As we all know, the Forbidden City in modern Beijing was originally the Emperor's Forbidden City, and it was also home to many emperors of Chinese dynasties. Many people will choose to travel during the holidays, May Day, National Day small long holiday and winter and summer vacations have always been the peak tourist season, the Forbidden City is one of the tourist destinations for many people. Here, you can not only visit the architectural art of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but also feel the living atmosphere of the ancient emperors in the treasure hall. But there is a problem in the design of the palace, I don't know if the tourists have found it? That is, there is no toilet in the Forbidden City, how to solve it for tens of thousands of people? Admire the wisdom of the ancients!
This can't help but arouse people's curiosity, in ancient times, the Forbidden City was so big, there was not even a toilet, how did they solve it conveniently? Of course, in the face of this situation, the ancients also came up with ways to deal with it! If you have been to the Forbidden City, you may also find this problem, in fact, ancient and modern are not the same, we have a pit of dung after going to the toilet, there is a toilet, but in the far distance around the pit can smell the smell, and as emperors and concubines, they have such a noble body and status how can they forget this smell?
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to build such a dry toilet in the palace. Even if it is necessary to build a toilet, there are so many people in the palace that it will not be able to accommodate it for a long time, and these dirty things must be frequently moved to the container and then transported out. But this is too labor-intensive and a waste of time. Therefore, the ancients simply solved it in the Gong bucket, and it would be more convenient to clean up. The royal and aristocratic solution: they will have a special bedpan, called the "official room", if needed, which is filled with fragrant wood powder and the aroma is fragrant. After solving the problem, there is no smell at all, but the fragrance is overflowing.
And the commoners are not so particular, often urinating and defecating casually, because the public toilets of the Qing Dynasty are charged, and the poor people can't afford to eat, even if they have money to go to the toilet. In ancient times, the difference in rank could really be reflected everywhere, and if you were not born well, you would even go to the toilet. Although the ancients solved it this way, it is still convenient and clean. However, the ancients really spent a lot of energy to build this Forbidden City, and the Forbidden City is very exquisite The wisdom of the ancients is indelible. Every brick and tile, every exquisite carving is extremely laborious, and we would like to thank them for leaving us such a great cultural heritage.
