Who invented the toilet?

The first practical toilet was invented by John Harington, a British aristocrat.

A brief history of development:

1596, the British aristocrat John Harington invented the first practical toilet-a wooden toilet seat with a water tank and a flush valve.

1778, the British inventor Joseph Brame improved the design of the toilet, using a three-ball valve to control the water flow in the water tank and the U-bend.

/kloc-in the 20th century, the British government issued a law stipulating that every household must be equipped with an appropriate sewage treatment system, and toilets began to be greatly improved.

186 1 year, British plumber Thomas? Kleppa invented an advanced water-saving flushing system, and waste discharge began to enter a modern period.

1885, thomas tew Weaver obtained the first patent of all-ceramic toilet in Britain, and dozens of improvement patents have been awarded every year since then.

19 14, Qixin Ceramics Factory (the predecessor of Tangshan Ceramics Factory) opened by the British made the first ceramic toilet in China.

The 65438+ toilet became popular in Europe and America in 1960s, and later spread to Japan, South Korea and other Asian countries.

I only saw it in hotels in Beijing in the early 1980s, and now it is also used in toilets in Beijing.
