Inside the kang is a kang hole, where people smoke, like a hole in a hole. Ordinary fire kang generally has four or five holes, while wrist kang generally has only one hole. Cooking on the stove, firewood burning in the stove chamber, and smoke running in the kang hole. When smoke floats from the chimney into the sky, the kang will gradually heat up. The kang is closest to the stove, so the hottest kang is slightly closer to the chimney, so it is the coldest.

If it is winter or spring and autumn, the northeast people are worried that the kang is not hot enough, and after cooking with fire. The smoke board will be inserted in time, which is the valve of the chimney. After plugging in, a small amount of smoke in the kang hole will not send the chimney out. The hot air in the kang cave will not run out with the smoke, nor will it slip out by itself, because the valve is closed.

Kang is not unique to northeast China. In rural areas in northern China, kang is a very common thing. At the end of one hundred days, Jia Xuan was radiant with medicine, and Hu lifted the taboo in his heart and pulled off his belt. They were as enthusiastic and greedy as they were, until the adobe on the two pages of kang collapsed, and they moved to a nest with a smile.

In the former northeast countryside, kang can be divided into south kang and north kang, that is, one room with two kang, one south and one north, all of which are used to live people. In addition, wrist health is not necessarily used to put cabinets, but may also be used for people. Because of the large population in rural areas in the past, kangs could not be divided into upper and lower bunks like beds, but only into north and south.
