While begging, I happened to meet Ji Guang, the son of Wu. Seeing Wu Zixu's extraordinary appearance and outstanding eloquence, I took him into the palace and entrusted him with an important task. After Guang succeeded to the throne, Wu Zixu led Wu Bing to defeat Chu and avenge King Chu Ping for He Lv of Wu.
Later, Hanako in Suzhou was called Wu Zixu Beggar's Head, because Wu Zixu wanted to eat here. Shi Zi, a friend of Qing Dynasty, wrote about the inequality between the rich and the poor in the branch of Hsinchu in Kyoto. The rich turn their money into ashes, and the beggars on the roadside are hungry and cold. This kind of scene can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of old Beijing. Rich bodhi, cremation to ashes is still a mystery; Begging for a little charity, the hungry woman on the roadside is crying. Beggars, also known as "beggars", "beggars", "beggars" and "beggars", are a special group who beg for food for a living, which can be said to have existed since ancient times.
In the Qing Dynasty, the management of beggars was institutionalized, and the professionalism of beggars was also recognized. Incorporate beggars into the local garbo organization, select beggars as responsible persons, and check and make beggar card books.
Every county has a beggar head who manages beggars. The beggar's head is also a beggar, but he is the official designated chief of Jiabao. Candidates are recommended by the resident supervisor of the residential area or designated by the person in charge of the area under their jurisdiction. The beggar's armor book is called "Beggar's Head Book", which lists the beggar's name, the number of beggars under management, age, native place, physical characteristics, residence and so on. The book also indicates the scope that beggars in all workshops are only allowed to beg, and they are not allowed to beg hard, and they are not allowed to go out of the designated scope to make trouble elsewhere. In addition, the book also stipulates the "assessment methods" for beggars. If there are bandits or thieves, the beggar's head must be ordered to be inspected and reported to government managers at any time. If a beggar commits an illegal act, he will immediately ask the beggar's head. The workshops must not tolerate the new foreign beggars. Beggars' heads must be reported to the authorities, and official rations will be sent back to their places of origin. Beggar's head circulation books must also be sent to the county for replacement at the end of each month. For young beggars, ask about their origin, report to the authorities and send them back to their origin, forcing them to work and find employment. In addition, special settlements are set up to accommodate beggars who are old, young and disabled, and it is strictly forbidden to disperse.
In order to eliminate the unemployed, on the one hand, the late Qing government adopted the traditional relief policy, distributing "rice stones", adopting the old, the weak and the sick, opening porridge factories and taking in the unemployed from famine and war; On the other hand, the government has taken some new measures. Under the slogan of "revitalizing industry", we will promote the "craft bureau" and "adopt the poor and teach them crafts" to create conditions for beggars and refugees to stand on their own feet. During the Republic of China, there was also a spontaneous "beggar support association" among beggars' gangs. Beggars elected their own presidents and petitioned the Chamber of Commerce many times, asking the Chamber of Commerce to inform the merchants to double the change. The chamber of commerce said that it could not be implemented, and suggested that members of the "beggar group" could be introduced to the porridge factory to drink porridge;
