As early as the pre-Qin period, there was an industry of "prostitution". In order to stimulate the economy of Qi State, Guan Zhong opened many women's pavilions in Qi State and became the founder of the courtesan industry.
In the pre-Qin period, it was the era when the patriarchal system was popular, and people were also divided into 369 and so on.
Guan Zhong is worthy of being Guan Zhong, and his shot is Wang Bang, and since then, the courtesan industry has never stepped off the stage of history, but has multiplied and grown in the feudal dynasty.
Especially in the Song Dynasty, it was once popular for court officials to keep domestic prostitutes, and literati and writers also ran to the Qinglou with their heads bored, and the literary bigwigs also left a lot of classic poems for courtesans:
Spring breeze ten miles of Yangzhou Road, roll up the bead curtain is not as good. - Du Mu
Liu Yong can also be called the number one prostitute in history, and he has become good friends with the courtesans in the Qinglou, and a song "Yulin Bell" has become a classic:
Holding hands and looking at each other's teary eyes, they were speechless and choked...... Affectionate parting since ancient times, even more Nakan, snubbing the Qingqiu Festival......
Even after Liu Yong died, these famous prostitutes pooled money for him to be buried during his lifetime.
In ancient times, geisha was not synonymous with vulgarity, but represented an art and culture. Celebrities, dignitaries and dignitaries will go to the Qinglou to consume, and those famous prostitutes are similar to the stars at that time, and they may not be able to meet for a meal and sing a song if they have money.
With the development of the times, the brothel of Qinglou is no longer the patent of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and has begun to move towards civilianization. Of course, working people don't go to the brothel of Qinglou to spend money if they have nothing to do, after all, one visit is enough for their family to spend a few months.
The result of the popularization is to attract some wealthy businessmen's sons and brothers to join them, and the consumption power of this group is much stronger than that of those literati and inkmen.
When this group of people poured in, it was like a black fish pouring into a pond, breaking the original balance. They consumed wantonly and spent money like dirt, so that some courtesans who were originally selling their art but not selling their bodies began to shake their bottom line.
Even some pillars were inevitably pried by them and became concubines in their own families. Over time, the brothel of Qinglou, which originally represented elegance and art, became a place of mixed fish and dragons.
The threshold for entering the Qinglou courtesans has also begun to be further lowered, and the impact of the expansion of the industry is the reduction of the quality of personnel.
Even, some people with poor backgrounds and thin cultural and artistic foundations are mixed into it simply by relying on a good skin. The scale of the Qinglou also began to grow, and some courtesans couldn't keep the bottom line, and in order to make money, they also began to do some skin and meat business.
Finally, the industry has degenerated to such an extent.
Originally, there were some good-looking women who were blind in their eyes, but when they had no way to support themselves, they had no choice but to sell themselves to the Qinglou to eat.
These women did not receive much attention at first, and they made very little money. They have become the type of people with the least customer resources in the Qinglou, and they are often bullied by big teapots or bustards.
However, with the popularity of brothels in Qinglou, some sons and buddies are more and more fond of blind prostitutes. So what's so good about the "blind prostitute", and why did it suddenly become the darling of the times?
At first, it was just some boys looking for "blind prostitutes" to experience new feelings in order to seek excitement. But who knew that after experiencing it, I would fall in love with this feeling.
First of all, blind courtesans are more amiable than ordinary courtesans. You must know that in the Qinglou, all the so-called "famous prostitutes" are very cold, although the sons and brothers spend money to find them to sing and play the piano, but deep down, they actually don't look down on these sons, it's just a work need.
The cold energy of the goddess makes these boys very uncomfortable, on the contrary, blind prostitutes will not be like this, they usually "treat everyone equally", they don't have so many crooked thoughts, and they are dedicated to performing talents.
You know, when the eyes can't see, the rest of the body becomes sensitive. Due to the lack of vision, blind prostitutes have a more sensitive sense of touch than ordinary prostitutes.
Therefore, when they pinch the shoulders and pound the legs of the sons with their hands, both in terms of position and strength, they are much stronger than ordinary courtesans.
In terms of service experience, blind courtesans absolutely crush regular courtesans.
In addition to their hands becoming more sensitive, their sense of hearing and inner sense are also more sensitive than those of ordinary people, so whether they play the piano or sing, they are more able to perform their talents well.
These people don't watch people put on the dishes, they don't pick the fat and the thin, and they don't throw their faces at the guests. As a result, blind prostitutes are becoming more and more popular.
Since there is a large gap in the market, some black-hearted bustards can only artificially train "blind prostitutes", she first spends money to buy some children from poor families, and then blinds them through improper means, and then asks the master to teach them talents.
By the time they reach their teens, these blind prostitutes will be able to make money for the bustards. These people are easy to manage, obedient and well-liked, and the bustard is also happy to do it.
With the development of the times, these establishments have also been successfully banned, and the prostitute industry has basically come to an end. The group of blind prostitutes withdrew from the stage of the times early.
Blind prostitutes can only be a product of an era, but fortunately this era is over.
