What kind of occupation was a famous prostitute in ancient China? How does it exist?
In ancient China, prostitutes were a formal occupation, and they were usually skilled. Besides being gifted, they must also know something about medicine and neurology. Kou Zhun, a famous minister in the Song Dynasty, once lamented that "the old man's waist is heavy, and the pillow is cold by accident", and inadvertently revealed the secret of many men at that time, that is, the secret of "waist".

A brothel woman named Lan Xiang seems to know the secret. She is especially good at kung fu around men's waist. "Lan refers to the past, crazy." Business was extremely hot at that time.

According to "Legend of the Old Wulin", vanilla still maintains the status of top hook when she is not confused, which is probably related to her superb "waist" teasing technique.

Yeyu in the Tang Dynasty described such a thing in "Yangzhou Dream", saying that sex workers in Yangzhou like to "fill their stomachs with pearls and jade, and indulge their clients' breasts", which is also true, and it is not groundless.

In the History of Prostitutes in China by Lady Wang, there is a similar record, saying that prostitutes in the Tang Dynasty knew this well and used many methods. Some use spices, some use Dan medicine, honey, fructose and other lubricants. ...

According to a secretary of China Ancient Room Examination, during the reign of Emperor Wendi of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a prostitute in Luoyang who "had a bright ear and a bright eye, and her mouth was full of blood." I don't know if the idiom "eloquent" comes from here, but it seems to have something to do with sex culture.

I have to admire their profound understanding of men's physiological conditions!

When it comes to the word prostitute, it seems that many people treat it with disdain. In fact, many prostitutes have made great contributions to the development of culture, especially the development of sexual culture. They crack the sex code of men's bodies, which is quite literate.

How many "head-binding" did ancient brothel women have? "Tie your head" refers to the income of prostitutes. Su San, a Beijing opera "Yu Tang Chun", said that she is a celebrity in a brothel and many rich guests patronize her. She is wrapped in her head every day, which means that her income is very high. How high is it? Later, Susan was tried in the lobby and had a few words to sing: three hundred and twenty pieces of silver for the first time, drank a cup of fragrant tea and left. The second time I went to the hospital, my son brought thirty-six thousand pieces of silver. In less than a year in the yard, all 36 thousand pieces of silver turned to dust. It is said that the prostitute Wang Jinglong (a Wang Jinlong) gave Susan 300 taels of silver to see him, and then gave Susan three packages. In less than a year, he invested 36,000 taels in the brothel, with an average daily rate of 100 taels.

In the script "Selling Oil Lang to Exclusive Flowers" adapted by Ming Dynasty novelist Feng Menglong, the first night's fee of Wang Meiniang, a famous prostitute in Hangzhou, was as high as 300 taels, which was equivalent to RMB 6,543.8 yuan+RMB 2,000 yuan according to our previous algorithm. After that, every night 10 two silver, equivalent to 4000 yuan. Such a high price is "going their own way" and "the guest is like his city and cannot be idle". Wang Mei Niang secretly saved more than 4,000 taels of jewelry in The Exclusive Flower Head for Selling Oil, while Zhao, a famous prostitute in Yangzhou, secretly saved more than 1000 taels of silver in Another Story by Feng Menglong, and Du Shiniang was in The Furious Box of Du Shiniang.

After redeeming yourself, the remaining jewelry can be filled with a "treasure chest".

At the age of 57, the official Hai Rui was promoted to "Governor of Right Capital, Governor of Grain Storage and Governor of Ten Houses in Heaven". He is a third-grade official, and his position is equivalent to that of Deputy Minister of Supervision. His annual salary is only 265,438+00 Liang, which is not comparable to the private money of a famous prostitute. After Harry's death, his legacy was only 10 more than two silver. Just picking out a piece of jewelry from Du Shiniang's "treasure chest" is more valuable than his legacy.

It can be seen that the income of famous prostitutes in ancient times is much higher than the normal income of most officials, except corrupt officials.
