1. The romantic emperor Sui Yang once selected beautiful women from all over the world, and all the beautiful ones were shortlisted. One from a hundred was selected, and thousands of beautiful women were selected as concubines to serve in the palace.

In 617 AD, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went to Yangzhou to see Qionghua, and he brought thousands of beauties from his harem with him.

Emperor Yang was assassinated in Yangzhou, the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, and the world was in turmoil.

Thousands of beauties settled in Yangzhou, got married, had children, and multiplied.

, celebrities in the art world and famous brothels flocked to her like ducks.

So some big salt merchants came up with the idea of ??choosing some girls from poor families (just spend a little money, the poor families can't afford them, so giving them away is just giving them away, and selling them is really helpless, and the people who buy them are lucky)

She must be smooth-tongued and swear steadfastly), which requires regular facial features and rosy skin. In common parlance, she is a beautiful woman.

When you buy it back, you will spend a lot of money to hire someone to cultivate its chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, so that its temperament, culture, cultivation and skills can be integrated into one body.

Finally, they are sold to a brothel (but such women are usually the queens of brothels, and the appearance fee is very high, and they are not selling their bodies).

Hence the poem "With a hundred thousand guan in my pocket, riding a crane down to Yangzhou", it actually means spending money and being free and unrestrained.

"After ten years of dreaming about Yangzhou, you will win the lucky reputation of a brothel" is a similar saying.

The beauty of Yangzhou once made many people dream about it. Although it is no longer unique, it still makes people daydream.

Yangzhou beauties are the eternal dream lovers in the hearts of Chinese people.
