Ancient people didn't have air conditioning. How do they sleep in hot summer?

In ancient times, rich families moved in summer, just like kings, they all had their own summer resorts. As for the poor, I think it may be to lay a mat under the tree at night and listen to the cicada singing to sleep, because there is still a breeze at night. However, the literate ancients were calm, naturally cool, and felt hot when they slept, but it was much cooler when they got up to read, but we modern people really couldn't learn this method.

Generally speaking, ancient buildings are quite heatstroke-proof. The ancients liked to have a small pool in their yard. If there is water, evaporation will absorb heat. It is reasonable to say that it won't be hot at home in summer. If the ancients had tea that likes to clear away heat and fire, they should seldom suffer from heatstroke. Rich people's quilts are all made of fine silk. They are comfortable to cover in summer and don't have to worry about sleeping at night.

If you miss the nobles in the palace, the servants will give you a fan when you sleep at night, and they will also store ice cubes in winter for summer use. They can also eat iced fruits and tea in summer like us, which is really cool. Ordinary people can only fan themselves with cattail leaf fans. When the weather is hot, they go to the Woods to avoid the sun. Mountain areas are also cool places. Maybe they go to the mountains together occasionally.

In the evening, put a mat under the big tree in front of the house. The whole family is lying on the mat, talking and laughing. It's cool. It will be windy and cool at night. No matter how hot it used to be, people carried it through. Nowadays, people can't stand the heat at all and become more and more melodramatic, but air conditioning is really a good thing, which is the progress of the times. Ancient people must envy.
