This thing is very simple, that is, prepare a wooden stick and then wrap a coarse cloth at one end.
When in use, clean the other end of the stick, then clean the stick and use it next time.
This cleaning method was used in China and Japan in the last century, and also in more remote areas.
In a book, there is an article called "Misbiography", which is used to record anecdotes of misinformation in Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Jujube is a good thing, nourishing qi and blood, but the association with toilet can not help but confuse people. Why did the ancient emperor put a basket of dried dates or fresh dates in the toilet all the year round when he went to the toilet? Before that, let me tell you an allusion of Wang Dun in the Western Jin Dynasty, who was a famous historical figure.
In the famous allusion "I don't kill Boren, Boren dies because of me", he is the protagonist who killed Boren. He married Princess Xiangcheng, the daughter of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, and climbed to the position of royalty. In the late Western Jin Dynasty, social life was extravagant, which was initiated by Sima Yan, a wise monarch in the early stage and a fatuous monarch in the later stage. After the unification of the world, his life became increasingly corrupt.
There used to be a story like this. The incident of General Wang Dun going to the toilet in Make a Fool is quite funny. When Wang Dun and Princess Wuyang, the daughter of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, just got married, they went to the toilet and saw dried dates in the paint box. Wang Dun thought the princess was exquisite, and the toilet was full of fruit and food, so he ate it, and ate it all. In fact, this jujube is used to prevent the smell from blocking the nose. When she came out, Wang Dun saw the maid pouring bath water into the golden basin and a glass plate beside her.
Then what's this water and bean powder for? It turns out that the plate of clear water was used by the princess to take a bath, but the bean powder is actually equivalent to the present soap. Because he didn't know what it was for beforehand, he drank all the princess's toiletries. To say that this person's learning ability is also very strong, he gradually mastered the rules and habits in court.
The emperor, like everyone else, is a human being. Every time he goes to the toilet, he gives off a "bad smell", which is absolutely unpleasant. However, as an emperor, the man with the greatest power and wealth in the world naturally doesn't want to have some bad "smells" when going to the toilet. At this time, the burnt red dates have their own functions. Jujube itself has a natural fragrance. Most importantly, the natural fragrance will be amplified after burning, which can cover up the smell when we poop.
After the toilet incident, Wang Dun became famous among the literati in Wei and Jin Dynasties. It's not really Wang Dun's fault. It was the bad atmosphere of the upper class at that time, which was too extravagant. Even the toilet is so particular, which makes a young man who is new here what to do. In fact, the toilet is a toilet after all, which is convenient, practical and clean. Especially in public toilets, I wait for office workers to sit in the office every day. How much time can a person spend in the public toilet every day except occasionally shopping and going out to play? I'm afraid many people can't go several times a year.
Compared with before, we are really much more convenient now. Just having toilet paper to go to the toilet is a great improvement to the quality of life. As for when it was popularized, we have not discussed it, but we know that papermaking was improved by Cai Lun, and the greatest inventions in ancient times all came from China, which is the pride of our Chinese sons and daughters.
