There are good mountains, good water, good winds and good moons here; More beautiful things, plus a thousand beautiful words. There are many crazy men and women in the world who are crazy about their dreams. After many infatuations, it was the infatuation of several generations.
These brothels are all over the busy streets and lanes of Nanjing. Their names are Laibin, Re-translation, Qingjiang, Shicheng, heming, Zuixian, Jixian, Acura, Drum Belly, Light Smoke, Light Pink, Meiyan, Liu Cui, Heather and Beishi. There are official prostitutes in them for bureaucrats and literati to guess boxing orders, order songs and enjoy dances.
brothels are so prosperous that they become flashy. At that time, Dajia, as a famous scholar and wealthy businessman, generally had an affair with prostitutes, which became a social atmosphere at that time.
At that time, the clients were roughly divided into the following categories: refined scholar-officials, ordinary clients and simple clients. Prostitutes are also divided into several types: palace prostitutes, camp prostitutes, domestic prostitutes and prostitutes; Geisha is divided into geisha, musical geisha and alcoholic geisha.
Prostitutes are purely seductive, living a life of flesh and blood, without literature, painting and music, not to mention the skills of poetry, music, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, blowing, playing and singing. Now the so-called "miss" is the same.
Many dignitaries indulge in singing, dancing and feasting without asking about state affairs. Some celebrities are addicted to prostitution and entertainment, which makes the rouge of Qinhuai River so thick that it can hardly be melted. Graceful talents with lofty ideals and customs, as well as singers and actresses, have performed many unforgettable love stories and had sentimental human tragedies.
no wonder some people say that "loyal ministers are not as good as rebellious ministers, and celebrities are not as good as prostitutes" in the Ming dynasty. The decline and preference of the literati class also objectively aggravated the prosperity of brothels. In the middle and late Ming dynasty, flower lists were also very popular.
The roster rose in Song Dynasty, which was rare in Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, but it became popular again after the middle of Ming Dynasty. The so-called "flower list" is to evaluate the physical appearance and amorous feelings of prostitutes according to certain standards. This is similar to the current beauty pageant.
Later, The Book of Prostitution, a tool for studying and evaluating prostitutes, became a guide for prostitutes at that time. From this point of view, it is a mainstream culture for Ming people to open brothels. By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there were more and more prostitutes, and there were thousands of prostitutes in the world, even in the hinterland.
With the development of prostitution, the rulers finally felt its corrosion to the social system. This emperor is Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Zhanji, the eldest son of Emperor Renzong of Ming Dynasty, was born in the first year of Wen Jian, and he was a wise monarch with the ability of writing and martial arts.
Zhu Zhanji fights crickets
When Zhu Zhanji proclaimed himself emperor, the national platform was lax, officials became increasingly corrupt and indulgent, and they were arrogant and extravagant all day. In order to save the declining country, in 1429, Zhu Zhanji launched the first large-scale anti-pornography campaign in China.
He ordered the closure of a large number of brothels in Beijing and other big cities, abolished the original official prostitution system and prohibited officials from engaging in prostitution. But there are no restrictions on private prostitution.
The main purpose of Zhu Zhanji's anti-vice campaign at that time was to consolidate the imperial power and prevent officials from being whored, thus making the so-called "parents" image more positive. Therefore, this anti-vice campaign only played a deterrent role for officials, but did not really ban prostitution.
To Zhu Zhanji's surprise, officials also figured out countermeasures against his anti-pornography campaign. According to their official positions, they began to take wives and concubines to solve the problem of sexual demand. It can be seen that the anti-vice of Xuanzong in Ming Dynasty
