The summer of Qianlong for eight years is the hottest summer in the history of China. How hot is it?

According to historical records, the summer of Qianlong eight years is the highest temperature at present, and it is said that the temperature is as high as 44.4 degrees Celsius. At that time, the weather was hot not only in Beijing, but also in Tianjin, Shanxi, Shandong and Hebei. At that time, Emperor Qianlong had never experienced such a hot summer. He specially wrote a poem to lament the heat of this summer. There is a sentence in the poem "Hot" written by Emperor Qianlong, which shows that he has a fever and his heart is next to Guizhou and Lebanon. Even the emperor feels that he has suffered from the heat in his palace every day, and the people are even more miserable. According to historical records, there were more than 11 thousand people who died in the heat, and some people were not counted. Tens of thousands of lives have been harvested this summer.

In the early days of the rule, China's economy, politics and culture reached their peak, and its prosperity greatly exceeded that of all previous dynasties, including Han and Tang Dynasties. The great development of agriculture in Qianlong period was due to social stability. The Qing court in the Central Plains attached importance to agricultural production, rewarded reclamation and reduced taxes. However, during the Qianlong period, China ushered in the hottest summer in history, which really made us imagine that when there was no air conditioning, people could not enjoy products comfortably in cold and hot as in modern times. At the temperature of 40 degrees, people have to live and work in hot weather. In June of the eighth year of Qianlong, because the weather was too hot, the water was evaporated and there was no water to drink. Everyone died of thirst. The furniture, utensils, pots and pans at home are extremely hot, and the heat can only be dissipated by drinking water. It's hard to sleep on a sultry night. Moreover, unlike modern times, there was sunscreen for air conditioning in ancient times. Coupled with the feudal heat at that time, it was necessary to wear long clothes to cover the whole body. It's hot to think about it. Therefore, I think it is not an exaggeration for tens of thousands of people to die of heat at that time, and some archaeologists have confirmed that it is true. I'm glad I was born in 2 1 century, and my living standard is not bad.
