"Salon" is a transliteration of the French word Salon, which originally meant the luxurious reception room in the residence of the French elite. Since the17th century, celebrities (mostly famous ladies) in Paris have often turned the living room into a famous social place. Everyone is a playwright, novelist, poet, musician, painter, critic, philosopher and politician. They are like-minded, get together, sip drinks and enjoy elegant music. At the same time, they hold their knees and talk freely about various issues with similar interests. Later, people called this kind of gathering "Salon", which became popular in European and American cultural circles and reached its peak in19th century.
