Qinglou is a place full of mystery and temptation in ancient times, and now many people only mention these two words, and the scene of red lights, drunken gold, and crowds of flowers will appear in their minds.
It was really a gold cave for men in the feudal period, but it was also a place where women were oppressed.
But in fact, the Qinglou did not originally refer to the Fengyue place, because the brothel is a brothel, the Qinglou is the Qinglou, and the Qinglou simply refers to the attic courtyard with blue bricks and blue tiles.
The earliest brothels can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn period of the pre-Qin period, when Guan Zhong, the prime minister of the Qi state, set up 女闾 (lǘ) in the country.
According to the record in the "Warring States Policy", "Seven cities in the palace of Qi Huan, seven hundred women, and the people of the country", we can know that this line was first run by the government.
And Guan Zhongkai is also for the development of Qi country.
At that time, all countries were trying to compete for hegemony, and Guan Zhong was an economic genius, so he was mainly engaged in the business of Qi countries. Through a series of means, he made the Qi country, which had the benefits of salt and iron, "merchants everywhere and endless exchanges" for a while.
In order to better keep the money of the merchants, and also to prevent people who have nothing to do to disturb social order after they are full, he set up a "female lu".
In this way, not only can businessmen consume in the gentle township of the government-run "Nulu", but also alleviate social contradictions, and contribute to the treasury of Qi, which makes Qi's economy more developed and becomes a good closed loop.
As a result, Qi became the richest country in the Spring and Autumn Period.
The state of Qi took a good start, and the vassal states also followed suit, and the prostitution industry began to spread and blossom in various places, and gradually prospered.
As soon as the market is large, the management will naturally be relaxed, and it will gradually evolve into a place to provide services.
In order to attract customers and do business, the decoration is becoming more and more luxurious, and some of the women served inside were originally the daughters of large families who were reduced to this. Therefore, some people who go to this kind of place to consume and enjoy will say that they will go to visit the Qinglou.
Because the Qinglou used to be a luxury house for large families and princes and nobles, as stated in the Book of Jin, "open the Zhumen in the south and look at the Qinglou in the north", which is a symbol of wealth and nobility.
Over time, people have conventionally referred to the Qinglou as a place of fireworks.
In the development of the past dynasties, the culture of Qinglou has gradually become rich and colorful, and it has become a unique industry in the society at that time.
And the three hundred and sixty lines, different industries have their own field of technical culture and methods, people who have not entered that line, it is difficult to figure out the doorway of that industry, this is the saying that there is a line like a mountain.
There were also many unknown jargon in the Qinglou industry at that time, but as the Qinglou disappeared into the long river of history, these jargon are also known to us. Some of them have even become our mantras long ago.
Today we will take a look at the jargon of the ancient Qinglou women, which we all often say.
"Out"
In ancient times, it was generally the guests who came to the store to consume, and the woman had a special person to manage it, and she only served in the building. However, if a guest likes a woman in the Qinglou, he can spend money to take her out of the Qinglou to accompany and serve him, go out to play or participate in social activities, which was called "out" at that time.
Nowadays, the word "out" has evolved to mean being eliminated in competitions, competitions, etc., and it is still widely used.
"Listing"
In ancient times, there were many women in the Qinglou, and the guests may not be all addicted to the consumption in the store, which requires the women in the business to hang up their name tags, with their names and specialties and approximate expenses written on them, so that the guests can quickly select and determine the target.
Nowadays, the word "listing" is often used to indicate that a business or organization has officially established or started business. Or it refers to the service personnel in some service industries wearing identification with their name, number, position, etc., so that customers can understand their work.
"Job Hopping"
In ancient times, if a man was dissatisfied with the woman he chose, he would propose to change someone to serve him, and this behavior was called "job hopping".
Similarly, a woman who hates the poor and loves the rich, abandons the benefactors who often come to take care of her and finds a new love, which can also be called "job hopping".
Nowadays, "job hopping" is a common word in the workplace. It refers to people looking for new career opportunities, leaving their old jobs and working in another place.
"Open"
In ancient times, the opening market refers to the talent show performed by the women of the Qinglou on the spot to attract more people's attention. The second is that the guests ask the woman to accompany them to simply chat, drink, and sing songs.
Sitting now, the opening is mostly used in the financial industry, stock market trading, and real estate sales in the real estate market.
Of course, in addition to the above words, there are many jargon in the Qinglou industry.
"U-turn" refers to the transfer of a woman from one green house to another at the time, and will be called "U-turn". Nowadays the word is reversed;
There are also "strips", "walking", "upside down", etc., all of which can find their provenance in the black dialect of the Qinglou.
The evolution of these jargon is a profound reflection of social and linguistic changes.
So what are the slang words in the industry you are engaged in?
