The name of the toilet in China

In ancient China, toilets were mostly located outside the house, and pig toilets were connected with pig houses in the form of "toilet-toilet integration". Usually, cesspits are dug with thatch, called pits, huts or toilets. During the pre-Qin and Han and Wei dynasties, toilets were also called cleaning toilets. Xue Dou, a monk in the Song Dynasty, once cleaned the toilet in Lingyin Temple, so this toilet is also called Yin Xue.

Now it is mainly called toilet, toilet and dressing room.

China Minnan calls toilets "shit"? Son "(Saiha? K-×), Fuzhou dialect in eastern Fujian is called "Duncuo", Chaoshan dialect is called "Dongsi", Hakka dialect is called "Dung" or "Dung Pool", and Cantonese is commonly known as "Dung" (toilet without toilet) or "Dung Tower" (toilet with toilet).

In Sichuan dialect, the toilet is called "toilet" (the sound of "toilet" is the same as "secretary"), and going to the toilet is called "relieving oneself". This is because during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when Huguang filled Sichuan, a large number of Hunan and Hubei immigrants were forced to move into eastern Sichuan with their hands tied, and they could only untie their hands when it was convenient.
