Northeast Kang: Traditional Wisdom of Heating in Winter

Winter is coming, and the kang in the northeast is the favorite heating artifact of local people. A heated kang consists of a stove, a kang body and a chimney, which is a common bed type in the north. This article will introduce the manufacturing method and using skills of this kind of kang for you, so that you can feel warm and comfortable in cold winter.

Precise size

When you make a kang, you must first draw a perfect blueprint with accurate dimensions. The kang body is made of brick and cement, and square billet is not recommended. The kang made in this way can ensure warmth and comfort.

When using kang, you should fill the hole with stones or other refractory materials. Put more at the end of the kang and less at the end of the kang. No, the fortress is too tight! This can ensure the heating effect of the kang.

Wide application range

This kind of kang is suitable for all kinds of occasions, not only in the hall or bedroom, but also outdoors. It should be noted that the exhaust duct should be built outdoors, so that the smoke can be discharged smoothly. Just put the regulating vent in an inconspicuous but convenient place indoors.

Huanggong heating

In the imperial palace of the Qing dynasty, there were also heating facilities such as kang. But their kang is located outside the temple pavilion, and the heat is sent to the bottom of various buildings through underground fire exits. This is the case with some palaces in the Forbidden City. The fire hole is located under the porch outside the palace, which is convenient for refueling and cleaning up ashes.
