Why is the toilet called "toilet" instead of donkey bucket?

Don't think that the word "toilet" is an exotic product. In fact, the toilet is made in China. From the year when mosquitoes were hit, the convenient place for our ancestors was the flat ground, which later evolved into a pit, and then a toilet appeared. Mosquitoes also followed humans in that year. When people showed their sweet buttocks, mosquitoes began to have dinner.

To talk about the history of toilets, we have to start from the Han Dynasty. According to Xijing Miscellanies, the court of the Han Dynasty made "tigers" out of jade, which were held by the attendants of the emperor for his convenience at any time. This kind of "tiger" is a special appliance called toilet and urinal by later generations, which is also the predecessor of toilet. According to this, it is said that this kind of "nothing" was also invented by the high-impedance Liu Bang who used the crown of Confucian scholars as a drowning device. There is another saying about the invention of "nothing", which is also said to be related to the emperor. According to legend, in the Western Han Dynasty, Li Guang, a flying general, shot and killed a crouching tiger, which made people cast a copper drowning device in the shape of a tiger and put urine in it to show contempt for the tiger. This is the origin of the name "Tiger". However, when the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sat in the Dragon Pavilion, the disrespectful term was changed to "beast" or "girl" because one of their ancestors was called "Li Hu", and later it was commonly known as "toilet" and "urinal". There is also a joke among them. Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizu pacified Sichuan, and transported all the objects in the palace of Houshu back to Bianjing. He found that there was a basin inlaid with agate and jade, which was so happy that it was almost used to hold wine. Later, Mrs. Hua Rui, the favorite princess of Shu Yu Chang, was called to dedicate herself. When Mrs. Hua Rui saw that this thing was offered by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty in several cases, she quickly said that it was my husband's urinal! Surprised Zhao Kuangyin's strange call: "How can there be a reason not to perish the country by using this kind of urinal?" Smash this baby right away.

The first detailed written record of the toilet was the wooden horse in Return to the Field II written by Ouyang Xiu in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was interpreted as a wooden toilet in Ci Yuan. The toilet used by the people in ancient China is a round wooden barrel with a lid, which is smeared with tung oil or fine waterproof vermicelli.

Even many experts can't tell who invented the toilet, but it is certain that

it was invented by foreigners. In 196s and 197s, flush toilets became popular in Europe and America

, and later spread to Japan, South Korea and other Asian countries. In the early 198s, they appeared in high-end hotels in Beijing.

We don't like to talk about toilets, so there are many argots in this field, such as No.1

, make-up, "London" (wheel squat) and so on. But in fact, we care about it very much, so we might as well

say it as bluntly as there is a best-selling children's book in America called Everyone Must Piss

. Cai Xiang, a Shanghai writer, recalled the daily

life of the residents around Suzhou Creek in 195s, and wrote:

At the first dawn, dung trucks will ring bells and walk into small alleys.

Many men and women will rub their eyes and carry toilets, and then go out in turn. However, after

, there is a long queue in front of a public tap. Therefore, at that time, Suzhou River was always as thick as sticky juice, and feces were always floating on the water.

everyone has to go to the toilet, but what kind of toilet to use is really different. At the beginning of the 2th century, the women workers who wrapped themselves in clothes "got up half naked to open the door and grabbed

pants for the toilet" within the specified five minutes. In the deep-walled inner courtyard of Zhumen, the master goes to the toilet, and the servant waits respectfully with a warm towel, and the master says "Manhao" when he is finished. Modern

people are even more gentlemen, who can make the toilet automatically complete the functions of flushing, cleaning and drying without hands

. The 1 years of toilet changes are 1 years of tears and laughter.

Even many experts can't tell who invented the toilet. There is a saying that in 15

96, the British aristocrat John Harington invented the first practical toilet-a wooden seat with a

water tank and a flushing valve. Before that, many people always went to the nearest big tree and river to solve it on the spot. Although Harrington invented the toilet, it was not widely used because of the imperfect sewage system. In 1861, Thomas

Kleppa, a British plumber, invented an advanced water-saving flushing system, and waste discharge began to enter the

modernization period.

Toilets became popular in Europe and America in the 196s and 197s, and later spread to Japan, Japan, South Korea and other Asian countries, and they were only seen in hotels with good grades in Beijing in the early 198s. But now it's even used in the pay toilets in Beijing. Sitting is better than squatting. This device is called a toilet because it uses siphon, spiral siphon and other principles to pump away drowning, < P > instead of flushing with water as people think. How to save water and have a large suction

, there are many doorways here.

Although toilets have become more popular, there are still 2.9 billion people in developing countries

who don't use toilets.
