How did people go to the toilet in ancient times?

The aristocracy sat on the toilet, and the commoners generally squatted in the thatched pit, because there was no such thing as us in ancient times.

The aristocracy sat on the toilet, and the commoners generally squatted in the pit. I guess so!

As now, there were wooden toilets in ancient times. Ancient Chinese civilization has a long history.

Toileting, in Wenyan, means "to go to the toilet". "Such as" means "to obey, to follow" in the ancient language; And "enter" means "enter". To go to the toilet is to relieve your hands.

Whether it is an ancient or a modern person, the physiological function is the same, and the toilet should be the same, but the conditions are different.

With bamboo chips, the ancients called it "toilet chips".

It doesn't matter if the toilet is the same, but the toilet should be the same

The men are standing and the women are squatting.

Push your buttocks against the toilet...

Wasn't there a thatched pit in ancient times? If you don't have a pit, just find a place to hide

In the original primitive society, of course, Xi Xinla pulled it anywhere, and if he had a stool, he would find a comfortable place to squat, and the major event of the reincarnation of the five grains would be accompanied by a burst of comfort and resolution.

In the pre-Qin period, people began to consciously build aqua toiletsAfter all, it is not very particular to find a place to pull in the wild, first, the terrain is uneven, and secondly, it is not easy to deal with how to clean it after pulling. Having a fixed place to go to the toilet can solve both of the above problems.

At that time, people randomly dug a big pit and squatted next to the big pit to pull. But the activity of going to the tuba is relatively long after all, and it is a little difficult to withstand the wind, rain and sun, so everyone simply repairs a canopy on the pit.

In the Xia Dynasty, a new type of toilet appeared, which was the "圂". The so-called fence is to build a toilet on top of the pigsty, and people pull on it, and the manure falls directly into the pigsty.

After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the nobles had palaces, and it didn't feel appropriate to build a pigsty in the palace. This leads to a new toilet, which is generally a large vat, put a wooden plank on the large tank to facilitate toileting. Of course, there are also those who dig aqua toilets directly in the ground.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, especially in the Wei and Jin dynasties, several wealthy people became popular, even the toilets had to be compared. Your toilet is like a palace, and my toilet has to be like a fairy garden.

For example, Shi Chong's toilet, his toilet is the size of a courtyard, surrounded by not only carved dragons and phoenixes, but also hung with famous calligraphy and paintings, the decoration is very elegant. Dozens of beautiful-looking and well-dressed maids were placed on the side, some of them holding various cleaning spices, and some of them preparing clean clothes for the toilet-goers to replace when they were finished. This kind of atmosphere has objectively and effectively promoted the development of toilet culture.
