You know, there is a difference between the Green House and the brothel. The women in the Qinglou have a skill, whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and poetry and song, they are involved in these aspects, and even proficient in one or more aspects. Some students are not even as talented as the women in the Qinglou. Many of the women in the Qinglou are known as "QingQiao'er", and a small number of women who sell their art and sell their bodies are called "Red Qi'er". The most obvious difference from brothels is that it is more of a place of literature and art than a place of sale.
The most well-known Qinglou women are "Qin Huai Bayan", they are Liu Ruyi, Gu Hengbo, Ma Xianglan, Chen Yuanyuan, Kou Baimen, Bian Yujing, Li Xiangjun, dong Xiaowan. Each of them has left a strong mark in history, whether it is Liu Ruyi, who has a strong patriotic spirit, Kou Baimen, who is happy to take revenge, or Chen Yuanyuan, who is known as "red face and disaster water", their talents have never been forgotten. Liu Ruyi's talent and learning have made many men ashamed, and they are called "Liu Confucians", which shows people's admiration for him.
Then some people may ask, how much does it cost to visit such a green building? According to the current consumption level, can people afford to shop?
In ancient times, there was a threshold for visiting the Qinglou, and it was either rich or expensive. Take the Song Dynasty, if you want to enter the Qinglou, you have to pay the entrance fee first, which is about one or two pieces of silver. If you want to eat something and drink a little wine, that's a different price. If you still want to order a song and dance to enjoy, you have to pay some price, at least 50 taels of silver, and the price of the more top Qinglou women is much higher.
People may think that this does not seem to be much, after all, 1 or 2 silver is equivalent to more than 1,000 yuan in modern times, and most people can still afford to go in and shop. However, those highest-ranking flower queens are not rich to see, they also need to examine your talents, only to see the eyes.
According to records, Dong Xiaowan's redemption price was 3,000 taels of silver, which according to the algorithm, equivalent to about 3 million yuan. One could argue that it's not as good as the price of a TV series for some stars now. But this calculation is obviously inaccurate. According to the social environment at that time, in the Beijing area, next to the imperial city, more than 1,000 square meters of houses needed 1300 taels of silver. Ordinary county towns, 3 main rooms, 3 box rooms, 3 façade rooms and so on only need 50 two. And 5 taels of silver can make a family of 5 living in the city spend a year.
That is to say, Dong Xiaowan's redemption price can buy two sets of mansions in the capital and live a worry-free life. Isn't it more intuitive to see the purchasing power of silver in this way? This is far from being able to buy 3 million yuan now, 3 million yuan in Beijing to pay a down payment is no problem, but want a 1,000 square meters of house, plus a zero is not enough.
In this way, if you really go back to ancient times, the cost of visiting the Qinglou can still be borne by most people. However, if you want to eat and drink, and then talk to the girl about life ideals, this amount needs to be considered, because this is the price of a suite. And redeeming people is even more expensive, is the two houses in Kyoto not good? If it is you, can you afford to visit the ancient Qinglou?
