Making money for Yue with the face of stone created a precedent of beauty economy.

Shi was born in Zhuluo Village, Zhuji, Yue State. There are two villages in Zhuluo, and Yiguang lives in the West Village, hence the name Shi. The descendants of Shi live by the Huansha River. Father sells firewood, mother washes yarn, and stone often washes yarn in the stream, so it is also called Huanshaxi.

Zhuji, where Xi Shi Huansha was located, was a square stone with the word Huansha engraved on it. It was written by Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Kong Ling Fu's "Huiji" in the Southern and Northern Dynasties says: Zhuluo Mountain in Zhuji has a West Huansha Stone.

There are also Geographical Records, Ten Records and Jiatai Huizhi: Gou Jian asked the King of Wu for a beautiful woman to present, and got a paid girl named Shi in Zhuluoshan, Zhuji. At the foot of the mountain, there is a stone of Xi Shi Huan Sha.

Scholars of all ages like to write songs and poems. Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "Send Eight Wishes to Huansha Stone East". The poem said: The stone is a woman crossing the stream and the sea of clouds is bright ... Before entering the palace of the King of Wu, the ancient Huansha stone still exists today.

Today's hot beauty economy has actually existed since ancient times. A beautiful face can be made into rice. In China, it existed at least 2,500 years ago. The initiator is stone.

It is said that Shi was the champion of Vietnam beauty pageant that year. On the way to Beijing, pedestrians rushed to watch, causing traffic jams and difficulties. The prime minister who escorted the stone saw this grand occasion and had a plan. He simply asked Shi to live in a gorgeous building in a roadside hotel, and then posted a list everywhere: people who want to see beautiful women pay 1 text.

The notice was posted and caused a sensation everywhere. Stone climbed up the Zhu Lou and stood on the railing, floating like a fairy. The audience lined up in a long line, giving generously, just to see the elegant demeanor of the stone, and some even paid two or three times the money, which was really a never-ending experience. In the past three days, Fan has received countless money. After entering Beijing, he turned over all his money to the state treasury. Therefore, because of their admirable intelligence and morality, the two became friends of life and death. Fan Li's move really set a precedent for the beauty economy of later generations.

Since the Tang Dynasty, it has become fashionable for literati and scholars to get together for banquets, invite * * * as seats (or wine rectification), or offer wine by singing and dancing. This is the so-called escort in the ancient society of China. The citizens are chasing flowers and willows, the businessmen are generous in making money, and the dude is extravagant in spending money, which has created the prosperity of brothels and bred * * *; And * * * and urban life centered on tour and metallurgy in turn promoted the development of industry and commerce and the prosperity of urban economy. In China society, such as Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, Liao, Song, Xia, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, opening brothels and making profits and taxes have always been the most important tax drama in various dynasties.

At present, the booming beauty pageant should be said to be the top priority in the beauty economic chain. In fact, this beautiful event is also ancient. The choice of concubines by ancient emperors was actually a beauty pageant, but it was 100% imperial will and could not be regarded as a real beauty pageant. According to ancient records, a truly organized beauty pageant with rules and regulations and candidates and visitors should have originated in the Song Dynasty, but it was not called a beauty pageant at that time, but called a flower. The object of evaluation is not beauty in a broad sense, but only * * *. This activity is also called flower list. Feng Menglong called Xin Qide, a famous prostitute in Hangzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, "Mrs. based on flowers". * * * When the title is read first, the sound price is ten times ("Notes on the Qing Dynasty").
