Zhou Fang, a great painter in the Tang Dynasty, saw this kind of "secret painting" in the Song Dynasty after "The Secret of the Spring Festival Evening". Zhao, a painter in Yuan Dynasty, is also famous for this painting. The widespread popularity of erotic paintings was in the Ming Dynasty, and it was also the product of rebellion under the harsh conditions of sexual imprisonment and oppression. Because erotic painting has such strong sexual stimulation, its positive and negative effects are very prominent. It can lure some people, especially curious and imitative teenagers, onto the road of sexual intercourse. It can also be used for sexual therapy and sexual stimulation. Until now, it is one of the tools of sexual therapy. Of course, its transmission range should be strictly controlled.
In ancient China, erotic paintings had the functions of sex education, sexual enlightenment and sexual excitement, and had the function of "restraining evil and avoiding disasters". The ancients thought that sex was dirty and unclean. For example, if you put a picture of the erotic palace on the door, ghosts will not dare to go in. If you stick it on the stove, you can avoid fire and so on.
There is a description in A Dream of Red Mansions that the erotic palace is used for fire prevention. Ye Dehui, who compiled a series of Double Beauty Classics in the late Qing Dynasty, also liked to use erotic pictures to prevent books from being damaged. In ancient China, there was also a kind of porcelain used for sexual intercourse between men and women, called "closet bottom", which also played the role of the above-mentioned "exorcism" and sex education tools. The so-called "closet bottom" has a secret meaning. The mother showed it to her daughter on the eve of her wedding. Second, the ancients thought that imps could steal everything in the box without opening people's cages. With the "closet bottom", the kid will hide and dare not come.
In the Ming Dynasty in China, spring paintings were very popular, and even ladies liked to paint on them. Amin Xu Shu also wrote a book called Little Book. It says that Yushan is a forest word with the highest official position. My son married a woman in the county, but there is only one beautiful woman, and the family is full of young men. Shilu and Shicheng will kill the young man, and their son will defect. Sicheng is used to being ill. His daughter-in-law can draw pictures and her characters are excellent. The erotic palace in the late Ming Dynasty is still excellent. Spring Palace painting is very popular not only in Beijing and Tianjin, but also in the beautiful south of the Yangtze River. Selling summer pictures in the south of the Yangtze River is regarded as the latest masterpiece of erotic paintings in the Ming Dynasty. It was about 1640- 1650. The design level is very high, the human posture description is accurate and delicate, and the environment description is unique. Of course, the ancient erotic palace was also divided into 369 grades. Zhang Heng, a scientist in Han Dynasty, occupies a high position in the history of sexology in China.
