Why did China crack down on pornography and gambling?

The struggle of "eliminating evils" is to control the ugly phenomenon that harms the physical and mental health of society, especially teenagers. This is a practical matter that has won the hearts of the people, made contributions to the present and benefited the future.

Cleaning up "spiritual garbage" means cleaning up and banning all kinds of illegal publications that promote obscenity, pornography, violence, feudal superstition and various reactionary contents, commonly known as "eliminating pornography and illegal publications"

Yellow poison is a public hazard and ugly phenomenon in the old society, which runs counter to the socialist lifestyle and moral consciousness. After the founding of New China, the "yellow culture" has been effectively contained and cleaned up.

Since the reform and opening up, due to the infiltration of decadent world outlook, outlook on life and lifestyle of foreign bourgeoisie, many illegal books, periodicals and audio-visual products that promote obscenity, pornographic violence, superstition and even reaction have flowed into some coastal open areas, and they have rapidly eroded inland from coastal areas, causing extremely bad effects.

China's first large-scale "sweeping evil"

When Zhu Zhanji proclaimed himself emperor, the national platform was slack, officials became increasingly corrupt and dissolute, and they indulged in pleasure all day. In order to save this declining country, Zhu Zhanji launched the first large-scale anti-pornography campaign in China on 1429.

After Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, made Jinling his capital, he set up a "state-run brothel" on the Qinhuai River, which was called the quadrangle and later called the old courtyard. According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang personally wrote couplets for this compound:

There are good mountains, good waters, good winds and good months here; It also has beautiful women and beautiful things, adding a thousand years of beautiful vocabulary. There are many stupid men and women in the world who are obsessed with dreams; The situation is even more spoony, and it is several generations of idiots.

These brothels are all over the busy streets of Nanjing. Their names are Laibin, Chongyi, Qingjiang, Shicheng, heming, Zuixian, Jixian, Jipin, Drum Belly, Light Smoke, Danfen, Meiyan, Liu Cui, Heather and Beishi. There are official prostitutes for bureaucrats and literati to guess boxing, order songs and dance.

Brothels are so prosperous that they have developed a flashy world style. At that time, famous scholars and businessmen generally took whoring as an affair, which became a social atmosphere at that time.

At that time, customers were roughly divided into the following categories: elegant literati, ordinary customers and simple customers. Prostitutes are also divided into several types: palace prostitutes, camp prostitutes, domestic prostitutes and secret prostitutes; Geisha is divided into geisha, music prostitute and wine prostitute.

Female prostitutes (private prostitutes) are purely attractive in color, live a life of flesh and blood, and have no skills such as literature, painting and music, not to mention poetry, music, piano, chess and calligraphy, playing and singing. Now the so-called "missing" is also true.

Many dignitaries don't ask about state affairs, indulge in singing and dancing, and have fun; Some celebrities, sages and prostitutes travel and have fun, which makes the rouge of Qinhuai River so thick that it is almost insoluble. People with lofty ideals and talented women with various amorous feelings have staged many unforgettable affairs, and there have also been sad tragedies in the world.
