    The history of the toilet can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, when the toilet was called Huzi, which was dedicated to the emperor, and legend has it that it was made of jade. It was held by eunuchs who served the emperor at any time. Later, in the Tang Dynasty, because there was a person named Li Hu in the emperor's family, in order to avoid secrecy, he changed the name of Huzi to Beast or Mazi.

    After that, in the circulation, it evolved into the name of the toilet.

    Do you know why the toilet is called a toilet now? The ancient "toilet" was not the modern kind of ceramic, made of wood, with a wooden barrel underneath and a chair with a board hollowed out on top. The inside of the barrel is covered with vanilla to cover the smell.

    There is also a kind of thing called "night pot", if you are interested, you can search for it.
