In fact, as an authentic Chinese, hot water is often seen in our life. For example, the elders always remind us to drink some hot water the first thing we get up every day. Occasionally when the weather is cold, there will always be more hot water to drink. When I come back at night, I always have a sense that I must boil the water, not drink it cold, but drink some hot water.
Or if there is occasional cold water, you can drink it only after mixing it. When you are sick, no matter serious or minor illness, someone will always remind you to drink more hot water. It seems that hot water can cure all diseases. That's why many boys always let their girlfriend drink hot water when they are in love. Of course, many girls hate this sentence. I think the boy is too boring. He will only let her drink hot water instead of taking action to care about her. But it's also like this. Small things in ordinary life can also feel how enthusiastic Chinese people are about hot water.
But unlike China, foreigners don't drink much hot water. So if you go to a foreigner or a foreigner comes to a Chinese family and you add a cup of hot water, I believe that foreigner will be very surprised and think why you should heat the water and give it to him. Because in the hearts of foreigners, it is normal to drink water and ice. In this way, the cultural differences between China and our country eat with chopsticks, while they use knives and forks. Both sides do not understand each other. Chinese people think that foreign countries do harm to their health, while foreigners think it's really strange. Where does this difference come from.
Foreigners think it's unhealthy. After all, hot water is called to cure many diseases in China. Foreigners only heat things that need hot water, otherwise they also drink cold water directly. But all the differences actually have to talk about the past history to have such a habit. We should all know that we also have the habit of making tea. The history of tea ceremony has been spread in China for many years, and another key point of brewing tea is that the water should be hot enough. Therefore, Chinese people who love tea taste naturally retain the habit of drinking hot water with the legacy of history. Foreigners eat meat and a series of noble and luxurious Western food types. In fact, ice water is more suitable in front of these foods. Therefore, different eating styles also create different drinking habits.
Another reason is that in our country, there are slogans that often advocate that we must drink more hot water. The reason is also because we all know that the water quality in China is not very good, so if the water does not kill some bacteria at high temperature, drinking it directly will always cause stomach discomfort. Therefore, the state will always tell you to boil water. Foreigners are different. Most countries have qualified water quality, and their technology is advanced in all aspects. This advanced technology has created the later equipment renewal and filtration. Therefore, the water foreigners drink is ice water that can be drunk directly, and it is very clean. So in their eyes, they think that the heating of Chinese hot water will make the original water lose nutrients.
But whether it is hot water or cold water, it is necessary all over the world, because drinking more water can indeed supplement some energy lost by the human body, and it is much healthier than carbonated drinks or other drinks outside. In fact, the hot water that Chinese people are keen on can really relieve each other when people are uncomfortable. For example, girls' physiological period will be more painful if they are not allowed to drink ice water like foreigners.
Of course, it is understandable that foreigners' habits are different from those in China. In addition, each person's living environment is different, which will certainly lead to different habits. But no matter how you drink hot water, you should pay attention not to think that the hottest is good. Too hot will hurt your throat. If you are used to drinking ice water, you should not drink it on an empty stomach, which will also damage people's body. Otherwise, the best auxiliary products will be harmful.
