The so-called Kunlun slave refers to the black people in the south of Linyi country. Some historians believe that Linyi and Champa have deep roots, while Champa is located in the southern part of Vietnam today. Therefore, modern historians believe that there are two possibilities for the origin of slaves in Kunlun: one refers to the brown and black people in Indonesia and other places today, and the other may be the people who arrived in Malaysia from Africa. The advantage of Kunlun slaves is that they are very hardworking and strong. Therefore, wealthy families in Chang 'an and other cities in Tang Dynasty will choose Kunlun slaves as their first choice when choosing manual labor.
The so-called Silla maid. It refers to a handmaid from Silla. Silla was a vassal of Datang at that time. Even in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, when Silla was suppressed by Goguryeo, King Silla sent messengers to ask the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to intervene.

These women are very similar to the bodhisattva in the temple and very beautiful, so they are called "Bodhisattva Men".
Bodhisattvas are also a group with special skills-for example, bodhisattvas are mostly beautiful women who can sing and dance well, so they won the favor of dignitaries in the Tang Dynasty. For a time, raising bodhisattvas to perform songs and dances at home became a fashion in the upper class of the Tang Dynasty. However, the influence of An Shi Rebellion led to the decline of national strength in Tang Dynasty.
