Ancient greenhouse is the place of fireworks, ancient men in the greenhouse are doing what?

In our impression, the greenhouse is the place of the fireworks, serious people will not go to the place, but in fact this place is really like the movie and television works described that? In fact, not really, in ancient times, men to go to the greenhouse, not necessarily to find physical pleasure.

The green house, from the name is not a very vulgar place, and even put aside personal concepts, look at the name and a touch of elegance. In fact, the beginning of the green house does not refer to the brothel, but the rich and noble people's green house, where live basically are the owner's wife and concubines of the family prostitutes. But later, as history evolved, the word came to be used to refer to places of smoke and willow.

The women in the greenhouses are not necessarily so bad as we think, some of them only sell their art but not their bodies, and only a very small part of them will sell their bodies, this kind of actually has a very low status in the greenhouses. Moreover, there is no shortage of talented women in the ancient greenhouses, and the customers they face are not brown men, but often some literati and dignitaries. Especially the literati, the Tang and Song dynasties often have stories of literati and women in greenhouses admiring each other.

For the literati, most of their pursuit is still relatively elegant, the ancient literati is a stubborn force, pay great attention to their own reputation and cultivation, that they are readers, is a modest gentleman, so it is often will not go to the greenhouse and the greenhouse women to have a relationship. They come to the green house more often than not to drink tea, and then enjoy the green house singers, dancers sing and dance, or to find talented green house women, together with poetry and poetry, the wine talk about happy . After enjoying the talent and waving it around, they would rarely stay for the night, and would all go home having a good time.

And for ordinary men, it was actually a good place to escape from reality. Most marriages in ancient times were marriages arranged by parents, so both parties almost talked a lot about how happy they were after marriage, and in most cases they just got together in a bunch to live their lives. After the marriage of the male feel tired, will run to the green house to find a young and beautiful women to tell their hearts. For the ancient male, and the wife of the family either respect each other, or wife because of the housework has long been old, for the ancient man used to three wives and four concubines, naturally, want to have a fresh feeling. And the women of the green house is the most good is to play, rich charm, so some men in order to escape from reality, came to the map of the smoke and willow a moment of fun.

There are also some like Li Bai such a literati, official disappointment, life is not good, so like to go to the greenhouse detached from reality, the whole day on the drinking poetry, wine and liquor, will be completely paralyzed . Although we all know that the women in the greenhouse is false, but many are looking for a relief.
