"Ondol" is the warmest product unique to the cold and icy region, and it is very common in Northeast China, even now, there is still a habit of using fire pits in winter in the rural areas of Northeast China.
But,The "fire kang" has never been understood by outsidersThis is just like the cognitive bias of "dry cold and wet cold in the north and south". What's even more interesting is that many people have seen it on the Internet, saying that every winter, the family will huddle on a kang to rest. This kind of scene of "living in the same house" makes many people not understand, isn't it embarrassing for young couples?
In winter, everyone "lives in the same house", which is a lot of people who have never been to the Northeast and do not understand the local living habitsMisunderstandings generated
With the rapid development of the Internet, many people do not use the Internet to promote their hometown, but on the contrary, in order to attract the attention of others, they have come up with some incredible operationsSimilar to the introduction of the Northeast Fire Kang, it turned out to be a family "living in the same house".
These bloggers lead people into misunderstandingsoften do some "eye-catching" **, so that outsiders mistakenly think that it is real, but in fact, this is all ignorance of local life.
In the past, when the urban development was not as developed as it is now, the ondol was almost the "standard" of every household in the northern region, and it can be said that every household could not do without it, after all, it can provide the warmth of winter, make people not afraid of the cold, and make winter life more happy.
At that time, as soon as you enter a friend's house, you will inevitably enter the "bedroom" of the master's house, and then someone will greet you:"On this cold day, hurry up and take off your shoes and get on the kang, it's hot on the kang! ”
And when it's time to eat, all of them will be on the kang; Then, when it is time to rest at night, they will rest on the head of the pit. In short, the kang head is assembled".living room, dining room, bedroom"., practical and strong at the same time, so that outsiders are very incomprehensible. Especially when you sleep and rest at night, isn't this embarrassing for everyone?
In fact, this problem is not as complicated as you think, and it is also important to sleep on a kang in the Northeast. Each person's sleeping place is also relatively independent, and they also have their own bedding, which is not much different from resting alone.
In addition, once the children in the family reach adulthood,Parents will arrange a separate room for the band to live in, and there is also a separate kang in the room, belong to the separate room to rest, not to say that they are all huddled together to rest, which everyone can dispel their concerns.
This can give you a positive answer - no!
After all, the previous standard of living and the current standard of living are completely different, and it is obvious even in the countryside.
In the past, although the standard of living in rural areas was limited, it did not mean that even fire pits could not be built. Even in the past, there were either two or three houses in the countryside, and parents and adult children lived completely independently.
However, most of the usual meals are carried out in the parents' room, because these few burn a pit can save some costs. At night, the fire pit in the children's room is also used, and the temperature is the same as that of the parents' roomThat is, to use the fire pit independently, naturally it will not be embarrassing.
Especially for newlywed couples, parents pay more attention to it, when the two talk about the object, the parents will decorate the room early, and even re-set a hot fire pit, so that the newlyweds do not have to worry about the cold in the room. To put it simply, it is a newlywed couple who have their own independent room and their own independent fire pit, and they don't have to squeeze in a fire pit with their parents at all, so naturally there is no embarrassment.
Before the two of them have children, no one else will use this kang to use it, and once the child of the young couple is born, this kang will have to be used with the children. When the time is right, the child will have a separate room to use, and this has been the case for generations.
Looking at the current northern countryside, the standard of living has improved very significantly, and fire pits are rare, but there are still them, because the current heating methods are also diverse, there areEnergy-saving boilers, with air heating, and electric heatingYou don't have to worry about getting cold in the house.
Therefore, parents and children live separately at a very early age, and children have their own independent warm rooms at an early age, and there is no need to squeeze any pit with their parents. And now parents are not willing to squeeze the kang with their children, and it is quieter to live separately.
Therefore, there is no embarrassment or embarrassment, they have their own ondol, and they will not be crowded with their parents, and the personal privacy of newlyweds can also be guaranteed, how can there be these embarrassing problems?
Having said so much, I believe some people will say, are all the ** on the Internet about northerners squeezing on a pit to rest in winter all fake? Believe it not! It must be more or less real!
Here it is said that the northern regions are cold during the winterThere have indeed been times when the whole family huddled on a kang to eat and rest, but it is a very small number, it is limited by the conditions at the time, there is no way to do this, and this situation will not occur if there are any conditions.
Specifically, there are several reasons:
1.The conditions at home are limited
For families with very difficult conditions, according to the lack of money to build a new house, there is no choice but to build a new kang in the original houseIt is also known as the "North and South Kang", and a curtain is hung in the middle.
At this time,The whole family had to huddle into one room, but not a kangThis point should be clear.
It is normal for parents to take them to rest with them only when the children are young, and there is nothing strange about them.
2.Temporary guests
If there are a lot of relatives and friends in the house, and there is not enough kang at home for them to rest separately, then they will stay for one night, and everyone will be crammed into a pit. But everyone has their own futon, and the host family will allocate the place according to kinship, so that they are not embarrassed by each other.
This kind of temporary cramming in a pit only occasionally appears, and it is much stronger than the outside where the weather is cold.
3.Energy saving costs
In the past, the fire pit was made of wood, and at that time once the house appearedThere is not enough woodIn this case, it may be possible to save a little and let the children all squeeze into a kang to rest. The family here is also their own children, firstly, the children are not resistant to frost, and secondly, they can pay attention to the children's situation at any time.
At present, most of the heating is made of coal, so there will be a cost to buy coal. If parents want to save a little, then only burn the east house, and the children's west house does not heat it, so as to save money on coal. At this time, the parents will also take their children to sleep in the same fire pit. However, this situation has occurred in the past, and it is basically difficult to happen now. After all, the standard of living has risen. A family will not save this little money for heating, so that the whole family is crammed into a pit.
