China's history of sweeping pornography: Guan Zhong, the originator of official prostitutes, Zhao Zhen, the originator of the yellow sweeping of documents, and Kangxi, the originator of the law sweeping the yellow
Throughout the ages, the common people have hated the system of prostitutes. Combating prostitution is now known as sweeping pornography. So, in the long process of thousands of years in ancient China, how did the dynasties sweep away pornography?
Guan Zhong, in order to increase the revenue of the central finances of the State of Qi, set up a female Lu in Linzi, the State of Qi
Guan Zhong can be regarded as the originator of China's prostitution industry. In 645 BC, during the Spring and Autumn Period, guan Zhong, the shangqing of the State of Qi, in order to increase the financial revenue of the central government of the State of Qi, established neilu in Linzi, also known as Nülu, which was an official brothel. Since then, the prostitution industry has taken to the stage of history.
From the day of its birth, prostitution has been criticized by all sides. It is recorded in the "Warring States Policy and Eastern Zhou Ce" that Qi Huan openly opened an official brothel, selected 700 beautiful women, and the business was booming. At that time, the people of the State of Qi were very opposed to such a depraved thing, which should be the earliest anti-pornography voice in China.
Since ancient times, there have been two ways to ban prostitution and sweep pornography, one is to sweep pornography by morality, and the other is to sweep pornography by law.
Moral sweeping is the voice of the people, which is the spontaneous behavior of the people in order to purify the social environment, guide the social atmosphere to be clean, and maintain the ethics and morality of the society. This kind of anti-pornography is not of a policy nature, but relies on the supervision of public opinion, and it is quite difficult to implement. Official prostitutes, private prostitutes or blind to it, I do my own thing.
Moral sweeping is the voice of the people, relying on the supervision of public opinion
From the day of the birth of prostitution, the people were the main force in the moral eradication of pornography. Folk often use such dirty words as "losers" and "cheap goods" to accuse improper men and women of their behavior. Moral pornography has caused many families to be separated from each other, and some prodigal sons can turn back. But in terms of its role, after all, private self-restraint cannot solve big problems.
If you want to play a big role in sweeping pornography, you still have to rely on the law to eliminate pornography. In order to cater to the voices of the people, better regulate the ruling order, purify the social environment, and maintain ethical and moral order, some imperial courts in ancient times prohibited restrictions on legal documents and policies, which is called legal sweeping.
The legal crackdown is divided into two levels. The first level is to control the access mechanism, and almost all dynasties and dynasties are not allowed to "force good people into prostitution" in order to maintain the order of the whole society. For example, the Ming Dynasty clearly stipulated in the form of law, "those who force the good to be prostitutes", and the staff is one hundred.
The second level of the legal crackdown is to restrict the consumption behavior of prostitutes. This level is divided into two situations, one is that the emperor makes some anti-pornography regulations in the form of oral or document forms. One is to use laws and regulations to eliminate pornography in norms that have laws to follow.
Anti-pornography proclamation of the Republic of China
Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty may have been the founding father of the oral or document sweeping of huang. Emperor Renzong of Song had issued a holy decree ordering the relevant officials in charge of the prison that the staff should not prostitute themselves. "No prostitutes allowed".
Later, when Emperor Shenzong of Song became emperor, he extended the rule that no one should be involved in pornography to the entire scope of the Supervision Department, that is, all supervision officials were not allowed to prostitute themselves. Later, it was also extended to all officials who were not allowed to prostitute, and only the birthday of Song Shenzong was allowed every year, and everyone could be free to "relax." "The intensity of the yellow sweep is still quite large."
In the Tang Dynasty, the prostitution industry was the most developed, and a complete system was established, and a special management institution "teaching workshop" was set up to effectively manage and pre-job skills training for pornographic personnel. There are singers, maiko, musicians, and drinking prostitutes.
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there was no prohibition of prostitution. Zhu Yuanzhang even upgraded the prostitution management agency to the "Department of Teaching", which was subordinate to the Ministry of Etiquette in charge of education and foreign affairs. When Emperor Zhu Zhanji became emperor, he ordered the abolition of official prostitutes, and the document stipulated that officials were not allowed to enter the red light district, setting off a vigorous anti-pornography and prostitution campaign, which was a major event in the history of China's anti-pornography campaign.
The talents of the Tang and Song dynasties often had an affair with the Qinglou
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the intensity of the yellow sweeping was significantly reduced, and the Qinhuai River in Nanjing was full of red wine and green lights, brothels, and restaurants, and for a time it became the trading center of prostitutes in the country. In the Qing Dynasty, Yu Huai's "Banqiao Miscellaneous Records" recorded the prosperity of the Qinhuai River. The most famous "Qinhuai Bayan" of the Ming and Qing dynasties was often active on both sides of the Huai River.
In the Qing Dynasty, the effort to sweep away pornography was very strong. In the 8th year of Shunzhi, the Qing court ordered the cessation of the handover of quotations and set off a top-down anti-pornography campaign.
Kangxi is the originator of law, green and yellow, kangxi in order to sweep away yellow, in 181680 AD, promulgated the first anti-pornography law in Chinese history, the regulations clearly stipulate that the gang opens the kiln, the leader of the decision.
The Jiaqing Emperor, in the Great Qing Law, which was revised again in 1811 AD, once again emphasized that the inside and outside of the capital were taken to open soft sheds, and tomorrow 9 dinner, in addition to the fact that they themselves should be punished according to the law, the landlord who rented out the house should also be punished, the staff was punished for eighty, and the detention was january...
Wu Qi of the Qing Dynasty recorded in the "Yangzhou Advocacy Speech", "When there is a ban, you will flee for life and death, and you will not know what to do", which shows that the Qing Dynasty has really made sufficient efforts to eliminate pornography, is the real law to sweep pornography, and is a huge government-led anti-pornography campaign. The effect of the Qing Dynasty's anti-pornography was obvious, and only some private prostitutes (private prostitutes) were not easy to define and forbidden.
Although the food color is also, the Chinese nation has always been a country of etiquette. The people have always adopted zero tolerance for pornography, and the voice of the people to eliminate pornography has always been very high. Some dynastic courts have also made some contributions to the eradication of pornography, but we should always hold high the historical banner of sweeping away pornography and restore the clean and upright atmosphere of our society.
