What does Korea use for heating in winter?

In Korea, warm kang is used to keep warm in winter.

The way it works is to burn firewood in the kitchen or the pit outside the house to generate hot air, and then heat the room through the pipes under the house, which is similar to the floor heating in China, except that the Korean heating kang is fully paved, covering every corner of the house.

Usually, the warm kang in Korea will be combined with the wooden boards in the hall, which is closely related to the climate in Korea. The main climate in Korea is continental and maritime, with obvious changes in four seasons, hot in summer and cold in winter. Therefore, in order to enjoy the cool, Koreans will choose good boards when decorating;

In order to keep warm, the floor of the house is higher than the ground level, and the warm kang room is not big, so it is easy to keep a warm temperature. Combining the wooden boards in the hall with the warm kang has also become a major feature of Korean folk houses.

The warm kang has also well continued the Korean life culture. The living habit of Koreans is "sitting sideways". For example, after returning home, people take off their shoes and sit on the ground to rest. Even if there is a sofa at home, everyone is used to sitting on the ground to relax, and the older generation prefers to sleep directly on the ground.

For example, in the steaming room, people put on clothes after taking a shower and sit on the ground to eat eggs, drink rice juice and chat; Some restaurants are also "sitting" facilities, and the tables are not high. People sit cross-legged at the table and eat from bowls.

The warm kang provides a suitable temperature for the house in winter, so that Koreans can continue the habit of "sitting sideways", especially for families with children. Children crawl around on the ground in winter, so parents don't have to worry about catching cold and getting sick.
