During the Tang Dynasty (618 – 906 CE), the Tang-Yulin was invented. The
Tang-Yulin was an object placed on the floor, it had a water powered fan and two
rising jet streams of mountain water. The fan blew out towards the rising streams
creating a mist of cold mountain air. The Tang-Yulin became the world’s first air
conditioner. Rich families and the imperial family used the Tang-Yulin. This was
an important invention to the Tang Dynasty because during hot summer days the
people were and getting heat stroke. The people of the Tang did not have swimming
pools to cool off in. The Tang did never thought to pour water on their heads or
necks because they thought it was immature and a waste of water. The Tang did not
have the things we have now to cool off in the summer and that is why the Tang-
Yulin was important.
The Tang-Yulin was created during the Tang Dynasty. The Tang-Yulin was
the first air conditioner and was used to cool off the emperor and richer families on
hot days. Exclusively the imperial family and richer families used the Tang-Yulin.
The poor could not afford to make or purchase Tang-Yulins. Before the Tang-Yulin
people used paper fans or their hands to try and cool down. The poor families did
that even after the Tang-Yulin. On hot days the farmers of china would work under
the hot sun and leave the fields to come back to more heat.
The Tang-Yulin has really changed people’s lives in many ways. For example,
emperors could possibly live longer because they would not be at a risk for heat
stroke and also the same for the heirs to the throne. The Tang-Yulin did not change
many peoples lives because it was only an air conditioner, but still it was a great
invention and the idea still lives today.
