First of all, prostitutes in ancient times did not sell themselves. There is a strict difference between "prostitute" and "prostitute" in ancient times. Prostitutes specialize in prostitution. These people have no special skills, let alone playing chess and painting. They may not know a word. Not only that, such people are not outstanding in appearance. Prostitutes are different. Although the status of prostitutes in ancient times was also very low, they were particularly talented.
Some of these prostitutes used to be well-educated, but they were forced by life and had to busk in order to survive. Some were trained by brothel owners since childhood and spent money to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Not everyone wants to see a big-name brothel woman. The famous Qinhuai Bayan in ancient China is a famous name in the brothel world.
They are not only self-respecting, but even admirable, such as Dong Xiaowan, a good wife, and Liu, a patriotic woman. Ancient brothel women were always willing to tie a red rope around their waist, which had special significance. Red rope is equivalent to "red line" or "warning line", which means to remind some guests that even prostitutes have insurmountable bottom lines, and another meaning is "keep the red line"
Most prostitutes in ancient times were evil women, eager to meet a man they liked to redeem themselves, be wives and lead a normal life. This is also the common wish of all brothel women in ancient times. Dong Xiaowan, one of the eight beauties in Qinhuai, later married a celebrity who ventured across the border. After marrying Pi Bijiang, Dong Xiaowan and Pi Bijiang share joys and sorrows. Later, Pi Bijiang fell ill, and Dong Xiaowan waited on him day and night. Finally, one day he was tired and couldn't get up anymore.
