Xinjiang, located in the northwest of China, has a vast territory and is the largest province in China. But for a long time, mainlanders think that everything is fine in Xinjiang, but the schedule of Xinjiang people is amazing.
People in Xinjiang get up at eight in the morning, go to work at ten, and don't sleep at eleven or twelve in the middle of the night. It seems that Xinjiang people especially like staying up late. Some people think that this kind of work and rest time of Xinjiang people is a manifestation of "laziness". In fact, Xinjiang people are very diligent, so what is the reason for this "misunderstanding"?
As we all know, China is a vast country. From the sea in the east to the desert in the west, the distance between east and west is as high as more than 5 thousand kilometers. China's long east-west span, from east to west, has formed five time differences.
After the founding of New China, Beijing time is the standard time in China. There is a time difference of more than two hours between Xinjiang in the west and Beijing in the mainland. Time difference is a natural phenomenon formed by the earth's rotation and revolution around the sun. It is a conclusion drawn by human beings after long-term research and exploration of cosmic science, which cannot be changed by human factors. In the long process of development, human beings have gradually adapted to this time difference.
Especially in modern society, it is not surprising that many people need jet lag after landing by plane for a long time after going abroad or returning home. Because Xinjiang is far away from the mainland, many people will feel uncomfortable temporarily when they enter and leave Xinjiang, which is actually the reason for the time difference.
In the morning, the sun rises in the east, accompanied by the first ray of sunshine. People began a day's life. In summer, many people in mainland China are used to getting up at six o'clock and having breakfast at the beginning. Work starts at eight o'clock.
However, Xinjiang people in the west, at six o'clock in the morning, are in a deep sleep, and the sun shines in Xinjiang at eight o'clock. From 9: 30 to 10: 00, it is time to start work and go to school. When Xinjiang people come to the mainland, they must first adapt to the time difference and the pace of life in the mainland.
Other problems are easy to say, but Xinjiang people say it hurts to eat. They usually have breakfast at nine in the morning, lunch at two in the afternoon and dinner at ten in the evening.
However, during this period, many restaurants in the mainland do not provide delicious meals, especially lunches. At noon, it's time for mainland restaurants to clean up dishes, and the chef has turned off the fire.
When mainlanders go to Xinjiang, they often show extreme discomfort. Many people go to work at 8: 30 and find that there is not even a single person on the streets of Xinjiang. When I arrived at my destination, my door was closed and I looked shocked. Xinjiang people, the normal working hours are from 9: 30 to 10: 00.
In Xinjiang, it is acceptable for others to be affected by jet lag. Only students who take the college entrance examination every year are miserable. According to the college entrance examination regulations, the national examination time is set at 9: 00 a.m. and 2: 00 p.m., which makes the students who are preparing for the exam in Xinjiang suffer a lot.
They often have to get up before dawn and have to answer questions before their drowsiness subsides. It's lunch time at two o'clock in the afternoon, but there is still an exam, which is very uncomfortable.
To this end, in addition to consolidating cultural knowledge, the biggest task for Xinjiang candidates to prepare for the exam every year is to jet lag. Only those students who adjust the time difference can play their true level.
With the development of the times, information communication becomes smoother. Many mainlanders and Xinjiang people know the natural science phenomenon of time difference. With the increase of communication, people who travel to and from Xinjiang gradually adapt to the work and rest time in Xinjiang. No more surprises, no more misunderstandings.
Moreover, many people also deliberately travel to Xinjiang to experience the freshness brought by jet lag. Feel the sunshine at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, which is different from the time difference in the mainland and can better show the exotic beauty of Xinjiang.
