Renovation is a thing that compromises ten thousand times.
When I didn't buy a house, I always envied those people in film and television works, and the heroine always looked like she was enjoying herself when she was lying in the bathtub, and she was chasing a drama, and that sense of picture came immediately.
Especially in the summer, take a bath, close the curtain, relax the whole body, and take a good rest, there is a sense of comfort and déjà vu of an outdoor hot spring.
If there is a bathtub, it is "personal time" not to be disturbed.
Think about it, a worker who is tired from a day of work, has back pain, leg cramps, soaks in water, and lets the water pressure on the body, you can really feel that the fatigue of the whole body has dissipated.
In the past, why did more than 95% of Chinese families choose to install bathtubs?
Why Chinese homes basically don't use bathtubs
This question is like the heroine in Yasunari Kawabata's "Snow Country", leaning her head against the train window, and the window reflects the heroine's face, blending with the snow-capped mountains outside the window, and the beautiful picture is full of sense. But some people who studied or traveled in Japan thought of this and experienced it for themselves, and as a result, they all scolded Yasunari Kawabata.
Because the heroine is leaning against the bus window beautifully, but in fact her head will be buzzed. It's like soaking in a bathtub that is comfortable, but it doesn't fit the actual situation of ordinary people's economic income. Right.
Netizen A said that when the house was just renovated, I couldn't wait to try the feeling of the heroine in the film and television works, relax and take a milk rose bath, and pair it with a glass of red wine. But if you don't turn on the bath bomb, the light in the bathroom is too dark, and when you turn on the bath bomb, reading books and watching dramas, it is very dazzling, and it doesn't take long for me to feel that my body is oiled.
Let's talk about the angle of the bathtub, lie down completely and have your back against the bathtub, you can almost only look up at the ceiling, but you can't read books and dramas, sit up and your back is empty, and your body is always sliding down, not to mention the water discharge before and after bathing and the cleaning of the bathtub.
Netizen B said that after washing it once, you will know that people who are a little clean-minded may not be able to stand it. The bathtub is a thing that needs to be washed once before putting water, and it has to be washed once after taking a bath, which can be described as a doubtful life.
I'm here to enjoy, not to be a cleaner. At first, I thought it was because I was using it in the wrong way, and I should rinse it off outside before going in the bath. The fact is that the thief who washes it outside is clean, and the skin will be soaked after soaking for a long time, especially in winter, and a gentle rub is a large amount of dead skin, which is attached to the bathtub and is very difficult to wash.
But if you have soaked your feet in a basin, you will know what the state of the basin wall after soaking your feet, not to mention the bathtub, after washing and rubbing outside the bathtub and then going in the bath, there is relatively little grease and dandruff, and it is easier to clean.
Netizen C said that I only realized the freedom of showering when I went to college, and now I bought the house bathroom just to be able to turn around, but some people on the Internet asked because they only saw that the bathtub was not expensive, but they did not think about how expensive the bathroom with the bathtub was, and how expensive the house with such a big bathroom was.
A bathtub covers an area of 2 square meters, and the first-tier cities are counted as 50,000 square meters, and buying a bathtub of several thousand yuan will cover an area of 100,000 yuan, and 2 square meters spend 100,000 yuan to put a bathtub? You can go to the bath to soak in the sea until the sea is rotten, how can you give it up?
。 Rich people don't care about the 100,000 whys of ordinary people at all. For ordinary people, the money in the trouser pocket is cleaner than the face, and a bathtub of several thousand yuan may involve money, water, electricity, space, and difficult to clean.
Netizen D said that our family used a very expensive bathtub before, in order to avoid the boredom of bathing, we equipped a TV opposite the bathtub, and in order to control the light at will, we made a lighting control, which added up to tens of thousands of yuan.
, a bathtub full of water, quite a large volume. In fact, it's not that I'm afraid of wasting money, it's much more expensive to buy some food than that tank of water, but when I see such a large volume of water, it still looks clear after taking a bath, so I let it go in vain, and I can't get over it psychologically.
The water conservation education as a child was quite successful! I used it to flush the toilet, but I found that I couldn't use it at all. Nowadays, most of the hot spring hotels are fake hot springs, that is, boiler rooms just boil hot water.
It takes me 10 minutes to take a shower, but 30 minutes is fast to brush the bath. I haven't brushed it for a while, and I guess I won't be able to get off in 1 hour after brushing it again. The vast majority of people don't take a bath every day, and the most tiring day or two of the week are soaked before going to bed, relaxing, and not treating themselves badly, of course.
Netizen E said that I don't know what the reason is for others, anyway, I don't like to install a bathtub because of a waste of time. Think about it. After taking a bath, you have to take a bathtub, which is watery and laborious, so it is better to take a shower, pat your ass and leave.
。 Families with bathtubs, there may be nannies or deacons at home, to put it bluntly, or the economic level has not been reached, this is a middle-class certification, just like the domestic young people must buy a car no matter how far they go to work.
How Japan people view bathing
The bath culture and the frequency of daily use are relatively high to see Japan, which can be reflected in some Japanese dramas or Japanese comics, they like baths very much, and it is customary to shower and wash before bathing, and then go in to enjoy the bath.
In Japan, the situation of poor families is like this, and the bathtub has the advantage of heating the water in the tank. Scrub it outside first, and then soak it in the bathtub, which generally won't soak for a long time, and the water is not too dirty.
In my opinion, the Chinese may still not accept the habit of taking turns bathing in a tank of water for a family. If it's a big pool in the bathhouse outside, it may be acceptable for everyone to soak together, but if you want me to finish soaking, my parents will go to soak or my parents will go after soaking, it is impossible, it is very embarrassing and unhygienic. However, it is not a matter of money, the main thing is that this water resource is too wasteful.
A house in Japan, even a house of twenty or thirty square meters, must have a small bathtub, probably right. Anyone who has been to Japan knows that most hotels will give you a small bathtub no matter how small the area is, and if not, then the hotel is most likely a hot spring hotel or has a public bath.
Japan's per capita residential area is estimated to be inferior to China's, and a dozen square meters of small houses can make room for a bathtub, to put it bluntly, there is still no such habit. This shows that the dominant culture shapes ethnic identity, and of course, it can also be the opposite, artificially shaped.
Which people in China like to soak in the bathtub
I've always been curious, about, everyone is arguing, until now there is still no accurate statement. So why is it that most people are so receptive to it?
A small bathtub, clean is actually quite troublesome, unless there is a special maid to do the work of fetching water, otherwise most Chinese will not choose the bathtub bath, in detail, the root cause is that the bathroom at home is too small, no money.
This question can be answered accurately in a mansion. In addition, the more luxurious the house, the larger the size of the bathtub, and the larger the bathtub proves that the comfort is better. It's not that Chinese consumers don't use bathtubs, but the proportion is relatively low, and it is more common in luxury homes and high-end consumers.
The reason for the low proportion of ordinary consumers using bathtubs is nothing more than that they are troublesome to use (preparation and cleaning after use), high cost (large water consumption, high cost of heating hot water), and poor use experience (long water release time) and large space occupation.
But none of this is a problem for high-end consumers. After all, our country is developing so fast, every family has hot water, that is, the matter of more than 20 years, over time, with the development of the economic level and the change of people's consumption awareness, the proportion of popular use of bathtubs will be higher and higher.
Of course, everyone's financial situation and preference are different, but, as a modern young person, the time is so particular, there is a bathtub at home, never use, but live in a resort hotel like to take a bath.
The essence is that the big bathtub has the experience of bathing, and the small bathtub is completely chicken ribs! But a large bathtub is an unattainable luxury for most families.
As for the expensive water bill, this is 2024, and water is really the cheapest thing, much cheaper than electricity. It's not so much that water is expensive, but that the gas or electricity needed to heat this water is more expensive, right?
A more economical use of a bathtub than a bath is to "store water". Legend has it that in the past, if the faucet was turned on to the smallest and the faucet was dripping all the time, the water meter would not be able to go out of words, and people could slash the wool, but now the water meter is a lot of numbers, and this trick is useless.
Seeing this, do you like bathtub baths? Will you install a bathtub when you renovate your house? Soaking in the bathtub and showering, which way do you prefer?
