In the late Qing Dynasty, the national gate was opened by Western powers
At that time, the imperial examinations had not been abolished. If there were any problems, the Chinese people still liked to take the exam. Westerners would not only imagine that once they opened the door of the Qing Dynasty, they would let their Chinese people obey the command. For example, if they were in democratic elections, they would not waste so many ink, paper and inkstones.
Let those foreigners say that Western political elections are so scattered, and the good people of the Qing Dynasty are not moved. I will take my imperial examinations. If you choose your election, we will not violate the rivers.
But there will always be the first person to eat crabs
In the late Qing Dynasty, Shanghai, since its establishment, has been influenced by Western culture and has taken the lead in all aspects of social life.
We have seen a lot of foreign affairs, eaten Western food, sat in a four-wheeled carriage, played Huili balls, and spoke pidgin English, and compradors will do it. Then there is nothing that you dare not try or refuse to try in the voting election.
What to vote?
Beauty Selection
In the late Qing Dynasty, Shanghai was more prosperous than other parts of China at that time.
Once the economy is booming, the entertainment industry will naturally follow
At that time, there were many prostitutes, many literati, many foreigners, and many tabloids...
In short, it is a city with economic prosperity and rich life content, but at the same time, there is no place to vent its national hatred and family sorrow. The literati and celebrities who can't hold it up have started hosting the prostitute*women flower review list event.
The first flower list is Li Boyuan, the author of the late Qing Dynasty's representative work "Official Appearance",
Li Boyuan, named Baojia, also known as Nanting Tingchang, was born in a family of officials. His grandfather, father and uncle were both born in the imperial examinations.
But Li Boyuan's thoughts are much more open than his predecessors. He was tired of writing novels and scolding the officialdom, so Li Boyuan started running a newspaper
In the 22nd year of Guangxu (1896), Li Boyuan founded the Game News. In the Game Report, he publicly declared: The politics of the country above and the customs and people below... All rights reserved, all the body is ready.
Li Boyuan did what he said, and pioneered the trend of blooming in newspapers and promoting prostitutes, which made the Game News popular in all walks of life in Shanghai, and its sales have soared. Li Boyuan himself also gained a reputation of mixed praise and criticism, such as the originator of the tabloid newspaper, the leader of the Saotan, the flower world, and other mixed reputations.
In 1897, Li Boyuan personally formulated six rules for the "Game Newspaper" flower list, namely the election standards for the prostitute flower list activity, such as: First, in terms of Shenjiang, there are more than 3,000 registered musicians.
Can you read it all in all the colorful flowers?
This flower list is determined by the number of recommended books, and it will be further discussed with public opinion to show peace and stability
2. Three people in the first class, three people in the second class, and thirty people in the second class, and the rest are all three people in the third class.
The pearls left in the sea, I know that they cannot avoid them. If you miss ten, you will understand them.
3. Such as Cao Menglan, Lu Lanfen, Hua Cuiqin, Hua Yutian, Xie Xiang'e, etc., some drink the reputation of fragrance for a long time, some have beautiful banners early, some have passed, or their identities are high, and there seems to be no need to compete with the fans to win, so they will not be entered, etc.
From this we can see that the flower list has two different colors, namely first, second, and third. There is no need to write or hand in the paper, but it still needs to be scored, and it is still imitating the imperial examination. The difference is that the voting and election is adopted, and the newspaper is hosted by
The votes for the Flower List election were not called votes at that time, but were called "Recommendation Books" very elegantly. A recommendation book counts one vote, and the winner is based on the number of votes.
Regardless of the number of votes received, as long as you enter the first, second, and third grade, your name and your residence will be published in the newspaper in black and white.
With fame, it is beneficial. Beauties who enter the Sandingjia will naturally be indispensable in the future.
Li Boyuan's Flower List selection activity started in the summer of 1897 and was selected four times a year. It is said that the most valuable thing was the first election that year.
In the first election in the summer of 1897, there were more people watching the fun and few voters. It is said that the top scorer only received nine votes, the second scorer and the second scorer and the third scorer each received seven votes.
And among the few people, there were foreigners, an American named Yatu, who also participated in the vote, but Yatu thought that ugly was ahead and Midea fell behind, so he wrote a letter to protest and demanded correction.
This time, you are doing things according to the principles of democracy in your Western countries, so don’t joke, brother Yatu, change it, that’s a matter of nothing. If you want to blame, you can only blame your aesthetic view too different from that of us Chinese.
There are naturally many interesting things about the earliest beauty economy in China. There is a text in the book "Blank Places in History" that says: Although you can't be an official in the flower list, and there are no prizes, the benefits you get are also obvious.
When the list was published, the newspaper indicated the residence after everyone's name, and some praise words were listed. It is said that these praise words all came from the recommendation book. The higher the ranking, the longer the praise words.
The words of praise have a length, but the degree of stinginess is similar. Compared with people, it is either Xi Shi or Wang Qian, and the characters are either flowers or moon. What is clear as white plum, what is competing for beauty with the moon, even the last two are pretty and Qi Shu Qi Qi (From the photos passed down from later, these beauties who were blown into shy flowers and closed the moon, most of them have flat faces and dull eyes. From today's perspective, they are not beautiful at all)
After the list was released, not only were the top celebrities, but the top-ranked famous people had a prosperous business and their income increased sharply. Even the scholars who wrote books recommended also had more opportunities to show their faces in the newspaper because of their gorgeous words. They could collect more pens.
Of course, the most benefit is the newspapers that initiated the event. The sales are increasing, the advertisements come, and the flower list is evaluated for a few months.
In fact, with the selection of the flower list, all related industries have been stimulated.
At that time, China's photography industry was just starting. It was because the flower list later put the jade photos of prostitutes, which finally attracted the appetite of ladies and jassicas of families, and they were able to flourish.
The clothing of prostitutes was imitated by the vast number of good women due to the publicity in the newspapers, so the clothing cutting industry has also developed.
The newspapers and magazines are also becoming more and more pictures of beautiful women, from prostitutes to female students to famous ladies, and are becoming increasingly prosperous and ushering in the first spring of China's media industry.
Other industries that are driven are probably still there, and the space is limited, so I won't list them one by one.
It's amazing to say that although prostitution was already an industry in ancient China, it really changed into a beauty economy, which should be the rise of prostitutes' flower review activities in the late Qing Dynasty.
Because the influence of the prostitute flower evaluation activity is too great, folk scholar Zhang Yaoming analyzed in his book "The History of Prostitutes" that in modern times, the prostitute industry in Shanghai is growing day by day, and the trend of holding prostitutes in the prostitute industry is also very strong. The scale, form, and frequency of the flower list is the first to be the nationwide one, the highest in the country.
In fact, since Li Boyuan held a prostitute flower review event in the Game News, from 1917 to 1920, the scene and scale of the Shanghai flower list reached its peak.
Not only the newspapers held flower review activities, but also the game venues participated. The two co-hosted the flower selection. The winner of the flower selection was elected by the client's vote.
In 1917, the New World Games Field even founded a special election conference, and specially hired Xi Yàn, editor-in-chief of the New World, as the conference director.
The election imitated the Republic of China's electoral system in the early Republic of China. Visitors and clients purchased votes. Each ticket is sold for one yuan. The ballot must be filled in the brothel address where the prostitute is located and the advantages of the prostitute.
More than 210 prostitutes and girls were selected this time
Flower List elections have been thriving for decades since then
At that time, the imperial examinations had not been abolished. If there were any problems, the Chinese people still liked to take the exam. Westerners would not only imagine that once they opened the door of the Qing Dynasty, they would let their Chinese people obey the command.
