What is the relationship between the Emperor Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty and the "Eight Hutong" in Beijing?

We all know that Cixi's son, Emperor Tongzhi, died very young. According to the imperial court, it was caused by occasional cold, and many folks said it was caused by frequent visits to the "Eight Hutong". What is the relationship between the Emperor Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty and the "Eight Hutong" in Beijing?

Tongzhi ascended the throne at the age of six and died at the age of 19. It is said that it was because of his visit to eight hutongs. This was recorded in anecdotes, but not in the official history. It is said that the Tongzhi emperor at that time was not caused by the actress Albizia, but by the "xianggong" Albizia. At the time of Emperor Tongzhi, the eight hutongs were a gathering of operas in Liyuan, and there were also some "xianggong" tangzi. If Tongzhi died of syphilis in the eight hutongs, Tongzhi would be an actress.

At that time, women were not allowed to show their faces and men were not allowed to stay in brothels. But there are no rules for male actors. Moreover, the female roles in the eight hutongs are played by beautiful men, which is why so many people come out to meet guests. In the society, this is very popular, and I don't know why these dignitaries have such bad tastes. It may be that women have had enough fun and want to try something different. I don't know.

Eight hutongs, such as Hanjia Hutong, were dominated by "Xianggong" tangzi, which flourished especially in the Daoxian and Xianxian Dynasties. Tell me, it turns out that Tongzhi's disease did not come from women, but from men. So, will this customer pick up other people? So, will the disease spread to others soon? It takes a long time to prevent and treat this disease. Do you think they will be cured?

Although we now say that this disease can be treated, it is better to lead an honest and clean life, otherwise, it will disappear at a young age. What a pity! Do you think Tongzhi's death is a pity?
