cubes act as an air conditioner, making the temperature in the room less high.

Although families with poor conditions have no way to cool down with ice, they can also fan fans, after all, the ** of fans has not been particularly expensive for Lu Shen since ancient times.

Introduction: Whenever it is summer, people turn on the air conditioner or fan. Because the weather is so hot, if you don't turn on the air conditioner or blow the fan, it is very easy to get heat stroke.

So in ancient times, how did these ancients spend the hot summer? Is there any basis for this? <>

Nowadays, people turn on their air conditioners whenever they encounter particularly hot weather. Maybe some people will think at this time, in ancient times, there was no electricity, and there was no such advanced technology, so how did they spend the summer? In fact, the ancients were very smart, although there was no electricity at that time, but they had their own handmade fans.

Until now, we have found that some people still have fans of various shapes in their homes. In fact, these are all influenced by the ancients, so this habit has always been retained. It's just that modern people have updated a lot of new tricks on the basis of the ancients.

After seeing this title, many friends may have some curiosity. Where did cold drinks come from in ancient times? They don't have a refrigerator again.

How do they store these cold drinks? Let me tell you why there were cold drinks in ancient times, right? In fact, in ancient times, many people would build a hole to store ice.

Therefore, after having this ice cellar, you can store cold drinks, and the ancient people also used ice to make a variety of drinks. When the weather is particularly hot, people drink drinks to relieve the heat. So until now, people still have the habit of drinking drinks.

There may be many friends who have drunk herbal tea, in fact, in ancient times, the ancients had the habit of drinking herbal tea. Because the weather was very hot at that time, they found that in the process of collecting medicines, after drinking some medicines, they would not only cool their bodies very cool, but also relieve the heat. So more and more ancient people have mastered this trick, until now, there are still many places where people will habitually boil some herbal tea in summer to relieve the heat.

There are even some people who build cool houses to escape the heat, and in general, there will be a pool next to the house, and then there will be a water wheel. In this way, you will feel very cool when you live in the room.

With the passage of time, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, especially since this year, the high temperature weather is frequent, and it is really too hot to stand, but fortunately we still have air conditioning blowing, and there are cold drinks to drink. Modern people have electricity and can easily realize these methods of escaping the heat, so how did the ancient people escape the heat? In fact, the wisdom of the ancient people is also very remarkable, and they have a lot of summer artifacts.

1. Escape the heat by renovating the house or shifting the position.

Although they all live under the same sky, the climate varies depending on the terrain, wind direction, location, etc. In such a situation, the ancient people used their wisdom to escape the heat by renovating their houses or relocating them. For example, we often see on TV dramas that most of the ancient emperors had a summer resort, and every hot summer, the emperor would bring his family to enjoy the cool air this time.

Although the common people do not have such treatment, they will also modify the environment in their play according to the terrain and orientation, and build their own summer resort.

2. Escape the heat with food.

In modern times, we have refrigerators, so we can make some drinks, iced drinks, etc. to quench our thirst and escape the heat. However, in ancient times, they also had their own summer food, such as soaking the fruit in well water, and then bringing it up when they needed to eat, and making some tea soup and sour plum soup can also play a role in avoiding the heat. <>

3. Enjoy the cool through fans and mats.

This kind of item has been there for a long time, the ancient fan is different from the current fan, most of the ancient fans are made of bamboo, there are folding fans, there are also pu fans, I believe that people who have watched ancient dramas have seen some sons often hold a folding fan, this is not only their personable item display, but also a way to enjoy the coolness. And when they sleep at night, they will also choose mattresses, which are similar to the mattresses we sleep on now. <>

Fourth, there is also the way to escape the heat by playing in the water.

Playing in the water has been around since ancient times, and in the summer we also like to go swimming with friends or relatives to cool off and relax. However, in ancient times, they would also escape the heat by playing in the water, but they may not be as open as we are now, and most of them were playing in the water at home. <>
