论唐代官妓生活

The Introduction to Government-owned Prostitutes' Life in Tang Dynasty

唐代官妓是隶属官府乐籍的女性群体,在特殊的社会背景下,这一群体主要来源于世业承袭、生活所迫、私妓转化等途径。她们大多出身寒微或身世悲惨,鲜有却籍从良之机会,以侍宴及与士人交往为主要生活情态。在儒家思想占据重要地位的唐代社会中,官妓成为衡量士人道德标准之一,同时也在客观上影响了唐代的文学发展和婚姻观念。

Government-owned prostitutes are a group of women who are registered in governmental musician households in Tang Dynasty.Right in that special social background,the group came from the following sources:generations'inheritance,being forced by life,and the transformation from private prostitutes and so on.They suffered mostly from humble origins and miserable life,having few opportunities to enjoy the life of common people and being involved mainly in accompanying ban quets and associating with scholar-officials.Government-owned prostitutes became one of the important standards to measure the ethics of scholar-bureaucrats in Confucianism-dominated Tang Dynasty,objectively influencing the literary development and the marriage ideas of Tang Dynasty.
