During the Warring States Period, how did Yan Taizi Dan recruit talents?
During the Warring States period, although Yan was one of the seven heroes of the Warring States, it was the weakest country among them. Especially at the end of the Warring States period, the Daqin Empire swept the world, and Yan was in jeopardy. It stands to reason that a gentleman does not live in danger and is strictly forbidden to visit. But why did the literati at that time like to study in Yan? What attracted them? What is Yan Taizi Dan fighting for to attract so many literati to work for him?

According to historical records, Yan Taizi Dan was not a beautiful woman before his death, and he was not stingy with his wealth. He is bent on attracting talents and planning the great cause of rejuvenating the country. However, in the later period, the ambition of the Daqin Empire to annex the world became increasingly exposed, and Yan Taizi Dan had no time to enrich it, so he thought of stabbing Qin. However, Qin Shihuang was overbearing and unparalleled. How could he let the scholars lay down their lives to stab Qin for him? Yan Taizi Dan thought of a wonderful method!

He asked his concubines and handmaids to serve the recruited scholars! People only know that Jing Ke praised a beautiful woman's green jade hand, which was cut off by Yan Taizi Dan and given to Jing Ke, but they don't know that Yan Taizi Dan used beauty to attract "talents".

What is even more funny is that the people of Yan actually regard Yan Taizi Dan as a rare way to entertain guests. Every household imitates Yan Taizi Dan's "elegant hospitality", and when entertaining guests, let the women at home serve the guests and recommend pillows for them. This "elegant hospitality" has become the custom of Yan State.

"Hanshu" records: "At the beginning, Prince Danbin raised warriors, but he didn't love harem beauties, and the people became vulgar, so far. The guests are all together, all with women. "

Scholars in the Warring States period were generally born in poverty, or were declining nobles. They are a group of people with difficulties in life. As long as you are kind to them, you will be loyal to them until you die. Yan Taizi Dan not only gave them luxurious food, but also provided them with a group of beautiful women as beautiful as flowers and jade to serve them. For them, this is worth sacrificing.

In addition, this "elegance and vulgarity" brought by Yan Taizi Dan is also an important reason why countless literati are eager for Yan. Yan Zhiyou's "beauty" is well known, and naturally countless literati will lose their faces and abandon the famous saying that a gentleman does not live in danger. Yan is full of talents at once, but it should be said that it is a mixture of good and evil people! If we can cross, how many people will compete to go to Yan State at that time?
