bath culture
Health preserving theory
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.
Enjoyment theory
The reason why people take a bath again is because of the three characteristics of bathing. First, water is the purest and cleanest, which can wash away all kinds of filth. "You have to shake off the dust, but you have to take advantage of the cool autumn water." Second, water is the most feminine, which can neutralize everything and shake off the dust in your heart. The same color inside and outside, both body and mind are clear. "In front of Qiushuitang, the mirror is clear and the heart is as clear as jade." Third, water is the most wonderful. When you take a bath, your body and mind are happy and gradually get better. "It is a wish that West and Weng Tong at the head of Baishigang splashed water on each other, producing a thousand drops of blue fragrance.
