The difference between bathing and showering.

Including relationships, bathing-bathing, including bath, shower, soaking in a big pool and other bathing methods, are far from each other, and there is no comparability between the two.

In the traditional folk customs of the Han nationality, bathing and washing clothes should be concentrated on the 27th and 28th of the twelfth lunar month to get rid of the bad luck for one year and prepare for the Spring Festival next year. There is a saying in Beijing that "twenty-seven washes the sick, twenty-eight washes the sloppy". Taking a bath on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month is "washing Fulu".

Bathers and bathers have been important things in daily life since ancient times. Ancient sages, if they want to cultivate their nature, they must cultivate their bodies first, and if they want to purify their hearts, they must first purify their bodies. So bathing is the most important thing. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius praised the realm of beauty: "People in late spring have finished their spring clothes, and the number one scholar is five or six, and the boy is six or seven." Bathing is almost a deduction, and the wind is dancing and singing. " In the Qin and Han dynasties, the third day of each month was the body bathing day. No matter high officials or ordinary people, they put all chores outside their bodies, but they clean their hair wholeheartedly. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was a "Bathing Festival" in the middle of the year, and its yellow hair was all in the water. As for the contemporary flourishing age, granaries are plentiful, people are happy and diligent in bathing, and bathing utensils are more exquisite and interesting. Bathing has finally become a great weapon of culture.
