When did the toilet appear?

The toilet of the scientific toilet was originally named nothing in ancient times; In the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Ma Zi (probably because it was used to ride horses, and the people in Hong Kong called it Ma Zi. Is this the reason? ), it was not until modern times that it was renamed toilet.

First of all, don't think that the word "toilet" is imported, but it is actually a native name of China. From the year when mosquitoes were killed, the convenient place for our ancestors was the flat ground, which later turned into a pit and then the toilet appeared. Mosquitoes followed humans that year. When people show their sweet buttocks, mosquitoes begin to eat dinner.

To talk about the history of toilets, we have to start from the Han Dynasty. According to Xijing Miscellanies, the court of the Han Dynasty was made of jade and was held by the emperor's attendants for the convenience of the emperor at any time. This kind of "tiger" is a special appliance called toilet and urinal by later generations, and it is also the predecessor of toilet. According to this, it is said that this kind of "nothingness" was also invented by high-impedance Liu Bang with the crown of Confucian scholars as a drowning device. There is another saying about the invention of "nothing", which is also said to be related to the emperor. According to legend, in the Western Han Dynasty, Li Guang, a flying general, shot and killed a crouching tiger, making people cast a copper drowning device in the shape of a tiger and put it in urine to show their contempt for the tiger. This is the origin of the name "tiger". However, when the emperors of the Tang Dynasty sat in Long Ting, because one of their ancestors was called Li Hu, their disrespectful address was changed to "beast" or "girl", and later they were commonly called "toilet" and "urinal". There is also a joke. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin pacified Sichuan and transported all the objects in Houshu Palace back to Bianjing. He found that there was a basin inlaid with agate and jade, and he was so happy that he could almost hold wine. Later, Mrs. Hua, the favorite princess Chang, was called dedicating herself. Mrs. Hua Rui saw that this thing was presented by the Emperor of Song Dynasty several times, and quickly said that it was my husband's urinal! Surprised, Zhao Kuangyin made a strange call: "How can there be a reason not to die with this urinal?" Smash this baby right now.

The earliest written record of the toilet was the wooden horse in Return to the Field II by Ouyang Xiu in the Northern Song Dynasty, which was interpreted as a wooden toilet in Ci Yuan. The toilet used by the ancient people in China was a round wooden barrel with a lid, which was coated with tung oil or fine waterproof vermicelli.
