When it comes to big health care, the old driver knows what it means at a glance. These appellations refer to people who engage in illegal services under the cover of legal occupation. Of course, these industries are also formal, but they are synonymous with informality. Not to mention cosplay, a familiar word: role-playing. In ancient times, in fact, these services already existed.
Let's talk about several well-known service categories:
Yangzhou thin horse
The so-called thin horse is actually the concubine reserve team being bought and sold. Yangzhou thin horse was recorded earlier, around the end of Ming Dynasty. For example, Guang Zhi Yi, written by Wang Shixing, a scholar in Wanli, has a cloud in Volume II: Raising concubines in Guangling, commonly known as raising thin horses, means taking other people's children and raising them, but they have already given birth. There are many beautiful women in the world, but those who must be in Guangling are all taught by nannies to be strict in boudoir, to learn customs and habits, to be the best in piano, chess, painting and calligraphy, and to be the second in embroidery. As for the tendency to serve superiors and accommodate peers, it is extremely difficult to advance and retreat, and it is not out of line. Therefore, it is not stupid to argue, which wastes people's heart, so I look for a waiter in Guangling.
First invest to buy back beautiful girls from poor families, then adjust their studies, teach them singing and dancing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and then sell them to rich people as concubines or enter the Qin Lou Chu Museum for profit. Because poor women are so thin, the name of thin horse comes from this. When I first bought a virgin, I didn't spend more than ten yuan. You can earn as much as 1520 yuan when you get married. Why are thin horses popular? First of all, things are scarce, because at that time, their asses were big and thin horses could satisfy the tastes of some men. Secondly, salt merchants in Yangzhou monopolized the national salt transportation industry in the Ming Dynasty. They were very rich and had spending power. So at that time, Yangzhou was the most prosperous place to raise thin horses in the whole country. Because of their great fame, all the concubines came to Yangzhou to find them.
Of course, not all thin horses can marry into the rich, and some thin horses that have been selected have to be sent to fireworks Liuxiang. On the Qinhuai River, most Yang Bangyi prostitutes were born thin horses. The first-class thin horse recorded in Continued Jin Ping Mei can be sold for 1500 taels of silver.
Aunt Datong
Mother-in-law is a dialect of northern Shaanxi and Shanxi, which mainly refers to women, while Shanxi mainly refers to wives. And aunt Datong certainly doesn't mean his wife.
If Yangzhou thin horse is characterized by its thin figure and masculine style, then Datong aunt in Ming and Qing Dynasties is famous for her big breasts and fat buttocks all over the country. Like the lean horse breeders in Yangzhou, Mrs. datong county bought beautiful girls from poor peasants in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In addition to teaching piano, chess, painting and calligraphy, they are also required to practice female flattery every day from the age of eight or nine. After long-term training, their pelvis can swing at will. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Aunt Datong was very popular with middle-aged and elderly men because she could make men get sexual satisfaction effortlessly in pornographic activities. Therefore, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was a proverb that Datong had three treasures, aunt, hot pot and fur, and they all went to Hunyuan House (belonging to Datong) and went home to divorce their wives. In the storytelling novels of the Ming Dynasty, it was described that Emperor Raul also went to brothels in Datong, indicating that Datong's aunt had a great influence at that time.
Xihu chuanniang
The boatswain of West Lake has the longest history among prostitutes, which began in the Tang Dynasty. Suzhou and Hangzhou are more attractive because they are paradise on earth. It has been verified that the boatswain of the West Lake has become famous all over the world since Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen toured Hangzhou. Prosperous in the Song Dynasty, Qin Guan called it the West Lake, which was slippery and charming. It lasted until the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China.
The boatman of the West Lake has his own boat, which is called a flower boat in the world. Flower boats are generally divided into two floors, the upper floor is the place where customers stay or stay, and the lower floor is the living room for receiving visitors. The furnishings here are fashionable and can be used by rich officials and businessmen to hold banquets, get together and smoke opium. Accompanied by one or more boat girls from the West Lake. In addition to satisfying their own desires, the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen here are also social places where they conduct secret transactions and bribes in military, political and economic fields.
The boatwomen of the West Lake are nourished by the southern water town. Most of them are petite, beautiful and docile, and they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In addition to providing accommodation for guests, you can also accompany guests to row on the blue waves of the West Lake, that is, the boat floats on the water, accompanied by a boatmaid, which won the favor of literati.
After the Revolution of 1911, the boatswain of the West Lake also wore short hair and hairstyles, short cheongsam, thick white socks and fashionable schoolgirls to attract customers. This is exactly the same as today's senior sister, or the West Lake boatwoman studied by modern people.
Taishan guzi
Not all nuns on Mount Tai were prostitutes in history. As a representative of nuns and prostitutes, Taishan nuns appeared in Ganjia period of Qing Dynasty. This kind of nun prostitute has also appeared in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Lingnan and other places. At that time, in order to consolidate its position, the nunnery had to make friends with powerful people, as described in A Dream of Red Mansions. The right to preside over the nunnery hall gradually fell into the hands of those who have complicated social experience and are good at entertaining and collecting money. Some of them are prostitutes. They let nuns under the age of 30 have long hair, wear laity clothes, put on gorgeous makeup, teach them piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and make them have everyone's demeanor. Because these nuns have both the solemnity and the grace of becoming monks, they are coveted by pilgrims.
"Clearing Money" records: Aunt Taishan, with the same name and place. A woman who is a nun has a full life, but she is good at self-decoration, and tourists are flocking to her. People who worship Mount Tai will also go down the mountain. What is this called? Eat meat? . Classical always fasted, and now he enjoys the gift of delicacies. When the guests arrive, the old nun in the general nunnery goes out first, and the younger nun enters the waiter second. If you stop drinking, you can choose one to stay.
Seeing that the business of nuns' skin and flesh is extremely hot, ordinary prostitutes who were originally located at the foot of the mountain rushed to follow suit and changed brothels into Taoist temples. The prostitutes who leaned against the door also became solemn and simple nuns. There is an ugly play, which is hard to distinguish between true and false.
