Nowadays, social development is more and more rapid, people's material life is not only more and more rich, the spiritual living standards are gradually improved, for young people, nightlife is an indispensable activity, the new generation of "night owls" nightlife is colorful and dazzling.
While living such a life, many people fantasize about what the life of ancient people was like through the smoke and dust of history.
Compared with the modern society with developed science and technology, although ancient times have their advantages, there is no electricity, no network, going out all rely on roaring, transportation is not convenient, it feels that the ancients seem to be busy after a day, go home is not to eat or sleep, it is no wonder that there are so many children in ancient families.
This is just a misunderstanding of ancient people, although the ancient social environment and facilities are not as good as modern, but also have their own unique characteristics, modern society can not imitate.
Even in the period of the nightlife boom of ancient society, compared with modern nightlife, it can be described in one sentence.
The Sui Dynasty as a time node, is a very important turning point, before the Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains continent was in flames, from the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, the millennium of chaos, the people can live in peace and happiness is a luxury, not to mention the nightlife.
In the Sui Dynasty, the wars in the Central Plains gradually subsided, trade developed rapidly, and in the Song Dynasty, the nightlife of the people gradually became rich.
Prior to this, there was a curfew from the Shang Dynasty onwards, and this system was not reformed with the overthrow of the Shang Dynasty, but was passed down until the Tang Dynasty.
During this period, if people want to find friends at night to "life geometry, song to wine", what to do "toast to invite the bright moon, to the shadow into three people" is impossible.
Restaurants under curfew must close before curfew, and if someone violates the rules, it is not as simple as it is in a TV series.
The lightest punishment was also detention, and if the circumstances were serious, it was possible to be directly punished on the spot, until the curfew policy was relaxed in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
During the Song Taizu period, the curfew policy was only opened in the capital city, and in the middle of the Song Dynasty, there was a "three more years, only five more reopened." Like a trick to go, know the endless" scene.
The capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Fenliang, was not only one of the largest cities in the world at that time, but also a city that never sleeps, even in the snowy weather.
The beginning of the nightlife completely liberated the hearts of the people, and compared with the food streets in modern society, it seems that the ancient Beijing city is better than the ancient city.
There are many kinds of food stalls, and the night scene of the capital city in the "Tokyo Dream Record" is quite detailed.
The nightlife of the Song Dynasty was not only about shopping and eating and drinking, but also completely inferior to modern times in terms of spiritual enjoyment. Various recreational activities have emerged in the Goulan Washe.
In a dynasty where the Song Dynasty had a lot of leisure time in the historical dynasty, the annual vacation of officials added up to hundreds of days, which can be calculated to be about 124 days.
This dynasty is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, the society is relatively calm, after the people have money and leisure, there is no curfew at night, naturally began to study a variety of nightlife, in the Goulan House, there is more than cultural and entertainment life, there is also a kind of human existence is lingren, Li Shishi is the most famous among the people.
Perhaps in the minds of many people, the Song Dynasty is not a strong dynasty, poor and weak can be called synonymous with the Song Dynasty, all aspects are not less bullied, but only from the open curfew this thing, the Song Dynasty did a very successful job, so that the people at that time nightlife is not inferior to the level of modern people, is also an admirable thing.
