If you don’t have any skills in ancient brothels, can you “get started”?

"Pingping has been huddled for more than 13 years, and the cardamom bushes began to bloom in early February. The spring breeze blowing ten miles across the national road is not as good as rolling a bead curtain."

Many people do not like Du Mu's poems. strangeness. The "protagonist" in the poem is a prostitute with a history of more than thirteen years.

In fact, it is not uncommon for literati to write similar poems in history. However, in the eyes of today's people, this industry is too backward. How can so many people "join"?

Now let’s talk about this profession in detail.

In fact, the previous romantic occasion was more like a comprehensive entertainment venue. Playing ditties and counterpoems are basic skills. Of course, this is the standard for high-end brothels. I almost had to accompany "tea" and I almost got to the point.

Why were the “Eight Hutongs” so famous in the late Qing Dynasty? It is because most of the brothels here are of high standards, and the worst ones will be ranked second class. Since the service content is superior, it will naturally be reflected in its "name".

Originally, the second-class brothel was called "China Place", and later it was called "Tea Room". A first-class brothel is naturally a "big place". In the Ming Dynasty, it was called a "palace". The remaining "third-class" and "fourth-class" names express contempt, that is, "low-level" and "small places."

The names in them are much more elegant, but they are divided into four grades, from high to low, they are "" ("all things"), "Yu" ("Chang San"), " "Yaoer" (the brand should be "Tang") and "Hua."

In fact, the advantage of this classification is that it is convenient for everyone.

If you need it, you can tell whether it suits you. requirements. For the government, it is more conducive to management and tax collection. Each "name" will naturally have a corresponding place decoration, and these high-end "big places" will also tidy up their bricks like big families. Carvings, plaques, couplets, etc. can only be regarded as ordinary things.

In the era when there were no electric lights, there were oil lamps or steam lamps in front of the door. In the late Qing Dynasty, when electric lamps were available, they were replaced. After all, they do business "at night". As for the furnishings in the room, there are everything from Chinese mahogany furniture to Western style Simmons.

The key is the overall "atmosphere" of the room, like Shanghai, which is first-class. The "bookstore" is naturally indispensable for the famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.

However, what is more "emotional" is the prostitutes. For example, their housekeeping skills sang ditty in Shanghai at that time. The most commonly heard ditties are "Lu Hui", "Si Fan", "Chang Pavilion" or "Becoming a Butterfly". As you can imagine, the surrounding houses are filled with furniture and utensils that enhance the atmosphere, and there is a young man next to him. The woman uttered a soft sound, she must have been homeless for a long time.

Maybe everyone thought it was nothing, so they just sang a song and asked a master to teach them. In fact, this industry is very important to "sex, fragrance". It's very particular, and of course I don't think about "eating". You know, no matter what workplace, there can be a 369 class, the first is the appearance.

If these are met, it can only be said that the basic threshold has been passed and more rigorous training is required. In short, it is how to "meet" the needs of the market, such as singing, poetry, and painting. These skills are a test. Not everyone can master the talent.

The next step is tea tasting, which is much simpler and naturally less valuable.

Perhaps this is what ancient literati or officials liked. The reason for the brothel. In fact, many times, they feel that they can find "self-knowledge" here, chat about Liu Yong, appreciate calligraphy and painting together, and discuss "Mingqian Tea" together. Of course, it is more about finding a different way to relax. < /p>

At that time, there were many prostitutes from the south in Bada Hutong, among which the "Jinhua Class" was the first southern class here. It is said that when Sai Jinhua opened classes in the south, she hung a medal with the words "Nan" engraved on it. There is a bronze medal with the words "Ban Jinhua Academy" on it, and the door is full of gold flowers and colorful balls. Since then, more southern greasers have come here to take root.

"Xin Niang has been good at singing and dancing since she was a child, and she has been diligent in All good. ”

''Jia Niang held a cluster of flower buds and sang a new vocal group.''

If you understand the development trend of this industry, then why is the first card certain? It’s not strange to have a skill. In fact, the ancients were very good at entertaining themselves. There used to be a place called Jiaofang that specialized in training women in singing and dancing. In the Ming Dynasty, the industry was further liberalized.

In the competitive atmosphere, many "understanding" prostitutes emerged.

However, no social phenomenon is separate. At that time, arranged marriages affected the communication between couples to a certain extent, and these well-trained prostitutes responded to the needs of a certain group by virtue of their own expertise.

However, those skills are just for "please". In this regard, someone raised the question, prostitutes can do whatever they want when they are young, but what should they do when they are old? There are four answers: salvation, pimping, becoming a monk, and dying alone. It can be seen that the prostitute's appearance cannot stop her inner loneliness.

In fact, in that era when men were superior to women, becoming a brothel girl was a last resort. If given a choice, who would choose to live like this? Therefore, as long as you live, you will have a lot of helplessness!
