Bathing was called bathing in ancient times.
According to many materials in our country, it is found that the ancient people of Qisun were much more hygienic than imagined, and in the Qin and Han dynasties, they had formed the habit of washing their hair every three days and bathing every five days. With unprecedented hunger, the government gave one day off every five days, which is also called "rest".
China has a long history of bathing, as early as 3,000 years ago in the era of the Rotten Qing Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty, there are records of bathing in the oracle bone inscriptions. There is also a record in the "Zhou Li" that "there is a bathroom in the king's bed". By the Spring and Autumn period, the people of our country had begun to use special equipment for bathing.
Xiao Gang, Emperor Jianwen of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, once wrote three volumes of "The Book of Bathing", which is the earliest monograph on bathing found in China so far.
According to historical records, in 334 A.D., Shihu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty built the "Longwen Pool" in Yecheng, which is an earlier large private bathroom in China. Xi'an Lintong's famous hot spring bath "Huaqing Pool" was built in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, with the prosperity of commerce, commercial public baths came into being.
In Wu Zeng's "Manlu of Neng Gai Zhai" in the Song Dynasty, there is a record that "the public bath must be hung on the door", indicating that the public baths in the Song Dynasty also hung signs to attract customers.

We now use soap and other laundry for bathing, what did the ancients use to make detergent? In fact, "soap" has a long history in China, the following is the ancient "soap" knowledge I bring to you, welcome to read, more practical information please pay attention.
The ancients were the first to use plant ash as a detergent. The Book of Rites. The Inner Rules say:
The crown is covered with dirt, and the ash is rinsed. It means: When the strap of the hat is dirty, it is washed with the ashes of the plants.
This is because the potassium carbonate in plant ash removes oil. According to the record of the "Examination of the Work", in order to make the silk soft and white, the ancients wet the silk with plant ash water, put in the ash made of shells (the ancients called it "mirage"), and soaked it in water. This is because plant ash water and shell ash can react to produce a strong alkali – potassium hydroxide.
The Han people already knew how to wash clothes with natural stone alkali. Jin people also added starch and spices to the stone alkali to make ingots**. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing opened a shop specializing in artificial soda, among which "Hexianglou" and "Huahanchong" were still selling boxed peach-shaped and gourd-shaped rose permeate until the early years of liberation.
In addition to fragrant alkali, the ancients used honey locust to wash clothes. In the market of Lin'an (now Hangzhou), the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, there is a tangerine-sized round ball made of honey locust powder, and Zhou Mi recorded its name in "Wulin Old Things": soap ball.
Put soap ball in water to foam and remove stains. Later, detergents with similar effects to the West were also called "soaps".
And what is the "pancreas" all about?During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Jia Siqian had already mentioned the use of pig pancreas to remove scale. There is a recipe in the Tang Dynasty "Medicine Sage" Sun Simiao's "Thousand Golden Prescriptions":
Use the washed pork pancreas, grind it into powder, and add soybean flour spices to make granules. This is the ancient pancreas, also called bath beans. Later, people combined pancreas and aroma alkali to make a large dumpling, which is the osmanthus pancreas and rose pancreas mentioned in "The Legend of Children's Heroes".
Therefore, in ancient times, people mostly used grass ash or wood ash, soap horn, bath beans and other stain removers for laundry, which is equivalent to the brands such as stain stain remover commonly used by people now, although the effect is not as good as that of modern times, but it is indeed the top decontamination star product at that time.

Bathing, bathing, bathing. "Mu" also refers to washing hair, that is, shampooing;"Bath" means to wash one's body. In ancient times, before the emperor worshiped the heavens and worshiped the ancestors, and the monks chanted the Buddha, it was a custom to bathe first, indicating that the heart was pure and reverent.
As early as 3,000 years ago, in the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang period, there were already words such as "bath", "bath", and "wash". These words have different meanings. "Bathing stupid chang" is to take a bath;"Mu" means to wash your face, and "bath" is to wash your hands and feet.
Short story: with a calendar.
In ancient times, bathing was not only for personal cleanliness and hygiene, but also as a kind of etiquette and a social morality, and it was observed together. For example, when going to court to meet and meet guests, etc., you must first burn incense and bathe to show piety and respect.
The Analects of the Confucian Question says: "Kong Lang Fengzi bathed and went to court." Confucius's political ideology was to promote the rule of etiquette, so he strictly followed it, took a bath and then went to see the princes, or to worship the ancestors and gods.
Lao Tzu is also very particular about hygiene, "Zhuangzi Tian Zi Fang" records: Once, Confucius went to see Lao Tzu, just ran into Lao Tzu taking a bath, wearing long hair, not like a person, Confucius was taken aback. China is an ancient civilization with a long tradition of hygiene and customs.
In ancient times, it was stipulated that the upper and lower body bath towels should be separated.
