When did people in China start drinking hot water?

China people drank hot water as early as Xia Dynasty, but there was not enough fuel at that time because of economic and productivity reasons, so the people at the bottom of ancient China generally could not drink hot water, but the real citizens drank hot water after 1949, when the national government comprehensively strengthened the promotion of drinking hot water.

Lu Yu also mentioned in the Book of Tea that there is a difference between boiled water, boiled water, boiled water and boiled water. When making tea, pay attention to two boiled waters and drink them "while they are hot". It is clear here that tea should be drunk while it is hot. The Book of Tea has a far-reaching influence on later generations. Tea, as a hot drink, has not changed since its spread. Perhaps it is because it is so natural for China people to drink hot tea and then plain water in China.

In the Republic of China, people in China still didn't want to drink hot water. It was not until western bacteriology was introduced into China that the government and other social classes began to encourage people to drink hot water. Therefore, in China's economically developed southeast coastal cities, such as Shanghai and Wuhu, there have been boiling water shops specializing in supplying hot water, but they have not achieved the popularization of drinking hot water for all.

It was not until 1949 that Central patriotic health campaign committee repeatedly appealed to people to drink boiled water and sterilized water. Since then, the concept of drinking hot water has penetrated into the hearts of ordinary people in rural areas of China. At that time, hot water was successful in China, and many people began to change their drinking habits, boiling water before drinking.

The earliest archeological kettle prototype came from Xia Dynasty, which is a ceramic product. At that time, a kettle was boiled to help people in China boil water and cook porridge, which was also the earliest object discovered by China to prove that people in China drank hot water.
