Poetry of ancient people's summer activities

The poem of ancient people's summer activities is Liu Yuxi's "Liu Maxu's Water Pavilion for Summer", in which a bowl filled with ice and a heavy Zhu Shi is given.

Although they all live under the same sky, the climate in different regions will be different because of the different topography, wind direction and location. In this case, the ancients used their wisdom to avoid the heat by renovating or moving their houses.

Fans have existed for a long time. The ancient fans are different from the present ones. Most ancient fans were made of bamboo, including folding fans and cattail fans. I believe that people who have seen costume dramas have seen some childe often holding a folding fan in his hand. This is not only a way for them to show beautiful objects, but also a way to enjoy the cool. And they will choose a mat when they sleep at night, which is similar to the mat we sleep now.

Swimming has existed since ancient times. In summer, we also like to go swimming with friends or relatives, which is not only cool, but also relaxing. However, in ancient times, they used to swim in the water to escape the heat, but they may not be as open as we are now, and most of them play in the water at home. Ancient cold pillows were mainly made of bamboo, which was woven into hollow cylindrical bamboo strips with meshes. It's cool to sleep with a pillow at night.

Describe the activities of the ancients in hot summer.

Ice cubes have always been a magical summer item. In ancient times when ice-making technology was underdeveloped, the way that the ancients could think of was to store ice in winter and use it when the summer heat was unbearable. This practice appeared as early as the Zhou Dynasty.

It is recorded in Zhou Li that in order to provide the Zhou royal family with ice in summer, a special organization "Ice Administration" was set up at that time, and its director was called "Lingren". In winter, ice pickers take ice from the frozen river and store it in the ice room for next summer. In The Book of Songs in July, "The second day, the ice rush, the third day, closed in Lingyin." This is the case.

In the Tang dynasty, people found that saltpeter absorbed a lot of heat when it was dissolved in water, which could make the water cool and freeze, and then they mastered the method of making ice in summer. "The pavilion accumulates ice, and the air flies and melts." Put the ice cubes in the room, let them give off a little chill, so as to achieve the purpose of cooling down and removing summer heat. However, for a long time, ice cubes were reserved only for dignitaries.
