It was too hard for the ancients to go to the toilet. Modern people are embarrassed to see these tools.

With the popularity of travel dramas in recent years, more and more modern people envy the life of the ancients and want to travel to ancient times to enjoy a slow-paced life. So, in fact, is the life of ancient people really that good? Today, let's talk about the daily life of ancient people. After knowing their real situation, let's see if you want to travel back to ancient times.

The living standard of ancient people is certainly far less than that of modern people. For example, lighting is not only the office of the ancient king at night, but also not as bright as the modern 15 degree light bulb. Moreover, in ancient times, people basically had no entertainment activities at night, so they could only lie in bed and wait for dawn. And for ancient life, many people are interested in going to the toilets of the ancients. Let's talk about how the ancients went to the toilet first.

In ancient times, it was far less convenient to go to the toilet than in modern times, and the toilet was invented only in modern times, so even the ancient king was less convenient to go to the toilet than the modern people. In ancient times, it was basically a dry toilet, even for royalty. In ancient times, dry toilets were relatively large, so it was risky to go to the toilet in ancient times. If you are not careful, you may die. Today, we tell an embarrassing story about an ancient king who went to the toilet.

According to historical records, Jin once went to the toilet alone. Ministers waited for a long time but didn't see him come back, so they went to the toilet to see what was going on. I don't know when Jinuoa fell into the toilet and drowned. Think about the terrible scene in ancient times, and you will know something about the ancient dry toilets. After talking about the toilet, let's talk about how the ancients wiped their bottoms after going to the toilet.

Before Cai Lun invented paper in Han Dynasty, ancient princes and nobles basically wiped their bottoms with silk, which made modern people feel a little extravagant. Ordinary people can only wipe their bottoms with leaves, stones and even clods. So what do these people who are neither men nor princes use to wipe their bottoms? They used toilets that were very popular at that time.

The toilet is a piece of bamboo cut from bamboo by ancient people. In ancient times, it was also called toilet slide and dung stirring stick. People usually use it to wipe their bottoms after defecation. At the end of last century, this kind of toilet was used in parts of China and Japan. Because ancient toilets are very similar to bamboo slips, modern people in unknown so will collect the toilets used by the ancients as antiques.

Because paper was expensive before modern times, the ancients used toilets for thousands of years. It was not until the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties that some rough paper was used to make toilet paper. According to records, in Daming Palace, there is also a logistics organization "SiSi", which is responsible for managing the toilet paper in the harem. In ancient times, toilet paper was even used to set up special institutions, which shows that toilet paper was a very extravagant thing at that time.

After talking about the tools used by the ancient people in China to wipe their bottoms, let's talk about how the ancient people in foreign countries wiped their bottoms. In Europe, most people use hemp rope to wipe directly, and hemp rope is not disposable and will be used many times. I believe that the scene of He Junda in Guangzhou is unacceptable. Ancient Rome was not backward either. It is more humane for them to wipe with a stick wrapped in cotton cloth at one end. Indians may be more advanced than Europe. They don't use hemp ropes or sticks, they just wash them with water. There is a basin of water next to the urinal in India, and it tastes absolutely disgusting now. After watching the life and toilet ways of the ancients, do you still want to go back to ancient times and enjoy a slow-paced life?
