The Origin of Japanese Street Patrol
1. In the Edo era, geisha and traveling girls with the highest level (ranking first) were called "flower heads". Huakui is not only beautiful in appearance, but also highly cultivated in culture. He is good at traditional skills such as music, tea ceremony, floral art, poetry, calligraphy and dance, and his talents are both perfect and colorful. The walking distance between Huakui and the tea shop that welcomes male guests is called "Huakui Road", which is also the Huakui Parade.

2. In the procession, at the front of the procession is a man carrying a lantern with a design belonging to the chief (similar to the family design), followed by two "bald heads" (referring to the little girls who helped the chief during the tour at the age of 65,438+00), holding the chief's supplies in their hands. Then there is the flower head wearing heavy clothes and five or six inches high clogs, followed by several "newly made" (girls older than "bald" but unable to receive guests) and bodyguards.

3. There is a proverb that "Huakui walks slower than an ox cart" because he wears about 20 kilograms of clothes and has extremely heavy clogs. There are "inner eight characters" and "outer eight characters", and Yoshihara Kui is mainly the outer eight characters.

4. "Huakui Daozhong" has been preserved as a popular cultural landscape in the Edo period because of its rich folk characteristics. "Middle Road" is a trip ceremony for high-class prostitutes. Floats clear the way and attendants crowd around, and the scene is luxurious.
