What's the use of chamber pot?

"chamber pot" is a common saying in the southwest of China, and it is the mantra of people in Jialing River Basin. Chamber pot was originally used by men to collect urine on winter nights. Later, it gradually evolved into a swearing language for women to scold men. Correction: chamber pot, potty. Because it is often used at night, it is named. Chamber pot is the product of the times. Few people use chamber pot now. Almost no one does not know that chamber pot is a urinal, but it is not entirely correct to say that chamber pot is a urinal. Chamber pot's correct explanation should be the urinal that receives urine under the covers at night, which is generally used by men of a certain age. . Chamber pot should have originated in the north, because the weather in the north is cold, especially in winter, and the house is very cold. At night, people are very reluctant to get out of bed to pee, and urine will freeze. In the past, when men reached a certain age, they would urinate frequently, especially at night, and they often got up at night, which was very uncomfortable. Of course, age also means status. When a man reaches a certain age, he usually has a certain position in the family and is the head of the family, so he is qualified to pee under the bed. The container used to receive urine is a urinal. Because it is used at night, it is euphemistically called chamber pot. The female body structure has something to do with not using chamber pot. In addition, women are embarrassed to pee under the covers, so few women pee under the covers at night. However, some elderly women urinate under the quilt, and the container where women receive urine under the quilt is usually called a urine turtle instead of a chamber pot. There is a two-part allegorical saying: The old lady didn't have enough urine! Nowadays, men rarely use chamber pot, no matter how old they are. Because living conditions are better now, even in cold winter, the room is warm, so people will never be reluctant to get up and pee because the room is cold. At the same time, the frequency of men peeing now is much less than in the past, so chamber pot has become history. In the past, there were only two things in the north that could sleep in a man's bed, one was a woman and the other was chamber pot. Therefore, men have a soft spot for chamber pot and demand high quality from chamber pot. Chamber pot of rich and powerful people is often gold and silver, but almost copper and iron are rare.
