    The toilet bowl used by the ancient Chinese folk was a round wooden barrel with a lid, which was coated with tung oil or fine waterproof vermilion lacquer.

    In 1596, the English aristocrat John Harrington invented the first practical toilet, a wooden seat with a cistern and flush valve.

    In 1778, the British inventor Joseph Bramley improved the design of the flush toilet, using such a three-ball valve to control the flow of water in the tank, and a U-shaped bend.

    In the 19th century, the British government enacted a law requiring every house to be fitted with a proper sewage system, and toilets began to improve dramatically.

    In 1861, Thomas Kleppa, a British plumber, invented an advanced water-saving flushing system, and waste discharge began to enter the modern period.

    In 1885, Thomas Tweifford patented the first all-ceramic toilet in England, and dozens of patents for improvements have been granted each year since.

    In Shanghai in the 30s of the 20th century, when the morning light first appeared, many people would rub their sleepy eyes, carry the toilet, and walk out of the house one after another, and then line up in front of a public faucet.

    In the sixties of the 20th century, flush toilets began to prevail in Europe and the United States, and later spread to Japan, South Korea and other Asian countries.

    In the early 80s, it was only seen in a high-end hotel in Beijing, but now it is used in even a slightly more decent paid toilet in Beijing.
