What is a salon?
The word "salon" generally refers to a larger living room. "Salon" comes from Italian and refers to a room decorated with artworks. It was introduced to France in the17th century and was originally the name of the Louvre Gallery. In the future, talking about art, playing cards and chatting while enjoying art will gradually become popular. French literati and artists often accept the hospitality of aristocratic women and chat in the living room. Therefore, the word "salon" has become not a room for displaying works of art, but more a place for such a gathering and discussion. In the 17 and 18 centuries, France, as a salon of social places, had a great influence. At that time, books were not as popular as they are now, and various propaganda tools were not developed. Some scholars often recite their new works in salons, which provides them with opportunities to publish their works. In the salon, people also spread information, create public opinion, learn intelligent language from rhetoric, and gain insight into conscience. So the salon is also a good opportunity to observe the characters. After entering the18th century, the nature of the salon has changed. What is discussed in the salon is not literature and art, but politics and science. Sometimes there are radical remarks, so the salon at that time often became a hotbed of revolution. Soon, Sharon developed a club that only discussed political issues. It is not uncommon to use the name salon in art exhibitions now, but salon is usually represented by salon, which roughly means a party or a place where many people chat and communicate. It is often used as a synonym for hairdressing salons in China.
