    Why is a bucket called a toilet when people are sitting? This can be traced back to the "Wooden Horse" in Ouyang Xiu's "Returning to the Field Lu II" in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is the earliest written record of the toilet. As for the history of the toilet, this has to start from the Han Dynasty, "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" said that the Han Dynasty court made "tigers" out of jade, which were held by the emperor's attendants in case the emperor was convenient at any time.

    This kind of "tiger" is a special appliance called a toilet and a potty by later generations, and it is also the predecessor of the toilet. It is said that this "tiger child" was also invented by Gaozu Liu Bang who used the crown of Confucianism as a drowning weapon. There is another theory about the invention of the "tiger son", which is also related to the emperor.

    Legend has it that in the Western Han Dynasty, the "flying general" Li Guang shot the dead crouching tiger, and let people cast a copper drowning device in the shape of a tiger, and put the urine in it, expressing his contempt for the tiger, which is the origin of the name of "Huzi". However, when the emperor of the Tang Dynasty sat in the dragon court, just because one of the ancestors of their family was called "Li Hu", he changed this disrespectful term to "beast" or "horse", and then commonly known as "toilet" and "urinal". Later development, as we can see, no matter how it evolves, basically cannot get rid of the appearance of basins and barrels.

    This is the aftermath of the toilet.

Legend has it that during the Western Han Dynasty, Li Guang shot the sleeping tiger through Yang arrows, and specially ordered people to cast a copper drowning device in the shape of a tiger for Xiao Xie to use, which means contempt for the tiger, and later generations called it "Huzi". Later, it was changed to a toilet because of avoidance.
