What did the ancients use to go to the toilet

The ancients were the first to wipe with tiles after going to the toilet to defecate, see the first episode of the TV series "Looking for Qin".

Isn't it a finger? Later, those people's brains gradually became enlightened, and they got tired of it, so they just replaced it with those things, right?

I didn't expect the dude to be interested in this issue. I think it is difficult to find a basis from the historical data, and we can only infer that unless there is any breakthrough discovery by archaeologists in the future. In my personal opinion, this is a problem that human beings often encounter, and it is also difficult to avoid.

The thing used after defecation should be easy to find, comfortable, and cheap. I don't think I need to say much about why. Before the invention of paper, I think the leaves with these three characteristics may be washed with water if possible, of course, the flexibility of the leaves is relatively poor, and the washing is a bit like that, so I think it is more likely to use dead grass or bark.

The rich use straw paper and the poor use clods of earth.

It should be made of leaves or something soft like leaves.

With bark, tiles? No, that kind of thing rubs PP, if it doesn't bleed, then how high the technology is^^

Retweet a fragment of "The Daily Life of Ancient People":

We all know that papermaking was improved and promoted in the Han Dynasty, and people at that time felt that it was a cultural item and cherished it more, until the Mongols entered the Central Plains, people began to use paper to wipe their buttocks.

Then the question is, what did the ancients use to go to the toilet before?

The answer is "toilet chip", also known as "stirring stick", which is a strip of wood or bamboo more than 20 centimeters long, and the ancients used this thing to solve after going to the toilet.

As for what people used before the advent of toilet chips, there is no way to accompany the ants to research, after all, the ancients were also ashamed to record this kind of nonsense.

However, according to some poor rural areas after the founding of the People's Republic of China, people still use leaves, straw, pebbles, and even soil clods to go to the toilet.

It is said that at the beginning of the 20th century, the American Skoo Paper Company purchased a large number of paper, and there was negligence in the transportation process, resulting in wrinkles on the paper surface because of moisture and unusable.

Scott named this paper "Sonny" Wei Heng buried paper towel, because it was soft and easy to tear, it was very popular in the market, and soon became popular in the United States and went to the world.

After reading: I think if you go back to ancient times, the toilet problem should be considered a relatively difficult thing to adapt to and accept.
