salon is a transliteration of French Salon. The original meaning is living room. In the late 17th and 18th centuries, French literati and artists were entertained by aristocratic women and gathered in the living room to talk about literature and art.. Later, it was called "Salon" for writers and artists to meet and talk.

Salon, which means living room in Chinese, was the center of communication, networking and persuasion among famous families and celebrities in the upper class during the Middle Ages in Europe. Within the scope of Salon culture, it is not authoritative people who dominate the prominent dignitaries, or the rich, great thinkers and great writers, but some women. These women played the leading role of Salon culture in Europe from 15th century to 19th century. In any famous Salon, its fame did not come from contemporary celebrities, nor did it need much aristocratic support. It was the only thing that could not be lacked, that is, an outstanding hostess. Therefore, among many Salons, it is a convention that a famous salon often has a very good hostess, such as the wife of a duke or earl. And successfully hosting a Salon can win them social praise, reveal many upper-class figures, and they can even dominate the atmosphere of an era.
