Preface
"The north relies on heating for the winter, and the south relies on shaking for the winter. ”
Heating is a distant dream for every Southerner in the winter.
In Japan, which is colder than the southern part of the mainland, the lowest temperature is minus 42 degrees Celsius, and heating is even rarer.
Why don't Japanese people like heating? How do they survive the winter? Could it be that Japanese people are not afraid of the cold?
1. Japanese heating methods
Although the weather in Japan is cold, it also has its own unique way of keeping out the cold.
The most commonly used is air conditioning, and in many public places, Japan will turn on air conditioning for heating, although it is air conditioning heating, but it does not rely only on machines for heating.
You must know that there are still many volcanoes in Japan, so the source of heating is to rely on the natural heating under them for heating, which is transported into public places through pipes.
Of course, this can only be used in public places with large spaces, and some electrical appliances are needed for heating at home.
There is a kind of heating equipment that you may have heard of for the first time, and it is called "kotatsu" in Japan.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand, it is composed of a stove table, a table mat and a quilt, and the quilt is placed on the stove table, and it is very warm just thinking about it.
Not only can you keep warm, but you can also strengthen the relationship between family members, and it is wonderful to sit and chat with the whole family in the winter.
As we all know, Japanese people like to sleep on the floor, so the geothermal blanket is naturally placed under every Japanese mattress, the geothermal blanket can precisely control the temperature, and a humidifier is placed in the house to provide humidity to prevent the discomfort caused by drying.
Not every household uses the same kind of equipment, and there is an unexpected heating equipment, that is, the oil furnace.
Generally, stoves are used to cook rice, but this type is used for heating.
"Oil stoves" don't really burn oil.
Of course, in order to improve the safety of oil furnaces.
Japanese manufacturers have converted it to electrically powered equipment for heating, and with the addition of high-efficiency heat engines, it has become an indispensable part of the Japanese winter, affectionately known as the "winter savior" by many Japanese people.
In addition to relying on various heating equipment to survive the winter, Japanese people also like to soak in hot springs.
Due to the unique geographical conditions, hot springs are relatively common in Japan, so they have been Xi to soak in hot springs in the harsh winter since ancient times. This Xi has also greatly enhanced the ability of the Japanese to withstand the cold.
However, as a developed country, Japan has a very high per capita income, so why don't most Japanese people like to install heating?
2. Why don't you use heating in Japan?
The reason why Japanese people don't use heating is not because they don't like it, but because there are objective reasons.
First of all, Japan will use thermal insulation materials when decorating houses, which can isolate the heat inside the house from the cold outside, reduce the cold air entering the house, and keep the temperature inside the house constant.
Because of the materials of the house, the possibility of using heating is greatly reduced.
As we all know, Japan is located at the junction of the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate, and due to the extrusion of the plates, Japan has many volcanoes and earthquakes.
Due to volcanoes and earthquakes, secondary damage will occur to heating pipes, and in severe cases, heating leakage and other problems.
This has forced Japanese people to give up even if they really want to use heating.
Everyone also knows that in order to use heating, it is necessary to exist in a very safe environment for a long time, and there are quite a lot of pipes laid in each house, and the materials consumed are still quite large.
Another practical reason is that heating is too "cost-effective" for Japanese people.
Japan is known to be a resource-poor country, very short of oil and gas, and heavily dependent on imports.
Everyone also knows that anything that needs to be imported is very expensive.
As a result, if Japan adopts central heating, it will inevitably be expensive, and it will be difficult for ordinary Japanese residents to afford such prices. Naturally, heating is not widely available in Japan.
At the end of the day, the fact that Japanese people don't use heating is mainly an "economic account".
There is another important reason why Japanese people don't like to use heating, and that is that Japanese people are really "frost-resistant".
3. Japan Uchi Kotoku "Cold Resistance"
Compared to most countries, Japanese people are generally more "not afraid of the cold".
In winter, even when the temperature reaches minus a few degrees, women and children are dressed relatively "thinly", as if winter has nothing to do with them, isn't winter in Japan as cold as we think?
Actually, this is not the case, take Japanese school uniforms as an example.
Many Japanese schoolgirls wear skirts even in the harsh winter. But there is actually a reason for this, because the school uniform is designed this way, and the school also has a rule that girls need to show their legs, which will reflect the confidence of young people.
It is said that the Japanese have a special tradition in winter, and they practice this tradition from an early age.
This tradition is named "cold training" by the Japanese.
It means taking off your shirt and going for an outdoor run in the winter as a way to improve your physical fitness and increase your ability to withstand the cold, even for children.
Children in Japan take off their shirts and race in the cold winter to resist the cold and improve their physical fitness.
Of course, the cold is not so easy to get through, and it is also necessary to install a heater on the travel equipment to resist the cold.
This alone is not enough, because food is always a source of body heat, and resistance to the cold will always play a vital role.
Japanese people also need to eat some hot food to provide calories to their bodies.
Japanese people have a way of eating in winter, they will eat a lot of nourishing foods in winter, such as various boiled foods, nutritious fish, kelp soup, etc., which can provide enough calories to resist the cold.
In addition, many people do not understand that many people wear socks when they go to bed in winter, but it is a way to protect against the cold.
end
Japanese people rarely use heating, but they have their own unique way of heating.
However, there is no need to learn Xi from them, after all, the body is your own, and the most important thing in winter is to keep warm.
