tobacco advertising in Ming and Qing dynasties

text advertising is one of the main forms of advertising in Ming and Qing dynasties. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the government encouraged production and adopted an open policy, and foreign economic and cultural exchanges became increasingly frequent. The Confucian thought of valuing righteousness over profit and neglecting the end was hit, and the literati and officialdom took the lead in writing word advertisements such as signboard advertisements, couplet advertisements and slogan advertisements for merchants.

Li Guangting, a Qing dynasty man, said in "Explaining Yi in the Countryside" that the words "smoking" were often pasted on the cigarette boards, which described the situation when smoking in visual language.

In addition, some literati, who are fond of smoking, often write poems about smoking. For example, Zhao Yi, a historian and poet in the Qing Dynasty, wrote "Chanting about Eating a Smoke": the taste of light bar is not salty and sour, but it is difficult to make acacia. How can a fairy learn to suck clouds? It turns people black. Spray floating silver tube incense to drive away filth, warm into dantian gas to avoid the cold. Mr. Win praises the old man's health, and looks on with horror at the tip of his nose. Although such poems are not special tobacco advertisements, their effects on tobacco communication are not weaker than those of special tobacco advertisements.
