How did the ancients go to the toilet?

In ancient times, when people with status went to the toilet, they usually wore official clothes with split sides. They are two pieces after being hung, and then they take off their underwear and sit on a gong bucket to untie them.

If a person is not busy enough, he can also be served by a bookboy and a girl. In the Qing dynasty, people wearing long coats could lift skirts and put them over their shoulders. As for ordinary people, their daily routine is to dress up short and take off their pants and skirts.

As for wiping your ass, the ancients were particular about using toilets to raise money. In the Ming Dynasty, someone visited Hu (a famous bibliophile in the south of the Yangtze River) and said that when he went to Anping, he saw local men and women replacing paper toilets with rubble. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Houzhu personally built toilets for monks.
