Why did the Ming people put up erotic palace pictures on their doors?

By the Ming Dynasty, not only a large number of literary works with the theme of sex appeared, but also the art of sex reached a peak, among which erotic palace pictures were an outstanding performance. Erotic pictures are pictures depicting the sexual life of men and women, especially various sexual intercourse postures. It was originally produced in the palace. It is called erotic palace because it describes a palace on a spring night. The Secret Map of Spring Night, which was traversed by Zhou Fang, a great painter in the Tang Dynasty, appeared in the Song Dynasty. Zhao Meng, a painter in Yuan Dynasty, was also famous for painting this kind of painting. The erotic palace painting was widely popular in the Ming Dynasty, and it was also an inverted product under severe sexual imprisonment and oppression. Because erotic painting has a strong sexual stimulation effect, its positive and negative effects are very prominent, which can lure some people, especially the curious teenagers who are good at imitating, to go astray. It can also be used for sexual therapy and sexual stimulation. Until today, it is still one of the tools of sexual therapy. Of course, its spread should be strictly controlled. In ancient China, erotic paintings played the role of sex education, sexual revelation, sexual excitement and evil spirits. The ancients thought that sex was an unclean thing. For example, if you put a picture of erotic palace on the door, ghosts will not dare to enter, and you can avoid fire by sticking it on the stove. There is an erotic picture in the book that is used to prevent fire. Ye Dehui, who printed A Dream of Red Mansions in the late Qing Dynasty, also liked to use erotic pictures to prevent the disaster of books. In ancient China, there was also a kind of ceramic ware in the shape of copulation between men and women, called closet bottom, which also played the role of the above-mentioned evil spirits and sex education tools. The so-called closet bottom, a secret meaning, is that the mother showed it to her daughter on the eve of her wedding. Second, the ancients thought that kids could steal all the property boxes without opening people. With the bottom of the box, the child dodged and dared not come. There is a passage in the series of "Double Beauty Classics" written by Shen Defu, an ancient Xiushui, which explains the origin of the painting of the Spring Palace: from the beginning of the painting of the Spring Palace, it began when the King of Han Dynasty spread a picture of men and women in the palace and invited his father, brother and sister to drink to make them look up. After Qi, the emperor was abolished on the walls of pavilions in Pan Fei, showing that men and women secretly insulted each other. Yang Di's black bronze screens, daytime dramas and palaces, everything. When it was built, Liu went down to the temple and said that there were several emperors at that time. When you get to Wuhou, use adultery. Yang Yashiyun: There are many dark dramas of youth in the mirror hall. Jade muscles take pictures, shadows rub against each other, willow waves smile desperately in the sky, and the team bathes and waves. And the secret drama can do anything. After painting, it can generally be a model of the Qi Dong stupa, but the masonry of the ancient tombs in the Central Plains is like this, sometimes it is positive, so everyone is different. In the inner court, some people entered from other places, and some were left behind by clouds. Two Buddha statues, each with a wreath, are neatly dressed and embrace each other. The two of them can make do, but they still have roots to move. You can see several places. Dayun, when the emperor gets married, he must first import it into this temple. On the weekend, I invite you to touch the hidden place, hand in the law silently, and then carry out a ceremony to take care of Ruibing's simplicity. There is someone outside the market today. Exquisitely made. It's not run by China, and the price is not expensive, but it's much smaller than that in the inner court. Most poets in the capital are old-school velvet weavers, old and new. Fujian people are all carved with ivory and ruddy as life. After several generations, it is worse than the grotesque changes in paintings. Those who are good at this technique have master Qiu before and after. Nowadays, there are many fakes, but it is easy to distinguish between elegance and popularity. Japanese painting is m.

At the same time, in Japan, China and China, most of the ancient sexual customs have been lost, but they are still preserved, especially in the bride's dowry, there is a pornographic palace map that still exists in the19th century. In the history of China, erotic books with erotic pictures describing various sexual intercourse postures obviously existed before the 6th century. Xu Ling, a famous litterateur in the Chen Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, wrote in a letter to his friend Jean: I am glad that it still retains Han people in China. When I got home, my eyes were full of laziness. This doesn't mean that I have all the immortal figures in Nong Yu, but I don't. I don't have Meng Guang's hidden features. I like pitching very much. I am very proficient in the classic works of ordinary women. I tried my best to learn the technique of Xuanyuan Huangdi. Although I I came in again, I I'm not alone. The general idea of this paragraph is: I feel very comforted after reading your big letter. You have returned to Tianmu Mountain and lived a leisurely life. Now you have a woman like Nong Yu to spend your immortal years with you, and a wife like Meng Guang to spend your retirement years with you. According to Motome's instructions and the sexual intercourse chart displayed by the Yellow Emperor, you can have sexual intercourse freely in various postures. Although you live in a thatched cottage, you shouldn't sleep alone. Not so good, is it? Judging from this passage, it seems certain that there were instructions for sexual intercourse at that time. The pictures of the Tang Dynasty were widely circulated, and my broom Zhai Tan Nian also had synchronous songbooks in his spare time, but these materials have been preserved until modern times. Of course, the main purpose of erotic painting is to provide sexual appreciation and stimulate sexual interest. For this, there are also some records in the sex novels of the Ming Dynasty. For example, Weiyangsheng of Su Nvjing wanted to stimulate her with erotic paintings because his wife Yuxiang was indifferent to her sex life. Weiyangsheng felt bitter when he saw that he had no vivid interest, so I had to spend some time trying to cultivate him. Tomorrow, in the painting and calligraphy shop, I will buy a unique erotic pamphlet written by a bachelor with a degree in Zhao Ziang. There are 36 paintings, all of which mean spring in the 36th house of the Tang Dynasty. Take it back and read it with Miss Yuxiang. As you can see, I don't want to make these men and women copulate. The ancients have done it first. The existing process is verification. Yuxiang looked at the album of Erotic Palace. At first, her face flushed, thinking that she had defiled the boudoir and let the maid burn it. After repeated mobilization and explanation by Wei, Yuxiang was gradually affected. Since the second half of the Ming Dynasty, erotic paintings have been very popular. At that time, famous painters in this field included Tang Yin and Chou Shizhou. Tang Yin's name is Bohu, and another name is Awe. No.6 is a layman, the owner of the Peach Blossom Temple, and a monk. Wu county people again. He became friends with Shao, studied painting with Chen Zhou, and later became friends with Shen Zhou, Zhu Yunming and others. To learn from each other's strengths, in terms of literature and art, history books record that he is a romantic genius with excellent poetry, calligraphy and painting; He is unruly in sex, and sometimes he is printed by the first romantic scholar in Jiangnan, but his official career is doomed. Later, he traveled to famous mountains and rivers, devoted himself to painting, and made a living by selling paintings. He is good at portraying characters, especially playing a lady. The erotic palace he painted is the expression of his unrestrained character, which has a lot to do with his life interest, and may also be a satire and resistance to the hypocrisy of the officialdom society and feudal ethics at that time. Some people say that he takes his beloved prostitute and mistress as nude models, which is why his erotic palace is so vivid. Tang Yin is comparable to Chou Ying. Chou Ying, a native of Taicang, now lives in Suzhou. He was a craftsman, and later came to Chen Zhou to study painting, and was praised by Wen Zhiming, which made him famous all over the world. He mainly sells paintings for a living and is also famous for painting erotic paintings. He painted couples in full clothes and naked men and women. In the first volume of the Picture of the Palace of the Ming Dynasty, it is pointed out that he drew a set of ten honors, that is, ten different sexual intercourse postures, but these paintings have not been handed down. As for Tang Yin's erotic paintings, there are many records in later generations.

Chou Ying likes to meet slim, slim, oval-faced beauties, wear long skirts, and is especially good at painting palace scenes. The women painted by Tang Yin are burly, plump and coquettish, reminiscent of the beauties of the Tang Dynasty. The women painted by Tang Yin are characterized by three whites, that is, a little white forehead, a little white nose and a little white chin, which is often the standard painting for future generations to distinguish between true and false Tang Yin. In the Ming Dynasty in China, spring painting was popular, and even people with good families liked to paint it. In the Ming Dynasty, Xu Shu also wrote the kstmj cloud: Yushan is a forest word, and the official is a big company. Marry a woman from a county, beautiful and talented, and become a teenager as soon as possible. Lou, Cheng Si will kill the boy, but his son will oppose him. Habit has become a disease. Her son can draw and write well, and the erotic palace is still excellent. In the first century AD, sex books, such as Dong, were already illustrated. As can be seen from the songs of the same period, in the Han Dynasty, the erotic palace map was the bride's dowry, which was used to guide the couple's sexual life. This painting, called "Daughter Picture", is also circulated in later generations. At that time, the poor women in Yangliuqing, Tianjin were also good at this. Every year before the Spring Festival, they sell spring pictures as New Year pictures in the market. This is the famous daughter Chun. Spring Palace paintings in the late Ming Dynasty were popular not only in Ishii and Tianjin, but also in Jiangnan. It is considered to be the latest typical painting of the colorful erotic palace in the Ming Dynasty, and the time is about 1640 to 1650. The design level is very high, the description of human posture is accurate and delicate, and the description of the environment is original. Of course, in ancient times, erotic pictures were divided into 369. Zhang Heng, a scientist in Han Dynasty, occupies a high position in the history of sexology in China. Most of these ancient erotic paintings depict the body, manners and psychology of men and women in detail, which can reflect the ancient people's profound understanding of the sexual reaction of men and women. It fully reflects the reality of human sexual physiology and psychological response. In 1960s, two American doctors, masters and Johnson, published a book "Joy of Yin and Yang in Heaven and Earth" after a lot of research, and put forward a famous four-cycle theory of sexual response, which was considered to be true. In fact, the basic idea of this theory has been fully reflected in China's ancient books from 2000 to 3000 years ago, and also in the paintings of the ancient erotic palace. According to Gao Luopei's "Su Nv Jing Nian", the paintings of the Spring Palace in Ming Dynasty are usually mounted in the form of banners, scrolls or whirlwind folding albums. The former is mostly a continuous picture of male and female sexual intercourse, drawing various postures of sexual intercourse. This kind of hand roll is about 10 inch high and 10 to 20 feet long, and the drawing paper usually does not exceed 8 square inches; They are a group of about 24 pictures, a group of 36 pictures or other graphics. Each group of pictures has its own allusions, and the back of each picture is lined with a piece of paper or silk page with colorful poems written on it. Hand-rolled Zi Ling, ancient brocade head protector, jade carving or ivory carving, the last needle is not tied; The album is sealed with wooden plywood or cardboard with ancient brocade. In a word, binding is very particular. These erotic paintings are popular not only in the palace, but also in the homes of bureaucrats and gentry, and also in folk shops. This is the difference between erotic paintings in Ming Dynasty and erotic paintings in past dynasties. Because of its wide popularity and great demand, some publishers have made great efforts in printing and their technology has reached a high level, especially in the late Ming Dynasty. Gao Luopei thinks that the best color record is from 1606 reprint to 1624, with five colors. These paintings represent the heyday of color painting, which has only been popular for about 20 years. 1644 after the establishment of the Qing dynasty, this art was completely extinct.
