    This is related to the role of the kang, which is not all hollow underneath. On the side of the kang, it is solid, and it is not hot, and as long as the feet are warm in winter, the whole body will be warm.

    Because the kang is hot on the inside and cold on the outside. People's feet are afraid of cold, but their heads are not afraid of cold, so sleeping with the head facing outward and the feet facing in is the need for the body to keep warm, and not for other reasons.

    This is mainly because when sleeping at night, it is necessary to burn the kang, the outward side is often hotter, and the inward side will be cooler, so people will use the way of facing the head outward and the feet facing in order to sleep more warmly.

    In fact, you can sleep however you want, the important thing is to see if you are comfortable or not.

    The scientific sleeping position is to sleep with the head facing south and the feet facing north. Because the direction of the Earth's magnetic field is from south to north. Therefore, the human body is affected by the earth's magnetic field anytime and anywhere, and the brain is also disturbed by the magnetic field during sleep.

    When sleeping, people adopt a position with their heads facing south and feet facing north, so that the magnetic field lines pass smoothly through the human body, minimizing the interference of the earth's magnetic field on the body. So as to protect their own health.

    Hello. In the early days, the goal of the peasants was: "30 acres of land, a cow, and a hot kang for wives and children." ”

    Kang, the place close to the stove, is called Kangtou. The place away from the stove and close to the chimney is called the kang tip. The flue in the kang is exquisite, not only to burn well, but also to warm the kang.

    So the flue in the kang is like a maze. Generally, the inside of the kang is warm. In the early days, farmers did not have the conditions to wash their feet every day, let alone soak their feet.

    When people are old, cold is born from their feet, so warming their feet with a hot kang head also serves the purpose of health preservation. The human head needs to be awake and not afraid of the cold, so sleep on the kang with the head facing outward and the feet facing inward. There is a scientific reason for this.

    It's too hot inside, do you want the big head to blow up or the small head to get hard.

    The earthen kang is mostly a fire kang, and in winter the firewood is burned outside the house to warm the kang, and now it is mostly a coal-fired stove to warm the kang, and the flue passes through the kang. The soil kang surface is mostly made of clay materials, it is easy to crack, smoke and harmful gases will overflow from the gaps, head outward sleep, relatively less affected by smoke, will sleep more comfortable, so in winter people are mostly head outward sleep, long habits, summer is also head outward sleep. In addition, there are not many sleeping methods in the north of the north and the south of the feet, because the soil kang is mostly set in the south of the room (the sun is heated in winter), and because of the habit of the outside of the head and the inside of the feet, it has caused the habit of the head and the north and the feet of the south.

    As long as you keep your feet hot, your body will not be cold. And the head should not be too hot, especially if the kang is very dry, it will catch fire and cause nosebleeds.

    The outside of the kang is made of wood, so it won't be hot.

    It's too hot under your feet, and it's usually connected to a fire wall or chimney, so you can't sleep upside down.

    When I was a child, I heard that someone drank and slept on the kang head upside down, and died, and the countryside called it burning, I don't know what happened.

    I have slept on the kang for many years, it is very warm and hot, but it is too hard.

    The best thing about sleeping on the kang is: what to burn, what smells in the bed, the fragrance of firewood, the fragrance of stumbling, I miss my childhood.

    The bad thing about sleeping on the kang is: in winter, there are big smoke bubbles, the wind is strong, and the kang will collapse along the chimney, and with a bang, you will sleep in a pile of bricks, and there will always be a few kang collapses in winter.

    The bricklayers who can pan kang in the countryside are still very good.

    The old people in the countryside insist on sleeping with their heads facing south and their feet facing north, there is no scientific basis, but we generally sleep like this, just like we build a house to sit north and face south, so that there is a very good lighting effect, the old people are very superstitious, when sleeping, pay attention to some avoidance, if the feet are facing west, they will think of dying, which is a very inauspicious thing for the old people. The old people also believe in Feng Shui, and their heads face south and feet face north to conform to Feng Shui, otherwise something strange will happen.

    In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions: Daolin Nourishing Nature" says that "mortals lie down, spring and summer to the east, autumn and winter to the west", "the head does not lie in the north, and the north does not make a bed". "Lao Lao Hengyan" is the cloud "Sleep Heng Dong, it is said to be angry and lie down", "the first is not to lie in the north, it is said to avoid yin". This shows that sleep must adapt to the changes of the four seasons throughout the year in order to have a good sleep and regulate one's body and mind.

    In scientific research, it has been proved that sleeping with the head facing south and feet facing north does help people's health, often sleeping like this is not only full of energy, but also longevity, some geriatric diseases will be much less, in the scientific world the earth is a large magnetic field, and our human body contains many elements such as iron, cobalt and nickel, when we sleep bioelectricity, the current direction of the cell should be parallel to the direction of the earth's magnetic field, so that our sleep quality will be greatly improved.

    Sleep is what each of us needs, no matter how we sleep, as long as it can make us full of energy and vitality, we can sleep how we want, our life is very short, there is still half the time in sleep, and we are so stressed every day, so we all need a good sleep.

    This is actually feudal superstition, because after people die in the countryside, the direction is to put the head to the north and the feet to the south, if we sleep like that, it is not good for us in a certain way, but there is no basis.

    The elderly in the countryside pay more attention to feng shui, and the head is facing south, and the feet are facing north, which is in line with the earth's magnetic field. Although there is no scientific basis for this claim, many people like to sleep with their heads facing south and their feet facing north.

  28. Anonymous users2024-01-16

    This is not superstition, because the magnetic field of the human body where people sleep must be consistent with the magnetic field of the earth, so that it will be more meaningful to the health of the body, and if the sleeping posture of the human body is in the opposite direction to the magnetic field of the earth, it will have a certain impact on the human body.

  29. Anonymous users2024-01-15

    First of all, the inside of the fire kang is connected to the flue or the fire wall, the temperature is relatively high, and the outside temperature is low, some people's heads are afraid of heat and cold, and their feet are afraid of cold and heat. Secondly, the fire kang is generally next to the window, if the head outward sleeping will make people feel unsteady, insecure, the head to sleep inward, right next to the window, and the outside is only separated by a layer of glass, if there is a bad guy coming, as long as the glass is broken, you can touch the sleeping person, so isn't it more insecure? Third, the air quality outside is better than that inside, and sleeping with your head outward can inhale relatively fresh air, which is beneficial to your health.
