Were toilets common in the lives of the ancients, and what are the specifications?

In ancient times, there were toilets, but toilets were generally placed in the inner room, which was a relatively private thing.

So, when people in the Water Margin are drinking, they have to be relieved, you can't let him run to his bedroom to go to the toilet to solve it, just find a place to solve it, and it's over.

Maybe it's usually a pit, right?

To be exact, there is probably one such thing in one family.

In the past, the birth rate was not high, the population was not large, and the land was indeed more than now. Needless to say, there must be rich families. Even poor families can use firewood to form a yard, there will be inside, but in order to go to the ground, the general thatched toilet will have a wooden barrel, which contains urine, and when it is sprinkled, it will be sprinkled directly into it, and it will be used as fertilizer after fermentation, and it is inevitable that there will be many mosquitoes in the dimness.

Therefore, there are also many themes about latrines in ghost stories.

In addition, there are toilets in some places, such as inns, examination rooms, schools, etc. The door of the toilet is usually woodcutter.

The ancient environment was well protected, so there were problems everywhere (the grass is high, the more fertilizer, the higher it is).

Hehe, this question is actually very simple! If toilets are not common, how do people solve their own private problems?

Yes, large families have (and there are special servants to clean up), small households and farmers do not, it is convenient to go anywhere or something like a bedpan and a potty bucket is full of things that go to the hitchhiker (a profession, the dung is to fertilize), just like that, in ancient times, people would choose this kind of work when they were desperate, to help others brush the dung bucket and dig out dung, etc., but this was the work of knocking the head on the ground in the eyes of the ancients.
