1, Northeast Dakang is not only used for sleeping, but also for heating. In winter, there are few things on the kang surface, so bedding and other things should be rolled up and put in the kang cabinet, so that the kang can dissipate heat and the heat dissipation effect is good, and the house can be warmer.
In the past, Northeasters used to eat three meals a day on the kang. When eating, there is a kang table on the kang, and people with status and status sit cross-legged at home. Generally, men sit inside, and women sit on the edge of the kang, responsible for adding food and handing things to everyone, waiting for dinner. After school, the children also do their homework or play on the kang. People come and sit on the kang. Usually, every family has a cigarette basket, which contains tobacco leaves, cigarette paper and matches. When people come, they will push the cigarette basket in front of the guests sitting on the kang and say that they want to roll a cigarette, so everyone will smoke a cigarette. Dakang in Northeast China is an important stage of people's life in Northeast China before 1980s.
