Toilet reading, that is, reading while the toilet, dragging a little is to say that it is the reading of the toilet, a little elegant, the ancient road is to say that it is a respectful reading, to put it bluntly, it is the reading of the bathroom and the bathroom; this is a kind of reading method handed down by the ancients and once relished.
This experience is something that many people have: in the toilet, reading while pooping and peeing — books, journals, newspapers, or wall hangings of the family (common in bathrooms in large hotels and high-speed service areas), or ~ mobile phones.

In the Guitian Record, Ouyang Xiu recorded Qian Weiyan and Song Shuo's toilet readings.
Qian Weiyan is a real "second generation official", but he has no bad habits, and he claims to himself: "In his ordinary life, he only reads well, sits and reads the history of the scriptures, sleeps and reads novels, and when he goes to the toilet, he reads small words. ”
Song Shou is "every time you go to the toilet, you will carry the book in the past, and the sound of irony will be heard near and far."
Ouyang Xiu confessed that he himself often used the "three uppers" to read and write, that is, immediately, on the pillow, and on the toilet. Ou Gongxue Qian Gong "three rules" and "three upper", can be used as a training.
Qian, Song, and Ou can all make full use of the "toilet" to read.
For example, Song Shou and Ming Ren He Liangjun "went to the toilet, and they would also make a compilation by hand" ("Four Friends Zhai Cong" self-prologue).
In ancient times, toilets and toilets can be imagined. On the reading of the toilet, today is more qualified - who does not read when the toilet is in the toilet today? Although the book is read or not.
While zhou zuoren was reading a book on the toilet, he specifically talked about the environment:
"If there is a clean toilet, it is still okay to read some books when you go to the toilet, but you don't have to write an essay." Books do not need to be divided into subsets of scripture and history, and they can be read at will; I have a common practice of not taking rare books or difficult books, although it is also common to read grammar books. In my experience, it's best to read essays, but not novels. ("Bitter Bamboo Miscellaneous Notes: Toilet Reading")
For example, Qian Wei performed, and Zhou Zuoren also talked about the types of books suitable for toilet reading.
According to the recollections of those around him, our great leader Chairman Mao had a lot of books in his bathroom, and he insisted on reading them in the toilet, such as the "Selected Writings of Zhaoming", which he read intermittently when his old man went to the toilet.

There are also examples of toilet reading or relishing toilet reading in foreign countries.
Zeng Tao read a book called "Book Addict", written by the American Tom Rabble; his "Reading Hundred States" chapter said:
"Book addicts take the opportunity, even every moment without books, and carry books with them wherever they go. For them, there is no time or place that is inappropriate to open a book, when taking a train, a plane, a bus, or using various other means of transportation, when eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, going to work, going to the hospital, going to the supermarket, waiting in line, and so on. ”
This chapter also has a separate section on "ToiletIng out", which specifically talks about how to go to the toilet and read "two mistakes".
In Ryunosuke Wasagawa's novel The Half Life of Daidaoji Nobusuke (Hayashi Kyaukubi's translation of Rashomon Series 4-2), the favorite dadaoji Nobusuke also reads when he goes to the toilet: "Whether sitting at a desk, in a car, or going to the toilet—sometimes even walking on the road, I indulge in reading books." ”
The eighteenth-century British statesman and writer Lord Chesfield also read it in a letter to his son:
"A gentleman should be a man who is good at arranging his time and does not waste his life. Even if he went to the toilet, he could read the works of Latin poets in between. For example, he bought a copy of the Selected Poems of Horace, tore off a few pages, and took it with him to read. He read them first, and then offered them as sacrifices to Croasina (the god of ancient Roman mythology who managed sewers and public health). ”
Toilet reading, very gentlemanly! It is just that the "teachings" that are destroyed while reading are unreasonable and should not be followed or imitated.

Regarding toilet reading, there were also negative rumors in ancient times.
Yu Ji of the Qing Dynasty also loved to read in the toilet, but it is said that this affected his success in the meritorious examination. Qian Yong's "LuYuan Cong Dialect , Cong Shu Seventeen Folding Blessings" once recorded:
Dai Yaoyuan's "Notes on Spring Water Residence" contains a very detailed case of reading books and folding away the title on the bachelor's toilet in the Yuqiu Room (set) in Hangzhou. In July, Yu first entered Beijing, and when he saw the bachelor, he asked about this matter, and the bachelor knew that there was it, so it can be seen that Yao Yuan's words are not vain. The great mortals have the most ridiculous way to read a book on the toilet. ”
Immediately after that:
"Yunjian Cai Li Zhai is the grandson of Shilang Hongye, the grandson of Zuo Du Yushi Feng Gongguang Xiong, and a generalist. I like to read books on the bucket (that is, the wooden toilet), the township test more than ten subjects are not the first, to help the example of Jiangxi County, waiting for Nanchang, poor and miserable. There was a very wise eldest son, who died unmarried, and the ceremony was also killed. Yu tried to persuade him, but did not listen. Who has been trapped all his life, and he knows that he is not as good as Yu Xueshi's folding Fuye? ”
Toilet reading folding blessing? It's sensational. Aren't the seniors Ouyang Xiu, Qian Weiyan, and Song Shou all good!?
Hao Yixing's "Notes on the Book Hall and Reading in the Toilet" has a special note:
"In the old tradition, there were women who devoted themselves to the Buddhist scriptures, and although they did not stop reciting them when they went to the toilet, they died in the toilet after receiving good results, and they were passed on as precepts. Although the words of the Shi Clan may not be credible, they are also enough to see the filthy area, and it is not appropriate to recite it sarcastically..."
There is really no need to work so hard and seize the time so quickly; as for "irony", like Song Shuo, it is even more unnecessary.
It is understandable to say that toilet reading affects bowel movements and is not conducive to health; but compared with reading to pass the loneliest and most impatient time that accompanies this person's birthday, people would rather lose the big because of the small - not absolutely can not be understood as the big loss of the small.
Toilet reading, cautious advocacy, according to the situation.
