Does untie your hands mean to go to the toilet? Please, 3Q

The immigration activities of Hongdong to copy the big locust tree began with the southward migration of the Song dynasty and ended in the development of the frontier in the middle and late Qing Dynasty

By the fifteenth year of Yongle and about 50 years of DAO, it was the largest, longest, and most extensive official migration in history. The immigrants were put up one by one with ropes, and when it was convenient, the guards were asked to untie their hands, and later untie became synonymous with convenience.

Untie your hands, that is, on.

There are also folk legends about the meaning of toilet and the origin of the word "untie".

Hui, in the early Ming Dynasty to Jiangxi answer, Shandong and other places in the process of forced immigration, the official will tie the hands of two people together, in case of internal emergency to go to the toilet before the hands are untied, so later Jiangxi people will go to the toilet called "untie the hand".

Saying that defecation and urination are "unraveling hands" is the case in many parts of our country. What does defecation have to do with "unraveling"? It is said that it also came from the ancient locust tree to move people, and it was only at that time that the aunt was opened.

Relocation is compulsory, and people are unable to leave their homeland in poverty, and they resist in various ways. The immigration officials and the escort were afraid that they would escape halfway, so after the formation was full, they tied them up and refused to go on the road. First of all, it is a big tie, that is, two arms are tied, which is very inconvenient to move.

Later it was reused"Small ties"Each person only tied one arm, dozens of people were connected on a rope, implicated with each other, one person wanted to move, and no one could escape. Therefore, if any of them wants to defecate or urinate, whether on the way or at night, they beg the messenger to untie the rope that is tied to their arms. In the beginning, in order to convey the meaning clearly, people spoke more completely:

Please untie my hands, I want to poop (or I want to pee)".Due to the large number of people, the number of times to untie the rope on the road is also more, not only troublesome, but also delayed time, because this method is safe, people can't run away, so no matter how numb, no matter how much time is delayed, the poor people dare not change it. Later, I talked a lot, and gradually simplified the original words.

First, he said, "Untie my hands", and I knew that he was going to urinate; Later, it was simply simplified to "untie your hands". As long as someone shouts "unleash", it means that he is going to defecate.

All the way, every day, the sound of "unraveling" fills the ear drums, everyone says it is smooth, and they are used to it. When they arrived at their new place of residence, they were sent to loosen their bonds, and settled down in a new place according to the formation on the road, and started a new life, at this time, although their hands were untied, there was no one to take care of them, and there was no need to report when they urinated and urinated, let alone wait for people to "untie their hands". However, due to the period of life on the road to relocation, it has carved a deep imprint in their minds, and people can't forget it, and sometimes they always have to mention it, and because the time on the road is very long, it has become a habit to say that they still say that urine and urine are "unties".

Over time, "unties" became synonymous with urinating and defecating. Happy to you.
