In the long feudal era of ancient times, women's status has always been very low, and the idea of son preference has always influenced China people's concept of life. In ancient times, boys played cards for boys and girls played tiles for girls. In the Republic of China, some places still existed. In some places, boys are particularly happy when they are born, and girls are particularly unhappy when they are born.

However, in the feudal era of more than two thousand years in China, a dynasty gave birth to a boy, which was worrying, but the parents were very happy when they gave birth to a daughter. This patriarchal dynasty was the Song Dynasty. It can be seen that no matter in the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, people living in Beijing all like their daughters, and their daughters are regarded as the apple of their eyes from birth. If you have a boy, you will be very unhappy and some cruel parents will throw him away.

Why did the Song Dynasty have this peculiar custom? It was related to the particularly developed entertainment industry at that time. People in the Song Dynasty, especially the rich in the upper class, knew how to enjoy life. In addition to eating, they also devoted great enthusiasm to entertainment. Some entertainment groups, including dancers and storytellers, are privately collected in the homes of dignitaries and wealthy businessmen. As long as it makes people happy, you can use it.

Most of the performers are women, so women are qualified for this job and can be liked. It is because there are many entertainment places and there is a great demand for talents that society has a demand. This phenomenon will naturally occur. The middle and lower classes of civilians all gave birth to daughters. If they grow better, they will be sent to learn singing and dancing. When I grow up, I will go out to earn some money and change my destiny.
