Of course, as long as the conditions are convenient, there are many easy-to-sharpen stones in homes in the countryside or cities. Smooth stones are used for wiping your butt regardless of ancient and modern times. This is also the most convenient and practical method. However, in some places, it is plain, how can it be wiped without stones? Of course, there is a solution, the plains are mostly large expanses of dirt, and in order to facilitate local materials, the whole world has to wipe their butts with dirt. If the soil is too dirty for a good home, they can use bamboo chips.
Generally, nobles or royals in ancient times mostly used this smooth bamboo or silk to wipe their buttocks. Of course, this piece of bamboo was processed and was often used by the royal family of the Qing Dynasty. Nowadays, with the development of technology, there are toilet paper, high-end toilet paper, and even paper specially designed for wiping your butt. It's a little embarrassing to think about the way older generations used to wipe their butts, but at the same time, thank you for your efforts. Without their efforts, we would not have a beautiful and happy life now. Farmers also work in the fields for a long time. People have three urgent needs. No one used bamboo sticks this time. They just looked around to see what they could use. In the mountains, pine needles or some larger leaves are used. There are dry pine needles on the ground. Just grab one and wipe it directly. It is easy to use. But leaves that are too thin will break and get dirty, so pine needles are best. In the fields, there is straw, usually straw is used. Break the straw in the middle and scrape it off with a sharp surface. It's easy to clean, just like using a bamboo skewer. Sometimes they use leaves from crops, corn, or weeds. But when you have nothing, you have to use clods. People rarely use clods because they feel something is still there.
