Our famous poet Su Shi died in the heat. How did this happen? Let me see. At that time, the Empress Dowager, who was in power in the Southern Song Dynasty, died, and the court was surging up and down, and the new party and the old party crowded out each other. In the end, the new party won and the old party minister lost power. Su Shi was also demoted to Ning Yunjun, who was now in Hunan, was demoted to Guangzhou a few years later and then to Hainan. Hainan at that time was not like a tourist attraction now. At that time, it was like a virgin forest. It is hot all year round, not to mention summer. Finally, after Song Huizong came to power, he recalled Su Shi, but at this time Su Shi was old, overworked and unbearable in summer heat. On the way back, he drove the crane to the west.
The hot weather is one of the reasons for this, and Su Shi's poor physical fitness is also one of the reasons. In fact, the ancients would not sit still. We can even make four great inventions, and we will certainly come up with various ways to deal with the heat. In the pre-Qin period, people used ice to preserve food or cool down. They will store a lot of ice in winter, put it in a deep cellar and take it out in summer.
For the royal family, the summer resort is a good place, like the one built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi? Chengde mountain resort? Still in the Han Dynasty? Cool hall? Blowers even appeared in the Song Dynasty, which should be the same as the current fans. However, the above-mentioned things are only aimed at the royal family. For ordinary people, is a watermelon soaked in cold water or a sweet well water taken from the bottom of a well for summer? Sharp weapon? Yes
