Eating, drinking, sleeping, acting and sitting and walking, this is a "compulsory course" for people, whether you are an emperor or a pawn of a peddler, these things are always inevitable to do, and you have to do it yourself; for example, even if you are a palace noble concubine, noble in status, and extremely respected, but things like "going to the toilet", you must do it yourself, then, do you know what is the highest realm of "going to the toilet"? Look at Cixi's toilet, you know.
As we all know, although there were emperors of the Late Qing Dynasty, such as Tongzhi and Guangxu, the actual ruler of the Qing Dynasty was the famous Empress Dowager Cixi, who controlled the Qing Dynasty and dominated the power of life and death in the world, and her status could be said to be extremely high. It is precisely because Cixi's status is so high, so everything about Cixi must be matched, even if it is "going to the toilet".
First of all, Cixi's toilet, its raw material is high-grade sandalwood, you know, even if it is an ordinary rich family, the use of sandalwood to make furniture is already very luxurious, and our Cixi Lafayette, but the rare sandalwood used to build the toilet, you say you are not convinced.
Secondly, Cixi's sandalwood toilet, carved with the image of a huge gecko, and presents an image of catching prey, is really lifelike, this large gecko carved from fine sandalwood, if you do not tell you its use, who can guess that it is a toilet? If the toilet can also be called a handicraft or a work of art, then the toilet of the Empress Dowager of Kindness must definitely be counted as one.
The four paws of the gecko cling to the ground tightly, which is the four legs of the toilet; the gecko's belly seems to be holding its breath and bulging upwards, which is of course the basin drawer of the toilet; the gecko's tail is long and rolled up, and the tail is slightly folded back, intersecting with the tail handle to form a number "8", which becomes the rear handle of the toilet; the gecko's head is high, and slightly backward, clinging to its stomach, and its jaw is slightly raised, parallel to the tail behind, which is the front handle of the toilet.
On the whole, the gecko's head is twisted backwards, and the two ruby-encrusted eyes can just look at the owner on the back; the gecko's mouth is open, and it is just right to let go of the paper; and the best thing is that the gecko's back also lies a snout (chī wěn, one of the nine sons of the dragon), which is the lid of the toilet, and when this lid is opened, Cixi Lafayette can safely "go to the toilet".
This is Empress Dowager Cixi's ultra-luxurious toilet, art toilet, dare to go to the toilet can also go out of the realm, so we can not help but sigh, it is really poor to limit the imagination!
