What did ancient people use to wipe after going to the toilet

Plant stems and leaves, such as bamboo chips, or clods of soil, there is fabric, of course, rich people use fabric, and later after the invention of paper, rich people of course use paper.

Yi Zhongtian's book mentioned that a hemp rope was tied above the latrine, and the rope was tied in a knot, and the knot was used to wipe the PP

bamboo chips, or leaves. Slowly dip your hand into your pants and wipe your asshole back and forth with your middle finger.

Bamboo strips, scraped, are now used in some rural areas.

Toilet paper. The rich must be some kind of handkerchief, silk scarf.

The poor used stones, bamboo sticks, and sticks. Or wash it with water without a sassafras.

The palace is made of paper, and there is no history book that will record the kind of things outside the palace.

China's papermaking began in the Western Han Dynasty, but the productivity was low, papermaking was only for the use of nobles, it was only in the Tang Dynasty that it slowly got better, during the Ming Dynasty, I also heard that the toilet paper can not be more than two, more than two is to be convicted.

At first, it was used with stones or clods of soil or washed PP, and later paper was invented, so paper was used instead.

Water is also available! Leaf! Some are like Gu Tianle in "Looking for Qin" when he goes to the toilet and wipes it with a small piece of bamboo.

The time of the Yuan Dynasty was similar to now, and it was disgusting before, so I won't talk about it.

In the past, it was scraped by splitting sorghum straw in half.
