In ancient times, especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many talented women were born in brothels. In fact, this is not accidental, but inevitable. Why do you say that? You know, brothels in ancient times were different from brothels. Although prostitutes have a bad reputation, most of them are children of poor families.

Anyway, let's see why there were so many talented women in brothels in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. What famous talented women were there?

First, brothels in ancient times were different from brothels. They are mainly street performers, paying attention to skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, which is why scholars of all ages tend to linger in brothels. In ancient times, there were obvious differences between brothels and brothels. Many children from poor families are sent to brothels at an early age and trained from an early age. They are not only proficient in poetry, music, piano, chess and calligraphy, but also polite. Since the Ming Dynasty, under the influence of Zhu's thought, women who have no talent are virtuous, and women who have been confined in cabinets for a long time are seriously bound by their thoughts, and there are very few folk talented women. On the other hand, brothels are unconstrained and educated since childhood, which has also made many talented women in brothels in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Second, take stock of talented women in brothels in the Ming and Qing Dynasties! Although she comes from a brothel, she is as talented as a man. As the old saying goes, women don't let men! You know, brothels are all dignitaries, and literati like traffic places. They have high taste and literary talent, and the matching prostitutes must also have corresponding talents. Therefore, brothel women have been trained in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs since childhood, and they are proficient in everything.

Yuan Mei, a famous scholar in Qing Dynasty, once said: Emperor Wu of Qi painted blue paint on the starlight building, which is called a brothel? And pointed out:? It is wrong to treat brothels as brothels today. ? Visible,? Brothel? It turned out to be the palace where the emperor lived, and the brothel was different from the brothel.

Take care of the city first, then the country. I'd rather not know the whole city and country, and it's hard to get another beautiful woman. This talented woman is Chen Yuanyuan, who becomes the heroine of beauty in a rage. Chen Yuanyuan, formerly known as Xing Yuan, was round and her parents died young. Later, she was sold to Suzhou Liyuan. Because Chen Yuanyuan was smart since he was a child, he quickly made his mark after learning poetry, songs and operas in the Liyuan. After starring as the matchmaker in The West Chamber, her elegant and brilliant temperament is unbearable.

On the contrary, getting rid of the concept that women are virtuous and have no talent, and training piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs from an early age created a large number of talented women in brothels, such as Liu and Chen Yuanyuan, which became a common phenomenon in society at that time.
