Who invented the world s first toilet

Who invented the toilet bowl is not clear to many experts. One theory is that in 1596 the English aristocrat John Harrington invented the first practical toilet, a wooden seat with a cistern and flush valve, and before that, many people always went to the nearest big tree and small river to solve it on the spot. Although Harrington invented the toilet, it was not widely used due to the imperfection of the sewage system.

In 1861, Thomas Kleppa, a British plumber, invented an advanced water-saving flushing system, and waste discharge began to enter the modern period. Flush toilets began to prevail in Europe and the United States in the sixties and seventies of the 20th century, and later spread to Japan, South Korea and other Asian countries, and in the early 80s, they were seen in high-grade hotels in Beijing. But now it's used in even a slightly more decent paid toilet in Beijing, and it's better to sit than to squat.

This kind of device is called a flush toilet because it uses the principles of siphon and screw siphon to drain the drowning, rather than flushing with water as people imagine. How to save water and suction, there are many doorways here. Although flush toilets are widely available, 2.9 billion people in developing countries still do not have access to toilets.

Don't think that the word "toilet" is a foreign product, in fact, the toilet is authentic, local and made in China. There are various theories as to who invented it.

Hello If you want to talk about the history of the toilet, this has to start from the Han Dynasty, "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" said that the court of the Han Dynasty made "tigers" out of jade, which was 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 toilet pot by later generations, which is also the predecessor of the toilet. According to this, it is said that this "tiger" was also invented by the ancestor Liu Bang who used the crown of Confucianism as a drowning vessel.

There is another theory about the invention of the "tiger child", which is also said to be 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".

There is also a joke in the middle, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin pacified Sichuan, transported all the utensils in the Houshu Palace back to Bianjing, and found that there was a basin inlaid with agate jade, and he was so happy that he almost used it to hold wine and drink. Later, Mrs. Hua Rui, the favorite concubine of Shu Lord Yu Chang, was summoned to dedicate herself, and when Mrs. Hua Rui saw that this thing was offered by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, she hurriedly said that this is my husband's urinal! Zhao Kuangyin was so shocked that he screamed:

Using this kind of urinal, how can there be a reason not to destroy the country? "Crush this treasure right away. The first detailed written record of the toilet was the "wooden horse" in Ouyang Xiu's "Guitianlu II" in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is explained as "wooden toilet" in the "Ciyuan".

The toilet bowl used by the ancient Chinese folk was a round wooden barrel with a lid, which was coated with tung oil or fine waterproof vermilion lacquer.

The Cretan civilization (the predecessor of Greece) in 3000 BC already had toilets, the ancients.
