真正的文明社会起于近几百年。而厕所的进步也就是这几百年的事,甚至可以说厕所是社会文明的一个尺度。上世纪80年代末笔者曾到河北磁县采访一起盗墓案。磁县是古城,历史悠久,文物甚多。在所有堆积如山的文物中,有一样东西给我印象颇深,就是一组北魏茹茹公主墓中的陶俑,陶俑展示了公主生前的各种生活用物,其中就有公主用的厕所,令人惊异的是这2000年前的厕所造型与现在农村的旱厕所毫无二致。
Real civilized society began in recent centuries. The progress of the toilet is also a matter for hundreds of years. It can even be said that toilets are a measure of social civilization. In the late 1980s, I went to Cixi County, Hebei Province to interview a case of grave robbery. Cixian is the ancient city, has a long history, many artifacts. Among all the mountain relics, there is one thing that impressed me deeply, that is, a group of figurines in the ruin of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The figurines show various items of life before the princesses, including the princess’s toilets Surprisingly, the shape of the toilets of 2000 years ago is not different from that of the current dry toilets in rural areas.
