In ancient times, there were many little yellow poems similar to the song of prostitutes. Why aren't they banned?

In fact, in ancient times, there were many poems similar to Song of a Prostitute, because at that time, such poems were not illegal, and even though the government expressly stipulated that they were not allowed to spread widely, they still failed to satisfy the curiosity of the masses. Especially at that time, the information exchange of the ancients was not developed, and many forms of entertainment did not rise. For a group of men, the best pastime is women. At this time, without the foil of Xiao Huang's poems, how can we spend the boring and lonely days?

Not only that, the existence of ancient brothels is also legal. Although prostitutes were looked down upon at that time, they still had legal status in society. And ancient people were proud of visiting brothels. They feel very free and easy, and call them romantic talents. Even some talented people formed a group, and they met to visit the brothel together and then it was more catchy than who wrote the little yellow poem. It sounds strange, but such activities were still very popular at that time.

Even some prostitutes are proud that these poets can write poems for themselves. After all, the status of ancient literati has always been very high, and it is worth showing off that prostitutes living at the bottom can be written into poems by literati. Therefore, Xiao Huang's poems were not banned, on the one hand, because the society at that time did not think it was a great event, and on the other hand, because of the needs of the broad masses of the people.

Not all dynasties have not banned Xiao Huang's poems, and some dynasties have issued regulations, but anyone who promotes dirty poems such as Huang Xiao's poems will be put in prison. But it's still forbidden, because although your government can go to the brothel to catch it, you can't look at the people to see if they have read Xiao Huang's poems, can you? Therefore, among the people, there are many Xiao Huang poems similar to Song of a Prostitute, which are widely circulated.
