On the evening of February 9, the TV series "New World" aired episodes 48 and 49. In the plots of these two episodes, Tian Dan, who was hiding on the floor with Xu Tian, finally showed her greasy hair. Obviously, the Fuhuadao teachers of "New World" also know that Tian Dan in the plot has not bathed and washed his hair for several days, and his hair should indeed be a little greasy.
Since Tian Dan was arrested in Jingshi No.1 Prison, many viewers have raised questions. These days, how can Tian Dan's bathing problem in prison be solved? Obviously, no matter how good the prison conditions were, no prison leader like Jin Hai could take a bath. Obviously, Jingshi No.1 Prison does not provide indoor bathing conditions. In addition, the time point of the plot is the eve of the Spring Festival, and the winter in Peking is very cold.
Since Tian Dan escaped from prison, he has been busy and busy. Although he went to Xu Tian's house and slept all night, he obviously did not take a bath in Xu Tian's house. Among the plot content that has been broadcast, Xu Tian's house obviously does not have the conditions to take a bath in winter. And Jin Hai's family and Dao Meilan's family didn't have this condition for bathing either. Tielin's family even needed a urinal for relief at night, so he had to get up early in the morning to clean the urinal.
In the entire TV series, only the two-story small building in Dongjiaomin Lane is the second-story building with indoor toilet and hot bath. Dongjiaomin Lane, Beiping in the plot time point, has a different meaning. This place is where the consulates of many countries are located. After the Second Opium War in 1860, many countries including Britain, France, the United States, Russia, Japan, Germany and Belgium established their embassies in Dongjiaomin Lane. And on this boundary, the buildings are basically Western-style, and the toilet and the bathroom that can take a hot shower are built together.
Therefore, in "New World", there is a special plot showing Tielin taking a bath in Liu Rusi's bathroom. This is simply Tielin's best yearning for a better life. With 24 hours of hot water, you can take a bath at home. It is still in the winter and the ice and snow outside. Even the small two-story building with Liu Rusi still has heating, so there is no need to build a stove in the room.
You think, at that time the Jinhai family belonged to the rich and could have a stove all day long. Xu Tian's family is also a wealthy family with a "taxi company", so it can make a stove. But in Tielin's house, there is no way to make a stove. Guan Baohui went to her father's place all the time. There was an implicit reason that she didn't have a stove in her home. It was really cold in Beiping in winter.
Therefore, if you understand this, and then come back to see that Tian Dan wants to solve the problem of taking a bath, can there be other places besides going to Liu Rusi's house? In Beiping at that time, it was indeed a big problem for the female families to solve the problem of bathing in winter. If it is summer, you can also wash a pot of water in your yard. In the spring and autumn, getting a pot of hot water in the house was barely acceptable. However, in the winter in Beiping, washing at home is definitely not acceptable.
Therefore, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were public bathhouses in Beijing in winter. Even in the north, the bathhouse culture is one of the important cultural carrier forms, and a large number of entertainment activities are carried out in the bathhouse. At present, many activities that should be criticized are also carried out in the bathhouse. This is the tradition of bathhouses in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, there were no female bathhouses in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
's earliest female bathhouse was opened next to the Bada Hutong in Beiping. At that time, it was the winter of 1916, and it was clear that it had entered the Beiyang period. And the female bathhouse was opened by a working woman in Bada Hutong, named Jin Xiuqing, who might be a relative of Jinhai's family. Jin Xiuqing's original intention of opening the women's bathhouse was to solve the winter bathing problem for female employees in Bada Hutong. Therefore, the women's bathhouse at this time is still not open to serious women's relatives.
The true female bathhouse in Beiping was opened in 1929. Peking is on the west side of Wangfujing Street. There is a bathhouse named Dongxingyuan Bath, which was renamed Tsinghua Garden in 1917. Later, because of the fairy spirit of Tsinghua University, this bathhouse in Tsinghua Park also became famous. And Tsinghua Park did not have a female bathhouse earlierIn 1929, the women’s bathhouse was opened.
And this bathhouse is also divided into grades, Guantangzi, Basin Tangzi and Chitangzi. The three distributions are different levels of consumption and gradually become civilians. The official hall has everything, you want to go, the main thing is not to take a bath. The basin, there is a single room, a big bathtub, like Liu Rusi's. Chitangzi is just a big pool with a lot of people washing, which is what Guo Degang joked and Yu Qian's father washes.
For Tian Dan, in Peking, which had not yet begun the spring of 1949, if you want to take a bath, you should come out of Liu Rusi’s house, walk north, cross a big road, go straight to Wangfujing, find Tsinghua Garden, wash basin, is undoubtedly the best The right choice. Things like Da Yingzi, Dao Meilan, Guan Baohui, etc., are actually more suitable for washing pots.
And these female relatives, if they have a good relationship with Tielin, in fact, Tielin can take them to take a bath in Bada Hutong Xiaobao. In "New World", Xiaobao is the number one card in Bada Hutong, and he must know the female bathhouse on his land.
