The role of brothels

Brothel is not a brothel, but a place where gentry pursue freedom and equality under the feudal system, and also a paradise for literary exchange.

Ancient brothels, like hotels today, had many security guards and service personnel besides bosses. The name is not a grand hotel, but a poetic name.

Some women in brothels come because of crimes, some because their relatives have been sold, some come voluntarily, and some come through the draft. Chen Yuanyuan, one of the eight beauties in Qinhuai, was sold to Suzhou Pear Garden by her uncle who valued righteousness over profit. Brothel women generally only sell art, not prostitution.
