Dongbeikangtou

A brief introduction to Dongbeikang is as follows:

The northeast kang, the northeast big fire kang, originated from the northeast bungalow. In the absence of buildings, the kang is made of cement and mud, and is equipped with a stove. Coal is usually added to the stove, which makes the kang itself very hot, hence the name "Huokang".

Kang is a "warm bed" for northerners. Although most buildings in northern cities have no kang but beds, kang appeared much earlier than beds. Zhang Guoqing made textual research in the article "The Origin of the Northern People's Custom of Going to the Kang", and "The Biography of Korea in the New Tang Dynasty" contained: "(He) is a long kang in winter, and he burns a warm fire under it".

Based on this, it is concluded that Koguryo people invented the kang. In fact, however, it is wrong to say that Kang in China originated from Koguryo. Kang was invented by us Han people. The total area of Dongheishan Site in Dongheishan Village, xushui county, Baoding City is about 6.5438+0.5 million square meters.

The site lasted from the Warring States, Han Dynasty, Tang and Song Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with rich connotations. The fire-resistant kang found in Dongheishan site can be traced back to the early and middle Western Han Dynasty, which advanced the history of the origin of China fire-resistant kang by more than 1000 years and provided new materials for studying the origin of fire-resistant kang.

In the northeast, except buildings, most residents who live in bungalows still live in heated kang. Living on the kang has many advantages, besides being warm and comfortable, it can also prevent rheumatic legs. Kang is made of brick now. Adobe was used before.
