휴지도 하수도도 없던 시대, 조선 사람들은 매일 쏟아지는 똥을 어떻게 처리했을까? | 조선 생활사 | 화장실의 역사

18,000 parasite eggs in 1 gram of soil. This was the reality of this land just 150 years ago. An era without toilet paper, sewers, or even toilets. How did the people of Joseon deal with the daily outpouring of feces? From commoners who wiped with stones to the king's plum blossom-shaped toilet paper, finished with silk. And even the state-of-the-art system from 150 years ago, discovered in 2021 beneath Gyeongbokgung Palace, which operates on the same principles as modern septic tanks. Witness the moment the prejudice that "Joseon was filthy" is overturned. ⏱️ Timeline 00:00 Intro 01:15 Stones, rice straw, pumpkin leaves, side pillars 04:42 Jeju pigsty, plum blossom frame, brass chamber pot 11:15 The Hanyang sewage crisis and records of foreigners who visited Joseon 17:30 Gyeongbokgung Palace septic tank vs. Versailles 20:07 Ending 📚 References Cultural Heritage Administration, National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage in Ganghwa — Report on the Excavation of the East Palace Toilet at Gyeongbokgung Palace (2021) Park Je-ga, Bukhaegui / Park Ji-won, Jehol Diary Isabella Bishop, Korea and Her Neighbors (1897) National Museum of Iksan — Permanent Exhibition of the Wanggung-ri Site Annals of the Joseon Dynasty / Sanlimgyeongje / Gyeongbokgung Yeonggeon Ilgi This video was produced for educational purposes and is based on verified materials.
