Features: The history of Chinese prostitutes dates back over three thousand years. As a social group that has existed to cater to men's sexual desires, they have had a profound impact on the development of Chinese culture and arts, while also exerting certain corrosive and polluting effects on civilized society. This book, connecting historical politics, economics, law, ethics, and other aspects, focuses on examining the phenomenon of prostitution from the perspective of cultural anthropology, treating it as a cultural phenomenon. It systematically investigates the evolution of the prostitution system from ancient to modern times and the overall trend of the lives of prostitutes, from the emergence and development of the prostitute culture to its prosperity and eventual decline.
