Why did the three wives and four concubines of the ancient rich man like to visit the Qinglou at night?What is the reason behind it?
In ancient times, it was practiced"Monogamy"with"Concubinage", so in TV series and various history books, we can often see that in addition to the main wife, there are still many concubines around, because of the old concept of male superiority and inferiority of women, so many people are not surprised, regardless of even historical records, after reaching a certain age, the main wife assumes that there are no children, and some women will take the initiative to find a little wife for their husbands.
But in any case, those rich and powerful wives and concubines, or those who are not satisfied, sometimes really often go to one place: Qinglou. I don't say that the place is in **, but the question that arises here is why so many rich people like to go to places where there are usually fireworks, like to go to places where there are dissatisfied wives and concubines at home, and at the same time often like to go to Qinglou at night, why is this?
For socializing. In fact, we can say that in the past, people who had the ability to go to the Qinglou every day did not go out to pass the time, in the past, everyone was rich, or a person with status, and people who reached this level were often the objects of others' salutes.
Therefore, some dignitaries or related interest groups have to take the initiative to tie up with these dignitaries, and the best place to tie up is the greenhouse.
Why?Because there are both wine companies and wine shops here, wouldn't it be wonderful?After all, as the saying goes"The people live on food"γ
Versatile women in the greenhouse.
In fact, some old ladies are also from a bitter background. Some of their ancestors may have been wealthy, but suddenly their families fell into disarray, and one day they had to find a place to live in a brothel.
It's not fate that these women want to go to a brothel, it's that they don't want to sell themselves, so we often hear old ladies say:"Selling your art is not selling your body"γ
Although these women are behind the boss"Cash cow", but these"All-rounder"But it has attracted the attention of a large number of literati, such as"Qin Huai Bayan"γFor example:"Qin Huai Bayan", it is said that all of them are as beautiful as flowers, and they have also attracted many literati and ink writers. Liu Yong, a famous lyricist in the Northern Song Dynasty, likes to visit Qinglou.
Some of the women in the Qinglou were also very talented, and these talents also attracted literati and artists to stay in the land of fireworks.
A status symbol.
Of course, as mentioned above, in the past, it was definitely impossible for ordinary people to go to the Qinglou, you must know that ordinary people can save three meals a day is already very good, how can you think of going to the Qinglou?
Some people go to the greenhouse to show their wealth, to show their identity and status. In the old feudal society, the hierarchy was very distinct. Those who can afford to spend money on greenhouses are rich people. In the old society, people who studied and gained fame were considered to be people of status. Gradually, the greenhouse also became a symbol of social status.
It can be said that the greenhouse is to satisfy the arrogance of some people and show their social status.
Houses are not as good as they seem.
Of course, there is another reason why some powerful people in the old days liked Qinglou women, because in their opinion,"House flowers are not as fragrant as wildflowers"γ
Since the Qinglou woman is accustomed to seeing the world, and since the Qinglou woman is easier to see the deceit in the world than ordinary people, this may be able to soothe the hearts of the dignitaries to a certain extent, and the dignitaries will also reject the favor of the Qinglou woman. Of course, these dignitaries will read countless households, of course, the incense is prosperous, and even some envy of the Qinglou women is not uncommon in history, which can also be said to be an important factor, and many emperors themselves in history also like to visit the Qinglou, such as Song Huizong and Ming Wuzong, which makes people have a style of learning.
Of course, it seems to me that these different reasons of the ancestors are, from today's point of view, distorted reasons. In today's words, he is obviously lustful, but he likes to save face, and he refuses to admit it, and finds a lot of high-sounding reasons to cover up the hypocrisy in his heart.
