Chapter 2800 Eight Hutongs
Front door?
This is actually the front door?
Lu Fei said that the dilapidated city gate in the photo turned out to be the Zhengyang Gate, a landmark building in today's capital. Wang Xinyi and Chen Xiang's eyes widened at the same time, feeling incredible.
Especially Chen Xiang, she is a native of Tiandu and is most familiar with Qianmen.
She really couldn't imagine that such a prosperous front door would be so desolate a hundred years ago. This was so unexpected.
Lu Fei patiently told them about Qianmen's ill-fated experience and the entire process from desolation to prosperity. The two girls immediately became interested and took a magnifying glass to watch carefully.
"Husband, what era is this?"
"Twenty-three years of Guangxu."
"Is that big copper pot in that stall selling big bowls of tea?"
"That's right, it's almost the same as the one in Tiandu Teahouse now."
"Husband, people in that era were so thin!"
"Nonsense, having a full meal is just a luxury, why do you still expect to have three highs?"
"puff!!"
"Mr. Lu Fei, please pay attention to the way you speak."
"Uh, okay!"
"Huh?"
"Why is that little friend kneeling on the roadside?
Also, why did he put a straw in his head? "
The two girls were interested and asked questions one after another. Lu Fei patiently explained them to them.
When they talked about the happy place, the two women laughed, talked about the sad place, and felt desolate. Finally, when they talked about cutting grass and selling it as a slave, Chen Xiang burst into tears and Lu Fei was also speechless. It was just a photo. As for No?
Also, you are so kind, why do you treat me like that?
This is unfair!
Next, the two girls turned into curious babies, admiring one picture after another, and Lu Fei explained each one.
After all, Chen Xiang is from Tiandu, and there are very few things that she can recognize, especially those century-old brands. Chen Xiang knows all the treasures and shows off her superiority in front of Wang Xinyi with a smile.
Unknowingly, I had seen several sets of photos, and the year had changed from the 23rd year of Guangxu to the 32nd year of Guangxu. At this time, a photo aroused Wang Xinyi's curiosity.
"Eight alleys?"
"Eh}Why are there people taking pictures here?
Disgusting! "
Wang Xinyi's face was full of contempt, and Chen Xiang also frowned.
The background of the photo is Rouge Alley in the Bada Hutong, and the close-up shot is the "Chun Man Lou" which was quite famous in Rouge Hutong at that time. Two beautifully dressed people, but their looks are terrifying.
Human "girls" stood on both sides of Chunman Building to solicit business, and an old man on crutches walked toward the door with a smile.
As for what the old man was going in for, everyone knew, which was why the two girls despised him, but Lu Fei was quite calm.
"What's your expression?
What happened to Bada Hutong?
The place of prosperity is also a kind of culture. You all know Shang Yang, but you may not know that Shang Yang is the founder of this industry. At that time, this industry was the most important part of the national tax revenue.
Don't dislike women in the sex industry. Most of them can't help themselves. As the saying goes, people who laugh at poverty don't laugh at prostitution. As long as there is a way, how many of them are willing to do that kind of business?
Also, don’t think of Bada Hutongs when you mention them. In fact, Bada Hutongs were not exclusive to this industry at first, but were gathering places for theater troupes. "
Speaking of the rise of the Eight Hutongs, it’s time for Emperor Qianlong to make his debut again.
An important reason for the formation of the prototype of the "Fengyuechang" in the eight alleys is that during the Qianlong period, Hui troupes came to Tiandu and stayed in Hanjiatan and Baishun Hutong among the eight alleys. After that, Sixi, Chuntai and other opera troupes came to Tiandu one after another and stayed there respectively. Among the eight major hutongs are Baishun Hutong, Shaanxi Lane and Litieguai Street.
Therefore, there is a saying in heaven: "People never leave the road, tigers never leave the mountains, and opera singers never leave Baishun and Hanjiatan."
It can be seen that the Eight Hutongs are inextricably linked to the formation and development of drama, especially Peking Opera.
Since prostitution was banned in the Qing Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrats had been having sex with girls to support their families since the Ming Dynasty.
And so the Hui class disciples who come to Tiandu are boys, and the beautiful ones among them are usually male dans. Their residence is also where they teach opera, and each master's residence has a hall name, such as Mei Lanfang from Zhu Aiyun's Yunhe Mei Qiaoling runs Jinghetang, Cheng Changgeng lives in Sizhentang, and Tan Xinpei’s Yingxiutang is located in Bada Hutong.
During the Jiaqing period, the Xianggong emphasized color rather than art. Later, after Tongguang, when the masters represented by Sandingjia became more sophisticated and successful in art, gradually the Xianggong, a child actor, also valued both sex and art.
It can be said that the prosperity of the Eight Hutongs in the Qing Dynasty was entirely due to the ducks being in love with each other.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government had too much to take care of itself and could no longer control this "entertainment" industry. Only then did the bold bosses begin to make changes and reforms, gradually replacing ducks with women, completing an evolution.
During the Republic of China, the Bada Hutongs were truly "prosperous", with a wide range of kilns, high-end clubs exclusive to the nobility, and "conscience enterprises" that were more friendly to the people. In this way, the Bada Hutongs also became a gathering place for three religions and nine streams. , it was so lively and full of ugliness.
It was not until after liberation that the Bada Hutongs existed for a period of time. Finally, they were all wiped out and disintegrated overnight. Only then did the Bada Hutongs become as peaceful as they are today. Front door?
