The history of the development of bathing centers, why has it become synonymous with "special services"?
In the early 1990s, the bathing center at that time was called "sauna". In people's eyes, it is just a kind of large bathhouse with "steam", and people who often go in and out of such places are often some big bosses, and ordinary people can only be discouraged, because consumer prices are too high.
However, with the gradual improvement of living standards, when people have the ability to enjoy the "sauna", they find that this luxurious and rich bathhouse is hidden and mysterious, and there is no hole in the sky.
Saunas originated in Finland, also known as Finnish baths, and have a history of more than 2,000 years. The so-called sauna refers to the process of treating the human body with steam above 60 degrees in an enclosed room.
After the sauna entered China, it developed rapidly, and in just over a decade, it became a golden cave for sound and color dogs and horses, so why did it "become more and more crooked" in the process of development?
This has to be mentioned that the bathing center once had a glorious history of popularity. In fact, saunas have been introduced to China as early as the early 1980s, but people are very unfamiliar with this new thing.
What really made it popular was the wave of ideological emancipation in the nineties, when the emancipated ideas swept the country, and the economy and entertainment began to gradually sprout. Cabarets, dance halls, video halls, karaoke, etc., a gust of wind blowing violently from the south.
Sauna, this "rising star" that integrates entertainment and leisure has also arrived. At that time, most people's way of entertainment was nothing more than playing chess and cards in the streets and alleys.
However, in the face of the entertainment wind blowing from the south, "addiction" has become the real voice of all classes in the city, and the sauna during the rest time has also become a fashion and enjoyment.
Since joining the heterosexual massage, saunas have blossomed and blossomed everywhere in large and medium-sized cities. According to a survey by a Beijing media, in 1995, there were nearly 400 saunas in Beijing.
In the mid-1990s, although saunas had become popular, they were still not a frequent place for the sale of pulp, and Santana and Grand Mercedes were still parked outside the doors of various high-end bathing centers.
At that time, the price of "net mulberry" was generally more than ten yuan, which belonged to mass consumption. If you add Chinese, Japanese, Thai, European massage, or foot therapy, KTV, hot pot, etc., such a price should be calculated by a hundred times that of pure mulberry.
In the era of 500 yuan per capita wage, the price of Thai massage in a bathing center in Beijing can reach 2,000 yuan an hour. Even at such a high price, it still can't stop the pace of large money.
The 1990s were the golden years of the sauna industry, and in 1996, 10,000 saunas in the country washed away 10 billion yuan. For businessmen and politicians, the sauna is a booster for their careers.
Business is not discussed, first make a small gathering at the restaurant
If you don't refuse to do anything, the business will be complete
Full of wine and food, that is, the invitation to the song hall for recreation
Singing and dancing, business is three or four
Singing and dancing, accompanied by its sauna to relieve fatigue
If he is happy, the business is 50% or 60%.
These few classic words circulating in the folk are the true portrayal of the boss and the officials discussing things. In the 1990s, whether between officials and businessmen or between peers, their cooperation was almost always achieved in the bathing center, the mist-filled bath.
As long as there is money and beauty, what else can't be done? Since then, bathing centers have been defined as a new, tacit attribute.
After entering the new century, the sauna of leisure, entertainment and relaxation has gradually become the smoke of the past. But "special services" have become synonymous with bathing centers, even sweeping every corner like a storm.
The bathing center is originally a place to remove dirt and scale and cleanse the body and mind. But it has ended up being a place of dirt, vulgarity, and obscurity, which is a great irony.
