How do Tang people take a bath? Li Chen didn't know if in ancient China was washed like this, maybe it was like this. Because in modern times, there are still some retro people who take a bath like this.

When people take a bath, first of all, they must have a bath bucket. The tub, which is usually large and deep, can fit a person in, and can bury the upper half of your body in the water, and soak in it.

The correct name of the bath bucket should be called the bath dungeon, and a stool called the bath bed will be placed at the bottom of the bath dungeon, so that you can sit on it and soak, so that it is easy to get up, and you can also stretch your legs straight. The size of the dendrobium is about the height of the upper body of an adult, plus the length of the legs. There are different shapes, but if you really don't know, you can actually refer to the Japanese bath bucket.

'Zhangjia Bathhouse.... With a family, ah, there are no old, there are three small ones, and Li Chen is now a family of four. He took Sanxiao to a bathhouse. Seeing the bathhouse, Li Chen sighed, it was not easy to take a bath.

Tang people really take less baths, it's not that they don't wash, as I said earlier, because of the trouble of bathing, even women wash less. In addition to the rich and noble, there can be servants who can be served, and perhaps they can wash every day. But the average person rarely does this. Because it is troublesome to take a bath, some people will go to the bathhouse to take a bath.

"Don't make a mistake, you two go to the men's bath, Ah Xiang, bring all the things, otherwise I won't be able to send them to you." Entering the bathhouse, Li Chen commanded the three leather monkeys, and last time it was like this, the three small ones all ran to the women's bath and made a big noise.

Li Chen took Xiaohu and the puppy into the men's bath and began to clean it, he picked up a piece of bath beans and began to wash his body, and then he and the two children helped each other to carry each other.

It is also a very important bathing activity, in fact, not only the back, but also the rest of the body. Because you don't take a bath often, it's extra troublesome to take a bath, and it's extra troublesome to take a bath, so you don't wash often, which is simply a vicious circle.

Of course, Li Chen, who has good living habits, does not need to be so troublesome to take a bath every day, only the places that cannot be washed on the back need help. Adversity? It's disgusting for men to pinch each other!! Li Chen actually enjoys a soft girl to help her back, but unfortunately the current conditions are not up to it.

'This bath bean is finished again, and I have to buy a piece.' Li Chen looked at the bath beans in his hand, "If you want to buy them at Liu's house, their bath beans are cheaper." ''If you want me to say, go to Zhao's house to buy it, Zhao's family has to be more durable.'' Xiaohu and Puppy said one by one, expressing their preference for bath beans.

Bath beans are soap in the Tang Dynasty, and this is not the first time Li Chen has used it. In Li Chen's fortune plan, there is no option of soap, because the Tang Dynasty people already have a variety of cleaning products available for bathing, from high-end to low-end.

Low-end poor families can first use grass and wood ash, smear them on their bodies, and then wash them away. If you don't like plant ash, you can also use soaphorn. Li Chen remembered that he used this kind of thing when he was a child. Of course before being reborn, not this body when I was a child.

Saponaria is actually the fruit of a tree, which looks like a green bean on the outside and has honey locusts. Li Chen remembers that when he was a child, he would pick up the honey locust from the soaphorn tree and wash his hands with the seeds inside. In fact, it's just fun, unless the hands are particularly dirty, otherwise it's hard to find and pick up, and it's quite laborious. And it doesn't work very well.

It's not entirely that the effect is bad, and the effect is poor and it won't be used for thousands of years, mainly because his own method is wrong, and he doesn't have much juice to wash his hands after working hard for half a day. In the Tang Dynasty, there were people selling this kind of thing all over the street, and the price was not expensive, so he realized that the correct way to use it was to soak it in hot water first. Of course, you can't get much out of squeezing it with your hands like he did.

In addition to plant ash, there is also rice swill available. Rice swill is rice washing water, and the rice water can also be used for bathing. This is also very common, anyway, you have to wash rice when you eat, and put the water to ferment a little, it can still be used for bathing.

In addition to the above two, there is also a pancreas. The pancreas is a pig's kidney, which is mashed and mixed with plant ash, kneaded and shaped, and dried to use. However, this is rare in Datang, because Tang people don't like to eat pork, it's very fishy. If you raise fewer pigs, most of them are sheep than geese. These two are less fishy.

The above several, soap cans are fine, plant ash and pancreas are used for the poor, the effect is poor, and it is troublesome. A little bit of money is more than half of the use of bath beans, bath beans are cheap, some are expensive.

How expensive is it? Take Sun Simiao, who is famous and must be written in novels in the early Tang Dynasty, for example, he has a medical book - Qianjin Yifang, which has a special chapter to write the ingredients of bath beans.

Just pick up a recipe, there are more than a dozen kinds of materials, and the process is also troublesome. So it's expensive. Generally, there are only a few Chinese medicine prescriptions that are cheaper in the market.

Therefore, Li Chen didn't think about making soap at all, and the ancients already had similar products. He doesn't think that there can be a big market for rushing to launch soap. He is not a professional business talent, and it is difficult to position soap.

Instead of taking the risk of pushing the kind of soap that doesn't know how it sells and is quite difficult to price, it is better to do other things, it is now the Tang Dynasty, and there are still many things that can be used to add it.

'Wait, you two haven't washed your hair anymore, get your hair good before you get into the water.' Looking at the two little greasy hairs, Li Chen frowned. 'You don't need to wash it, just comb it with a grate.' The puppy said with a grin. "Yes, it's good to comb it, that is, thirteen, you will force us to wash it once every three days." ’

The living habits of the ancients are certainly not as good as those of modern people. If you travel back in time, you are not a wealthy family, or you simply have a convenient place to get water at home, or you live near a river, and it is very troublesome to take a bath, even to wash your hair.

The ancients did not like short hair, and before the wild boar skin entered the customs, the Chinese still thought that "the parents of the body hair and skin do not dare to destroy it". Both men and women have long hair and wash it every day? Damn it, carry water, boil water, wash your hair, dry your hair, and finally coil your hair up. Time was lost.

You say that if you don't wash your hair, your hair is greasy, and it will breed lice, which is sad and unhygienic, how can the ancients endure it? Of course, I can't stand it, so there's a way to comb my hair...

Of course, it is not a general comb, and the comb is called a grate, which is characterized by being very long and fine. Generally, the comb has a wide gap between the teeth, and it is very thin, so thin that it can only accommodate the lower hair.

If you comb it with a grate, not only lice will be combed out, like lice eggs, dandruff or something, all will be combed out on your back. When the dirt is combed out, the hair is much more comfortable, and it can also be used several times to achieve a certain degree of cleaning effect.

Don't think that this thing is only available in ancient times, and frankly, it is still used in modern times. In the spread of tap water supply, washing hair becomes very convenient and very easy、It will not disappear beforehand、

For the two little ones who don't wash their hair, Li Chen directly expressed his opposition with actions, first grabbed the puppy, then scooped up hot water, poured it on his head, and then took out a gourd and poured it on the puppy's head. The gourd immediately flowed out some gelatinous liquid, which is the honey locust soup.

The ancients were not as particular as modern people, and they also divided their hair into washing and bathing, and they also had to distribute quality when washing their hair. Usually you can take a shower, and you can use it to wash your hair.

The poor washed their hair with ashes from plants and trees, usually in water. It's not so poor, it's like this, boiling the soap horn into a hot soup, and finally it becomes this kind of cleaning liquid.

'It's useless to struggle, resign yourself to your fate, and you have to baptize me.' Li Chen first cleaned up the puppy, and then the little tiger. Clean up the puppy first, because the puppy is too flexible, if you clean up the tiger first
