An unprecedented catastrophe shrouded over the Chinese Empire ruled by the Yuan Dynasty and Medieval Europe—the Black Death during the 14th century with rapid spread, widespread impact, serious damage to property, and substantial deaths and injuries. In the aftermath of the Black Death, lifestyle changes were made and more sensible bathing habits evolved. In feudal China, Bathing Culture had variously adapted to each dynasty; while its existence in the West was heavily influenced by religion and other factors. In the post-pandemic era, this paper is dedicated to exploring the possible relevance of Bathing Cultures to the Black Death, and to conducting a comparative study of the plague spread in Yuan and Europe and its impact on ethnic Bathing Cultures, reckoning to present informative information to regular prevention and control of the following pandemics.
