After coming out of the prefect's bathroom, Darren walked to the Gryffindor common room in a good mood, and in the empty hallway, he remembered an article he had read in a southern department about the bathroom. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It is to the effect that a foreign student lived in a family apartment during his school in Europe, and saw a basin in the bathroom, which was on the side of the toilet, similar to a wash basin, but the position was relatively low, and asked the owner of the house, who was not familiar with him at that time, and felt more private, so he did not tell him, and waited until he became familiar with it later, and then told what it was, which was originally called a "bidet", and sat with the water flowing or spraying out of the faucet facing or facing away to achieve the purpose of cleansing the body.

Judging from the timeline, if the situation is true, the author also went to Europe at about this time, and the communication between the Chinese people and the world is far less than that later, and it is okay to see such a novelty rise in knowledge, but the article blew that thing to the sky, what convenience, hygiene, environmental protection, and even what civilization is hung up, as if without this thing it would be heinous, backward and ignorant.

Hegel famously said, of course, that the original sentence is "everything that is rational is realistic, and everything that is realistic is rational", and this "reason" refers to the concepts it represents, such as "laws, reasons, and causes", but like many other famous sentences, after being cut in half, it has become "existence is reason", and it has become completely purely used to mess around and shirk responsibility.

Of course, here we are using the "simplified version" to talk nonsense, but the sentence that is completely placed on the "bidet" is very appropriate, why did such a thing appear in Europe? Is it really "convenient, hygienic, environmentally friendly, and civilized"? Let's look at Europe at that time.

The earliest record of the Bidet dates back to 1710, which may have been installed in the home of the French royal family by the inventor Christophe, but in France at that time, Bidet was more often found in Fengyue places, which was convenient for prostitutes to clean and facilitate work...... Well, at least hygienic.

At the same time, King Louis XIV of France bathed only once in the 64 years from 1647 to 1711 – an astonishing record that is still preserved in the daily physical records of Louis XIV's imperial physician.

In the 18th century, King Louis XV of France bathed only three times in his life, one was on his birthday, the second was his wedding, and the third was his burial.

Are Europeans dogs born with an aversion to bathing?

Of course not, more than 1,000 years ago in ancient Rome, people were recognized as loving bathing, and there were many large baths in Rome that were as gorgeous as palaces, but in the Middle Ages, due to the degradation of technology, there was no ability to build huge and complex boilers and pipes, and the cost of bathing in Europeans increased greatly.

One is to pad a very delicate cloth or silk under the bathtub, so that the body will not be pierced by the wooden thorns of the bathtub when bathing, and the common people can never afford to buy so many high-grade fabrics to pad their buttocks.

The second is the problem of bath water, at that time there was no huge bathhouse in ancient Rome, and boiling a pot of water in a large pot at home was only enough to fill one-third of the bathtub, so it was very troublesome to boil water three times in a hot bath, so at that time a bath water had to be recycled, by the way, according to the order of a bath at that time, the baby was put last, and there is a proverb in English, "Throw the baby and the bathwater together" It is easier for children's shoes who have experience in pouring dishwashing water and spoons into the toilet bowl when doing housework.

The third is that the soap, sesame oil and spices used by the ancient Romans for bathing were made of ground pine cones and water, which were very expensive in medieval Europe, and no one could afford them except for the big nobles above the earl.

If the above is to make it difficult for ordinary people to take a bath, then the most terrible thing is the bad influence of feudal superstition, according to the inexplicable theological theory, the Catholic Church believes that bathing will damage the vitality of the body, not as a last resort, it is better to take less baths, at first it was just not advocated, similar to Buddhism abstaining from alcohol, meat, and sex and other broad sayings, and later began to strictly prohibit it.

Because from the beginning of the 14th century, a Black Death spread throughout Europe, killing one-third of Europeans, in the face of ubiquitous death, frightened Europeans everywhere to find the cause, unfortunately, bathing was also among them, doctors at that time believed that water would weaken the function of organs, when taking a hot bath, the pores were completely open, and toxic air would enter the body, so the more you bathed, the more likely you are to get sick, only without bathing can you be healthy, if there is a thick layer of dirt on the body, it can resist the invasion of disease……

Although we should not look at the ancients through the eyes of today, it is undeniable that under the fear of the Black Death and the propaganda of the Church, Europe entered a "stinking age" in which the whole people did not bathe, just like the aforementioned Louis XIV and XV.

As you can imagine, this poor lifestyle can lead to extremely serious hygiene problems, especially the "cycle of grains", which is essential every day, and there is no toilet paper at that time...... For women, because of the physiological characteristics, the problem is particularly serious, so the emergence of the "bidet" is naturally logical, in fact, this thing is at most to show that Europeans are poor and hypocritical, a basin can do things, have to do so troublesome, but also connect hot and cold water, how lazy.

To be honest, if that guy comes back to be the agent of the "bidet" bidet, it will be enough to fight like this, but it seems to be ...... For some people, the bones are so soft to the depths of the soul.

With a sigh of emotion, Darren went into the Gryffindor's common room, and through tonight's practice, he showed that his plan was completely feasible and could go to the Black Lagoon to practice on the spot, and then, he saw Hermione sitting at the table closest to the entrance of the cave, and on the chair opposite her, sitting Dobby, and the house-elf next to her, Twinkle.

"What's going on?" he asked, and a cold sweat began to break out on his head, what was going on, Hermione actually met Sparkle, although he knew it was sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
