Many times, the brothel we understand is a brothel, but it is not. There have been many literati in the brothel. If the brothel is placed in our modern times, it is an advanced consumption place. ? Brothel? We can understand its meaning literally first, that is, the building built with blue bricks is the representative of wealth and luxury. At first, this brothel was actually the place where some concubines lived in the homes of dignitaries, and later it developed into a brothel, which was also the place where men had affairs.
Brothel was not a vulgar place in the early days, but the furnishings inside were very exquisite. It consists of many courtyards, not only planted many flowers and trees, but also decorated with all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is very beautiful. And the woman in it is not a prostitute in our understanding. Most of them are geisha, that is, those who sell art and don't sell themselves. Chen Yuanyuan, Li Shishi and Su Xiaoxiao, whom we are familiar with, are all famous geisha, and they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs. Their lifestyle is very elegant and full of artistic flavor. They are really beautiful and talented women.
So think about it, which man doesn't like such a woman, so in ancient times, those literati all liked to go to brothels. They go there for tea, and all the people who can go in are people with unusual identities. They like romantic freedom, and sometimes their feelings can't be vented. It's just a way to find their confidante, chat with them and have a drink.
