China's four major stove cities.
Which cities do the four stoves refer to?
The term "Four Fireplaces" originated in the Republic of China and is another name for the four hottest cities in China. The traditional "four stoves" refer to Chongqing, Wuhan, Nanchang and Changsha, because their weather is very hot and unbearable every summer.
However, with the change of climate and the migration of weather stations, the list of the hottest cities changes every year. According to the updated list of 20 17, the new "four furnaces" were identified as Chongqing, Fuzhou, Hangzhou and Nanchang. Changsha and Wuhan, which lost the election, ranked fifth and sixth respectively.
However, there are many controversies about the ranking of the traditional "four stoves". Among them, Wuhan, Nanjing, Chongqing and Nanchang are recognized by many people, and they are also recognized by the textbooks of People's Education Edition.
