As a northerner, I thought I fully understood the dry cold and annoying dust in northern winter, until that trip to Inner Mongolia gave me a new understanding of "cold". It is a kind of cold that makes you unprepared; That's the cold that makes you have nowhere to hide!
That year, I can't remember exactly which year. Beijing is already green in May, and the sunshine in spring warms my body. Young people can't wait to throw away their thick winter clothes. People in the street walk lightly, and occasionally they can see beautiful legs after a whole winter. This is really the most beautiful season of the year.
At that time, I had been with her for more than a year, and that was the first time I accompanied her back to her family. She reminded me: "My house is still cold." I nodded cleverly, dug out two sets of thermal underwear that had just been pressed to the bottom of the box a few days ago and put them in the suitcase.
Her hometown is not in the city, so we didn't choose to take the train, but took an intercity bus with a sleeper. I got on the bus at five or six in the afternoon and arrived at five or six the next morning. This is definitely a difficult journey.
The bus starts from Liuliqiao long-distance bus station, passes through Gubeikou, Lingyuan and Chengde, all the way over the mountains, slowly climbs and slowly descends. I remember holding my urine all the way and feeling so sour and cool.
When we arrived at our destination Ningcheng County, it was already dawn. I thought the nightmare was finally over, but the fact is that the nightmare seems to have just begun.
We finally got off the bus, and we were greeted by overwhelming yellow sand, which was a real dust explosion and covered the sky.
People in the street trudged along, wrapped in thick cotton-padded clothes. The biting cold wind penetrated my thin coat, and a cold I had never experienced diluted the urine I brought from Beijing. By her side, ready, she hugged me trembling and buried her head deeply in my chest. We hugged each other and were messy in the wind.
There is no TAIX in this place. A tricycle with a shed took us to her house. I was so excited when I saw five big tile houses in her house, and the hard journey finally came to an end.
I thought we were greeted by warm heatable adobe sleeping platform and hot air, but I was wrong again. She does have a heatable adobe sleeping platform to burn her ass, but there is no hot air in the room. Because it is a newly built house, the house is big and high, and that poor hot air is not enough to fill the spacious space. Although the biggest smoke and coal stove has done its best to release heat, it can obviously feel its deficiency.
In a word, I am sitting on a hot kang, with two layers of warmth and a quilt. I refused all invitations to go out and sat on the kang waiting for the good weather. Until that afternoon, I waited for the goose feather snow.
Maybe I exaggerated. Snowflakes are certainly not as big as goose feathers, but are about the same as chicken feathers of cockerel. It snowed heavily from afternoon till evening, and there was still snow water on the next day. The cold and wet air made my joints ache with cold. At this time, I have to face the most severe challenge, and I want to poop.
This process is very exciting. There is thick ice on the floor of the open-air toilet. As a result, I basically achieved my goal at a small cost, but that deep fear has always been with me.
Bad weather will eventually pass, just like the ups and downs of life. After the first two days, the weather improved. Although it's still cold, I'm getting used to it. After playing for a few days, I visited my relatives who should visit. A week later, we returned to warm Beijing again. The experience of these days has also become the talk of my friends.
This is my experience as a northerner in the north, which you won't know without personal experience. In addition, I also want to say, don't think that you have known the "North" just because you have been to a certain place in the north, but this place has millions of square kilometers! There are Northeast China, North China, Jin Meng, but so do dungans. They all have their own styles and personalities. If you want to know her, you should try to get close to her or walk into her.
Friends in the north certainly want to know more about the south. After all, "it's better to take Wan Li Road than to study in thousands of books". I hope all the friends who read this poor article can visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, but you must know the local climate before going to a place. This is my experience!
20 18 10 in mid-October, I flew from Guangdong to Taiyuan, Shanxi on business, only to know that heating had started there.
Wearing a short-sleeved white shirt in Guangdong, I shivered with cold when I left Wusu Airport. When I arrived at the hotel, I felt that I had found a dog's life.
The next day, fortunately, my colleague in the hospital gave me a thick coat before I dared to go out.
After doing things, go for a walk to nearby places and scenic spots. What is particularly unforgettable is revisiting Pingyao ancient city. I drank a lot of bamboo leaf green wine, and the streets smelled of old vinegar. I wandered aimlessly in this thousand-year-old city, feeling a little lonely but free.
Ha: Raising chickens and Tianshan Mountains;
One year, the couple raised three chickens, grew up a few months later and sold more than 30 thousand. The couple are so happy that they are not going to play in Xinjiang. Yunnan tourist bus went to Chengdu and spent three days in Chengdu. Chengdu Railway Station bought a ticket to Xinjiang. For a long time, waiting for Bao to ring the radio. When the Urumqi train arrives there, please get on the platform 3 in Xinjiang. I told my woman, this is a female guest, you go first, maybe you will be a male guest soon. After waiting for a long time, it has always been a female guest without a male guest. My heart was burning, so I asked the waiter? Why are there female passengers on the train instead of male passengers? The waiter asked me with a heavy heart. Traveling, (all guests call passengers: regardless of gender) A: No, my woman got on the bus in Urumqi this morning. The waiter said you didn't come. Let me contact the station to inform you that the woman is waiting for you at the exit. I asked, is the phone fast or the train fast? The waiter said that the telephone is much faster than the train. I went to Xinjiang with my mobile phone.
Along the way, I entered Xinjiang through Xi 'an and Lanzhou, which I have never seen before, and saw the Tianshan Mountains that I have never seen before. That's great. It's like a mountain that melts mountains and rivers. Glaciers meet the Soviet Union and face each other from a distance. Beautiful Xinjiang has big deserts, cotton and licorice, and is rich in world-famous Sydney. The origin of Sydney is Hakesu.
That year, the company arranged to study and visit Liaoyang. In August, I set out from Chongqing. When I got off the train station, a north wind blew, and I instantly became a dog. I hurried to the nearby shopping mall and bought a coat.
The air is dry and drinking water is completely useless. There must be a humidifier in the room, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable.
Pasta is very thick. I feel that as long as it is noodles, it is tenacious. Unlike the south, the northern food is atmospheric, and it feels like one dish can be eaten.
It was also in the north that I realized that I had to drink frozen wine in winter, but I couldn't drink it at room temperature.
There are many bathhouses, which are very comfortable to wash. The master's skill is quite good, and he feels that he has lost his skin for more than 20 years.
Girls in the north are particularly plump. I feel that I have gone to a world full of boobs, but my skin is not very good and poor.
Northerners talk funny and feel like listening to cross talk.
There are many things you can learn in the north, such as geography, climate, humanities, diet and so on. When I say north, I mean north of Qinling Mountains.
Only in the north can you know that wheat is planted in the endless green fields, not rice! I really can't see such a big wheat field before going to the north! When I get to the north, I will find that the mountains in winter can be so desolate! I can't find any green, not a leaf left!
Only in the north do you find that dry air will force you to drink dozens of bottles of water a day, which will lead to nosebleeds. On my first day in Beijing, in spring, I drank more than 20 bottles of water and still felt thirsty and scared. I thought I was sick. Later, when I got used to it, I realized that dryness was the norm.
I didn't know until I arrived in the north that I would eat jiaozi on the solstice in winter to avoid freezing my ears.
I didn't know until I arrived in the north that onions can be eaten raw directly, and they are not as spicy as I thought! Pasta can be eaten three times a day. Steamed bread in the morning, noodles at noon and fried cakes at night. When I first started school, I really wanted to eat glistening rice. The food in the canteen is very poor, and almost all the cooked food is gray, so I dare not eat it.
What a big difference between north and south! But I think that after experiencing these different people, their lives will be richer and even their stomachs will be more tolerant!
I haven't been back to the north for a long time. Living in the south for too long, the whole person is tender, but in my memory, it always snows heavily in winter in the north, flying like feathers. Pedestrians are happy and hard. Open your mouth and exhale thick white fog. The child is very happy. This is a toy given by God and the biggest playground. Couples in the street hug each other tightly and breathe for warmth. The man holds his companion's hand and smiles like the wind. Women are ambiguous as snow, and a large snowflake falls on the scarf, drifting away.
There is always a man with an ambiguous smile in the corner of the cafe. He is m, a childhood playmate. I watched him grow into a handsome, thin man with an unbearable past and an extremely dark heart. But that was only once, and now the shop is his.
At midnight, the streets here are extremely empty, and the noise of nightclubs is low, which can't tear open the dignified air. All the people sleeping under the overpass are artists and beggars. The night is thick, the cold is biting, and it is very quiet.
I think I have to go back.
Memories are full of good times and things. Countless familiar smiles come from the heart. Bright and clear eyes and friendly provocation.
North, this is such a beautiful direction.
Have the honor to answer
This problem involves the cultural differences between the north and the south, and briefly summarizes the following differences between the north and the south:
Bathing problem: In the north, bathing in winter is under the bathhouse. Being naked is like having sex, without a single room; Southerners all bathe alone, and some places still bathe in underwear.
Diet: south rice north, south sweet and north salty.
Shopping: northerners buy vegetables by the catty, or by the price, for example, give me 100 yuan of eggs and buy vegetables for several days at a time; Southerners buy vegetables in turn, one meal at a time, and then the next.
Bug: The bug in the north is very small, and the cockroach in the south is said to be bigger than the fucking slippers!
Weather: winter in the north is dry and cold, very cold; Winter in the south is wet and cold, but it is that kind of cold.
There are also great differences between north and south languages, so I won't go into details. It's really hard to understand.
Look at the picture.
The difference between North and South is more reflected in the cultural differences caused by regions, such as environment, climate, history, humanities and many other factors. Specific to life, there are many unexpected phenomena.
For example, when I was in college, several students from Sichuan were more frost-resistant than many students from Northeast China. Compared with the northeast students wearing big stupid bears, Sichuan students are just a thin winter coat.
In fact, this seemingly abnormal phenomenon is not difficult to understand. Because it is colder in winter in the north, stoves, kang and heating have been used since ancient times. It's freezing outside, and the interior is warm as spring. In winter, people seldom go out and mostly stay at home, so most people have no ability to keep out the cold. On the contrary, although the outdoor temperature is not low in the south, the humidity is very high, and there are not many heating and drying equipment in the south. When the humidity is high, the quilt is covered as if it had just been washed and not dried.
In fact, the differences between the north and the south are reflected in all aspects, and only through personal experience can we have a more intuitive and transparent understanding. This is just an example, so I won't go into details about the rest.
I am a native northerner, so I want to introduce my hometown. Maybe you don't know this place. (Huining County)
Huining County, which belongs to Baiyin City, Gansu Province, is located in the middle of Gansu Province and at the southern end of Baiyin City. It is adjacent to Jingning County, Xiji County and Haiyuan County of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in the east, Tongwei County in the south, anding district and Yuzhong County in the west, Jingyuan County and Pingchuan District in the north, with a total area of 6,439 square kilometers. The terrain is inclined from southeast to northwest, with undulating ridges and criss-crossing gullies, and it belongs to the semi-arid climate in the middle temperate zone.
Huining County is known as the "Qin Long Lock Key". As early as the Neolithic Age more than 5,000 years ago, human beings lived and multiplied in China. Zuli County was established in Ding Yuan, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for three years (1 14), with a history of more than 2 100 years. In the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936), in June of 5438+00, the three main forces of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants joined forces in Huining, which was a turning point in the victory of the China Revolution.
In addition to a long history and glorious revolutionary tradition, Huining County has also developed a unique green industry. The local average elevation is 2025 meters, and the annual average temperature is 7.9℃, with abundant sunshine and beautiful ecology. It has cultivated and formed a variety of characteristic industries such as potatoes, grass and livestock, miscellaneous grains, seed melons and apricots. It was identified by the Ministry of Agriculture as one of the 50 "Demonstration Counties for Green Development of Animal Husbandry" in China, and was named as "Hometown of Coarse Grains in China", "Hometown of Flaxseed in China" and "Hometown of Meat in China" by China Specialty Committee.
Look at the differences between the north and the south in trivial matters: right and wrong are a joy!
Buy food:
Southerners: Good at buying fresh food every morning, just enough for one day;
Northerners: Generally, it takes a week to buy, and the refrigerator is always full: often the food is broken before it is finished;
Order:
Southerners: Enough is enough. If you want more, he will advise you to stop, if not enough, add more. It seems a little stingy, but it's all for you, really in my heart.
Northerners: You can go to a restaurant for dinner at will and never obstruct it. I can't wait to eat you to death. On the surface, you are generous, but in fact, you are thinking about this foodie, and your kindness is superficial.
Eat noodles:
Southerners: No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, noodles are always hot, such as noodles in southern Fujian, a big bowl of hot noodles. The essence of noodles is all kinds of ingredients, and people by the sea are very tasty. A bowl of noodles contains clams, fresh shrimps, oysters, mushrooms, pork belly, eggs, a few vegetables at an angle, and a spoonful of peanut butter, which adds flavor. According to the local people, this bowl of noodles is good.
Northerners: In summer, I like drinking water. Soak the cooked noodles in cold water, and add colorful marinades, such as tomato and egg marinades or eggplant diced marinades, Beijing fried sauce, garlic and prickly cucumbers. This side is cool from the outside to the inside, which is called coolness.
Drinking tea:
Southerners: chaozhou people, Guangdong, pays special attention to drinking kungfu tea. No matter how many people come at home, they always entertain guests with three small cups. The busiest is the host of the family, who washes the tea first and then throws the cup. Fill the tea bowl with water again, and pour the rich tea soup into three small cups to respect the elders among the elderly and guests first. Drink the tea while it's hot. After the first round of tea, wash the cup, and then pour the second cup of tea to honor the guests, from young to old, from male to female. After that, people of the same age will share. After drinking seven or eight courses of tea, pour it out and replace it with new tea bubbles. While drinking tea, we reminisced about the past, washed and poured tea, and the host was very busy. In the process of drinking tea, we talked about the past and discussed the present, which perfectly explained China's traditional hierarchical clan thought and the hospitality of a ceremonial country.
Northerners: Drinking tea is as generous as the vast northern regions. Drinking tea is mainly to quench thirst. Put a pinch of tea in a big cup. Tea likes jasmine tea with strong fragrance, and then it takes 65,438+00 minutes to pour boiling water. When the tea cools down, drink it in a big gulp. When there is a quarter left, drink with boiled water. It's easy for northerners to drink tea. Generally, a large cup of tea a day, only storing water without changing tea, is a good time to drink.
