Chi Ri Yan, July, is the highest average temperature in most areas across the country. The "heat" words such as small summer, Sanfu, and Da Suma came from this month. Xinhe, cicada, watermelon, and peaches, nature meets the summer in the new material, and people also start to "blow air conditioners and eat cold drinks". Thanks to the development of modern technology, our summer can be quite comfortable. So, how did the ancients spend the ancients a thousand years ago?

Forest forests, the fun of summer

"The weather is hot, find a cool place to stay." Summer avoidance is not the patent of our modern people. There are a lot of footprints for the ancients to look for. It is the best place for summer.

In nature, there is a cool place, and the cooling of the lake, forests, and caves is a more common method. The Qiantang celebrity Gao Yan in the Ming Dynasty shared his experience of going to fly to the cave to avoid the summer in his "Four Awards Review Records": "Ling Mi Mountain, the cave is exquisite, and it is revealed in the western region. Liangshi is cold, and the trail is stubborn. The hole is steep in the cave, the high altitude is as high as the hall, the narrow side fights the room, and there are no people to the top. Three volts smoke people, muscle bones, sits in this placket, sing the wine, sing, sting, Chuanwu Valley should be cold, I do n’t know why the world is now. "Countless literati and Merk guests will avoid the summer aspects of summer. Elegant.

Although there are a lot of coolness in the natural situation, it is always unavoidable to avoid the hardships of the boat and car, so the ancients started their brains in the summer of the summer. "May Furong Water Palace Liang", the wind is giving a lotus incense, and the hydrophilic coolness is the joy of the world. Some people diversify the water to the household, and build a pavilion and a water hall.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a kind of "cold house" built in the water, or it was used to promote the fan wheel by similar water vehicle, or used the machine to pass the water to the roof, and then down the eaves. Send into the house. There is also a kind of cool house, which is more complete in design. There is an evidence: Huo Xian villa, which is opened in the hall, all over the carved disk. Xia Yue sat on it, Qixi was born cool, and he did not know the summer heat.

Cut the ice with ice, cool down the tricks

In "A Dream of Red Mansions", there have been many salivated summer ice drinks such as rose dew, wooden dew, sour plum soup, and herbal tea. In fact, the history of the ancients has a long history of ice. The Book of Songs is recorded in chiseling and hiding ice. The monthly ice, the ice hid in the ice cellar in January. Because the ancient ice cubes were very precious, it was basically unique to the nobles of the officials at the beginning. The ice cubes are placed indoors, exuding cool air like a "original air conditioner", cooling and cooling heat. There are also some ice cubes that are made into various freezing points, and the crispy mountains in the Tang Dynasty are the case. "Crispy" is a dairy product. The method is to heat the "crispy" to a state of nearly melting, very soft, and then dripping into the vessels such as the plate, pouring the shape of the mountains, and finally frozen in the ice cellar. The finished product is a food with a sense of modern ice cream.

With the development of the economy, in the Song Dynasty, some merchants also built their own small -scale ice cellars and created various ice food. Some people are very popular after processing the food like cow milk, which is very popular. In "Tokyo Menghua Record", eating ice walks into ordinary people's homes, and uses green cloth umbrella along the street.

In the summer, the ancients had a wonderful trick in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. "Light -colored shirts are light like fog, spinning veil is thin from the cloud", light and breathable shirts; not lonely.
