In ancient times, why did a beautiful woman in a brothel tie a red rope of 1 around her waist?

Nowadays, young girls like to tie a red rope around their ankles or waist to show their good wishes for marriage. But prostitutes in ancient times often tied a red rope around their waist, but the reason why they did so was not that simple, and there were their little secrets hidden in it.

Women in ancient brothels were all born with bad karma, but they were sold into brothels and became commodities that anyone chose at will. Although they can't control their own destiny, they are still full of longing for the future, and the red rope tied around their waist is their best proof. There are three main reasons why women in ancient brothels wore red ropes around their waists.

First of all, the red rope around their waist became their last fig leaf. A small red rope is their last bottom line, which means they are not naked. Wearing a red rope around this waist has become the custom of these prostitutes, representing that they are defending their last dignity.

The second is the role of exorcism. In ancient times, red had the functions of exorcism and protection. The red rope around their waist pinned their good wishes to get rid of diseases, evil spirits and bad things. Therefore, a thin red rope tied around their waist has become their amulet, giving them spiritual comfort.

The third is to pray for marriage and redemption. Prostitutes in ancient times were forced to become prostitutes because of bad karma. Ancient brothel women such as Li Shishi, Liu, Du Shiniang, Chen Yuanyuan and others all hoped to find someone who loved them and save themselves from their pain. In the tradition of China, the marriage between men and women of Yue veteran was tied with red lines, which became the keepsake for the ancients to pray for marriage. Therefore, women in ancient brothels also tied a red line around their waist, hoping that their Mr. Right would come to rescue them with colorful auspicious clouds.

In a word, this root system is of great significance in the thin red rope around the waist of ancient brothel women, which should not be underestimated. Brothel women are also human beings, with dignity and expectations and longings for a better life. What do you say, guys?

Tie a red rope around the waist, which means to ward off evil spirits. Brothel is a complicated place. People come and go, and evil spirits are very strong. Tie a red rope, which means your day is smooth, business is good, guests are not picky, and bad luck is far away. This still makes sense.

In addition, it is said that you wear a red rope when you go to sea. Go to the sea to receive guests and tie a red rope around your waist. I hope the guests will be kind to themselves, cut off part of their hair when they go ashore, and swear to make a clean break with their past selves. From then on, they will have sex with Ailang, share joys and sorrows, and strive to live a good life now.

When some new people get married in rural areas, girls will tie a red rope to boys, but it is tied to their hands. This red rope plays the role of avoiding evil spirits at this time. I hope the young couple will have a smooth life, have children early and love each other. There is no mistake. Tie a red rope, and two people are tied to a rope. I hope to be together all my life, never break up, stay together all my life and have a perfect love. Take your hand and come with me.

In fact, none of the prostitutes came here voluntarily to sell their bodies for a living. They have their own misfortunes. They were forced into prostitution by the environment at that time, and their families were poor. They were sold to brothels by their parents who could not survive. Some of them became prostitutes at the age of 12 or 13, and for a long time, they became sick. The status of ancient women was low. In the boundless sea of suffering, there is still a glimmer of hope in their hearts, a bright hope for future life and love. From then on, I lived a life with true feelings and true love. Du Shiniang, an ancient celebrity, lived with young Jia for three years. Finally, Li paid the money. Du Shiniang fantasized and took one hundred and fifty-two. Li Jia borrowed 1,520 from a friend and redeemed Du Shiniang's prostitution contract, totaling 3,200. It should have gone out and lived a happy life. Things didn't do well, angel lee didn't take responsibility, but made Du Shiniang.

Brothel women are still very sensitive, and they feel inferior when they come out. They are afraid that they can't live independently without their lover.

The ancient brothel woman tied a red rope around her waist, which was much more meaningful according to her own wishes, that is, with a glimmer of hope for life, her heart was sunny.

In ancient times, prostitutes were not only despised by outsiders, but also unwilling to talk about their identity. Many prostitutes changed their names and surnames when they were old and faded, or saved money to be redeemed for themselves. They live in seclusion and don't want to see the people of the past again, and they don't want to think about those things. It's really pathetic.

It is not a rumor that a beautiful woman in a brothel will tie a red rope around her waist, but this red rope will not only be tied around her waist, but many prostitutes will also tie it to her bare feet.

First of all,

Although she is a prostitute, she still has personal dignity in her bones, and even pays more attention to her dignity than others. Because they are willing to work, they have to give in and exchange their beauty for money. When they are naked in front of customers, they will leave red ropes to comfort themselves, and some of them are still clean.

Second,

Tie a red rope around the waist or ankle, which is called waist chain or ankle chain, which is homophonic "nostalgia". Although she is a prostitute, she has to face all kinds of men every day. In ancient times, hygiene could not be guaranteed. They also look down on doctors and are seriously ill, so they are likely to be mercilessly abandoned by pimps. They can only use this method to gain goodwill, hoping to avoid evil and unlucky, similar to asking God for advice. It's good to hope more.

Third,

As we all know, in mythology, it is Yue Lao who is responsible for finding the love of marriage and using red rope to fix and promote marriage. Therefore, the ancient concept of red rope is often marriage. Although the brothel woman is not clean, she still has illusions, hoping to have a sincere person who can ignore his past and be willing to redeem herself. Red rope is better than nothing, but it's just a beautiful dream.

Proud as a peacock, dressing beautifully is a male patent, attracting ugly female peacocks there; The most beautiful thing in the coat of red cockscomb and chicken coop must be the rooster. ...

Humans, on the other hand, have a concave-convex love, exquisite and beautiful figure, and most of them are women. Colorful, wearing red and green, this is a girl's favorite, who stipulates that it must be a brothel woman? As for why the women in brothels wear red ropes, I believe that such a bridge in film and television dramas is estimated to be familiar to everyone.

Kiichi: Don't worry, brother. From now on, your parents are my parents and your son is my son. If his next sentence is that your wife is my wife, it is estimated that the brotherhood who is leaving will jump up desperately at once.

Bridge 2: The ancients had a heroic style, and men liked to talk about women together. On this day, Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan, two geniuses, were drinking. Lao Tang said that today, your wife wore a red Chinese-style chest covering. Guess what color my wife is wearing? Zhu Zhishan reaction of brain patch ...

Haha, talking about a friend's wife is to draw a sword to meet each other, and talking about an innocent daughter is the chastity of a bad person, and it is also a black stick.

Only prostitutes can talk about it. As the saying goes, "A pair of pillows on a jade arm, a thousand people taste a little lip", we have always been honest and found that most prostitutes love to decorate red ropes. In fact, I know my wife loves it, but it will only be hidden in my heart to steal joy, and fools will make public.

The red rope is beautiful to ward off evil spirits, and it is tied with love ... it is not surprising that my daughter loves to decorate the red rope.

As for the red rope tied around the waist, it represents the final bottom line, not so naked, pure nonsense. What men are good at is what they try to break the bottom line. There is such a moral that the red rope is more interesting than anything else.

correct

In ancient feudal superstitious society, brothels can be said to be a favorite industry from the emperor down to ordinary people. Wherever they go, there will be some brothels. Most women in brothels are forced by some kind of life, some are voluntary (lifelong), some are abducted by traffickers, and some are rich girls who are proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting.

When you often watch TV dramas in costume, there are pictures of brothels, that is, between the gestures of ancient brothel women, you will find that their hands or feet, and more importantly, their waist, are often tied with a redder cloth rope. Later, the author deliberately checked the information and realized that these are all exquisite. Let's see why:

Generally, red stands for "good luck", "blessing", "keeping safe" and so on. (including our custom, if you have a baby, you must wrap it in red cloth to show safety and health. ) So the red cloth rope represents the freedom of prostitutes in brothels for health and beauty. They are engaged in the most special occupation, and their social status is very low (I'm not talking about official prostitutes, and people without official positions don't want to see others), so they can't get the respect of people at that time, but we are human beings and we also have feelings. Who wants to do this job under pressure? Even if they have to do this because of necessity, they want to get the minimum respect from people's hearts.

So anyway, these prostitutes will tie a red cloth rope around their waist or feet as their last bottom line, which means I'm not naked. (Imagine) such a move has gradually become a special custom among ancient brothel women, representing that they are maintaining this place and their last dignity.

There is also a saying that has been handed down, because as long as it is a brothel woman, it will certainly receive guests coming and going. In ancient times and now, red has always represented cheerful and festive colors. Whether married or top students in high school, they all like to celebrate with red. In addition, red can also ward off evil spirits, so they will wear a waist rope to prevent some unlucky men from bringing you bad luck.

There is another reason, after all, ancient and modern medical facilities are too poor. In such a backward situation in ancient times, once infected with the disease, it is generally enough to be gentle, and the key is only to wait for death. Women's life and health will be threatened, so they will wear red cloth ropes and pray that they will not get sick and stay healthy all the time.

Of course, it can also be said that there are no prostitutes who don't want to be good. Everyone hopes to have a rich generation or a rich second generation to help them redeem themselves, because ancient brothels are a romantic place, and everyone goes in for a cup of Huasan. Basically, they all took part in the show (there may be some romantic figures like Li Bai who only like to drink Huasan), and there was almost no real feeling, but the social status of prostitutes at that time was extremely low. The money they earn every day is basically taken away by keepsakes, and they don't have any savings. They can only pin their hopes on those who are looking for flowers and asking for willows, hoping that someone can help them redeem themselves, because they secretly love themselves and tie red cloth ropes or anklets around their waist and feet, which is homophonic, meaning that they hope to meet a guest who really likes them and get well soon.

In any case, the ancient brothel woman tied a red cloth rope around her waist mainly to safeguard her final dignity, hoping that she would not catch any diseases, pray for good health, and hope that she would recover soon and find a happy and beautiful home. I remember a few years ago, many girls liked to tie a red waist rope around their waist. Will you tie it when you see it? It is best not to blindly follow the trend, but to have a basic understanding of history.

First, the Han Dynasty's embrace of the belly and the heart.

Second, Wei and Jin Dynasties

Third, terminalia chebula in Tang Dynasty

Fourth, the top of the tube in Song Dynasty.

Fifth, silk lapels in Yuan Dynasty.

Sixth, the main waist in Ming Dynasty

Seven, Chinese-style chest covering in Qing Dynasty

The Chinese-style chest covering turned red, and then it became,

Brothel, blue building, exquisite house. Most beautiful women are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, singing and dancing! The most important thing is that they don't sell themselves, commonly known as leisure people.

Brothels are not open to everyone, first of all, money, then culture, and finally a little breath. High-end romantic place!

Of course, if you can write poetry, you can also enter the literati. Brothel women add a lot of charm to Tang poetry and Song poetry! Ordinary poems can be sung!

Sad and sad, the pavilion was late and the shower began to rest. ...

This is Liu Yong's Yulin Chills, and Liu Yong's ci is very popular with prostitutes. When Liu Yong died, they raised money for burial. Every time they go to Tomb-Sweeping Day, they meet to visit the grave and "Liu Hangqi"!

Brothel women often walk the world of mortals, where not to wet their clothes? The red rope around the waist is just a constant red warning line, telling yourself to stick to the bottom line. Crazy love, especially so!

Red rope in the sea is good at breaking green silk.

Forced into the world of mortals, with a red rope hanging around his waist, mumbling to remind him that if he is good, he will break up!

My hometown is in the countryside, and suona was popular in the countryside a few years ago. There is also a vulgar performance, which many people must know. At that time, when the suona class was performing, I once saw a "young woman" put her coat at the waist position, just showing her navel.

Because the performances in those years were vulgar, the content was good. However, when I saw a "girl" with a red rope around her waist, I wondered why she had to wear a red rope around her waist. Is it because this is a funeral that we should avoid evil spirits?

Asked the buddy next to him, he smiled and said, "Why do you care so much? Just watch. I'll show you later. You will know when the time comes. " Although this buddy went in later and we never met again, the matter of the red rope has been lingering in my mind.

Until a few years ago, I went to Dongguan to work and walked on the street. Neon lights flashed in the distance, and I drank some wine that day. I can't even walk steadily under the influence of alcohol. Fortunately, there are neon lights on the roadside, and finally no dogs eat shit.

Suddenly a "young girl" came out of the alley next to her, and her perfume was pungent. And I knew it was inferior perfume when I smelled it, which made me half asleep. I rubbed my eyes and saw the bearer clearly.

I can't get the rouge off my face. I don't know if I was in my twenties or forties, but it was also because it was summer and it was a little hot here in Dongguan. I am a sweaty little guy, and this "girl" is probably not cool, otherwise I wouldn't send my coat to my belly button.

I thought it was a passer-by, so I went straight ahead until I was about to hit it head-on. Suddenly, she grabbed me, and I woke up, all in spirit. She seems to be an old friend I haven't seen for years, and she enthusiastically asks me where to go.

I staggered back a few steps and the girl followed me again. I've never seen such a scene, I just know to back off. After pulling a few times, the two finally got a little distance. I dared to ask, what do you have?

That "girl" didn't panic at all, as if she were teasing me. "What can I do, is to see if the young man is drunk, afraid that you are in danger and want to take care of you. You look like a foreigner. I don't know how many young people I have met like you. "

I just graduated from junior college and came to work in Dongguan. I haven't found a job for half a month. I don't have much money left, because I'm too stressed to go to a nearby bar for a drink.

At that time, it was at the end of its tether, and the rent, water and electricity, and life had all been spent. There are only a few hundred dollars left on me, and I want to stick to it for a few more days to see what work to do first.

When I met such a warm-hearted girl, my affection doubled at that time. But at first glance, there was something wrong with the clothes, so I sent my coat to my belly button without saying anything. I have a red rope tied around my waist. At that time, the suona performance in my hometown flashed in my mind.

Is this girl performing suona? Or is it not clean around here? In short, I didn't delve into it, but before I went out, my family told me, "You should pay more attention to everything. There is no such thing as a free lunch."

It seems that this girl is a little overzealous, saying that Dongguan is a mess, especially that kind of business, right? Running out to solicit customers? I feel a little sick at the thought of here. After all, I'm a bit of a neat freak.

I can only hurry away and say, "Sister, no need, my home is just ahead, and my other half is still waiting for me at home." . Then I trotted up, but the "sister" didn't chase me. She just shouted at my back, "Come and play with my sister when you are free." I don't remember the rest clearly, after all, it's far away.

Later, I met more people and gradually became a little enlightened. In fact, after working in Dongguan for several years, I met a "mother", and I later learned what the occasion was. But for the red rope, I've been thinking.

So I asked the well-informed "mother" why there was a red rope around her waist? At that time, the "mother" teased me: "Yo, I can't see that your boy is hiding deeply and doesn't take care of my business here."

I just laughed without saying a word. After all, if it really started, it would never end. However, this "mother" also puzzled me. In fact, this is a "amulet". People who are "us" sometimes have to be superstitious.

Basically, everyone has a little "faith", some may be pendants, some may be runes, and some may be red ropes.

The first is to protect yourself from bursting, the second is to protect yourself from pregnancy, the third is to protect your waist, and the fourth is not to get sick.

This is superstition, otherwise the red rope is just a simple rope, so don't study it. )

After many years, I left Dongguan. I heard that "mom" went in soon, and we lost contact. Until now, I have become a history editor, and I have seen this topic again, which is very touching.

The red rope has appeared in history and now. Do these two red ropes have different meanings? I looked up a lot of information and finally found something different. Superstition is definitely there, but it is also for marriage.

Why do you say that? Because in ancient times, I believed in Yue Lao, and Yue Lao was most famous for the red rope on his hand. Most prostitutes are from poor families, and everyone hopes to be redeemed as soon as possible one day. Trying to make money for "mom" is one way, and meeting good people is another.

It's hard to walk ahead, after all, I don't know when I can save enough money. The back is better. All prostitutes want a lover day and night. As long as you like, untie the red rope around your waist and give it to him. As long as he is willing to take it, it means it is done.

Wait a few days by yourself, and he may send someone to pick him up. Besides, it is the last fig leaf. After all, this kind of activity is really despised. Some "shy" girls send this with red rope.

As long as it is still there, it means that you are still wearing clothes. When it is redeemed, it can be untied. But through the ages, how many people can really understand? Many people even took it off and sent it back soon.

There's nothing there!

A special literature search was conducted.

I haven't seen any literature, and all the records say that a brothel woman wears a red line around her waist.

I am afraid this is also a hobby of individual women, not a traditional custom.

I searched online and found a lot.

Its theoretical basis is that "the sea is tied with a red rope, and it is good to break the moss."

This is even less evidence. The word "going to the sea" never meant entering a brothel in ancient Chinese. Even if going to sea is related to doing business, it will be after the reform and opening up.

In the past, going to sea was going to sea, but in the Republic of China, there was a new usage, that is, amateur singers became professional singers.

Such a completely unreasonable statement is regarded as a treasure by many people, which is used to demonstrate that a brothel woman wears a red rope around her waist, and she also solemnly said a lot of waist ropes, which may tie not only a brothel woman, but also a good woman.

But I have no proof that this rope is red.

Because this red rope is tied to a woman's obscene clothes.

Women's underwear in the Han dynasty is called hugging the abdomen, also called heart clothes. It's roughly shaped like this:

Pure in the body is like this:

In the Tang dynasty, the upper belt was cancelled, leaving only the belt. This is called "terminalia chebula", which means wiping the chest. It will probably look like this when put on, but it should not deliberately squeeze out a ditch.

The atmosphere in the Song Dynasty was not so tough, so underwear should have the habit of closing breasts.

The upper part should cover the chest and the lower part should cover the stomach, so the belt was restored at this time.

It was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that there was travel. In fact, it is almost the same as that of the Han Dynasty.

It's just a diamond.

It looks like this:

Or like this:

Watch the tape.

I guess many people regard this as a belt. Why do you remember the brothel woman if you want to wear underwear?

Nonsense.

Tv dramas often take off their clothes, and most of them are prostitutes who show their underwear.

Speaking of prostitutes, there are many famous talented women in the history of China, such as Dong Xiaowan, Liu, Du Shiniang, Chen Yuanyuan and so on. Ancient brothels were not what we thought, because some prostitutes only entertained and did not sell themselves. They are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, as good as men.

However, there is a problem that I don't know if you have found out, that is, the ancient brothel woman tied a red rope around her waist. It looks fashionable now, but was there such a truth in ancient times? In fact, there are three reasons why a brothel woman wears a red rope around her waist, but now it seems really distressing.

The status of ancient women was very low, not to mention the women in brothels had no dignity at all. For them, as long as they have money, they have to do it even if they have no self-esteem. Brothel women wear a red rope around their waist, and psychologically think it is the last fig leaf on them. This red rope around their waist is their last bottom line and their last trace of dignity. It has gradually become a custom for brothel women to wear red ropes around their waists.

In ancient times, people thought that red could ward off evil spirits. Brothel women have a rough life, and all they meet are men who are hypocritical and covetous of beauty, without the care of their families and a sincere man. The red rope around her waist holds her good wishes for life. At the same time, it also has the function of expelling diseases and evil spirits. So the red rope around the waist becomes an amulet, which can give you some physical and mental comfort.

The legendary Yue Lao is in charge of marriage. He used a red line to match men and women. Therefore, in ancient times, people thought that the red rope was the best token for women to pray for marriage. Women in brothels have a hard time and become prostitutes for various reasons. They also hope to find their true love and hope that someone can help them get redemption. In the history, Li Shishi, Du Shiniang, Chen Yuanyuan and others all found people who liked themselves at the same time, thus getting rid of this trouble point.

There is an old saying: "The red rope in the sea is broken." It is a true portrayal of a brothel woman, reduced to a brothel and living by color. When their clothes fade, they don't want to be naked. Although I can't control myself, I can only daydream about my tragic fate or pin my hopes on it! When they got rid of brothels and became virtuous, they cut the red line around their waist and lived a normal life.

It used to be very useful and sexy for prostitutes to tie a red line around their stomachs. When men see red, they will soon vent. Then a prostitute receives customers a day 100. Why did women's life in the past be very bright, that is, there were more men, and sperm was at work, which was the nourishment of masculinity and femininity? Look at the current champion Liu Yaoqing, how many virgins she has eaten. Under the cover of a hair salon, she is over 70 years old and around 30 years old. Why in the past, there were so many prostitutes now, in order to stay young forever?
