Officials in the Tang Dynasty courted prostitutes and even institutionalized them. It is not surprising that officials will hand over their posts, send all kinds of files and materials, and also send prostitutes: unfortunately, their predecessors are reluctant to take away their favorite prostitutes; The successor readily accepted and lamented that he did not receive a better one.
Bai Juyi was the most famous prostitute among Tang officials. He raised a lot of prostitutes, brought them back to Luoyang from Hangzhou, and sent them back, giving and taking, not taking them seriously. I also exchanged prostitutes with Yuan Zhen and played with each other, which made people very tired.
Being a man is not necessarily the same as being a writer. Look at Bai Juyi's compassion for the poor, and write poems of compassion for women such as Shang Yang Gong and Pipa Xing. Who knows that he is just a person who can't write. You can pick up girls or let us carry your charcoal man, but you can't let us watch you pick up girls while carrying your charcoal man, can you?
Su Fan and Xiao Man are Bai Juyi's house girls. Sue is good at singing, while prostitutes are small and good at dancing. Both of them are famous because Bai Juyi once wrote the famous "Cherry Su Fan Mouth, Willow Small Waist". In fact, Bai Juyi was an assistant minister of punishments and an official at that time. According to the regulations, he can only store three prostitutes, but his domestic prostitutes, except Su Fan, Xiaoman and Cao Chun, are responsible for playing and singing with hundreds of people. He also wrote a poem saying: "The water chestnut embraces Shengchun, and the valley wipes the pipa. Red gauze believes in hand dancing, and purple gauze sings at will. " Ladies and gentlemen, these are his family operas.
Raising prostitutes to support the family has long been the custom in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Wang Qi never makes a fire when her hands are cold in winter. He put his hand into the beautiful prostitute's arms to keep warm. This is called hand warming. Every winter, when Wang Shen suffers from heavy snow and cold, he makes domestic prostitutes sit tightly around him to keep out the cold, which is called the prostitute enclosure. Dr. Dasikong is very rich, so he doesn't need a table to eat, so prostitutes are allowed to stand by each other with a plate. This is called a meat table. Speaking of which, prostitutes in China are really busy. They have to be concubines, singers, dancers and maids, which are related to social activities. The quantity, quality and skills of prostitutes in China often reflect the dignity, economic strength and elegant character of their owners.
Even more exasperating, Bai Juyi wrote in "Chasing Lovers": "Ten years later, the spring crow has become a warbler's tongue, and three times it is too ugly to fly a moth's eyebrow." It means: every three years or so, my domestic prostitutes feel that they are old and ugly, so a group of young prostitutes come in and often change their products, three times a year. Show off oneself publicly. Bai Juyi is old at this time, and Su Fan is small and exquisite, but he is only eighteen or nineteen. Look what this Pulsatilla has done: the concubine of Guan's good friend Rizo is a famous prostitute in Xuzhou. Zhang Cheng died of illness, and Guan was determined to observe the festival for ten years. Bai Juyi actually told me what to do, thinking why not just die a martyr? Guan was an upright man and died of hunger strike ten days later. Maybe Bai Juyi also wants a prostitute to die for herself?
Yuan Mei was originally the first interest middleman in the Qing Dynasty (so, I don't know if Li Yu will fight hard with me, but Li Yu's domestic prostitutes are busy touring to make money, so they have no time), playing chess, painting and calligraphy are all-encompassing, and eating, drinking and having fun is the best in the world. Well, that is to say, the wonderful person who chews peanuts and dried radish together can taste the taste of ham. Compared with Yuan Mei, who is paul fussell's style? Yuan Mei always boasted about how his four concubines were as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade, and the guests were inevitably full of expectations; As a result, as soon as we met, a mouthful of tea almost came out: all of them were stupid, short, dull and extremely mediocre. It seems that there are beautiful women in the cultural population. Just listen to them and don't take them seriously. Su Fan and Xiaoman live in poetry forever, which is good. Even if she is unhappy, compared with her sisters, at least she has left a graceful figure and a yearning.
