I was watching short videos and was seen by ancient people

Chapter 120: How to make the Northeast Fire Kang after reading it in one go? (one)

[How to make a Northeastern fire kang after watching it in one go? # NortheastWarm#Differences between North and South]

[Build a beautiful and practical big fire pit by yourself to protect us from the cold in winter.

The structure of the kang here is much more complicated than that of the bed, and the construction methods are also different. There are hole kang, flower kang and hollow kang.

Among them, Dongkang is built on the ground with several small walls about eight rows of bricks high, dividing the space into several tunnels. The two ends are left empty so that the tunnels can be connected. They are covered with adobe, stone slabs or red bricks and covered with composite sand. Smooth it with mud or white ash.

The flower kang is a development of the hole kang. The small wall is only half the height, and red bricks are placed on it for support. It can also be covered with red bricks, but the rest of the methods are the same.

As for the hollow kang, which is more advanced, it is only supported by a few red brick pillars and covered with a few large cement boards. The rest is the same as the hollow kang and the flower kang.

The hollow kang is said to be advanced because it has a large internal space and is not easily blocked by pyrotechnic ashes. It is often possible to build a kang without having to remove the ashes for ten or eight years.

However, all kangs have one characteristic, that is, one end leads to the chimney and the other end has a stove.

In our Northeast, we can survive the cold winter only if we have a kang at home.

...]

According to the explanation, only one person was seen in the video, and he was constantly busy.

He first covered the ground with sand and then placed some bricks on top.

The bricks were then poured with water, covered with cement, and reinforced with steel bars.

After doing all this, he used a ruler to measure the angle at the position he had already chosen to find the common height above.

After all, it is a kang for people to sleep on, so the top must be flat.

After finishing this, he moved the bricks, mixed the cement, and started to build the kang.

After building the surrounding areas to a common height, he also made some adjustments to the smoke inlet and outlet, and also built some support pillars inside, and then started to put the prefabricated cover on the kang.

After doing all this, he began to mix the mud with grass again.

Then they spread a thick layer of mud on the kang. After spreading it, they burned the kang to dry.

To prevent it from drying out, they poured some water on it and then put some cement on it.

After doing all this, a kang is completed.

Qin Dynasty.

When Qin Shihuang saw the kang on the canopy, he was a little confused. How did this thing keep warm?
But it doesn't matter, in Qin Shihuang's view, as long as it is useful.

If it is true as what is said on the sky screen, those soldiers living on the northern border will no longer be afraid of the cold.

Not only that, but those cold places in the north will also become his territory of Great Qin.

Thinking of this, Qin Shihuang once again called the Mohist disciples and asked them to take action quickly. He wanted to see the results seen by the weak today.

Not only did he see the warmth-preserving effect of the kang, Qin Shihuang was also curious about the cement used to build the kang.

He couldn't understand what this was?
When wet, it is like soil, but when dry, it is like stone.

If this thing is built into the Great Wall, I am afraid that the Xiongnu will never be able to attack Da Qin again.

Following Qin Shihuang's order, it didn't take long for the Mohist disciples to start building.

It was built in a short period of time.

Then Qin Shihuang ordered people to burn the kang. He wanted to see the effect of the fire kang himself to determine its effect on the bitter cold place.

As the fire starts to burn, you can slowly feel the warmth on the kang.

Qin Shihuang sat on it for a while and determined its function.

He quickly asked his guards to summon the ministers. He changed his mind about the bitter cold land and wanted to incorporate those lands into Da Qin.

Han Dynasty.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che had the same idea as Qin Shihuang, and wanted to apply this kind of kang to the bitter cold places in the north.

But compared to Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was also wondering whether this kind of thing could be used in the Huns' territory.

At the same time, I would also like to know if some important plants can be planted around the kang?

With this idea in mind, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che called in craftsmen and asked them to build a Kang in his palace.

As the craftsmen were busy all afternoon, they finally made a kang.

After all, compared with later generations who could use more materials, they could only build it in their own way.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che saw the kang that had been built and asked people to burn it.

After a while, I saw that the kang was full of warmth.

Seeing this result, Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty Liu Che was very happy.

Although the winter in his Chang'an City is not that cold, in the cold season, if there is such a thing, I am afraid no one can resist this temptation.

Not only that, the temperature on this kang is so high that if the high-yielding crops obtained two days ago are planted on it, they will probably take root and sprout and bear fruit early.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che ordered the craftsmen to build a kang, spread a thick layer of soil on it, and then planted a few sweet potatoes on it.

At the same time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che ordered people to take care of the sweet potatoes day and night to ensure the healthy growth of sweet potatoes.

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin and other ministers also saw the advantages of resistance. Like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they also saw his role in the bitter cold land.

At that time, the bitter cold land at the border will also be the land where people live.

In this way, the entire country will greatly improve its disaster tolerance, and they will no longer be troubled by disasters.

Not only that, the soldiers who attacked Goguryeo would not freeze to death in the cold season.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin made a decree to let the soldiers who attacked Goguryeo build fire pits on the spot to withstand the coming winter.

In addition, Li Shimin, like Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, planted the sweet potatoes he had just received on the Kang to ensure the healthy growth of the sweet potatoes in the cold season.

tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the fire bed on the sky screen, and he was not surprised.

This kind of measure was no longer a rare thing in the Ming Dynasty, and people living in the bitter cold places in the north relied on fire pits to resist the cold.

However, compared to the construction method on the canopy, the construction process of the Ming people was much more complicated.

But these are not important. What is important is that the people all over the world have seen the process of building a fire pit, and they will definitely decide whether they want to build a fire pit based on their own environment.

This is a good thing for Ming Dynasty, so that more of its people will no longer be afraid of the cold.

When people from all dynasties saw the method of making the fire kang on the canopy, they were also amazed that there was such a way to resist the cold in this world.

Those people living in bitter cold places took action even more.

Compared with the cold weather in the south that comes very late, the cold weather here has already arrived.

Every night, they would be woken up by the cold.

But this time the arrival of the fire pit allowed them to see warmth.

After an afternoon of construction, they completed the construction. After burning the fire, they sat on the warm kang, feeling full of happiness in their hearts.

They feel that with such resistance to the cold, there will be fewer and fewer difficult days in the future.
