Category 1: Visiting brothels. Many people answered that the ancients’ way of entertainment at night was visiting brothels. My dear, how many brothels will be built? You must know that since ancient times, literati and sluts only like visiting brothels, and the prerequisite for them to become literati and sluts is that their families are rich! However, more wealthy families are often high-ranking officials or court officials. They often attach great importance to tutoring. After all, only a few people actually visit brothels.

The second category: literati. When mentioning the ancients, one would think of Li Bai who "raised his head to look at the bright moon and lowered his head to miss his hometown", and Meng Haoran who "knew how many flowers had fallen when the wind and rain came at night". They are typical representatives of these literati. Night is the time for literati to drink and play chess. Otherwise, how could there be such a warm and soft feeling of wine as "it's snowing in the evening, so I can drink a glass of nothing", and "I don't come here until midnight because of an appointment, so I can knock the chess pieces and let the lanterns fall" under the lamp. Play chess. Night is the best time for inspiration to come out. After drinking, it is a good time to let yourself go and let yourself go. Inviting friends to play chess in the evening is also a good thing. Night was a time for literati to read and study. "Cantilevering one's head from a beam, stabbing one's buttocks with a cone" and "cutting through a wall to steal light" were all true portrayals of people at that time. The ancients have always believed that "everything is inferior, only reading is superior", and they must seize every minute and every second to study. But this is only the life of some people and cannot yet represent the lives of all people. Night is a good time to recite poems and compose poems.

The third category: The Song Dynasty was the dynasty with the highest literacy rate (not counting today). The illiteracy rate at that time reached over 85%. The rest of the dynasties are not good. Even the Qing Dynasty, the pinnacle of ancient dynasties, had an illiteracy rate of over 90%! What does it mean? It shows that only 10 people can read, and among these 10 people, a considerable number study during the day and are reluctant to light a lamp at night. It is too expensive, so this base number will further decline, and even fewer people study at night! Not to mention drinking, who is so rich and drinks every night? It’s simply funny. Only a very small number of people drink. They only drink during holidays and when relatives and friends get together, and most of them drink during the day. Those who can drink until night are probably only high-ranking officials and aristocrats, maybe for socializing. , cannot represent the majority of people!

In fact, curfews were often implemented in ancient times, including now in some places abroad where you are not allowed to go out at night! Most people can only stay in their homes. Lighting a lamp is very expensive. If you light a lamp for two hours, your whole day's work will be in vain. Moreover, candles are expensive, animal oil is expensive, vegetable oil is expensive, and there is smoke. It is really unaffordable to light it! Most people are not so lucky to live in the city, nor are they lucky enough to be born into a noble family. Instead, they are farmers who work hard. They had to weave and spin, do handwork, and mend clothes at night, and men also helped. Many of them had developed the skills to work without lighting up, and they were very good at it!
