There were many emperors in the Han Dynasty, such as Toy Boy, Liang Wudi's mourning emperor and so on. Judging from the existing historical records, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was an ethos of advocating beautiful men in society, and there were many records. Mozi said in "Shang Xian": "The princes love its color and make it. Today's princes are either rich or expensive, and they are all the flesh and blood of princes. They are rich for no reason and have a good face. " Xunzi said in "Flying Elephant": "Today, the secular disorderly monarch, the son of rural music, beautiful and enchanting, strangely dressed in women's ornaments, bloody attitude, meaning women." There is a passage in the Warring States Policy Qin Ce that records such a thing: I want to attack the state of Yu, but I am afraid of the existence of a famous minister of the state of Yu, so Xun suggested giving a beautiful man to me and speaking ill of him. This plan has come true. Palace remonstrated, but did not listen, so we had to run away. Lost the minister and finally died in Kim. From this point of view, in those days, the "beauty" of "honey trap" included both women and men! Before the Han Dynasty in China, it was only a special hobby of princes and nobles, but by the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it had gradually spread to literati and the public, and there were more words to sing peace. During the Tang and Five Dynasties, masculinity gradually declined, and it flourished again in the Song Dynasty. Men openly become prostitutes and gather in romantic workshops to solicit business. In the Yuan Dynasty, the trend of men declined again, and it revived in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Especially in the Qing dynasty, the system of "private accommodation" prevailed, and officials and wealthy businessmen supported each other. These big families buy beautiful little boys for their masters to appreciate, which is called "masculinity", and the children are called "xianggong" or "Gu Xiang". At that time, there was a book in Beijing, similar to a guidebook, which contained a poem chanting "xianggong": "The streets and lanes are winding, the horses and chariots are getting hotter, and the young woman is like a flower. You should be afraid of passers-by fighting and watching the killing, and hang a curtain. " It was not until the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China that this "private house" system was abolished by the actor. According to historical records, after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, there were many "beautiful men" in the harem for Wu Zetian to enjoy. These "male concubines" are called "heads". Zhang Yizhi, Zhang Zongchang, Shen Nan and Xue Huaiyi were all favored by Wu Zetian. There are many channels for Wu Zetian to get her favorite face, and the most important one is from her daughter Princess Taiping. As the daughter of Wu Zetian, the clever Princess Taiping certainly knew the needs of the mother emperor, so she went out to find the so-called "treasure" for her mother and gave it to her. These "babies" have passed the "quality inspection", but they are not handsome guys! It can be said that the noodles sent by Princess Taiping are all hunger and thirst after the martial arts, just like "sending charcoal in the snow". Really like a woman! Zhang Yizhi, Zhang Zongchang, Shen Nan Miao and monk Fan Hui won the favor of Wu Zetian with their "Yangdao Wei Zhaung". These handsome guys are carefully selected by Princess Taiping after her personal experience, and should be "quality and quantity guaranteed". In the records of "having fun" in the Tang Dynasty, it was popular at that time that mother and daughter used a man for everyone to enjoy * * *! In order to please Wu Zetian, some court ministers also looked for her everywhere. In fact, just as male emperors choose beautiful women among the people, they choose men who are handsome and fit in all aspects. After layers of selection, I was elected to the palace, and I looked like Pan An! Of course, as a leader, you should not only have a good appearance and a strong body, but also have the ability of "Wei Zhaung" and take care of Wu Zetian, who is in her sixties. Although Wu Zetian has the skill of keeping in good health, she can still maintain her appearance and charm in her sixties, but she can't get rid of her psychological emptiness and "menopause" temper! The leaders who entered the palace were abused, and the serious ones were tied up by guards within a few days of entering the palace and thrown into the longevity pool of the imperial garden to feed snakes and scorpions. Among the many faces who come to the harem, there are also men who feel good about themselves. According to Old Tang Book, Liu was recommended by his father, and Hou Xiangyun was also recommended. "Liang Bin is a handsome man; Hou Xiangyun, the head of the left jailer, is too strong and too Xue Huaiyi to serve himself in Chennai. " It can be seen that it was a simple way for ordinary people to give a handsome man for the benefit of the whole family! In addition to the recommendations of Princess Taiping, ministers and handsome men, Wu Zetian often sent harem officials to the people to actively collect interviews. It is said that Shangguan Waner, a talented woman at that time, had also accepted such a "special" task. Wu Zetian will teach the selection criteria face to face before Shangguan Waner leaves: a man's nose should be big and straight and strong. Shangguan Waner will, of course, go to the folk to collect interviews according to the standards, which is also an imperial official's business trip. Through these channels, Wu Zetian's harem can be described as "three thousand faces", which can be compared with male emperors! In this way, Wu Zetian's harem has formed many management problems of harem faces. In order to effectively manage many harem faces, Wu Zetian set up a crane control supervisor. The origin of the name crane control supervisor may be related to Wu Zetian's Taoist worship. This kind of crane control prison is "unprecedented, and there will be no one after it", which is a unique harem management institution in the Wu and Zhou Dynasties! Later, Wu Zetian set up a crane supervisor and a general sacrificial officer. Later, Wu Zetian changed the Crane Supervisor to Fengzhen Mansion, which was managed by Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Zongchang brothers. This organizational system is similar to the male emperor's "three palaces and six courtyards", and the Zhang Zongchang brothers are similar to the queens or imperial concubines of the East and West palaces. Wu Zetian intends to institutionalize her privilege, so that men and women are in what she thinks is an equal position in mutual oppression. She established an organization called the Queen's "harem", with Zhang Yizhi as the chief executive, and most of the officials in it were the Queen's Toy Boy and frivolous literati. "For a long time, in the first year (700 years), he changed the control of Hefu to the funeral house and changed to Yuanling." The setting of Kong Hefu was unique in the previous generation, and it was purely one of the palace systems for Wu Zetian to gather men for entertainment in his later years. Besides being "male-friendly" to the Queen, the officials in this government also have an important function: offering sacrifices to the Queen. "Every banquet will make ridiculous officials think they are laughing." At the banquet in the inner hall, the Zhang brothers and military commanders sat down and accompanied the queen to play banyan opera or tell jokes.
