After the opening of the women's university, feminists such as Shen Peizhen rejoiced, and they wanted to take advantage of the victory and change the society of the time. Shen Peizhen was even more whimsical, she and Tang Qunying and others organized the "Women's Political Alliance" to make a big fuss in Congress, asking Congress to legislate to ban the operation of brothels across the country. Green. The real estate industry has a long history in China, and at that time, it was legal in Europe and most countries around the world, so naturally it was opposed by the majority of parliamentarians, and the bill did not receive support. Shen Peizhen was furious and actually bribed more than 20 Qing. Lou Nu went to the front of the presidential palace to petition Song Xiaofei to order the brothel to be declared illegal, and many domestic newspapers also reported on the matter. Green. The preservation and abolition of the building was a big social problem in the society at that time, and public opinion was in an uproar for a while.
Because in Chinese history, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qi Guanzhong set up state-run prostitutes. Hospital, collect taxes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty created a prostitute system, let prostitutes. The woman served the soldiers as a comfort woman, reflecting the empathy of the emperor and the compassion of the soldiers. In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty set up a teaching workshop to recruit singing and dancing artists and indulge in voices. Hue. The Tang Dynasty followed the Sui Dynasty's Jiaofang system. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty expanded the organization of the workshop, and the number of artists in the workshop reached more than 10,000.
In the past, some officials were still prostitutes. Women give favors, and when VIPs cross the border, they send prostitutes. Waitress bed. Some officials have a crush on a prostitute. Female, you can also lend him to play, such as the famous poet, who is also a big bureaucrat, and is also angrily denounced as a big prostitute by later generations. When Bai Juyi of the stick was appointed as the assassin of Hangzhou, he asked Yuan Zhi to borrow the Hangzhou courtesan merchant Linglong to play for more than a month, and he had a lot of poems and proudly recorded his prostitution. Prostitute. Prostitution. When the famous poet Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty was an official in Yangzhou, he often went in and out of Yangzhou prostitutes. In the hospital, his boss Niu Shengru secretly sent people to follow and protect him for several years out of concern.
However, after the Song and Yuan dynasties, science arose, emphasizing the defense of men and women. There are restrictions on official prostitutes, stipulating prostitutes. Women can only provide activities such as singing, dancing and drinking for officials, and cannot provide special services, and violators are subject to various punishments. to the Qing Dynasty. Business people talk about business, and most of them pay attention to restaurants and prostitutes. The courtyard "eats flower wine", that is, there are prostitutes when inviting guests to dinner. The woman sits next to her and sings a tune to drink wine and drink for the guest when he loses his fist, which is called "substitute wine".
In the eyes of the people at that time, whether it was concubinage or prostitution, it was generally not regarded as "moral corruption" and "moral degradation", and it would not get too much condemnation from the family or society. In particular, the literati and writers who were attached to the aristocracy also portrayed this behavior as wind. Rhyme. As for the behavior of "adulterous wives and daughters", it is considered "moral turpitude", because prostitutes. Women can prevent the behavior of "adulterous wives and daughters". So it's always been reasonable.
In the early part of the last century, some literati and celebrities in the society went to the brothel style of Bada Hutong. Streaming isn't a big deal, and it's not news. Historically, to V. Four that year. The press also revealed that Professor Chen, a liberal arts professor of Peking University, had excessively behaved as a prostitute: "He was nicknamed a prostitute with the students of Peking University, so he was jealous, and a certain gentleman dug up the prostitute's lower body to vent his anger." Therefore, Shen Peizhen's troubles are equivalent to poking a hornet's nest.
Moreover, the prostitutes of antiquity. Female, unlike now, is mostly from elementary school, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When you become a boat girl, you have to be able to, and she has the temperament of a young woman in literature and art. And those scholars and literati, most of the wives at home are the orders of their parents, and the words of matchmakers and concubines have no common language. Run outside and not only the wind. Flow. And there is a common language, which can be spoken, so there are many ancient stories, which should be a model of freedom in love. Historically, Bai Juyi, Du Mu, Liu Yong, Su Dongpo. have left behind famous sentences for the ages. Li Shishi, Liu Rushi and the like are also famous in history. Unlike now, because it has become an underground industry, there is no way to transform and upgrade, and it is completely vulgar, and the women just sell. body, there is no art to sell, even if you are lucky enough to get into the entertainment industry, you are also degenerate.
It is said that Su Dongpo was sentenced in Hangzhou, and a camp prostitute submitted a letter to apply for divorce. Lao Su waved his pen: "Five days of Jingzhao, the judgment is not difficult, the nine-tailed wild fox, from the good point." "That's right. Word goes out and another prostitute. The woman also asked for goodness, and Su Dongpo judged: "Mu Zhounan's transformation is commendable." The group of empty Hebei North, please do not allow. "I didn't agree this time. Why is one accurate and the other not? Because of this excellent color art, "the glamorous banner crowns the whole county, and Mr. regrets to go". Therefore, it can be seen from this story that the ancients looked at Qing with a more open mind than they do now. Floor for women. Moreover, the society calls prostitutes. The concept of female sex is more than what is now said. The scope of workers should be broader and artistic. Prostitutes and sexuals. Prostitutes are divided, the former is mainly engaged in artistic performance activities, like some literary and artistic workers today, entertainment stars, and the status of women who sell art at that time is also low, such as Yang Cuixi, can also be bought and sold, and the latter mainly sells sex. Appearance.
Gu Hongming, a professor at Peking University, was the first to jump out and object, publishing a very in-depth article in the newspaper, saying: "Prostitute. The female profession was established in the Spring and Autumn Period in China, and Guan Zhong set up 700 female Lu and used prostitution to collect taxes to supplement military spending, so the industry worshiped Guan Zhong as the ancestor. When the talented girl Xue Tao was a child, she had a poem 'Branches welcome the birds of the north and south, and the leaves send the wind to and fro', and she was regarded as a prostitute. Couplet at the entrance of the courtyard. It can be seen that this is something that can be publicized. Yuan Dynasty prostitute. Female, mostly inseparable from performing arts, the two occupations overlap. The court workshop of the Yuan Dynasty was located in the area of the current Dongcheng of Beijing, and it was called Huanghuafang in the Ming Dynasty. It is convenient for the girls to ask the teacher to learn the arts. Later, Emperor Zhengde moved the entire art institution to the palace, and it became a veritable red light district. In the Qing Dynasty, all idle and miscellaneous industries were blasted out of the city, and then the focus shifted to the eight alleys outside Xuanwu Gate. That is to say, throughout Chinese history, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a dynasty that considered prostitutes. Women are illegal, and the court has always been a prostitute. Female placed in the legal business of the green. Upstairs, standardize management, raise prostitutes. The cultural level of women has also added a strong touch to China's excellent traditional culture, and secondly, it has also increased a lot of taxes for the country. Visible, prostitute. Women and society are not like beasts of prey, neither stealing nor robbing, but at best they are only fornication, 'all evil fornication is the head', and the blame must be attributed only to the adulterous man, to the prostitute. What do women do? And if a prostitute. If the identity of women is not recognized by society, their lives will be difficult, and they have to live in a mouse posture, low-key and dark, day and night, or under the guise of legality, like the ninth prostitute in "Jigong". Female, there is a curtain hanging at the door to sell tofu, and there is a thing of ahhhh ”
In the pen of Gu Hongming, the prostitute. Female capital has become a sacred and great profession, and he has also researched that in foreign countries, a kind of prostitute has prevailed in history. The female origin is a religious statement, and in most religious rituals, there are many sexual activities that rely on some kind of religious ritual to sacrifice. For example, the kingdom of Babylon, founded in 3000 B.C., had prostitutes. Female, during the reign of King Hammurabi, in addition to male priests, servants, and craftsmen, there were many very respected female priests in the temple, who usually came from wealthy families; In addition, there are "priestly prostitutes" who serve between "God" and "prayer people". women", whose income seems to be the main source of income for the temple. The Greek historian Herodotus in the fifth century B.C. wrote about the prostitutes in the temple of Babylon. "Every local woman must go to the temple once in her life, sit there, and give her body to a strange man, until a man throws a silver coin into her skirt and takes her out to lie with him, otherwise she is not allowed to go home, and the woman has no choice, she must go with the first man who gives her money." When she had done her duty to the goddess by sleeping with him, she could go home. "So, I was a prostitute at that time. Women are not ashamed. State-run prostitutes in the West. The court began with Solon, the great political reformer of Athens, who decided to open a state-run prostitute. The hospital was also praised by the masses for meeting the needs of many young men; And it protects the women of good families, so that they are chased by some middle-aged men when they go out.
Zhang Taiyan wrote an article through investigation and research, saying that brothels solve the employment problem of many people. Shanghai's ten-mile foreign market, within a radius of two or three miles, has opened hundreds of prostitutes. Courtyard. Prostitute. The source of women is mainly the poor families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces who are unable to repay their debts due to natural disasters and other reasons, and sell their slightly attractive daughters into prostitutes. Hospital, then prostitute. The jargon of the courtyard is called "please". Those who are a little less good-looking, a little less "grade" or unwilling to sell themselves as prostitutes. If you are a woman, you will go to a prostitute. went to work as a maid in the courtyard and earned a few wages, and the jargon at that time was called "little big sister", or "big sister" for short. In prostitution. In the courtyard, the eldest sister only tidies up the room and receives prostitutes. Customers, that is, the supply of tea and fruits, generally do not accept customers or sell themselves, and their income and living standards are slightly higher than those of ordinary people as "aunts". As for prostitutes. The turtle slaves, sedan chair men and other miscellaneous personnel in the courtyard are mainly from the Yangzhou area in northern Jiangsu. The total number of people has reached more than 100,000. And keep the green. There are several obvious benefits to the floor:

After discussing with Yan Fu, the chief of education, Liang Qichao, the chief of justice, Zhang Jian, the chief of agriculture and industry, and Tan Chong, the director of the General Administration of Integrity of China, and others, they felt that at this stage of development, for the sake of social stability and prostitution. The legitimate rights and interests of women and respect for human desires. Hopefully, or keep the green for the time being. Building, it is better to be managed by the government.
Shen Peizhen and others didn't understand, and still ran to the parliament to make a fuss. Shen Peizhen, Tang Qunying and others took advantage of the meeting of the Senate to lead a group of women to rush into the venue, smashed the glass window of the Senate, and kicked down the guards, causing a sensation in the "Senate incident" that caused a sensation throughout the country.
