"Convenience" and "Jinjing" cards
After all, China is an ancient civilization. Although the status of the toilet is very low, there are many sayings about going to the toilet. Going to the toilet, cleaning, changing clothes and going to the toilet are full of rich cultural connotations. During the Revolution of 1911, there was such a story. Yu Youren, a veteran of the Revolution of 1911 and a great calligrapher, was very angry when he saw someone urinating in the corner of his yard. So he wrote down a few big characters: "Don't urinate anywhere" and put his entourage on the wall to play a deterrent role. The attendants saw that the old man's Mo Bao was hard to give up, so they asked someone to write a picture and post it. They carefully framed the notice and hung it in their own hall. Everyone praised it, because "don't pee anywhere" was reordered and became a motto: "Don't be careless in small places". The answer lies in why some people nowadays are so obsessed with ranking. Like many celebrity anecdotes, it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false to urinate anywhere. But one thing is certain, convenience everywhere is really annoying, especially when your door becomes a drowning place that some people enjoy.
Mr Yu Youren.
China, as a vast ancient country, has attached great importance to this "convenience" since thousands of years ago. "Zhou Li Tianguan" records that "officials in the imperial court are responsible for the cultivation of the six rooms of the king, so that they are in good order, except for their defects and odors". The "well" here is not well water, but a "leaking well", which is equivalent to the current urinal. The "well" refers to the current pit.
Ancient toilets
There is a joke about "going to the toilet" in Master Ling Xiao's Essays. It is said that three princes wrote poems on the topic of "going to the toilet", one wrote "urgent urination by the board, feces falling into the pit late", another wrote "wind blowing the ass, cold air entering the bladder", and another wrote "seven precepts for women, four seals for husbands". Although the middle one was cut, its physical strength was not as good as that of the Song school. The latter is devoted to the topic and abandons the theme, which is a way to try to paste poems. Although the last person's poem has nothing to do with the toilet, it does closely follow the theme of "palace" In the Qing dynasty, the wives of four officials could all be called "Gong", but this "Gong" is not another "Gong"!
