When it comes to skinny horses, I believe that many people think of a thin horse at the first time, because everyone has learned a poem from the Yuan Dynasty in Chinese textbooks " Days of Jingsha·Qiusi " .
The poem is called " Ancient Road West Wind Skinny Horse ". The whole poem is read, and the picture is very beautiful.
Ancient Yangzhou , also popular "skinny horse" , but this thin horse is not the other thin horse . In ancient times, the thin horse in Yangzhou did not refer to animals and horses, but to humans, which could only be enjoyed by rich people.
This behavior is popular in Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty , but it is very inhumane.
Yangzhou
Yangzhou has been a beautiful and rich place since ancient times, also known as The world canal capital . During the Ming and Qing dynasties, merchants transported goods and walked through the Grand Canal, which led to the economy of Yangzhou.
Due to the large population of exchanges, in addition to legitimate business, other service industries have also emerged here - Brothel .
Ancient businessmen often stayed in Yangzhou, and their families were all in their hometowns, and the business of fireworks places was extremely popular.
Some people don’t like brothel women, and think they are affected by too many people , and want to point women who only serve themselves and not share with others.
So there was a madam who specially cultivated "prey" for the rich people with special requirements. The industry of raising thin horses gradually emerged.
Skinny horse may be a woman kidnapped by a human trafficker, or a young girl from a poor family who was sold to a brothel by her parents.
After the madam received it, she began to train them in to teach them singing and dancing, playing the piano, etc. .
Since most women come from poor families, they have long-term malnutrition and look very thin, so they are called "slim horse" .
And the thin horse also has the meaning of insulting a woman, implying that her has no dignity and personality, and can bully and play with at will. Just like a horse, uses whatever she wants, and will beat and scold her if she doesn't obey.
In order to keep the thin horses slim figure, the madam will not give them full , so she let them hungry and receive difficult training.
You must pay attention to your demeanor when playing the piano, and your sitting posture, movements and expressions must be in place to make people like it.
. People who keep nervous for a long time will be very tired. After practicing for most of the day, people are tired and don’t want to talk. In addition, they are hungry and the life of a thin horse is difficult, you can imagine how difficult it is.
In addition to talent practice, the most important thing about is to master the method of pleasing men . Unless the fireworks women who have been tempered and have practical experience, those teenage girls don’t know how to even serve a tea, let alone show their charm.
The madam can only teach repeatedly. If it is not done well, it will start over. If it is not done well, it will be punished. If it is not allowed to eat and drink water, close the woods, beat it up, etc.
When you encounter someone who is really disobedient, you will beat the body to death and throw it out of the city, and let the beast eat it.
Therefore, the little girls will practice hard to save their lives. I hope that after receiving customers, can be taken by a rich businessman boss, redeem her for her, and marry her back to be a concubine. It is also a good .
The ancient concubines had a very miserable fate. They could not enjoy wealth and glory by entering a wealthy family. The concubine has no status at home, so she can only be better than the maid.
The life of being favored was slightly better, but it was always suppressed by the family. The children who gave birth had to call the family mother. The owner was unhappy and could buy and sell them at will. It was really like buying a horse, as he wanted.
Special product in special environment
In ancient times, the soil and water of Jiangnan raised people, produced a large number of beauties, Yangzhou's "slim horses" were famous, and more and more wealthy businessmen came to Yangzhou to hunt for curiosity.
When you are in a good mood, ancient wealthy businessmen would spend a lot of money. Over time, these extremely sensitive businessmen also came here to open brothels and raise thin horses, and the industrial chain was gradually formed.
There are some skinny horses, but they really can't train them, and the madam cannot keep them. They lose money, so they sell directly to the brothel to pick up customers.
The girls there are all kinds of different levels. No matter how good they look, whether they will please customers or not, they have business, but it is just a difference of how much money they make.
And the highest-level thin horse, the madam will not sell it easily. Although this type of woman is of low origin, she is outstanding in appearance and can do everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
people are gentle and obedient, have good temperament, and look like a lady from a family . Literary and scholars and big bosses like this type the most because they can take it out and take it out to support the scene.
Naturally, these thin horses have the best fate. They can live a few good years, but they will never be able to return to normal life.
Normal people will not marry a thin horse. is abandoned and no one takes over. He has no ability to survive. He can only continue to make a living by selling his beauty.
can save some money to leave the fireworks land, and it’s okay to do some small business by yourself, but most women, , end up being either sold to a low-level brothel or being a slave.
Slim horse industry actually exists in the country. Why is Yangzhou the most famous?
Because during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the salt industry was monopolized by the government, and the court established the ", both Huaihei, salt transportation " in Yangzhou.
, the salt management agency, is the position of "Salt Censor " and is also an exclusive official position in the Lianghuai region of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Therefore, the merchants who do salt business gathered in Yangzhou.
There is a supply when there is demand. There are many beauties, but there are not many beauties who are talented and charming. So, the industry of Yangzhou Slim Horse became prosperous.
