“Put on your winter coat! You’ll catch a cold!” I don’t know how many times my mom said this to me when I was a kid. I often went outside, even during cold winter months, wearing just a light jacket.
Of course, the idea that cold weather can make you sick is only partly true. After all, ★. But I have noticed that in China, people always make sure to wear lots of clothes when it’s cold outside. In the time that I’ve been here, I’ve been asked by strangers, especially elderly people, about why I’m not wearing more clothing. They think I’m wearing too little during the winter.
I guess this might have something to do with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) belief. There is a TCM term called yuanqi(元气), which refers to the basic energy that helps one’s body work and stay healthy. Anything that unnecessarily consumes(消耗) this energy is unsuitable. If you don’t wear enough clothing when it’s cold outside, your body will have to spend extra energy to keep you warm. Chinese people wear lots of clothing to stay warm and save energy.
But I still don’t like to wear too much clothing, even when it’s cold. I haven’t gotten sick because of this yet. I get hot very easily—I even sweat during winter months if my coat is too warm.
