Going to the bathroom was supposed to leave. Why did it become a toilet afterwards?

In the Ming dynasty, people were forced to emigrate, and their hands were tied, which was only untied when they went to the toilet. And then these people say? To relieve myself? The officers and men knew they had to go to the toilet, so? To relieve myself? The word has also become the meaning of going to the toilet. In the dynasties before the Ming dynasty, going to the toilet was going to the toilet, but? To relieve myself? It's more about giving up, and it's called when you say goodbye? To relieve myself? But the process of its evolution is very sad, because it contains many people's reluctance to their hometown and their resistance to other places.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it can be said that the people were miserable, facing not only natural disasters, but also man-made disasters. The people didn't have enough to eat and clothes to wear, because there were uprising wars everywhere, which lasted for about 20 years. You can imagine how hard their life is. Later, the Yuan Dynasty was finally defeated, followed by the Ming Dynasty established by Zhu Yuanzhang. After Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, he put forward many new policies, including the management of many places. Due to the natural and man-made disasters in the previous dynasty, it can be said that empty cities appeared in many places in the Central Plains, so Zhu Yuanzhang began to find ways to restore the vitality of these cities, so he thought of it? Immigrants? .

The first place to be selected is Shanxi with a large population, but? Immigrants? This is a difficult thing, because no one wants to leave their native place, so when the court asked for immigration, people in Shanxi hid and refused to immigrate. The imperial court saw that these people were unwilling to emigrate, and it was not easy to force them blatantly, so the government lied to the locals: those who didn't want to emigrate gathered under the old locust tree, and those who wanted to go waited at home? As soon as they heard the news, they hurriedly took their children to the synthesis house under the locust tree. In just two or three days, there were hundreds of people under the locust tree.

Just as these people were happy that they didn't need to emigrate, the officers and men came to the locust tree with ropes and announced to the people? Everyone under the locust tree should emigrate? Hearing this, the people froze and soon shouted, but the officers and men were unmoved. They picked up the ropes in their hands and began to tie them together, and drew a knife on their toes as a sign to stop them from escaping, so the people had to emigrate under the pressure of the government.

At that time, the traffic was very inconvenient, and no matter how far away the migration place was, it relied on two legs, so when these people wanted to go to the toilet on the road, they would report: Sir, I want to go to the toilet. Can you untie my hand? So the officers and men untied their hands and let them relieve themselves, but when hundreds of thousands of people went to the toilet, a large group of people reported at the same time, so they gradually abbreviated to? Officer, why don't you stop? Officers and soldiers will understand that relieving oneself is going to the toilet. So what? To relieve myself? This word has continued to this day and has become synonymous with going to the toilet.
