There are people outside Yanmenguan. What do you mean by wearing leather clothes early, wearing gauze at noon and eating watermelon in the stove?

This poem is about the climate point in Turpan Basin. Turpan basin is far from the ocean and lives inland, belonging to a typical temperate continental climate. The temperate continental climate has not only a large annual temperature difference, but also a large daily temperature difference. The land heats up quickly and dissipates heat quickly. The temperature rises rapidly in the sun during the day and drops rapidly at night, resulting in low temperature in the morning and evening and high temperature at noon. In addition, Turpan is a basin with high terrain around, low terrain in the middle, high terrain and low temperature, low terrain and high temperature. At noon, the temperature at the bottom of the basin and its surroundings is already very high, but due to topographic factors, the temperature in the basin is even higher; In the morning, the temperature in and around the basin was already very low, and the cold around it, especially in Tianshan Mountain, made the bottom of the basin sink, so the temperature in the basin was even lower.

Therefore, Turpan has formed a unique landscape of "wearing leather in the morning, wearing gauze in the afternoon and eating watermelon around the stove". In the dead of winter in Xinjiang, whether it is biting cold or snowflakes flying, people can be seen eating watermelons or melons on the streets covered with falling snowflakes in many cities around the brazier, which is probably rare in other parts of the country. But in winter, Uighur hometown will take out watermelons and melons from the melon pit after dinner, set up a tin stove to invite everyone to eat melons, and let guests appreciate the customs of Xinjiang.
