How did the ancient nobles keep warm in the cold winter?

With the coming of winter, many friends who are afraid of cold have begun to put on thick cotton-padded clothes. Under the warm effect, we feel very comfortable, but many people can't help but think about how the ancients spent the cold winter in ancient times. How do they keep warm?

There is a story about a farmer in the Song Dynasty who often wears messy clothes for the winter. When I was farming in spring, I was basked in the sun, and then I couldn't help turning to my wife and saying that it was so warm with my back to the sun, and no one else knew the secret. I have to tell the monarch quickly that I will be rewarded handsomely.

This is a joke. In fact, in addition to relying on the sun for heating, the ancients already had many modern heating equipment and measures. Of course, for the lowest-level farmers, this natural heating method without spending money will not be ignored when the sunshine is good enough during the day.

The fireplaces and fire walls in the Qin and Han dynasties are no different from those in the northeast. Warm fireplaces and firewalls keep these wealthy families warm for the winter. Isn't this great wisdom?

In addition to these petty bourgeoisie fireplaces, the royal nobles also have excellent temperature-controlled halls and rooms. At that time, they could control the temperature at will, which was much more bullish than the modern boiler room.

Will there be many girls holding hand warmers in winter? This thing is easy to carry and can be taken out at any time. Do you think this is unique to our modern times? No, it was also in ancient times! Portable braziers, hand warmers and other heating supplies are standard for big families. Ladies of large families will bring hand warmers in winter. For men, most literati will burn coal by washing their feet. In autumn and winter, it is more elegant to recite poems against the footbath!

Among many ways of heating in ancient times, Bai Juyi, a layman in Xiangshan, is the most romantic and gentle. In a suggestion to my friend Liu, he wrote: "Green ants bake new wine, there is red stirring in the quiet stove, and it feels like snow at dusk outside. How about a glass of wine inside?" ? "In a few words, the lonely winter and snowy days are full of vitality.

That's true. Isn't the best way to keep warm on a freezing snowy day a few drinks with friends? Green ant baking wine, red mud stove, whether you drink this wine or not, you can't help being warm inside, can you? This is also a model that many of us like, similar to our gathering with good friends to eat hot pot in winter!
