Why don't southerners take a bath?

This can't be so absolute. Southerners still bathe, but some habits of bathing are different from those in the north.

In Camel Xiangzi, there is a kind of "water culture" that can better represent the north, that is, water wrapped and leather bag water. The former represents the bath in the north, and the latter represents the big bowl of tea in the north.

Although Lao She is a northerner, the source of wrapping water comes from Yangzhou. Wang Zengqi's "The Past and Miscellaneous Stories of an Old Friend" mentioned that Yangzhou people wrapped several bags of water in the morning (going to the teahouse) and wrapped the water foreskin at night (going to the bathhouse), and Yang Ba was just like that. There is a distinction between north and south here. Bathing in the north refers to bathing. Bathing in the south is called bathing in Jiangnan District. One is soaking in the big pool, and the other is standing in the shower.

I go to school in the middle of south latitude and north latitude in China. The school is characterized by the coexistence of independent small bathrooms and large bathhouses. Because I am in the middle, students from the north and the south will also have it. I have experienced both at the same time.

Students in the south of the dormitory like to wash in the dormitory. Although the small independent bathroom is small, there are still two unkempt faces. Occasionally, I wash with him. At first, he really didn't take a shower. From small to large, the bath towel used on him can make him grin with pain, and he washes quickly and frequently. Basically, it is washed several times, and the whole process takes several minutes to ten minutes.

In addition, I also took a bath with my classmates in the north. They are more used to going to public toilets and rubbing against each other. I can't stand going with them a few times. It takes them more than half an hour to take a bath normally, an extra hour, and most of the time is spent rubbing against each other. Besides taking a bath every four or five days, it is normal to take a bath every two days.

The weather in the south is sultry and sweaty, and bathing is more frequent. Some students in Guangdong still can't change this habit. Sometimes taking a bath is said to be cleaning the body, but more for them, it is to enjoy the refreshing feeling of being washed by clean water.

In the north, water was not very convenient before, so the frequency of bathing was relatively low. Every time I take a shower, I feel much more relaxed.

It used to be a problem of water source and climate, but now it has completely become a habit problem.
