At the same time, in order to avoid dust pollution and keep the engineering buildings beautiful and generous, the Forbidden City in Beijing uses some fine charcoal as natural materials, so most chimneys in the Forbidden City in Beijing are invisible at this stage. On weekdays, watching the stadium play, occasionally there are shots of the housekeeper cleaning the feed truck and the dung bucket. This scene, in fact, can spy out how the Ming and Qing courts solved the toilet problem.
The Forbidden City in Beijing was formed in the Ming Dynasty, so in the book History of the Forbidden City in the Ming Dynasty, we can find the truth about ancient people going to the toilet. According to this book, there is one and a half rooms between the outer court and the inner court of the Forbidden City. This half room is called the "East-West Wall", which is actually the "toilet" for the palace family and officials. There is a wooden basin hanging in this house, which is actually a special tool for going to the toilet. It is not difficult to see that this kind of toilet is actually a toilet in the palace. In the environment at that time, the sewage treatment equipment was outdated and there was no toilet.
If the toilet is built in a house, no matter how many preventive measures are taken, it is very easy to stink. In this way, how can those arrogant emperors, queens and harem concubines want to smell this smell? Neither quadrangles in Beijing nor quadrangles in rural areas have the habit of leaving toilets in buildings. Generally, toilets are built in the southwest or northeast of the courtyard. Therefore, the Forbidden City in Beijing, which pays attention to the traditional and rational layout, will not leave a bathroom in the house even if it has 9999 half rooms.
