How much silver did it cost to visit a green house in ancient times?Does A Moment of Spring Festiva

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-22

The "Green Building" literally, it seems to be a high-rise building made of blue bricks and white tiles.

But in fact, in ancient China, Qinglou was synonymous with brothelsIt is also referred to as the "land of fireworks" in ancient times.

Now when it comes to terms such as "brothels", most people areScoffedTarget.

Because the first impression of the ancient Qinglou is that it is full of oppression and ** transactions, these things are despicable in modern society.

But in ancient China,Qinglou is a favorite place for talented people and literati.

Even the famous great poet - Su Shi has it"A moment of Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold"., and now I also like to write the plot of the Qinglou in the costume drama, and the Qinglou women in the play are also talented ladies.

So, were the brothels of Qinglou in ancient China really so high-spirited?What is there that we modern people don't understand?

Is even Su Shi's "Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold" true?How to know that in ancient times, most people never even saw gold in their lives.

The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold", isn't it an exaggeration?Or is it true that the ancient Qinglou spent money like running water?

In fact, the poem "A moment of Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold" written by Su Shi actually has little to do with the brothel of Qinglou.

If you see the scene depicted in Su Shi's poems, and understand the context of the poem, you will know the wonders.

Just because,The poem is purely intended to describe the beautiful scene of drinking on a spring night.

At that time, Su Shi was drunk and fell among a bush of flowersThe fragrance of flowers is everywhere.

And on the tall building in the distance, there is a singer from a rich and noble family who is playing the pipa, and the sound of the pipa arouses Su Shi's infinite imagination.

Listening to the pipa, blowing the cool breeze by the river, and holding a glass of wine in his hand, at this time, Su Shi sighed, this scene is "worth a thousand gold".

In other words, the original intention of this poem is to exhort people to cherish the beautiful scenery of spring and not to waste time, which has nothing to do with the "Qinglou Spring Festival" made up by later generations.

However, Su Shi's poem is indeed inappropriate to use on the Qinglou, because in ancient times, the QinglouThe average person can't afford to shop.

Here I want to explain that the Qinglou and the brothel in ancient times were two completely different places, and what we call the "Qinglou" at this moment is the place where the talented and beautiful people in ancient times often gathered together to chant the wind and the moon.

It is also a lot of literati whose talents are not appreciated to vent their frustration in their heartsFind a place for spiritual solace.

Here, they usually talk about poetry and songs with the women of the Qinglou, or listen to pipa songs and drink wine to relieve the depression in their hearts.

However, there are also a few romantic talents who really come to the Qinglou to fall in love.

The "falling in love" mentioned here is actually not appropriate, because in a place like the Qinglou, no one will treat another person sincerely.

This is the most serious place in ancient times, most people come here to play with the girls of the Qinglou.

In ancient times, he said that he went to visit the Qinglou,It is also a reflection of his merry and happy side.

Therefore, Qinglou has also become a popular place for ancient literati, and even Du Fu, one of the greatest poets in ancient times, has also had the experience of traveling with prostitutes.

And in the process of traveling, Du Fu sighed at the life experience of the two and wroteUnder the ancient famous article "To Wine".In addition to Du Fu, there are countless poets who have had contact and spiritual exchanges with the women of Qinglou in history.

Qinglou is similar to the current Internet celebrity fieldIt is also a place to meet the social needs of ancient people.

Moreover, women in the Qinglou are also very different from ordinary prostitutes, and in order to enter the serious Qinglou, you must first have a good talent.

The top brand Oiran in modern ancient costumes is generally played with a good pipa or a good guqin, which is similar to the ancient Qinglou womenBecause Qinglou is a place where you don't sell your art.

In ancient times, when many high-ranking families were exiled, the women of the family were often banished to fireworks places such as green buildings.

And they came from a famous familyIt has some artistic talent for playing the piano and writing poetry.

In other words, it is actually very common to be proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting in ancient Qinglou, and the more high-end Qinglou in ancient China, the better the women's talent and appearance.

Oiran often mentioned in ancient TV dramas and **There are indeed people in the green building.

But the Oiran in the TV series often likes to be in the limelight, dancing in public to show off his beautiful appearance and dancing skills.

However, in ancient times, the Oiran was actually "not out of the gate, and the second door was not out", so only the sons and daughters of the princes with prominent backgrounds could have the privilege of meeting each other in the boudoir.

And most of the two of them are also chanting poems and ink, writing two poems and playing two pianos.

Or listen to Wang Gongzi's brother lament the ups and downs of his life experience and career, Oiran admonishes two sentences, and the two of them are drunk before resting, this is the normal state of Qinglou.

So, is the "Spring Festival Moment" in the Qinglou really worth the "daughter"?

If you carefully convert it, it is indeed a lot of moneyAlthough there is no daughter, it is jaw-dropping enough.

Therefore, visiting the Qinglou in ancient times can only be the pastime of the noble son, according to the ancient rules, from the moment he enters the gate of the Qinglou, he has to start paying.

Every step taken in the Qinglou, every sip of tea drunk is a sale, and the hardest currency in the Qinglou is **and**, from the moment the door opens,It's time to start tipping the bustard.

The minimum limit of the reward is also one tael of silver, and the conversion of one tael of silver to the current RMB is about 240 yuan, which is still the lowest limit.

It is also very popular among the ancient sons and brothers, and if the money given is too little when entering the Qinglou, it will also be laughed at by the people who travel with them.

Therefore, most people will not give only one or two pieces of silverIt's about the merrier, and the bustard is naturally happy with this kind of behavior of giving more, and under the coaxing of a few people, the more silver is given.

And in the real Qinglou, there will not be a lot of beautiful women surrounding the door as soon as you enter the door like in the current TV series.

Every prostitute in the Qinglou is worth somethingIt will only appear if you give money, generally invite a talented woman to perform a dance or pipa, and the silver is about 25 taels.

That is, it is equivalent to the current 6,000 yuan in exchange for a song and dance performance.

People who come to visit the Qinglou will definitely not just watch a performance, and after a few hours, 100,000 yuan will be spent like running water.

Not only does it cost money to watch singing and dancing,Even the tea and meals in the brothel are expensive.

At that time, one of the most famous brothels in the Eight Hutongs of the Qing Dynasty had a table of food for about 4,000 yuan now.

If you invite the most popular top Oiran in the Qinglou to perform, then the appearance fee is even more staggering, and the Oiran is invited to performIt's not just about spending money, it's just about gold.

Take the Oiran of the Ming Dynasty as an example, when the Oiran was invited, the hardware had to be handed over first.

This hardware is real **, if you want to see the first card, you will probably have to pay more than 20,000 yuan in modern times, which is just the price of seeing a side, if you want the top card to perform a talent,**It's like ascending to the sky.

In ancient times, ordinary peasants were trapped in the land and had to take care of their own one-third of an acre of land every day, and those who really had time to talk about poetry and songs with the girls in the Qinglou were generally only the children of rich families.

This money may really be nothing to the rich and noble, but the gap between the rich and the poor in ancient China was huge, and for ordinary poor familiesThere may be some people who can't spend so much money in their lifetime.

Therefore, in ancient times, the elegant place of visiting the Qinglou could only be a joke for the rich to sell money.

In ancient times, although it didn't really cost a thousand taels to visit the Qinglou, there were some gentlemen who had nothing to do in the Qinglou all day longThe amount of money you spend in a lifetime can be really a lot of money.

Squandering a thousand taels of ** in such a Fengyue place, without working hard to gain fame and add color to your own life, such a life is absolutely gorgeous but boring, and you can only add distress to yourself.

The poor do not see the light of day, while the rich are drunk in the golden caves of gentleness, and such a dream of luxury can never last long.
