Beginning: In Guangdong, whether in rural or urban areas, almost every household has installed air conditioning. However, it is strange that when the summer heat hits, Cantonese people do not hesitate to turn on the air conditioner to cool down;And in winter, even if the temperature drops sharply, few people turn on the air conditioner. This makes one wonder why Cantonese people can spend a lot of electricity bills to enjoy the cool in the summer without any distress, but would rather shiver with cold than turn on the air conditioner to heat up in the winterBody:
First of all, we need to understand the climatic characteristics of Guangdong. Guangdong is located in the south, and the summers are hot and humid, with temperatures often exceeding 30 degrees Celsius. This kind of hot weather has a great impact on people's physical health and quality of life. Therefore, the demand for air conditioning in Guangdong is very urgent, and they hope to be able to reduce the indoor temperature and create a comfortable living environment through air conditioning. This is also the reason why Cantonese people do not hesitate to turn on the air conditioner in summer.
However, when winter comes, the temperature in Guangdong, although dropped, is still relatively warm compared to the northern regions. Especially during the day, when the sun is shining, the indoor temperature is not very low. Therefore, the demand for turning on air conditioning and heating is not strong in Guangdong. In addition, Cantonese people generally prefer to wear thick clothes or cover multiple quilts to keep warm in winter, which they find more economical. This is one of the reasons why Cantonese people rarely turn on air conditioning and heating in winter.
Secondly, Cantonese people have a very strong awareness of saving electricity. Although Guangdong is an economically developed region, power resources are still limited. Therefore, Cantonese people pay great attention to saving electricity in their daily lives. In summer, due to the high frequency of use of air conditioners, Cantonese people have developed the habit of using air conditioners reasonably, and they will try to control the temperature and time of use of air conditioners to reduce energy waste. In winter, due to the low frequency of use of air conditioning and heating, Cantonese people believe that turning on air conditioning and heating will increase the burden of electricity consumption on the family, so they are more inclined to choose other ways to keep warm.
In addition, Cantonese people have a deep emotional and cultural identity with traditional heating methods. In the rural areas of Guangdong, people generally use traditional heating equipment such as stoves and charcoal stoves to survive the cold winter. These traditional heating methods not only provide warmth, but also create a strong family atmosphere and affection. In contrast, turning on the air conditioning and heating may feel unfamiliar and uncomfortable for Cantonese people. This is one of the reasons why Cantonese people prefer traditional heating methods in winter.
To sum up, Cantonese people do not hesitate to turn on the air conditioning to cool down in summer, but rarely turn on the air conditioning and heating in winter, mainly due to the climate characteristics of Guangdong, the awareness of saving electricity and the emotional identification with the traditional heating method. This phenomenon reflects the pursuit of a comfortable life and the respect for traditional culture of Cantonese people. Although this behavior may seem strange to the outside world, it is a natural choice for Cantonese people.
Conclusion: The "mystery of air conditioning" may be difficult to understand, but it reflects the pursuit of comfortable life and traditional culture of Cantonese people. Whether it is in summer or winter, Cantonese people will choose the most suitable heating method according to their own needs and changes in the environment. This flexible and rational way of thinking is worth learning and learning from. At the same time, we should also respect the living habits and cultural differences of different regions, and treat these seemingly strange behaviors with tolerance and understanding. Only in this way can we better promote exchanges and integration between different regions and jointly create a more harmonious and beautiful society.
