One hundred and eight great crafts in the world, looking at feng shui and so on. Guarding the door, walking the road, walking the boat, and so on, three hundred and sixty lines of eating, this prostitute can be regarded as a journey.

Three teachings and nine streams, upper nine streams, middle nine streams, lower nine streams, and those first-class have all produced awesome characters. There is no shortage of emperors who have been sent out of the next nine streams! Liu Bang is a small civil servant, and according to the current level, the village chief is not! Liu Bei sold straw sandals, Zhao Kuangyin worked hard to pull his feet, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more miserable, and the monk asked for food.

Who looks down on whom? When he was in trouble, he was stepped on by 10,000 people, and once he became the throne, he stepped on 10,000 people, what happened to the prostitute? The same is also based on labor to eat, to say that it is a legitimate profession since the Shang and Zhou Dynasty, it is much earlier than the history of the civil service system, although it later became the first of the four lowly people who advocate excellence, but it has also been a bull fork figure.

Far away like being a queen, beating the drums of war and killing Jin Bing, not to mention, didn't Sai Jinhua, the head of a prostitute, save thousands of dignitaries and ordinary people? Jokingly, the money exchanged for selling one's body is probably much cleaner than the officials who loot the hard-earned money of the common people.

The emergence of prostitutes in ancient China was more complicated, starting with "domestic prostitutes", which was similar to the early female slaves in the West. There may also be "witch prostitutes", which have a "function" similar to the witches in the Babylonian temple. Later, they developed into "palace prostitutes", "official prostitutes", "city prostitutes", and "private prostitutes", and gradually penetrated into a wider range of social life.

As for the "domestic prostitute", it may have started with Xia Wei's accumulation of women's music and advocating excellence for 30,000 people, and some people call this "slave prostitution". After that, the wind became more and more blowing. From the Son of Heaven and the princely generals. Down to the doctors and the rich. They all took pleasure in accumulating female slaves, and used the number of female slaves as an important symbol to show off their power and property.

These female slaves often have the dual mission of presenting themselves and offering skills, for the slave owners to have sexual pleasure, and the history books call them maids, concubines, voice prostitutes, singers, dancing girls, and also called beauties, female musicians, and advocates, we can collectively call them "domestic prostitutes".

The female wine cited in "Zhou Li" is a woman's wine, and the woman is weak, mocking thousands of people. Generally, beautiful and talented women are selected for the emperor's lewd pleasure. The emperor's domestic prostitutes were also called "imperial prostitutes" and "palace prostitutes" in later generations. The Western Zhou Dynasty was a society with a very prosperous slavery system, and the practice of female slavery was very widespread, so it can be considered that "domestic prostitutes" and "slave prostitutes" began in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Later, these "domestic prostitutes", which were controlled by slave owners, gradually evolved into "official prostitutes", that is, from serving one or several people to serving society and serving certain political, economic and social purposes of slave owners.

At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, the prime minister of Qi set up a "female lu", and the "Eastern Zhou Ce" recounted this incident and said: "There are seven female markets in the palace of Qi Huan, and seven hundred female lu". "Lu" means door, and in the palace, the door is the city. This was the beginning of the Chinese state's operation of brothels.

According to historical records. State-run brothels in the West began with Solon, the great political reformer of Athens, whose decision to open a state-run brothel was praised by the masses as satisfying 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.

Solon's law is 594 B.C., and it was probably during this period that he founded the national brothel, and Guan Zhong Xiangqi died in the nineteenth year of King Zhuang of Zhou, that is, in 685 B.C., and died in the seventh year of King Qi of Zhou, that is, in 645 B.C., Guan Zhong founded the national brothel at least about 50 years earlier than Solon.

Guan Zhong is a big politician, he created a national brothel not for lewd pleasure, nor whimsical, but for some political and economic purposes, at that time Qi was not a big country with developed economy and strong military strength, if you want to strengthen the army first, Qi is mountainous, and the products are not rich, and it is not a provocation to have Dongyi by the sea in the east, so Guan Zhong came up with a trick to catch the money.

First, in order to increase the country's revenue, the women's market collected men's money into the government, which was the so-called "pollen tax" and "pollen donation" in later generations. Therefore, Chu Xuejia of the Qing Dynasty said: "Guan Zi governs Qi, puts 700 women, and levies the funds of his night to fill the country, which is the beginning of pollen money." ”

Spring money for payment in brothels

Second, to alleviate social contradictions, that is, on the one hand, not to give many men nowhere to vent their sexual anguish, and on the other hand, to properly accommodate a large number of female slaves. Such as "Han Feizi? "Foreign Prince" said: "Huan Gong saw that Minxing was seventy years old and had no wife, so he sued Guan Zhong. He said, 'If the rulers hear that there is a wealth in them, the people will be in need; If there is resentment in the palace, then there are people who are old and have no wife. Huan Gong said: "Good." 'Let a woman in the palace marry before she has tasted the king, but let the man marry at the age of twenty, and the woman at the age of fifteen. ”

As a result, the contradiction between some men in society who have no wives has been eased. At the same time, at that time, Huan Gong was hegemonic, and he captured many women from other countries in the war, and there were some criminal female slaves in the country, and placed them in prostitutes, which could further solve the needs of some people in society.

Third, attract tourists. At that time, the princes of various countries competed for power, and if the Qi country wanted to dominate, it was necessary to recruit talents, and use the wanderers to talk about it, and the pipes were all in order, and the bureau of cloth and clothes had been opened, but most of these travelers were dissolute and unruly people, who loved women and alcohol, so opening brothels became a means to attract them. Yan Taizi Dan also has a similar approach, in order to attract talents, attract travelers, he selected a group of beauties to be placed in the hotel, and every time a guest passes by, he sends these beauties to entertain and stay.

Fourth, for Qi Huan Gong entertainment. Gong Qi Huan is lustful, and the wives and concubines in the palace are tired of playing, and they have to come out to seek excitement. "Han Feizi? The foreign prince said on the right: "The uncle of Duke Huan, the internal affairs belong to Uncle Bao, and the foreign affairs belong to Guan Zhong, who was sent to the royal woman, and traveled in the city every day", which shows that the Duke of Qi Huan is good at traveling. Guan Zhong's establishment of a brothel also has the element of Haode in the Qihuan Gong.

A series of political and economic reforms starting from the Nulu also made the Qi State stronger, and this Duke of Qi Huan also became the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Therefore, the ancestral tablet enshrined by the prostitutes is the tablet of Guan Zhong, so we can despise or despise the profession of prostitutes, but we can't ignore the human rights of others, which is the same for everyone.

Thousands of years of feudal society, there are too many rules and regulations imposed on women, if they are not sold or cornered, no woman is willing to give up the chastity that is more important than life, to become a prostitute, on this road, the vast majority of women will end miserably, and few can die well.

It's not quite the same as now, if you want me to see, now those women in the outer women's sauna nightclubs are not quite the same as the desperate ones in the past, it should be said that it is the other way around, I don't want to work hard to earn money, and I want to live a luxurious and luxurious life, so I went into the water, to put it bluntly, money is lost.

Not to mention these now, it's not good to be harmonious.

In the past, the brothel, teahouse, theater, garden, and bathhouse were known as the place where the filth was hidden, and it was also the place where the dragon and the tiger were hidden! Before the talented people made a fortune or when they were in seclusion, they mostly mixed in these places, of course, let's not talk about the messy things here, let's talk about the few pink heroes.

Pressing the fist of Yang Stick, covering up Brigade Commander Hou's anger, this is a female Oiran in the rouge pile! The stage name is Hongyu, not to mention that she and the Ziyu who made the fortune of the eldest son of the Zhao family are really brought out by a team leader, and Ziyu is one year older than Hongyu.

When Hongyu was twelve years old, there was a great drought in Henan, ten rooms and nine empty, either starved to death or fled the famine, her family ran to Hebei, only to reach the boundary of Cixian County, her mother was sick and hungry first, followed by a three-year-old brother and a five-year-old sister, Hongyu was still called a Cui'er at that time, his father looked at the ten-year-old eldest son and the twelve-year-old girl, and was ruthless, so he sold Hongyu to traffickers.

His father didn't say that he was forced to sell, the twelve-year-old girl was also sensible, and the death of her mother's younger brothers and sisters made Hongyu herself think about letting her father sell her and lead her younger brother to have a way to live.

Do you know why you helped Yang with a stick? When Hongyu sent a guest out, she saw Yang Stick staring at her with her fists bent over, the same expression as his father when she was taken away by traffickers! I chuckled in my heart, and I didn't know why, so I went up and helped. (To be continued......)
