Women in the Tang Dynasty took fatness as beauty. How did they calm down?

Yes, the beauty in the Tang Dynasty was fat, but the beauty here is plump, not fat. During the Tang dynasty, there were two main ways to cool off the summer heat, one was cold water, and the other was ice compress. The weather in ancient times was not as hot as it is now, and in fact, ancient people didn't wrap themselves in three layers and three layers as in film and television dramas, but dressed lightly. In summer, a fan is enough in many places most of the time, and it will be very hot only for a short time.

During the Tang Dynasty, people mainly used cold water to cool off the heat, which was divided into two types: cold water flushing and cold water fan cooling off the heat. Generally speaking, a cold shower is a cold shower, which can be cooled for a long time after washing. Basically, you can take a bath and have a good sleep before going to bed at night. The cold water fan starts the fan blades by water, and then puts a pot of cold water in front of the fan to make the air full of water and naturally cool down. This is also the most commonly used heatstroke prevention method for ordinary people.

The way to cool the dignitaries is more advanced, using ice cubes to cool down. During the Tang Dynasty, there were special ice rooms in the palace, and some rich people outside the palace also had ice rooms to store ice cubes. The principle is to cut a lot of ice into the freezer in winter. The freezer is usually underground, so the ice is difficult to melt, enough for a whole summer.

There are two main types of ice cubes to cool down, one is to store food, and the other is an ice cube fan. In the Tang dynasty, there was a cabinet with wood outside and ice bricks inside, which were divided into many compartments. Each grid is independent and can be used to put food. Sometimes, for the sake of fresh food, the chef in the palace will use ice bowls, so that the food will be cold. The ice fan is a hole drilled outside the cabinet. Due to the large temperature difference between inside and outside, cold air will be released when the ice melts. With a fan, you can feel the full air conditioning, and the effect is comparable to that of modern air conditioning.
