The so-called "five poisons are complete", in addition to not smoking opium, like Lin Zexu, resolutely opposing opium, the rest of the "four poisons", Gong Zizhen can be described as "one and all".
Let's talk about visiting the Qinglou first. Gong Zizhen likes to visit the Qinglou, which can be seen repeatedly in the pen of his friends. It is conceivable that the frequency of Gong Zizhen's visits to the Qinglou was probably one of the best at that time. Of course, this has a special background of the times. In ancient times, the literati were popular and drilled into the Qinglou when they had time, which was also caused by the customs. Look at those great poets, which one does not leave some after-dinner talk in the Qinglou? At that time, the literati were not ashamed of this, but proud of it.

Of course, there is one thing that is different from today. In ancient times, even in the late Qing Dynasty, the girls in the Qinglou were different from the group of roadside solicitors. In the Qinglou, most of them just play and sing, drink some wine, and if they are "introduced", it is very rare. Therefore, when the literati go to the Qinglou, they do not necessarily have physiological needs. Instead, sometimes it's just a joke and a song to write. Because of this, the Qinglou woman with a little talent is more sought after by the literati.
Gong Zizhen's two major hobbies, in addition to visiting the Qinglou, are gambling. His time, in addition to writing poetry and visiting the Qinglou, was almost dedicated to the great cause of gambling. On weekdays, as soon as he is fine, he buries his head in the probability of gambling. But even so, every gamble must be lost, and if you lose, you will gamble again. Speaking of which, Gong Zizhen can also be regarded as a master in gambling. But gambling, even if the craftsmanship is high, luck must account for a large part. Therefore, Gong Zizhen often laughed at himself, and those who drowned in the water were all swimmers.
