    The big name of the toilet is "Hui Fan", and the common name is "thatched toilet". Small pieces of wood or bamboo are chipped. Rinse off with water for next use.

    Because ordinary people use thatch and mud walls to build toilets in their homes. This is not necessarily, in the history of our country, there are still emperors who fell into the pit and choked to death by dung.

    This person was the king of the Jin Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period. One day he ate and went to the toilet, but when he got up, he was dizzy and planted in a pit, and when he was rescued, he couldn't save his life.

    Origin of toilets: The origin of toilets in China was first discovered 5,000 years ago in the tribal ruins of the Banpo village clan in Xi'an. At that time, the toilet was just a soil pit, from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period, the toilet was more than the pigsty side by side, and the Han Dynasty had a sitting toilet, in the Eastern Han Dynasty tomb in Nanyang, not only the two toilets for men and women were side by side, and one of them had a urinal trough, which was very similar to the modern toilet.

    With the change of dynasties, the toilet is becoming more and more perfect, and people are becoming more and more exquisite. From the pit toilet at the beginning, to the pig toilet built next to the pigsty, and then there is a "large tank toilet", the "official toilet" where the toilet is stored has a separate room for the nobles to use the toilet, and it is also convenient to summon servants to serve, and the nobles often put some of the best silk, brocade cloth, etc. next to it to improve comfort.
