The prostitutes are worshiped in Zhong, and the female Lu is three hundred also
Guan Zhong was the chancellor of the Duke of Qi Huan in the Spring and Autumn Period, a generation of sages who left their names throughout the ages in the historical texts, but their names were often associated with prostitutes, and they were even worshipped as "protective gods" by prostitutes. The reason is that there is no reason, only because he was the first to set up a "female Lu", the so-called "Female Lu", that is, a brothel.
Prostitution is arguably one of the oldest professions in the world, as the seven passions are human instincts, but have always been unregulated. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the appearance of Guan Zhong changed history
That is to say, Guan Zhong was the first official figure to set up a brothel.
Between about 685 BC and 645 BC, Guan Zhong set up the "Nu Lu", which was at least 50 years before the school established the Athenian State Brothel (594 BC). Therefore, some people joke that Guan Zhong is the "father of the world's official prostitutes".
Guan Zhong set up a brothel for four reasons:
Don't underestimate this little reform, which has made great contributions to the prosperity of the Qi state.
On the one hand, most of the service personnel in the female market are female slaves or guilty bodies, and most of the hard-earned money they earn is collected by the national treasury, which greatly increases the state revenue and enriches the national treasury;
The second is to drive employment, because there must be normal employees who manage women's markets, and these positions are afraid of being squeezed out;
The idle people in the third society have a place to go, so they stop fighting and making trouble in the streets, and the money of the nobleman's brother has a place to spend, and even with social security, it has become better;
There is also a fact that since the qi country opened this, people in other countries feel very fresh, they have to come to see it, and when they meet what they like, they stay, so even the talents have been introduced, this stone bird, Guan Zhong is really a talent!
Guan Zhong's establishment of casinos and brothels had a profound impact on the Chinese public system in later generations. Under his influence, the Spring and Autumn countries followed suit, and the feudal rulers of later generations also gave the system a legal status and operated in a bright and upright manner. Therefore, they regard Guan Zhong as the grandfather.
It is said that when the ancient prostitutes were not in good business, they took a urinal and knelt in front of Guan Zhong's tablet, knocking on the urinal while praying: "Grandmaster bless me with many guests and make a lot of money", Guan Zhong was remembered for this image, and he did not know whether to cry or laugh.
