    Toilets. Why is it called a toilet?

    1.Legend has it that the Western Han Dynasty was a flying general.

    Li Guang shot an arrow to kill a tiger, after shooting the tiger to death, Li Guang was very happy so that he asked his subordinates to use copper to forge a tiger-shaped utensil, and urinate in this utensil, in order to show a kind of contempt and disdain for the tiger, and later people named this utensil "Huzi".

    2.In the Tang Dynasty, because Tang Gaozu Li Yuan's grandfather was called Li Hu.

    In order to avoid suspicion, he changed his name to "Mazi". Later, when it was spread among the people, the traditional shape of "tiger" and "horse" was too difficult to forge, so most of them were cylindrical, and later they were called "toilets".

    It is recorded in the ancient annals that this is a written record of the early toilet bowl. Legend has it that during the Western Han Dynasty, Li Guang shot the Crouching Tiger to death through Yang arrows, and specially ordered people to cast a copper drowning device in the shape of a tiger for Xiao Xie to use, which means contempt for the tiger, and later generations called it "Tiger Zi".

    But the ancestors had a name "Li Hu", and it seemed disrespectful to call Huzi, so it was renamed "Beast" or "Horse", and then later, because the function of this thing in the people's homes is generally undertaken by an ordinary barrel, and the folk generally call it "toilet". This term has been used ever since. Modern people are commonly known as "toilets".

    Why is it called a toilet? This can be traced back to the "wooden horse" in Ouyang Xiu's "Returning to the Field Lu II" in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is the earliest written record of the toilet. As for the history of the toilet, this has to start from the Han Dynasty, "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" said that the Han Dynasty court made "tigers" out of jade, which were held by the emperor's attendants in case the emperor was convenient at any time.

    This kind of "tiger" is a special appliance called a toilet and a potty by later generations, and it is also the predecessor of the toilet. It is said that this "tiger child" was also invented by Gaozu Liu Bang who used the crown of Confucianism as a drowning weapon.

    There is another theory about the invention of the "tiger son", which is also related to the emperor. Legend has it that in the Western Han Dynasty, the "flying general" Li Guang shot the dead crouching tiger, and let people cast a copper drowning device in the shape of a tiger, and put the urine in it, expressing his contempt for the tiger, which is the origin of the name of "Huzi". However, when the emperor of the Tang Dynasty sat in the Dragon Court, just because one of the ancestors of their family was called "Li Hu", he changed this disrespectful term to "beast" or "horse", and then commonly known as "toilet".

    The predecessor of the "toilet" was called "Huzi": in the Western Han Dynasty, the "flying general" Li Guang shot the dead crouching tiger, and let people cast a copper drowning device in the shape of a tiger, and urinated in it, expressing his contempt for the tiger.

    After the Tang Dynasty emperor Li Yuan became the emperor, the family surnamed Li became noble. In ancient times, there was a rule of avoidance, the name of the noble person could not be used by others, the grandfather of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan was called Li Hu, and this "tiger" became sacred, so the "tiger" was changed to "horse". The name has changed, and the shape has to change.

    "Mazi" was originally designed for men, and women simply couldn't use it. Later, in the process of improvement, considering this problem, the shape of the "horse" continued to change, from a delicate animal shape to a simple barrel and basin shape. In the future, no matter how it evolves, it is basically impossible to get rid of the appearance of basins and barrels, and the name has gradually changed from "horse" to "toilet".

    This is where the name "toilet" comes from. In the Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu's ** collection "Returning to the Field" introduced the toilet in detail. It can be said that the toilet invented by the ancient Chinese, except that it cannot be automatically pumped, is very similar to today.

    In ancient times, the toilet was not called the toilet, it was called the tiger, and then because there was an ancestor named Li Hu, in order to avoid it, and because the shape of the toilet resembled a tiger and a horse, it was renamed "beast" or "horse", and over time the common people called it the toilet, which has been used to this day.

    The reason for this seems to be that in ancient times, the toilet and the stable were together.

    I also heard that there is such a saying, but many of the teachings of nouns are not triggered by the actual meaning of the object itself at all, but are caused by other allusions.

  8. Anonymous users2024-02-08

    Hello, what you said really has an allusion.

    Legend has it that Tang Taizong changed "Huzi" to "Mazi" in order to avoid secrecy, and most of the common people used ordinary buckets to go to the toilet in their homes, so "Mazi" was called "toilet" in the folk.

    In ancient China, people called the toilet a change of clothes, according to historical records, the predecessor of the toilet was a container called "Huzi", the saying about "Huzi" is that General Fei "Li Guang in order to reflect the contempt for the tiger, deliberately ordered people to cast a tiger-shaped copper drowning device, this is the origin.

    In the Tang Dynasty, Tang Gaozu's grandfather was named Li Hu, in order to avoid it, so this drowning device called "Huzi" could only be avoided and renamed "Mazi".

    Since most people use buckets to go to the toilet, the name toilet came from this and is widely used, and it is still used today.

    Because we humans didn't have a special place to defecate in the beginning, but a grassy grove. In the end, the horse was tamed for war, the toilet was invented in order to feed the horse, and finally human civilization took the toilet to urinate and urinate, so it is still called the toilet.

    What kind of toilet should you go to?

    The reasons why the toilet is not called a human bucket are as follows:

    The toilet is not called a human bucket, because the commode of the high-profile family in the past is already somewhat similar to the toilet we design today, so it is very appropriate to call it a toilet cong zhao. In addition, when going to the toilet, people's sitting posture is a bit similar to Zamabu, and the toilet is used for a bucket, which is called a toilet and the image is appropriate.

    In the past, horses were used as a noble means of transportation, and it was common to travel on the street, and there were usually large households where horses appeared, because ordinary people could not afford to buy horses at all. The horses have to run fast, they have to eat more, and of course they have more excrement. But it is obviously a very rude thing to excrete in front of **, and it tastes bad.

    Advantages and disadvantages of toilets

    1. The toilet is the product of modern science and technology, with good comfort, good water-saving performance and strong flushing ability, which is a good bathroom tool for modern family toilets. However, because of its high quality, the shortcomings of installing hemp ants and troublesome maintenance make many families not choose it.

    2. The toilet is suitable for use in small families, such as families with only 3 people including less than 3 people, and of course it is also suitable for use in the secondary bathroom.

    3. If there are elderly people at home, try to equip the elderly with toilets, and try to use them in places with fewer people, so as to ensure sanitary performance.

    4. If there are too many people, health will not be guaranteed, so toilets are not suitable for public places and public places such as hospitals, hotels, and offices.

    5. The human comfort performance of the toilet is very good, which can relax our legs, but its disadvantage is that it is easy to cause surface pollution when men urinate.

    Summary. Kiss! The reason why the toilet is called a toilet is that the reason why the toilet is called a toilet is really not a random name given by the ancients. Behind this name, it actually has a lot to do with Li Shimin's family in the Tang Dynasty.

    Kiss! The reason why the toilet is used by people but is called toilet core oak is that the reason why the Ranshi toilet is called a toilet is really not a random name given by the ancients. Behind this name, it is actually very related to the Li Shimin family in the Tang Dynasty.

    Kiss! Huzi toilet, since its birth, has become a must-have for nobles. In the following 100 years, the shape may have changed slightly, but in general, it has not changed much.

    However, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a small episode. As we all know, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was surnamed Li, the founder of the country was Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, and later there was Tang Taizu Li Shimin, who created the rule of Zhenguan. But what few people know is what Li Yuan's grandfather is called.

    Li Yuan's grandfather is called Li Hu. Speaking of which, Li Hu is also a very good character. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he followed Yuwentai to conquer the north and south, and was finally named one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty.

    If there was no Li Hu, in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the Li family would not have such a big power, and maybe there would not have been a later Tang Dynasty. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Hu was honored as Taizu, posthumously as Emperor Jing, and buried in Yongkang Mausoleum. Since the ancestor of the old Li Liang Ji family is called Li Hu, at this time, it seems that it is not very appropriate to call the toilet Huzi again.

    So Li Shimin ordered that all the tigers in the country should be renamed.

    Kiss! Therefore, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the toilet that was originally called the tiger was renamed the beast or the horse. The name Mazi doesn't seem to be very smooth.

    After the disadvantages dissipated, people simply called it a toilet, or urinal. When it came to the Tang Dynasty, the word toilet finally appeared.
