Which dynasty is more expensive, the Tang Dynasty or the Song Dynasty?

Although the literati in the Tang and Song Dynasties were frequent visitors to brothels, compared with the Tang Dynasty, the literati in the Song Dynasty obviously patronized brothels a little more, and the demand for famous prostitutes was greater, and the fees would naturally be higher. In addition, the economy of the Song Dynasty was more developed, and the salaries of officials were higher than those of the Tang Dynasty, so the salaries of famous prostitutes who lived on it would naturally be more expensive. In addition, there was an emperor in the Song Dynasty who liked to visit brothels: in Song Huizong, emperors used to call prostitutes online, so the fees for famous prostitutes could be higher.

First, people in the Song Dynasty obviously liked visiting brothels more than people in the Tang Dynasty, so the fees for famous prostitutes will definitely be more expensive. The Tang and Song Dynasties were the peak of China's cultural development. Among the Tang poems, there are 2,500 works involving prostitutes, which are very impressive, but still not as good as those in the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the appearance of brothel women accounted for half of the country, from which it can be inferred that brothel women in the Song Dynasty were obviously more popular than Tang poetry.

Actually, it's true. In the Song Dynasty, a scholar would be laughed at by his colleagues if he didn't have a few prostitutes as his confidants, and the literati in the Song Dynasty often competed for the top spot in brothels, which led to high fees for some famous prostitutes.

Second, the salary level of officials in the Song Dynasty was higher than that of officials in the Tang Dynasty, although we were all called Tang Dynasty? Tang Sheng? However, according to the research of historians, the economic level of the Song Dynasty was obviously higher than that of the Tang Dynasty, so the imperial court of the Song Dynasty paid high salaries to officials. Take Bao Qingtian, which we are most familiar with, as an example. His annual salary can reach 6.5438+0.367 million yuan. Under the high salary of Song officials, prostitutes attached to their business will naturally not charge much less.

Third, the Emperor of Song Dynasty loved visiting brothels. With the platform of the Emperor, the fees of famous prostitutes could not be low. Although several emperors in the past dynasties liked to visit brothels, I'm afraid Song Huizong was the only one who visited brothels. When Song Jiang wanted to please the imperial court, he chose the way of Song Huizong's confidante Li Shishi in the brothel. The emperor called a famous prostitute, and the famous prostitute naturally dared to pay a high price.
