Social Life History of Ming Dynasty
About This Novel
The society of the Ming Dynasty was a process of transformation. The continuous growth of the population, the commercialization and monetization of the economy, the prosperity of cities, the acceleration of social mobility, and the "vitality" and "diversity" of life and culture all showed that it was essentially different from the previous era. The cities of the Ming Dynasty brought together all kinds of people. Government officials were full of ambition and went out to play gongs to make their debut; scholars who took the imperial examination fell into disgrace and became guests of the mountain people, working as idlers in yamen and brothels to enjoy the autumn breeze; businessmen wore gorgeous clothes and walked in and out of flower streets; bachelors and bachelors, dressed in short clothes and carrying scales, hammers, and fancy-dressed concubines and female helpers, went in and out of the boudoirs of officials' families.
