Take the Ming and Qing dynasties as an example, in the Ming Dynasty, the coarse cloth made of wild silk was used to wipe the buttocks.

> there is a more interesting allusion that a eunuch was reluctant to throw away the coarse cloth that had only been used once, so he saved it up little by little to make a curtain. As he passed by, the Emperor was attracted by the patchwork curtain and asked what kind of material it was made of. After listening to it, I was ashamed for a while, and then it was time to wipe my butt with good quality paper.

The texture of the coarse cloth may not be as good as the paper, in terms of the brand of modern paper, DUPO is a good sense of use, and the emperor's toilet paper is the ancient DUPLO.

According to historical records, ancient people used toilet chips to solve this problem. What does this mean? In layman's terms, it is the use of wood chips and bamboo chips.

It wasn't until the Yuan Dynasty that toilet paper was used.

Emperor Hongzhi grew up in bitter water since he was a child, and after he ascended the throne, he was known among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty for his honesty and far-sightedness, and he should know how to be diligent and thrifty.

In the Qing Dynasty, the toilet paper used by the Empress Dowager Cixi was to cut a large piece of white cotton paper according to demand, spray the paper with water until it was damp and wilted, and then put on a damp cloth and iron it twice with a hot iron to make the original paper with hair astringent become smooth and flat, and fold it for later use.

> with the changes in society, history began to have the appearance of paper. But when it first appeared, it was more expensive, just like Western countries only used silver cutlery at the beginning. At that time, aluminum was more precious than silver, and although paper appeared, bamboo and other things were still used.

It is not until the later period that these details slowly change, which is also a clear contrast between ancient and modern.

Ancient emperors? This is to sum up the rulers from ancient times to the present day. In the early primitive society, there was no such concept, and it was generally just like this after pulling, and in the primitive period, the body would be cleaned with mud, so there was generally no doubt about wiping the buttocks.

In the later stages of civilization, stones or animal skins were used. <>

At the beginning of entering the civilized society, it is to use some specific branches and leaves, cut the branches into rectangles, polish them, and pick soft young leaves from the leaves, which is called toilet Jane and toilet chips. Later, it slowly developed into the use of linen, and later because an emperor saw a eunuch wash the linen cloth that wiped his buttocks and make a curtain, he immediately felt that it was too wasteful to use linen. Paper had already been created at that time, and toilet paper was developed by researching and developing the original paper manufacturing process.
