What did you say about bathing in ancient times?

In ancient times, bathing was called bathing.

"Bathing" means bathing. "Bathing" is rarely said in modern spoken language, but it was a common word in ancient times. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the habit of washing your hair for three days and taking a bath for five days has been formed. So that the government has a holiday every five days, which is also called "Hume". "Hailu Broken Official" records: "Han law, once you rest on the fifth day of the fifth day, you can return to rest and get out of bed."

There were rules in ancient times, and we don't want to wash like this today.

"Book of Rites" once stipulated that bathing is: "On the fifth day, take a bath with soup, and on the third day, take a bath with a pot when your face is dirty; Please wash the soup when it is dirty. " It means telling the younger generation to bathe their parents with warm water every five days and wash their hair with warm water every three days.

In the meantime, if parents' faces are dirty, they should also wash them with rice washing water. If their feet are dirty, they should still wash them with warm water. In ancient times, officials often had a "rest time" to give them time to rest and clean themselves. In addition, it has become a popular custom that children should be "washed three times" from birth.
