Why do Japanese girls go bare-legged in winter? Japanese bare-legged culture

I believe many of you will have noticed that Japanese girls like to go bare-legged all year round. In the cold winter, even if their legs are frozen red, they don't care at all. Why is this? Are Japanese girls not afraid of the cold when they go bare-legged in winter?

First, clothing tradition

Japanese girls have rarely worn pants since ancient times. Japanese pants are called hakama. In ancient Japan, only male nobles and samurai could wear such pants. I wore hakama when I practiced archery before. Ordinary Japanese women can only wear a kind of clothes similar to kimono but with smaller sleeves for easy movement. Generally speaking, they don't wear pants even in winter. They don't even wear panties. On the one hand, this is to make it easier to work. On the other hand, it is because pants are too expensive.

Second, cold-resistant education

In fact, Japanese people have been very active since childhood. Cold resistance is not only an education, but also a kind of practice for them. In winter, you can see all kinds of children wearing shorts everywhere in Japan. Running around, their knees are frozen red. Japanese society generally believes that children should wear less in winter. It can improve their ability to resist the cold, exercise their will, improve metabolism, and prevent cardiovascular diseases. Anyway, in the mouths of some people, this thing is like mung beans, which can cure all diseases. Therefore, many Japanese elementary schools require children to wear single clothes, shorts, and girls to wear short skirts in winter. However, there are also some voices of opposition. For example, some children are really afraid of the cold, and some even get pneumonia directly because of the cold. The ability to resist the cold is different for everyone.

Third, public pressure

Do you know how lonely it is to wear stockings in Japan? According to my years of investigation, Japanese women in their teens and twenties either wear skirts without stockings, or wear pants without stockings, or wear leggings without stockings. In short, they don't wear stockings. Especially the kind of black stockings that don't see through the flesh. It's not that I don't understand what's wrong with black stockings. But Japanese girls think it will be very rustic to wear them. I was also shocked when I knew this. I have never thought about this issue for more than ten years. Do you think stockings are very rustic? The bare-legged girls in Japan are mainly concentrated in JC and JK. That is, Japanese junior and high school girls. If they are different from others, they will feel very uneasy. This is especially obvious in school, if the classmates around them think that wearing stockings is very rustic. If you don't wear bare legs, you will look out of place. In order to pursue fashion, many Japanese girls will choose to go bare-legged, so what's the cold!

Fourth, bare legs are cute

A few days ago, I actually asked a Japanese friend, why do you want to bare your legs, aren't you cold? Her answer is very representative, "Kawaii!" The key is that her skirt that day was directly down to her ankles. Who would lift up your skirt to see if it's kawaii? Now I begin to suspect that they bare their legs just because they are too lazy to wear it. And Japanese girls do it to attract the attention of males. In the past, Ishihara Satomi taught the skills of seducing men in the Chocolate Craftsman. That is, when you go on a date with a boy, you must wear less, so that the boy will feel sorry for you, and then take off his coat and put it on you. It feels like the boy is also a human being, won't he feel cold if he gives you the coat? If you think the same as I do, this may be the reason why you are single.

If you go to Japan and ask a girl why she wears short skirts in winter, aren't you cold? She will definitely answer you, yes, but the school uniform only has skirts. Yes, Japanese girls wear school uniforms from elementary school to high school graduation, but their uniforms have no pants, only skirts. Of course, there are also many girls who wear short skirts in winter just for beauty.

In fact, Japan is surrounded by the sea on both sides, so Japan is more inclined to a marine climate. The average temperature in Japan in winter is not too low (5℃ to 12℃), and it is bearable even if it gets cold. Moreover, as a developed country, Japan has very good heating facilities, and there are heaters in the house and in the train. If Japanese girls really can't stand the cold, they can always go to a place with heating facilities to keep warm.

In addition, Japanese people have been doing cold resistance training since childhood, and even hold traditional cold resistance ceremonies. In Japan, parents never let their children wear more clothes, in order to train their strong physique and tenacious will. I wonder if you still remember the Japanese cartoon "Clever Ikkiu" that you watched when you were a child? Ikkiu is a typical Japanese child. Even in winter, Ikkiu only wears thin clothes and straw sandals to walk in the snow. It can be seen that Japanese people's cold resistance is developed from childhood.

Moreover, Japan is a country that attaches great importance to the differences between men and women. Japanese people believe that boys should look like boys and girls should look like girls. Therefore, short skirts have become the standard for girls. Many Japanese women have also devoted their lives to skirts. They believe that short skirts can increase their charm and make them more beautiful in the eyes of men.

Even though Japanese girls insist on wearing skirts in winter, they have a strong sense of keeping warm. Don't forget which country invented the series of warming artifacts such as the Warm Baby and the Fats? Yes, it was invented by Japan. In order to not feel so cold when wearing short skirts in winter, Japanese girls usually wear thick short leggings under their short skirts. The shorts are used to protect the belly and thighs. Some Japanese girls who are afraid of cold will wear stockings in winter. Although the stockings are thin, they are still good at keeping warm.

In fact, the cause of rheumatoid arthritis has not yet been determined, but it is basically related to genetics, environment, immune system disorders, etc. It is worth noting that cold is not included in the causes of the disease. Although cold does not cause arthritis, if you have arthritis, cold will aggravate your condition. It seems that whether you get arthritis or not has nothing to do with whether you wear short skirts in winter. This really subverts my three views.

As for us, when the temperature drops, we should listen to our mothers and wear long johns. After all, even if you don't have cold legs, you don't want your thighs to be frozen and numb in winter.

1. Going bare-legged in winter will make your joints cold, making you more susceptible to rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis. When you are older, your bones may hurt so much that you doubt your life.

2. When the lower limbs are exposed to cold, the blood vessels will contract excessively, making it easy to get vascular diseases;

3. Keeping the lower limbs in a cold state will reduce the body's immunity, making it particularly easy to catch a cold and cause various diseases.
