Why go to the toilet and go to the kitchen

I don't know how to explain the answer I'm looking for somewhere else, so I'll make do with it.

Some people who go to the toilet explain that in an agrarian society, the toilet is combined with the pigsty, the upper floor is the entrance to the toilet and the pigsty, and the lower floor is the manure tank. So going to the toilet becomes going to the toilet, indicating the direction.

And I think this word is simply the meaning of "go" and "to".

Compound: go to the street.

Sentence formation: You go to the street and buy some green onions.

Or: you go up to the kitchen and get a few green onions.

are common usages.

About the kitchen.

Up to the hall, down to the kitchen. This is a famous sentence that describes a good husband who loves his wife and can do housework, is knowledgeable, and teaches his wife and children (cough).

Some people have also discussed this, and it is said that generally speaking, the kitchen is a relatively lowly activity, for example, the gentleman cooks far away, and the scholar does not enter the kitchen, generally speaking, it is the master and the servant of the family who work in the kitchen, and the description of the upper and lower indicates the high and low ...... where they go

Some people also say that according to the location of the ancient traditional house, (I don't understand what feng shui can be) the location of the kitchen is in XXXX, and the location of the toilet is in XXXXX. So it's time to go to the toilet and get out of the kitchen.

There are many names for toilets, some places are called cellars, some are called thatched houses, and the more elegant ones are called toilets and washrooms. The Chaoshan area continued to be called "Dongsi" or "Dongguo" in the Tang Dynasty.

under the kitchen. The author believes that in the past and even in the eyes of people today, the kitchen has always been a skill of women, and there is a common phenomenon around the world that women and what they are engaged in and familiar with are "looked at differently", thinking that it is dirty and tiring, and that waiters should do things.

The most difficult thing to explain is the example of "going to the toilet". About the toilet in ancient times, "The Interpretation of the Names and the Palace Room":

The toilet or said to be muddy, and the words are turbid. "Saying": "Circle, toilet also, from , like a pig in the mind."

The mutual training of "圂" and "toilet" shows that the toilet and the pigsty were combined at that time, and this situation is fully proved in the archaeological relics. One of the important features of the pigsty models unearthed from Han Dynasty sites in various places is that they are often connected to toilets, similar to those in rural areas before liberation. The combination of the circle toilet provides convenience for the accumulation of fertilizer.

In rural areas, latrines are generally located in pigsties 20 to 100 meters away from houses, and some are divided into two floors, the upper floor is the pigsty and the entrance for people, and the lower floor is a large manure tank. Not later than the Han Dynasty, people did already use the feces in the circle toilets. Therefore, because the toilet is on the upper floor, it becomes a toilet.

It can be seen that the origin of this use is related to historical facts.

I guess you're asking the question about why it's used here. It may have something to do with the language habits of the Chinese. Going to the toilet - We like to put something bad and must do, in front of a good verb or adjective, in order to be in a good mood to complete it.

Lower kitchen - I think it may have something to do with our culture, in ancient times, the rich and high-status people in the feudal society did not cook, there were servants to cook, and it was also a place where they often stayed, and after a long time, it was called like this, I think the original meaning may be a place where the next person cooks for the master. This is also just a personal understanding! I don't know if it's right?

The main source of this is that human beings lived in caves at the earliest, if the toilet is placed at the bottom of the cave, the smell of the toilet always goes up, then the whole living environment will be affected, and it is not hygienic, so the toilet is placed on the top of the cave; The kitchen and dining room are placed underneath, which is convenient and solves the problem of heating in the cave. That's why people always have a habit of saying, "Go to the toilet, go to the restaurant"! The wisdom of the Chinese is incomparable!!

That's an interesting topic!

Going to the toilet is a must for any living person, whether it is an emperor or a commoner, whether it is a celebrity or a fan. There is no distinction between high and low.

However, it is not necessary to go to the kitchen, in ancient times, people were divided into high and low, class, and race. The so-called "subordinates" of large families only go to the "kitchen" to cook and cook.

Because toilets and kitchens won't come to you.

The ancient saying that the toilet and the kitchen do have a certain basis, mainly because in the past, the toilet was built at a high place, and the sleeping and kitchen were mainly built at a low place, which can better help to discharge the odor of the toilet and make the air fresher.
