There was no toilet in the ancient palace, so how did those concubines go to the toilet?

China is a nation that pays great attention to Feng Shui, especially in the ancient royal family. Therefore, the emperor would never design toilets when building his own bedroom, because toilets are absolutely taboo in Feng Shui.

Therefore, when we visit the Forbidden City, we will never see the existence of toilets. It is for this reason that there are no toilets in ancient palaces, and when the emperor and his concubine solve problems, they will all solve them in the toilet.

Of course, the so-called toilet is different from the one used at home now. The material is wood. Of course, as an aristocrat, this kind of wood is very noble, and it is mainly lobular rosewood. This toilet is designed so that people can sit directly on it. This design is similar to the current toilet.

When the host is convenient, the maid-in-waiting will promptly dispose of these filthy things to the assembly point outside the palace. In fact, there is nothing inconvenient about these emperors' concubines, but people are very tired in this situation.

Ancient resources were not so rich. Even after paper was invented, it would not be used directly for convenience, because the quality of paper was very hard. In ancient times, ordinary people used bamboo chips to clean them, and then washed them with water for next use. These emperors and dignitaries used silk.

Silk is the best kind of cloth, which is expensive, but emperors and ministers will throw it away after using it, instead of washing it and reusing it. I once read a news that in ancient Rome, ancient people used hemp rope to clean up local hygiene after convenience. It is really wonderful to think about it. The key is that this kind of hemp rope is reusable and always hangs next to the toilet. The method of use should be simple and easy to understand, but will the effect be really obvious after repeated use?
