Stovepipe code
(Dr. Chen Yi Kui)
The various aspects of civilization, often showing a different point of interest, there are many things we usually seem bland, They were hidden with avery interesting code. Like the cap on the main road, mostly round, but no one thought about why they are made into a circle? In fact, there is a very interesting scientific password hidden behind this incident.
It turned out that the sewer cover will be made into a circle, because the sewer hole is circular, then why the hole to be made round? That is because if made into a circle, the sewer lid will not fall into the hole, because the special shape of the circular, regardless of the gutter turn any angle, will not fall into the hole, if made into a square, rectangular or any shape, there is danger of falling into the hole, only the circle without this concern.
In the traditional wisdom of Chinese culture, also seen everywhere with this fun.
If one often looks at the traditional drama in Taiwan, one can find that in ancient times women were the weaker ethnic group, especially in the big family, where the daughter-in-law was the most commonly bullied ethnic group. From a modern point of view, the enormous pressure from in-laws, aunts and husbands is a high risk group for depression.
But in fact, in the traditional old-fashioned life, these bully-minded daughter-in-law have a low rate of depression and some of them are still living well ... What exactly is this cleverness?
Master Chen Yi-kui pointed out that the most important key point is in the "stovepipe", which is what we now call the kitchen.
Architects of ancient times, is a legendary occupation, the legendary, some architects even have the magic, the ability to control the spirits. In general, in ancient times to design a mansion, the most important place is the kitchen. Imagine, three meals a day, and some big mansions were even frequently cook dozens of meals, so the kitchen fumes made every day, the amount of ash was great. In ancient times, as we know, of course, there were no range hood, so the mansion kitchen fumes and exhaust gas, it was up to the architects superb design, air convection way to heat, oil, smoke, ash from the chimney goes out. It turns out that the "stovepipe" designed by clever architects did have a powerful air convection function.
Therefore, every day for a big family to eat and drink, the busy young daughter-in-law who, while staying in the kitchen and fumes every day, because of the air is the best for the entire mansion, in a good living Oxygen environment, so many years down, got the best breathing environment.
Small daughter-in-law who has happy life, built on the magic code of stovepipe, but also a very interesting part of the culture.
