Do you know what the brothel was like in the Song Dynasty?

Haha, see your loved ones again! Hello, everyone, I am a small series that everyone loves-Mingyuan! Let's take a look at the hot materials I brought to you today!

Brothels in the Song Dynasty probably followed the Tang system, including official prostitutes, camp prostitutes and city prostitutes. The official prostitute in Shi Jing was born in Jiao Fang, and the local prostitute belongs to the jurisdiction of the county and is named "Le Hu". The system will change slightly in the future. "Dream of Liang Lu" says: "During the Shaoxing period, the name of Jiaofang was abolished. In case of court meetings, holy festivals, and the arrangement and guidance of the command, the musicians in front of Lin' an House dialed it, which belongs to the name of Xiunei Division for the supply of the command. "

Camp prostitutes, it is said, originated from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, "used to reward unmarried soldiers." There were prostitutes in the Tang and Five Dynasties. By the Song Dynasty, prostitutes' clients had expanded beyond the military camp, and the records of prostitutes by local officials in the notes of the Song Dynasty were vivid.

The geisha industry in the Song Dynasty was very prosperous, and there must be a prostitute's residence in the city. Kaifeng, Tokyo "has a flower array wine pool, a fragrant hill medicine sea, secluded places, cold alleys, countless pavilions, and I don't want to be complicated." The "Yan Guan attic" here is a brothel. It has been calculated that in the dream of China in Tokyo, 19 times mentioned brothels inside and outside Tokyo.

It is inevitable that there are some vague transactions in these brothels, but the demand shows that ancient brothels are not equal to "red light districts", prostitutes are not equal to sex workers, and the annotation that makes things difficult for prostitutes in exegetics refers to "female music". In other words, the services provided by prostitutes are music, singing and dancing, folk art, not physical. Of course, there are prostitutes who provide sexual services.

So what was the brothel like in Song Dynasty? Many people may immediately think of the image of a brothel: ornate hotel-style buildings, red lanterns decorated with vague colors, and the words "Hongyiyuan" or "Li Chunyuan" written on their foreheads. As soon as the guest entered, the turtle slave immediately greeted him: "Guest officer, please come in." "Girls, we have guests," shouted the tortoise woman. This is the attitude of advocating the old in ancient times that we saw in film and television works.

However, prostitutes in the Song Dynasty were by no means so gaudy. Although the hotel in Song Cheng looks a bit like a brothel in the movie: "When you enter its door, it's about a hundred steps away from the main corridor. The two corridors of the north and south patios are small pavilions, which are brightly lit at night and take pictures up and down. Hundreds of prostitutes with heavy makeup gathered in the main corridor. On the surface, waiting for the drinker to shout, it looks like a fairy. " However, please note that this is a hotel, not a brothel. These prostitutes are also geisha, mainly drinking, singing, dancing and entertaining with guests, not prostitutes who sell their bodies.

There is a family nearby, facing the lake, with a golden painted fence door and a bunch of thin bamboo in the bamboo column. I don't know what the hall is like. Please clear the door first. I saw three or four people wearing towels coming out, and a girl was seeing me off behind. At the door, she arched her hands twice and said please, but the girl still went in. Qin re-observed, this woman looks beautiful and lovely, unknown, and stay for a long time, the body is numb. He used to be a kind little official, but he didn't know there were fireworks and wondered whose family it was. "In fact, what Qin Zhong saw was a brothel-oriented lady, and the place where guests were received was an elegant house.

The writer's note "Talk about Drunken Weng" describes it like this: Pingkangli in Chang 'an is "the place where prostitutes live". Geisha living here can be divided into three classes. The first category is "the winner among prostitutes", and most of them live in Pingkangli South District. "Living in a spacious hall, there are three or four halls, with many flowers planted before and after, or a small room with a strange stone basin, a history of left and right, and curtains. ? Prostitutes are versatile, talkative, balanced and handled properly. " Such brothels can be used to launch academic salons; With the knowledge and conversation of prostitutes, it is more than enough to be a dialogue guest in an academic salon.

Second-class prostitutes, children of mixed music classes, mostly live in the central area of Pingkangli. They are "good at music and color skills" and have been practicing their musical talents since childhood. "Silk and bamboo orchestral strings, colorful songs, wonderful dances, salty and elegant." Today, it is obviously the level of "female literary youth". Of course, the guests who come to see them will not have a low academic and artistic status. At least they can talk about classics, history, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

More significantly, students in the Song Dynasty not only often made ends meet, but also fought for a prostitute, which was beyond the control of local officials. Dasong Dynasty is a dynasty without foundation. Zhao Kuangyin, wearing a yellow robe, even thought that his descendants would bury his inheritance so thoroughly, even the bloodiness of the Han people. Shouldn't this dynasty, which once even the pillars of the country were trapped in brothels, disappear completely on the stage of history?
