[分享] Kang

[有去无回]

All Fired Up

A semblance of modular furniture possibly reaching back to the Han dynasty, the kang―a masonry platform―served as a seat by day and a warm bed by night. Smoldering coals beneath a brick surface generated heat around the clock.

热炕头可舒服了。

啊，就我命苦，谁叫我跟这个砍完，又跟内个砍，临了，我望KANG上一瞅，哪儿还有我的一条缝儿啊

小风儿叟叟，给我冷的，我出去砍玉米杆，烧KANG

KANG上的人热得一个劲儿的翻来复去

我还是冷的哆嗦，那玉米杆那里禁烧啊

又得出去

命苦

A bed by night, a seat by day, and always a source of warmth, the Kang, a masonry platform--its origins possibly reachigng back to the Han dynasty --was once common in rural north China. Smoldering coals beneath a brick surface generated heat around the clock. Here, Chinese sleep at a country tavern. An adjacent photograph in the June 1927 GEOGRAPHIC showed guests awake on the kang, rice bowls in hand. "At mealtimes small, low tables are placed upon it, and at night numerouse mats convert it into a warm, hard bed," the photo caption wxplained. The pillows, noted the photographer," are filled with millet and are very hard." ----Margaret G. Zackowitz
