Anonymous users2024-01-24A long time ago, rich families had to change their clothes when they went to the toilet. The toilet of Shi Chong's family, the richest man in the Southern Dynasty, was magnificently repaired, and there were generally more than a dozen maidservants dressed in colorful costumes who prepared nail decoction powder, agarwood juice, new clothes, etc., and stood at the door to greet them.
When guests came to the house, they were embarrassed to go when they saw this kind of situation. General Wang didn't care about all this, took off his clothes and went to the toilet, and after defecation, he came out wearing the new clothes prepared by the maidservant, his expression full of pride. From this detail, it is not difficult to see why the ancients would call going to the toilet "changing clothes".
Of course, in more poor people's homes, there is no "changing" condition, but no matter whether they change clothes or not, people's happy feeling during defecation is irreplaceable. This dirty but pleasant journey will not be recorded in all textbooks, and it seems that only Ouyang Xiu's reading method of "going to the toilet right away" is worth promoting, which really makes our civilization greatly reduced. Take a look at a few of the stories below that smack of history, and you may think that this is just a good addition to the history of "laughing".
