The history of the invention of the flush toilet.
According to the report, not long ago, the famous British "Focus" magazine invited 100 of the country's most authoritative experts, scholars and 1,000 readers to evaluate the world's greatest inventions, and the top of the list was actually the flush toilet. After reading this news, the author is quite puzzled: there are countless great inventions in the world, why do the British only advocate the invention of the flush toilet?
After consulting the relevant information, the author seems to have found the answer. It turned out that the flush toilet was first invented by the British.
During the time of Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603), there was a British priest named John Harrington, who was a lover of literature and was sentenced to exile for spreading a so-called immoral story. Between 1584 and 1591, he built a house in Kelston, a penal colony. There, he designed the world's first flush toilet.
The toilet is connected to the cistern and is installed in this house. He was so proud of the invention that he named it after one of Homer's epic heroes, Ajax. Later, Harrington also wrote the book "The Metamorphosis of the Night Pot", which detailed the design of his flush toilet.
However, the British public at the time did not accept the invention and they still liked to use potties.
In 1775, a London watchmaker named Alexander Cummings improved Harrington's design and developed a flush toilet, which was patented for the first time. Since then, flush toilets have become popular. In 1848, the British Parliament passed the Public Health Act, which stated:
All newly built houses and dwellings must have toilets, flush toilets and places to store garbage. This provides the conditions for the development of flush toilet technology.
In 1889, British plumber Bostel invented the flushing toilet. This kind of toilet uses a water storage tank and a float, which is simple in structure and easy to use. Since then, the structural form of the flush toilet has basically been determined.
In today's world, flush toilets have been recognized as the "measure of hygiene". It should be said that the invention of the flush toilet by the British is a great contribution to human society. But to call it the "greatest invention" in the world, or even to be at the top of the list, is obviously "over-awarded". □

English In 1596, the English aristocrat John Harrington invented the first practical toilet – a wooden seat with a cistern and flush valve.
In 1778, the British inventor Joseph Bramley improved the design of the flush toilet, using such a three-ball valve to control the flow of water in the tank, and a U-shaped elbow.
In the 19th century, when the British enacted a law requiring every house to have a proper sewage treatment system, the toilet began to improve significantly.
In 1861, Thomas Kleppa, a British plumber, invented an advanced water-saving flushing system, and waste discharge began to enter the modern period.
In 1885, Thomas Tweifford patented the first all-ceramic toilet in England, and dozens of patents for improvements have been granted each year since.
In Shanghai in the 30s of the 20th century, when the morning light first appeared, many people would rub their sleepy eyes, carry the toilet, and walk out of the house one after another, and then line up in front of a public faucet.
In 1880, Thomas Kraber invented the first flush toilet in modern human history, taking advantage of the good flow, impact and cleaning properties of abundant and cheap water. At the same time of creating a modern flushing civilization and modern urban convenience pipe network management, it has created a ceramic toilet industry that has coexisted with modern cities for more than 120 years. The ceramic toilet industry provides space for the survival and development of about one thousandth of the world's population today.

It's okay for my own home, but in public places, I really can't stand the toilet, I don't dare to sit on it, even if it's a one-time toilet paper on the pad, I don't dare to sit, it's really tangled, anyway, the public area is still squatting, and it seems that foreign countries are sitting on the toilet, I don't know if the hospital is also, anyway, I can't stand it, if it's too depressing because of the infectious disease!

Why? The toilet I have used since I was a child feels very comfortable, but I feel that the squatting style is very uncomfortable, and my feet are numb after a long time, which is not humane at all.

Who invented the flush toilet, even many experts can't tell. One theory is that in 1596, the English aristocrat John Harrington invented the first practical toilet - a wooden seat with a cistern and flush valve - before many people used to go to the nearest big tree and small river to solve it on the spot. Although Harrington invented the toilet, it was not widely used due to the imperfection of the sewage system.
In 1861, Thomas Kleppa, a British plumber, invented an advanced water-saving flushing system, and waste discharge began to enter the modern period.

The toilet, also known as the flush toilet, was first invented by a British priest named John Harrington.
Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each toilet:
Split toilet: high water level, sufficient punch, many styles, **the most popular. The split is generally a flush type launch, and the flushing noise is large.
Because the water tank and the main body are fired separately, the yield is high. The selectivity of the split is limited by the pit spacing, if it is much smaller than the pit spacing, it is generally considered to build a wall behind the toilet to solve the problem. The water level of the split is high, the flushing power is strong, and of course the noise is also loud.
The split style is not as good as the one.
Siamese toilet: the shape is more modern, the lower level of the split water tank, the water used is slightly more, and the score is generally higher. The conjoined body is generally a siphon type drainage, and the flushing is silent, because its water tank is fired together with the main body, which is easy to burn out, so the yield is low.
Due to the low water level of the conjoin, the pit spacing of the conjoined is generally short, in order to increase the flushing force. The conjoined body is not limited by the pit distance, as long as it is smaller than the pit distance of the house.
Wall-mounted toilet: Because the water tank is built-in, the quality requirements are very high (it can't be repaired if it is broken), and it is also the most expensive. The advantage is that it does not take up space, the shape is more fashionable, and it is used a lot abroad.
For the dark water tank of the toilet genus, generally speaking, the conjoined body, split and concealed water tank does not exist that the water tank is easy to break, and the absolute factor is the bad caused by the old water tank accessories, and the bad caused by the old rubber pad.
