Why is it said in ancient times that going to the toilet is called unraveling?

When the ancients went to the toilet, they often said "out of the court", "go to the toilet", etc., and later "untie your hands" also became the meaning of going to the toilet. The word "untie" originally referred to the "hand in hand" when friends meet happily, which is equivalent to the modern handshake. When parting, it is called "unties".

Qin Guan of the Song Dynasty wrote in "The Second Rhyme by the Title Douye Pavilion": "It is unbearable to relieve the spring, and it is even more guest-stopped." This means that when friends meet in the spring, they are so happy that they can't bear to leave, and in the end they stop the boat for the sake of their friends and never return.

to the Ming Dynasty,The word "untie" is mainly expressed as untying the rope to defecate"Untie your hands" has really evolved into the meaning of going to the toilet.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains region was sparsely populated and the land was barren due to war, and the ruler ordered forced immigration in order to balance the regions and stabilize the ruling order, but at that time, people were reluctant to leave home and immigrate, so many people sneaked away on the way to immigration and returned to their hometowns. In order to prevent the continuation of this situation, the immigrants formed a fixed number of immigrants and tied their hands with ropes to ensure the number of immigrants. Those immigrants often have one arm tied to each person, dozens of people are connected together, and if one person wants to move, it will inevitably affect the whole body, and the others will feel it, and no one can escape.

So in the process of hurrying,If someone wants to go to the toilet, they will say to those ** people: "Please untie my hands, I want to poop (pee)." ”Later, there was a lot of talk, and people just said "untie it" for the sake of simplicity.

As long as someone shouts "untie your hands", it means that he is going to defecate. It's like this all the way, every day, every month, (the immigration journey is far), everyone says that they are used to it, and it becomes a convention, and it gradually spreads.

In ancient times, when escorting prisoners to the toilet on the way, they needed to untie the prisoner's hands to go to the toilet, and then it developed into unraveling hands.

Because many criminals often use ropes to tie their hands behind their backs during the escort process, when they want to go to the toilet, they need to untie their hands first, so it has such a name.

It is the action of going to the toilet and then evolving, so it makes people feel more suitable, and slowly changes it, and the pronunciation is relatively similar.

Why did the ancients call going to the toilet a relief? Why? I heard that the word "untie" is related to the theme activity of immigrant investment in Hongdong County, Shanxi, and in ancient times, everyone also called the toilet "untie the hand".

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, because of the serious flood disasters and the high incidence of wars, many people died in Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other regions. Sparsely populated and uncultivated farmland, the DPRK remembered how to invest in the past from Hongdong County, Shanxi Province, to replenish the local labor force. However, what the ancients valued most was their own authentic region and their own roots, so how could they be willing to respond to the appeal of the DPRK and China to go to a completely unfamiliar place?

The masses were reluctant to go, and the DPRK and China had to apply for compulsory enforcement, because they were afraid that some people along the line would escape, so they tied the hands of all the immigrants with ropes and went forward. The distance is far away, there is always a rest along the road, not to mention that people also have three urgency, if anyone wants to go to the toilet, tell the messenger, so that he will help you to go to the toilet, in the long run, this release has become our name for urine, and even after that, spread throughout the country, from then on, "untie" is the meaning of going to the bathroom.

However, some people feel that "untie your hands" because you have to untie your trouser belt when you go to the bathroom. When you go to the bathroom, you must untie the trouser belt and take off the pants, and in ancient times, everyone had to tie a belt, also known as "trouser hands", and when you go to the bathroom to untie your trouser hands, it is equivalent to the meaning of untying your hands.

And there are many interesting words widely circulated in historical time, there are some periods when going to the bathroom is called unraveling, and some are called Gong, until now everyone calls it going to the bathroom, which shows that the history of the evolution of Chinese characters in China is so interesting. Naturally, this kind of view is only widely circulated according to historical time, and it doesn't matter if everyone disagrees, after all, history is in the past tense, it is all open, and the imagination space it gives them is far beyond reality, and we can never have only one standard answer in pursuit of the truth and validity of perfect history

It is said that it was a large ** in ancient Guanzhong, and the population became too small. The imperial court moved people from other places, and of course everyone was reluctant to leave their homes. Then, like a prisoner, a long string of people were tied to their hands with ropes. On the way, someone wanted to go to the toilet, so he said to the officers and soldiers, "Relieve yourself."

It's because they need to take off their pants when they go to the toilet, and they need to use their hands to untie the strap, which is the time to untie them.

In ancient times, going to the toilet was called "untie your hands", originally because when escorting prisoners, they used ropes to tie up their hands and walk together, and when prisoners needed to urinate and urinate, they would ask to untie their hands first, and then be supervised by the escort personnel, and later "untie their hands" was the meaning of going to the toilet;

In addition, in the past, the toilet was avoided and felt unclean, and a small house was built with thatch at a distance from the place of residence, so it was also called "thatched house";

Others such as: out of the Ming Dynasty student supervision rules, each class and "out of the respect" card side, in order to prevent students from leaving the class without permission. This card is also set up in the venue during the examination. If a scholar wants to leave the table and go to the toilet, he needs to get this card to do it, which is a thing that should be done respectfully).
