The first record - on oracle bones - of Chinese bath habits dates back more than 3,000 years, and there is evidence that people used special utensils for bathing during the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC).
The first treatise on bathing was written by an emperor about 1,500 years ago.
In the old times, bathing was taken seriously and was a highly ritualistic affair.
