First, the frequency of bathing. Although ancient people couldn't take a bath every day like we do today, they still had their own way. What was the name of bathing in ancient times? Take a shower? However, this bathing is not at the same level as the bathing we understand today. In ancient times, bathing meant washing your hair and taking a bath, but today bathing means taking a bath in the bathtub. What does mu mean? Wash your hair every three days? What do you mean by taking a bath? Take a bath every five days? . Although this seems incredible to us today, the frequency of bathing in ancient times is the highest, and it does not refer to ordinary people, but to guests who go to other people's homes. Only guests can enjoy such high treatment. Even if you are an official of the imperial court, taking a bath every five days is a very enviable thing in the eyes of the public.
Second, the things used for bathing are different. If we take a bath today, we all use soap or shower gel to clean our bodies. In ancient times, although the material was not as rich as it is now, the ancient people were also very particular about bathing. When the ancients took a bath, they put some medicine in the bathtub. Medicinal bath? And after taking a shower, the upper and lower bodies should be wiped clean with different cloths. Wipe the body with a particularly soft and delicate cloth on the upper body and a completely different piece on the lower body? Coarse cloth? Wipe your body. If you feel thirsty during the bath, you can also drink some water to supplement it. In the eyes of the ancients, bathing every five days was a process of enjoyment.
Although bathing in ancient times was not as frequent as it is today, and there was a lack of material things, ancient people did not give up on themselves because of this, but let themselves live a comfortable and happy life.
