Qianlong is called 8 years? The hottest summer in history? How hot was it? What happened?

The modern climate is getting worse and worse, not as cool and natural as in ancient times. But it has been recorded in the summer of Qianlong eight years. The hottest day in history? From July 20th to 25th, A.D. 1743, the daily temperature in Qing Dynasty was as high as 40 degrees. However, the highest temperature on the 25th is close to 45 degrees, so you should fry an egg on a stone. At this time, water is extremely tight and becomes more expensive than oil. It is said that as many as 1000 fat children in and out of Beijing were killed by heat. So what happened in such hot weather?

It is said that a French Christian missionary came to preach in the Qing Dynasty and happened to meet this extremely hot climate, so he wrote a letter and sent it back to France in all this. Is that it? The hottest summer in the history of China? According to the statistics of the Qing government after the disaster, as many as 1 1400 people died of heatstroke in and outside Beijing alone. Because of this, during the eight years of Qianlong, the summer temperature reached 44.4 degrees. Compared with 1999, the highest temperature in summer is 42.2 degrees, and the highest temperature in China is 42.6 degrees, which is actually the highest temperature in summer.

"Fushan County Records" describes the scene of that year, saying that it was hot in summer and May, and many passers-by died suddenly, especially in Beijing, and many people died of the heat. The description in Donghua's sequel is like this:? In June, Chen Bing Shi Jing Shu Wei? This book says that the summer heat happened in June, and the time mentioned in Qingcheng County Records also happened in June. The drought is thousands of miles away, the appliances in the home are hot, and the southwest wind bakes the plants and trees. In June, many people escaped from Wuding prefecture in the south of Tianjin, and most people on the road were killed by the heat? .

Through these records, we can analyze how hot the weather was at that time and what happened. First, the weather is so hot that all kinds of daily necessities at home are baked up. At that time, people couldn't stand the heat and fled in succession, trying to escape to cool areas for the summer, but on the way to escape, many people were killed by the sun and heat.

In addition, "Continued Tianjin County Records" has a more specific description, saying that May was extremely hot and scorched the soil and rocks, so many people were killed by the heat. Moreover, "Gaoyi County Records" also said that during the period from May 28th to June 6th in the eighth year of Qianlong, the weather was too hot to stop, and even the cool and heavy mud walls were baked like fire, but when the sun rose to noon (i.e. 12 noon), even tin and lead melted, and most people died of thirst.

This scene shows that the hot climate moved with the weather at that time and arrived in Tianjin from May 28th to June 6th. This time, the temperature may be higher, and even things like tin and lead will be melted, and people will die of thirst, which fully proves that most of the water sources have been evaporated, so people are hot and thirsty, and finally they will die of dehydration. It can be seen how terrible the heat at that time was, and its power far exceeded natural and man-made disasters, baking people like a stove.

Later, according to the letters of the French missionary, we found that he used the post-disaster data given by the Qing Dynasty at that time, saying that from July 14 to 25, as many as 1 1400 people died of heat in and around Beijing, but the actual death toll was estimated to be more than that, but looking at Beijing, a country with perfect facilities, so many people died of heat. Other cities and counties that are a little behind estimate that the death toll is higher.

However, people who have been working for eight years are facing such high temperatures? Kill the climate? At that time, what methods will be used to resist the survival of the organization? The main way for ordinary people to cool down is to drink more cold water. But at this time, water is scarce, and even the price is driven up by businessmen. The price of a glass of water once rose to 65,438+00 pence. Compared with the oil price in the Qing dynasty at that time, this water was simply more expensive than oil. Finally, many people can't afford to drink water, which makes more people die of thirst. In addition, as the emperor of the dynasty, Qianlong wrote a poem called "Hot" because it was too hot in the cold palace of the deep palace.
