Anonymous users2024-01-24In ancient China, there was a record of wiping the buttocks with bamboo boards: the bamboo was cut with a knife to be more than a foot long, two fingers wide, and the end was relatively smooth like a tongue, and it would not hurt when rubbing PP. Wealthy people will also carve flowers, birds, fish and insects on the handle part (calligraphers have inscribed more bullish, in the cultural market is a sought-after system, fakes are all a piece of knowledge......After use, soak it in a basin of water and put it in a bamboo tube.
Cai Lun didn't invent paper to wipe his buttocks, hey For your question, ancient people used leaves to wipe their buttocks, you go to some rural areas now, if people are farming in the fields and suddenly want to be gracious, and there is no paper, use mulberry leaves (leaves that are more suitable for use) to wipe their butts! Absolutely!
Ancient paper was produced in small quantities, had a high price, and had a hard texture, so it was not used to go to the toilet. >>>More
According to research, early people used bamboo chips, even emperors. Before the Tang and Song dynasties, people commonly used a piece of wood or bamboo called a "toilet chip", which was used to be scraped rather than rubbed. For example, in 1992, during the excavation of the Fujiwara-kyo ruins in Takaden-cho, Nara Prefecture, the remains of what is called "the oldest toilet in Japan" were discovered, and the toilet remains were found on the outside of the Fujiwara-kyo Shichijo Ichibo building site at the end of the 7th century, "more than 150 pieces of chips were unearthed in the toilet pit", and similar toilet chips were also found in the ruins of the Korokan toilet excavated in Fukuoka City about 720 730 AD, at 11 times A large number of toilet chips have also been excavated from the ruins of the Yanagi Imperial Palace in Hiraizumi Town, Iwate Prefecture in the 12th century. >>>More
The ancients probably practiced "ninja magic", before the invention of paper, the ancients used small pieces of wood and bamboo to "scrape" their buttocks after defecation, and they were not afraid of scraping hemorrhoids. Even after the invention of paper, because China has a tradition of "respecting the word paper", and paper is more expensive, it is a disrespectful luxury to wipe the butt with paper, so the ancients had to continue to be "ninjas". It wasn't until the Yuan Dynasty that the Mongols didn't care about paper, and their buttocks have been treated "gently" since then.
Before Cai Lun invented paper, the princes would use silk cloth, and the flat-headed people used more stones, bricks, sticks, leaves, and bamboo chips, anyway, unlike the Indians who used their fingers. >>>More
