Why is Chongqing called one of the "three furnaces"?

The three furnaces in the history of our country are Nanjing, Wuhan and Chongqing. They all have one thing in common, that is, it is very hot in summer, and it can even be defined as a high temperature area. Chongqing is located in the basin, surrounded by rolling mountains, and it is not easy to disperse after the temperature rises in summer, especially in summer, which lasts for five months, and it is also a city with a long summer time in Lingnan area, so Chongqing is called a stove.

I. Geographical Location of Chongqing Chongqing is located in the provincial administrative region of central and western China. It lies in the transitional zone between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Chongqing is surrounded by mountains, most of which are 400 meters above sea level. Moreover, Chongqing has a subtropical monsoon climate, and the hottest temperature in summer can reach 29 degrees Celsius. Some friends may think that 29 degrees Celsius is not high, but Chongqing is surrounded by mountains on all sides, so the heat in Chongqing is sultry and suffocated by the mountains on all sides. Therefore, Chongqing is one of the three major stoves, and it is also because it is surrounded by mountains and its geographical shape is like a stove.

Second, in the summer of Chongqing, a friend who has been to Chongqing said that there are two things that I can't stand most in Chongqing. One is that when eating, if there is no air conditioning or the air conditioning refrigeration effect is not good, it will feel like being fished out of the water after eating. Another thing is to go to the toilet, because no one can afford to install air conditioning in the toilet, so it feels like a sauna after going to the toilet. It can be seen that Chongqing is very hot in summer, but at the same time Chongqing is also a place rich in beautiful women. Perhaps because of the hot environment, women are hot and hot, and many men in Chongqing are afraid of their wives.

Third, Chongqing relieves summer heat Chongqing people still like to eat hot pot in summer, because in their concept, the pepper in hot pot has the function of removing moisture, and this is also because the heat in Chongqing is humid and hot. Eating hot pot can not only supplement water and salt, but also eliminate moisture in the human body.
