Why can Yangzhou pedicure spread all over the country?
In the whole country and even the whole world, the most famous pedicure master must come from Yangzhou. Even if you are not from Yangzhou, you will definitely use the signboard of Yangzhou pedicure. It seems that the word "Yangzhou" has become the forbidden peak of pedicure school. Why is the pedicure culture in Yangzhou so aggressive? This matter has to start with Yangzhou's position in history. Since the Song Dynasty, the economy has gradually moved south, and the south has gradually developed under this social background. Especially Yangzhou, an important node of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Yangzhou's geographical advantage has become an economic advantage. Most rich people, landlords and businessmen from all over the country will rest here. They don't rest in Yangzhou, but enjoy a happy life here. The demand of the big boss has driven the vigorous development of Yangzhou service industry, and pedicure and bathing have also been gloriously included in the name of service industry. Of course, the prosperity of Yangzhou brothel can not be separated from it.

With the blockade of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the re-establishment of the political center of gravity in the north of the Qing Dynasty, Yangzhou's status was once again reduced. Pedicure masters have lost their customers, so they have to pack their bags and go to more marketable places with pedicure skills. There are two destinations for pedicure masters, one is Shanghai and the other is Northeast China.

Shanghai and Northeast China are also the places with the most pedicures in Yangzhou at present. In the precipitation of Yangzhou pedicure culture for hundreds of years, the tools of pedicure are gradually diversified and the master's kung fu is more refined. Nowadays, the pedicure masters in Yangzhou have transformed into the inheritors of international trends and China traditional skills. Belgian Brussels even specially invited a pedicure master from Yangzhou to cross the sea, just to let Europeans see the craftsmanship of China.
