After losing the capital of busking and prostitution, some prostitutes become nuns just to get a place to live. There are also some prostitutes who are eager to leave the brothel and get married well. They spend their hard-earned money on men, but they are cheated and abandoned, so they see through the world of mortals and are willing to become monks all their lives.
After all, geisha and erotic prostitutes are young and beautiful, and their outstanding color skills are the capital to please men, so their destination is roughly the same.
First, a few famous prostitutes who are learned and have various artistic colors have become your ladies after being loved by the nobles. Some of them met when the nouveau riche were studying hard to catch the exam, and they loved each other and helped each other with money. Once the Bachelor of Literati wins the prize of a juren, a scholar and a champion, she will be redeemed from the brothel with a large sum of money and taken home as a concubine. There are also some senior brothel women who meet celebrities, and they are deeply committed to each other, squeezing through the crowd and getting married. For example, a beginner in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Mao Xiang, wrote "Mei Ying 'an's Memories" after the death of his favorite concubine Dong Xiaowan, describing his combination with Dong Xiaowan. When Mao Xiang met Dong Xiaowan, he was a brilliant young scholar, a romantic figure admired by Shilin, with both talent and appearance. Dong Xiaowan is a famous prostitute in Qinhuai, Nanjing. She is twenty-eight, with excellent color and art. Dong Xiaowan once had a crush on Mao Xiang, but she has a happy marriage. And Dong Xiaowan was also entangled by some powerful people at that time. No matter what obstacles there are, they hit it off. After a year of mediation and cooking, Dong Xiaowan finally entered Mao Xiang's house as a concubine. Dong Xiaowan has a gift for poetry. She often talks with her husband about Tang poetry all night, trying to find out the difficulties. She also participated in her husband's literary creation, helped him copy articles, sorted out books and manuscripts, and compiled an ancient book Yan Yan, which described women's costumes and songs and dances. When the Qing soldiers went south, she and Maoxiang took refuge across the river and tossed and turned in the chaos. Dong Xiaowan does housework and takes care of Maoxiang, and everything is arranged in perfect order. However, after they lived together for nine years, Dong Xiaowan died at the age of 26 because of frailty and overwork. At the risk of losing my concubine, I can't forget Dong Xiaowan in my old age.
Of course, there are only a few prostitutes like Dong Xiaowan who can find people who really love each other.
Second, some women are hereditary musicians and must be prostitutes for life. After aging, geisha often teach skills in teaching workshops or act as artists, and accept apprentices to teach skills. Prostitutes often become brothel owners. They used the money they earned when they were young and beautiful to buy real estate, adopt their daughters and become wives. Because they are prostitutes, their education, skills and experience are enough to enable them to strictly teach prostitutes and skillfully manage them. Some madam mothers were abused when they were young, and often treated prostitutes in the same way, or forced them to keep receiving customers, and abused and flogged them if they were a little slack; Or collude with prostitutes to entrap clients. They love money, love money, and are mercenary. In Jian Xuan Ji written by farmers in the Qing Dynasty, there is a message from a prostitute's family written by a well-known person, which vividly describes the inner world of the madam: Fu Yi Xiang burns a tripod, a silver pot sticks a candle, invites you to hook the ground, teaches the king of the workshop, a fireworks messenger and a pink fairy. Disciples grew up in Jiujiang and lived next to the holy emperor. Because there is no physiology, buying a good girl is a prostitute. Today, in Chinese Valentine's Day, a vegetarian Dojo was set up to worship the saints in our department. I wish you good luck: my aunt often receives rich old people (old customers), my second sister earns more money, my third sister dances with lions from time to time in the room, my fourth sister catches mandarin ducks in bed every night, my fifth sister is busy welcoming the new and seeing off the old, my sixth sister is busy taking off her pants and coat, my seventh sister is guaranteed by a salt merchant, and my eighth sister is willing to make piles. After cooking, I often pick up a guest who is left behind. Take a walk, cook some soup, wash your feet and wash your hands frequently. Family benefits the city, and you will always be safe and healthy. ?
In this article, the madam worships God on Qixi night, praying that the ten sisters can receive rich guests and make big money every night, and also hope that the maid can receive guests and make money. My wife's love for money is vividly portrayed.
Some prostitutes who are not good at color and art lose their charm when they are old, and they don't have enough money to buy a house to keep their daughters, so they work as maids or maids in brothels to serve famous prostitutes.
The third is to get married. No matter for geisha or prostitutes, good advice is their yearning destination. However, getting married from Liang must be when you are young and beautiful. Once you get old, then what? Cold door and thin saddle? Nobody cares. Moreover, prostitutes working in the imperial court can only get married if the emperor orders them to be released from the palace. For local official prostitutes, you must get the approval of the local governor before you can get married. For ordinary princesa, it is to pay enough money to be redeemed and get the permission of the tortoise before getting married. To this end, many prostitutes with outstanding color skills, when they are young and beautiful, try their best to save money for old age. For example, Pan Qiong, a famous prostitute in Tokyo in the Song Dynasty, was rich in resources. On one occasion, she hosted a banquet for Deng, the number one scholar, and laid down a banquet. Every time she lights up, she has all kinds of performances, which are extremely luxurious. The next day, the champion of China took out more than 100 pieces of platinum and asked Pan Qiong to set up another seat, but Pan Qiong said that the platinum was only enough? How much does it cost to come to Sakhalin Island at night? Scared the China champion away. (Ye Luo's "Drunken Weng Tan Lu" butyl volume 1)
Some senior prostitutes are worth a lot of money. A daughter? . Xu Lan in the Southern Song Dynasty, for example, was famous for a while. Xing Wu's richest man, Shen Chengwu, has been infatuated with her for half a year and spent millions of gold on Xu Lan. However, no matter how expensive young and romantic prostitutes are, they are sober about their destination, except for a few. Are you drunk today? The reason why they are extravagant is not only to entertain themselves for a while, on the one hand, to achieve psychological balance, on the other hand, to accumulate wealth and create conditions for their homes. There are also some prostitutes who will meet men who are congenial to each other and stay with them for life. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, prostitutes were proficient in writing, poetry and piano painting. At a banquet, I met a scholar Qiu, and they fell in love at first sight. My wish is to welcome as a human being, but Qiu's father will not allow it. After learning about Hu Wen, he was heartbroken and wrote a poem. Nagato sighed that day, and Alfred spoiled the emperor deeply. Can gold buy customers? As if I saw the bald head singing. ? She vowed to die. However, Qiu's father refused and sold Hu Wenru to a businessman. Wen Ru fled to Qian Qiu overnight, and they got married privately, traveled around famous mountains, played the piano and wrote poems, and stayed together for life. But there are prostitutes who are obsessed with marriage. For example, Jing Pianpian, a famous prostitute in Jianchang in Ming Dynasty, was well-known for her extensive reading and good singing. She dated a man all her life, but she didn't get married in the end, and Jing Pianpian died of poverty in the end.
For street prostitutes, most of them are redeemed as concubines. It's just that some men are not really loved, but are only greedy for their wealth. Once their wealth runs out, they will be left out in the cold. Because prostitutes in brothels are reduced to prostitutes, even if they marry well, they are three points lower than others, and few people can really get happiness.
The fourth is to become a monk. Prostitutes become monks for various reasons. Some of them are noble or chaste women, abducted or tricked into prostitution, and in all respects, they live a disgraceful life. They despair of life, feel guilty, humiliate their families and cut their hair for the afterlife; Some color art is superb and romantic for a while. Once they are old and out of favor, they can't stand sadness and loneliness, lose their psychological balance and become monks for peace; After losing the capital of busking and prostitution, some prostitutes become nuns just to get a place to live. There are also some prostitutes who are eager to leave the brothel and get married well. They spend their hard-earned money on men, but they are cheated and abandoned, so they see through the world of mortals and are willing to become monks all their lives.

In short, as far as their fate is concerned, their experiences, whether geisha or prostitutes, are mostly unfortunate.
