The Qinglou is a place where men spent time in ancient times, and modern people can almost see it in some costume film and television dramas. At the beginning, Qinglou only referred to luxurious and exquisite buildings painted with green lacquer; Over time, it gradually referred to brothels.
"Book of Southern Qi, Volume VII, Dongdu Hou Benji": "Shizu Xingguanglou, Shangshi Qingqing, Shi Qinglou." ”
The proprietress in the ancient green building, or the person who managed and controlled the prostitutes, was called "old bustard" by the ancients; Many people can't help but wonder when they see this, why did the ancients call the lady of the ancient green building "Old Bustard"?
In fact, the reason why there was a name "bustard" in ancient times is also related to a bird called "bustard", let's take a look at why!
Qinglou has existed since ancient times, at least in the Spring and Autumn period.
There was a famous politician named Guan Zhong during the Spring and Autumn Period, and I believe many people have heard of Guan Zhong's great name; Guan Zhong was recommended by Bao Shuya to serve as the minister of the state of Qi, and assisted Qi Huan Duke to become the head of the Spring and Autumn overlord.
When the State of Qi was in power, Guan Zhong advocated a rich country and a strong army, which not only enhanced the combat effectiveness of the army of the State of Qi, but also enabled the economy of the State of Qi to develop by leaps and bounds.
In the article "Guan Zi Luxury", Guan Zhong systematically expounded the effect of consumption in promoting production. In order to promote consumption, the establishment of "public prostitution" is one of Guanzhong's means.
The so-called "public prostitutes" refer to officially licensed prostitutes, who are female workers under official management, and some people believe that this is the earliest prototype of the Qinglou; Therefore, Guan Zhong is called the ancestor of the Qinglou industry.
Since modern times, the green building industry has been completely abolished in China, because this kind of human trading business will give rise to many dark things, and it is also disrespectful to women.
But then again, although the old green building has been banned, many people believe that as long as there are still people, this kind of transaction will never be extinct, even if they cannot open the green building publicly, they will change the law and use other businesses to cover up.
Therefore, this kind of business can never be extinguished, because the men and women who do this kind of business each take what they need, so as long as human beings do not die, I am afraid that no amount of prohibition will have much effect!
Let's get back to business, let's talk about why the ancients called the lady in the green building, or the woman in charge of managing the prostitutes, "the old bustard".
First, let's look at the word "bustard", which is actually the name of a bird that people usually call a bustard. The bustard has a small head and a long neck and a short tail. Not good at flying, but good at walking.
It's bigger than a wild goose, has brown and black markings on its back, and often inhabits grasslands, and there's a picture of a bustard underneath, but if you see it, stay away from it.
It's not that this bird can threaten your personal safety, but because the bustard is a key protected animal of the country, don't make a big deal for the sake of a momentary stomach.
The reason why the ancients called the woman who managed the prostitutes in the green building "old bustard" because the bustard bird was an obscene bird in the eyes of the ancients; This means that the bustard's private life is very chaotic, which is very similar to the habits of those prostitutes. Therefore, prostitutes were called "bustards" by the ancients, and the old prostitutes who were responsible for managing prostitutes were also called "old bustards".
"Mr. Danchu's Treatise": "The old man of a prostitute is called a bustard." The bustard is large and goose-like, with no hind toes and tiger stripes. Joyful and insatiable, the birds ask for it. ”
Through the above documents, it can be seen that the ancients said that the bustard bird has always been a visitor in its private life, it will mate with other birds, and it has the title of the wife of ten thousand birds, so it was called an adulterous bird by the ancients.
To sum up, people think that the female workers in the green building are very similar to this bustard, so they are associated. But in modern times, bustards are also on the verge of extinction!
