American beauties travel to China, telling the truth that everything is fine in China. Why do they say that the habit of drinking hot water is unfriendly?

In the eyes of our people, nothing can't be solved with a cup of hot water. Now is the female physiological period, drink more hot water! You are sick with a cold, drink more hot water! Stomach ache and bloating are uncomfortable, so drink more hot water ... In short, no matter what the situation, nothing can't be solved by hot water. Hot water is like a panacea, omnipotent!

When Americans travel to China, they find that the kettle carried by children is full of hot water, the driver's thermos cup is full of hot water, the backpacker's bag is full of hot water, and the uncles and aunts carry hot water in their hands. Americans will look surprised and shout, "Why?" It is difficult for them to understand our China people's complex about hot water. In fact, this just shows the correspondence between eastern and western cultures. It is difficult for us to understand their culture, and naturally they will not understand our hot water feelings. Then the question is, what do Americans drink without hot water? The answer is: "Ice water!" Yes, you're right, it's ice water!

In the eyes of Americans, they don't have any health concepts such as stomachache and body cold. When you ask them why they drink ice water, they will only say that ice water is delicious and will not tell you the cause and effect. On the contrary, when they ask us why we drink hot water, we will tell them responsibly that hot water can not only keep healthy, but also provide warmth and drive away the cold. The American beauty mentioned in the title came to China in the cold winter, but she asked for a glass of ice water when she came to the restaurant for dinner! The waiter will also look blank and naturally tell her that there is no ice water to provide. We only have hot water, warm water. Then she will say that everything is delicious in China, and the habit of hot water is not good.

In fact, this is related to foreigners' physique and traditional culture. American women are not afraid to drink ice water when giving birth. Even the children in kindergarten eat milkshakes, milk and other foods taken out of the refrigerator. Therefore, they have the habit of drinking ice water in winter and summer, and hot water and ice water naturally form the opposition of two cultures.
