我的命空調(diào)給， 古人解暑有奇招

 

A+國際教育：根據(jù)中國的24節(jié)氣，在7月23日是中國的大暑，字面上理解也就是來到了一年中最熱的時(shí)候，因此，大部分的中國人選擇躲在家里，吃的東西就來外賣，在家里吹著空調(diào)，上著網(wǎng)，然后定義：我的命是空調(diào)給的；

但是對(duì)于古代的中國人，沒有這么先進(jìn)的科技和服務(wù)，那么他們是怎么避暑的？別擔(dān)心，聰明的老祖宗早就想好了各種辦法

 

The ancient refrigerator

古冰箱

 

In spite of a civilization-wide obsession with hot water, ancient Chinese people did crave cold foods occasionally. Before they had the electric refrigerator, there was a device called the bingjian (冰鑒), or “ice container.” It’s usually made of bronze or wood, and had two layers. People filled the outer layer with ice cubes and food and drinks into the inner layer to chill. Putting the bingjian indoors and removing the lid of also made a makeshift air conditioner.

 

 

The automatic fan

自動(dòng)電扇

 

The “windmill fan (風(fēng)扇車)” was invented in the Han dynasty, first used for the military, and later to thresh the grain. It also had to be hand-cranked by a human at the time. In the Tang dynasty, the machine was introduced to daily life, and a water wheel was used to power it so it could autonomously cool the home.

 

Bed-mats and porcelain pillows

床墊和冰枕 

 

The bed-mat is still widely used in China today. People weave reeds, vines, or bamboo into bed mats, which are much cooler to lay on than a cotton-paddled mattress.

 

Not so popular today is the porcelain pillow, which, with its ceramic glazed surface, was supposedly pleasantly cool to sleep on (if rather uncomfortable for obvious reasons). It is said that Emperor Qianlong of the Qing dynasty was a big fan.
