The word “toilet” is a modern man’s name for the place where human beings carry out their physical excretion. There were women’s toilets and men’s toilets, but with the development of technology, there are also men’s and women’s toilets.

In ancient times, compared with ordinary people, the emperor’s toilet places can be said to be extremely luxurious. For example, in the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty, toilets were mainly used, including buckets, bedpans, etc. There was no special toilet set up in the palace, but the “Jingfang” was used to store the special place of toilets.

The potty used in the palace was covered with carbon ash. After finishing the work, it was OK to cover the feces with carbon ash. When urinating, it was not necessary to pour the charcoal ash directly into the bucket and put the lid on.

The toilets used by the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were called “Guan Fang”, which was kept by the imperial eunuchs. When the emperor needed to relieve himself, he passed on “Guan Fang”, which was not placed in his bedroom at ordinary times. The “official chambers” used by the emperor are also very exquisite. They are made of wood, tin or porcelain materials, and have oval openings. The toilet is lined with soft cushions around the toilet, and there is a lid on the mouth, and the bedpan below can be pulled like a drawer. After use, the eunuch immediately poured out and washed.

While speaking of the ancient Qing Dynasty emperor toilet is a big deal ah, the whole process basically does not need the emperor himself, must be served by eunuchs, and there are nine steps.

If the emperor wanted to urinate, a line of eunuchs would accompany the emperor to the “official chamber”. The eunuchs would shout:

“Open the dragon robe!” “, “Take off your dragon pants! “, “draw a dragon! “, “Splash dragon water! “, after the emperor winks, the eunuch will then shout “shake the dragon!” “When the urine was clean, the eunuch shouted again,” Put the dragon!” “, “Bronchosaurus pants! “, “Wear dragon robes! “, “To the emperor! .

The whole emperor does not have to start, all the eunuchs to serve, but also divided into 9 steps, is really to see the embarrassment of people have made!
