Southern people bathe every day without rubbing mud. Northerners take a bath once every few days, but "rubbing mud". Which one do you think is better?

As a southerner, I have always believed that bathing every day is normal and necessary. Southerners will feel uncomfortable if they go to bed without bathing at night. This is related to the living environment.

I didn’t know until I was in college that I didn’t have to take a shower every day. I suddenly felt incredible. A girl in the same dormitory, from Shenyang in Northeast China, took a shower once a week at first, but every time she took a shower, at least We kept scrubbing in the bathroom for half an hour to an hour. We were always wondering, how could it take so long?

We often joke: Did you peel off the skin and remove the bones and wash them? Later, she said: She used a bath towel to rub her body bit by bit, and it took a long time to rub every part carefully. Sometimes, she also needed someone else to help rub the mud on her back. Unlike us southerners, who usually only take ten minutes to rub her body. I took a shower in half an hour.

Later, after living in Hainan for a long time, she gradually got used to taking a bath here every day, because the temperature in Hainan is basically above 30℃ in summer, and it is uncomfortable to sweat when walking around, so she must take a bath before going. Flavor and cooling.

The natural conditions in the north are not suitable for bathing every day. It is not that hot in the north. In many places, there are only 150 frost-free days a year. The air is dry and people don’t like to sweat. The skin is always very dry. Just wash it once. It's very clean, so you don't need to shower every day. There is also a bathing culture in the north. Rinse, soak in the bath, steam room, scrub, apply milk and salt all over the body, steam again, rinse thoroughly, steam, rest and communicate in the lobby, cupping, massage and pedicure, ear picking. The above process is a good way to relax, clear the meridians and dispel dissipation fatigue.

Due to the hot and muggy weather, people in the South often sweat. They will inevitably sweat when studying, working, or playing outside during the day. At night, their bodies will become sticky and smelly. Therefore, To take a bath to remove odor or cool down the body, southerners gradually became accustomed to taking a bath every day, even if they didn't have time, they would rinse their bodies with water.

Southerners still have a relatively private behavior when it comes to bathing. They usually have to take a bath in a separate bathroom and take care of themselves. If they are shy, they will not let others help rub the mud. If it is summer in Hainan, some People who can't stand the sweating and hot body need to take a shower three times a day. If they work hard in the morning, noon and evening, it is no exaggeration to feel like they spend the whole summer in the shower every day. In fact, in Hainan, in addition to greeting someone, the first sentence is often: Have you eaten? Also: have you taken a shower?

In short, the bathing habits of southerners and northerners are all determined by the living environment, and the most important thing is the weather. You cannot judge a person's hygiene level based on the number of baths, as long as the body is clean and tidy. .
