In the ancient Qinglou environment, the existence of strong men was not just to take care of the family and the hospital, they actually played multiple roles and played a vital role in the operation and stability of the Qinglou. These roles and functions reflect the social environment, cultural background, and special nature of the Qinglou at the time.
First of all, as the security force of the Qinglou, the strong man did play a role in maintaining order and protecting the safety of property. They are physically fit and equipped to respond to emergencies and are able to protect the women and property in the building in an emergency. At the same time, their presence can also deter criminals and reduce the risk of infringement of green buildings.
However, in addition to the basic duty of taking care of the home, there are three important reasons why the strong man is in the Qinglou.
First, as the "façade" and "image spokesperson" of the Qinglou, the strong man has played a role in attracting customers. In ancient societies, men tended to have respect and affection for strong, burly figures. The presence of these strong men not only enhances the grade and attractiveness of the green building, but also gives customers a sense of security and trust. This sense of trust helps to increase customer loyalty and return to the building.
Second, the strong man plays the role of "mediator" in the Qinglou. Since the Qinglou is a social place, it is inevitable that some conflicts and disputes will occur between customers, customers and women in the Qinglou. Under these circumstances, the strong man can rely on his majesty and strength to effectively mediate conflicts, calm disputes, and maintain the harmonious atmosphere of the Qinglou. Their presence makes the building a safer and more comfortable space for socializing.
Third, the strong man is also responsible for protecting the safety of the women in the Qinglou. In ancient society, the status of women was low, and Qinglou women were even more disadvantaged. The presence of strong men provides these women with a certain amount of security against being harmed by outlaws. When necessary, the strong man will also step forward to protect the Qinglou woman from bullying and injury. This kind of protection not only reflects the strong man's sense of responsibility and justice, but also strengthens the trust and dependence of the Qinglou woman on the strong man.
To sum up, in addition to taking care of the family, the strong men raised in the ancient Qinglou also played multiple roles such as attracting customers, mediating conflicts and protecting the women of the Qinglou. These roles and functions together constitute the important position and role of the strong man in the Qinglou. At the same time, these reasons also reflect the cultural background of the society at that time and the operational needs of this special place.
