Kang, at first it didn't mean bed. The kang in the northeast refers to heating the kang with fire. On the kang, children can do their homework, and adults can pack jiaozi, cut vegetables and eat. Because the winter in the northeast is very cold, and there is almost no heating in the countryside, people can only rely on the fire under the kang to keep warm. People can gather around the kang to keep warm, so many daily activities are concentrated on the kang.
Kang is in the northeast.
Kang is generally covered with a layer of floor leather, which can prevent water from soaking the kang and is not afraid of fire. Many northeast men will smoke and drink on the kang, and the ash will fall off, and there will only be small black spots on the floor leather. Moreover, when eating, food accidentally falls on the kang, and you can get rid of the food with a rag, so even if you wrap jiaozi on the kang and the flour falls on the kang, you don't have to worry about cleaning it up.

In addition, houses in rural areas in Northeast China are generally relatively small, and kang accounts for nearly half. People move on the kang, and the rest of the room is used to put other furniture, so there is no way to set the table. Therefore, people changed the dining table into a low table and put it on the kang. Everyone can sit cross-legged on the kang and eat vegetables, saving a lot of space. There is no need to move the chair, the kang is still very warm.
Kang is in the northeast.
Another advantage of kang is that it can cook all kinds of food. Corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes are collected at home, and these miscellaneous grains are thrown into the pit under the kang. After a while, you can smell the delicious aroma and pull out the baked ingredients, which is the best food in childhood. So the kang is not only a place to eat and sleep, but also a simple kitchen, which is very convenient.

For the northeast people, getting on the kang is the best way to entertain guests. Kang can be used not only for sleeping, but also for cooking and eating. It doesn't matter if you have friends who don't like to take off their shoes. You can eat on the edge of the kang without taking off your shoes. Therefore, the custom of northeast people eating on the kang has been preserved and has become a unique culture.
