In the cold of winter, Chinese families turn on the heating facilities and enjoy the warm atmosphere indoors.
At the same time, people are pondering the question of why people generally do not use heating in Japan, no matter how cold the winter is.
The Japanese are reluctant to install heating because of their concern for the risk of earthquakes.
Due to Japan's unique geographical location, earthquakes are frequent, and if an earthquake causes a pipeline to burst, it can cause serious consequences.
For this reason, due to safety concerns, Japanese people rarely use central heating.
Although they don't have traditional heating equipment in their homes, this doesn't mean that the Japanese suffer from the cold in winter.
In fact, they put a lot of effort into the construction technology, such as using insulating materials such as extruded polystyrene panels to insulate the heat, and they also designed a series of sophisticated door and window constructions that allow the indoor temperature to be maintained for a long time after the doors and windows are closed.
One of the ways in which the Japanese have ingenuity and ingenuity in heating is the widespread use of kotatsu, which is a small stove that is placed under the dining table and supplied with heat when the power is turned on.
There are many types of kotatsu stoves on the market now, and it is easy for ordinary families to buy. In addition to kotatsu, electric blankets are also popular because their internal circuitry is detachable and washable directly, making them extremely safe and convenient.
On the other hand, the older generation of Japanese, especially those living in rural areas, still maintain the tradition of using kerosene stoves.
This device has a similar appearance to a fireplace, burning kerosene to generate heat, and although it is not common in urban areas, it does provide a warm way for some people to heat their homes.
There are also a considerable number of households that rely on air conditioning for heating, which is not as effective as heating, but improves the indoor environment to a certain extent.
In the face of the cold, the Japanese have shown amazing perseverance and adaptability.
From the way children are taught to wear less in kindergarten to improve their physique, to the winter endurance races organized by schools, to the focus on calorie supplementation in the diet, these are all examples of the unique way the Japanese cope with winter.
Compared with Chinese Xi, Japanese society places more emphasis on cultivating the ability of individuals to resist the cold and a resilient personality.
This cultural difference is reflected in various aspects of daily life, such as the Xi of dressing, many Japanese women still maintain the style of wearing skirts in winter, in contrast to the tendency of Chinese women to choose warm tights.
Regarding the problem of "old cold legs", studies have shown that cold does not directly lead to old cold legs, but it does worsen existing symptoms.
Well, although the Japanese and Chinese have different lifestyles, their concern for health is equally important.
The Japanese have succeeded in constructing an environment and lifestyle that can adapt to the cold of winter by relying on advanced building materials and innovative modifications to traditions under harsh natural conditions.
