How did the ancients "stress hygiene"
Recently, the uncivilized behavior of China tourists traveling abroad has been criticized, including loud noise in public places, littering, Chinese mothers letting their children pee in the street and other unsanitary phenomena. At present, it is the Japanese cherry blossom season, and Ueno Park in Tokyo even wants to translate the five chapters of cherry blossom viewing into Chinese and distribute them to China tourists? In fact, these uncivilized behaviors not only make foreigners feel ashamed, but also deeply ashamed if our ancestors knew something underground? China as a? State of etiquette? As early as the pre-Qin period, paying attention to hygiene, not urinating or spitting everywhere had become people's code of conduct?

Pre-Qin period? Don't pee anywhere? Has become a code of conduct.

What's the name of the toilet at home? Green? Or? Hey? What is the name of the roadside or outdoor public toilet? Hey?

In ancient China, there was zero tolerance for defecation and defecation. Zuozhuan? "Three Years of Ding Gong" recorded such a thing: On February 29th, three years (507 BC), Duke Zhuang of Guo Guojun found the gatekeeper washing the courtyard with water in the distance. He was angry and asked what was going on. ? What's with the shooting? The gatekeeper's answer made Zhu Zhuanggong angry. Spin? It's peeing. Ishegu pees in his yard. Not bad! So Zhu Zhuang sent people to catch Isegu, but they didn't catch her. Zhai Zhuang jumped out of bed with anger and accidentally fell on the charcoal fire in the furnace. As a result, his skin was burned and festered, and Zhai Zhuang finally festered and died. This is said to be a special case of ancient people who gave their lives against defecation. For Yishegu? Very rude? Disrespect, Zhuang Gong's strong reaction, not only reflects how clear people's attitude against defecation everywhere, but also has something to do with the ancients' attention and concern about their own home sanitation.

In fact, judging from the fact that China invented the toilet very early, it is an indisputable historical fact that China has been opposed to defecating anywhere since ancient times. In the pre-Qin period, people called toilets? Qing? Or? Hey? , mostly at home. Another word? Hey? , is also a kind of toilet, mostly located on the roadside or outdoors for people to use, which is the source of modern public toilets.

According to historical records, the ancients paid more attention to the hygiene inside and outside the home than today. Often mentioned? Aggressive In the world? Invasion? The word, that is, the cleaning behavior of the ancients: invasion? what's up People? +? Broom combination refers to a person sweeping the floor step by step with a broom.

This cleaning is gradual. Why do you have to sweep slowly? Although the ancients didn't know what PM2.5 was, they knew the harm of dust and were afraid that dust would cause secondary pollution to the environment when sweeping the floor, so they should sweep it slowly. In order to reduce dust, the ancients often sprinkled water before sweeping the floor, so the ancients often called sweeping the floor? Sweep? .

? Spitting everywhere? Is considered immoral. Disrespect?

Book of rites? Internal rules? At my parents' aunt's house? Can't? Tucao? blow one's nose

No spitting was also advocated and actively promoted by the ancients. Book of rites? The internal rules stipulate: At my parents' aunt's house? Don't cough, cough, stretch, limp, stare or spit. ? Here? Dare not spit? You can't spit everywhere. Tucao? Phlegm and runny nose.

Not spitting in the Book of Rites is required by ethical standards, but it is another understanding in ancient doctors. Sun Simiao, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, said in Bao Mingsheng:? Every time I pluck my nose hair, I often get used to it You should always pluck out your nose hair and get into the habit of not spitting. Although Sun Shi called? Are you used to it? First of all, it is put forward for the needs of health care, but objectively it is beneficial to environmental sanitation and reduces the infection of germs.

Just as the appearance of toilets can prove that the ancients opposed defecation, the invention of spittoon is an important material evidence that the ancients did not spit everywhere. Spiton, also known as the ancients? Sputum pot? Porcelain, jade, metal and other textures were necessary for home use at the latest in the Han Dynasty. According to Xijing Miscellanies, Guang Chuan Wang Liuqu stole Wei Xiangwang's tomb. Which one did he steal? Jade spittoon? . By the Qing dynasty, spittoon pots were more royal? Standard? .

The spittoons commonly used by the ancients are obviously different from those commonly used today, and some spittoons are not placed on the ground. Conditional people are mostly held by servants at any time, and Kong Anguo, the descendant of Confucius, once held a spittoon. According to "Hanshu Guan Yi", during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Kong Anguo, as a courtier and Confucian, listened to the imperial spittoon. ? If necessary, when the ancients went out or went to some important occasions, they could hide the sputum pot in long sleeves and carry it with them.

In ancient times, there were corresponding management measures for spitting on important occasions. Like the Ming dynasty? Supervisor? , generally by logistics soldiers, Li Si as a kind of person in charge? Supervisor? . "Da Ming Hui Dian" records: Is the supervisor right? If you cough and spit, correct it immediately? . Lin Ming Yaoyu's "does not draft" also records:? Baiguan is not allowed to spit when he enters the noon gate. If they come to carry out the orders, those who cough will be allowed to leave work. ? If you are caught spitting, you will be punished. For example, the emperor worships heaven in the Temple of Heaven, and spitting is taboo. It is a crime to drink and eat meat, and to spit when offering sacrifices. ?

Spitting everywhere is not only unsanitary and uncivilized, but also impolite, especially in front of the emperor? Disrespect? Maybe you will lose your mind. According to Shu Wei? When Li Lichuan recorded Tuoba GUI, the ancestor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the left general Li Li Chang was in front of Tuoba GUI? Cough and spit? As a result, Tuoba GUI found a reason to kill him.
