What do ancient diners mean?

Menke, also known as diners, was a popular occupation in China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, in order to further enhance their political and social status, the nobles would recruit talents from all over the world and support them. Diners are private subordinates of the employer and do not obey any official position of the court or the instructions of the monarch.

Men and women contribute various talents, such as offering advice, lobbying, singing and dancing, assassination, armed bodyguards, etc. Even stealing and imitating animal sounds can be eaten by both men and women. No matter whether the nobles go in or out, they will take a certain number of public servants as followers so that they can be dispatched at any time.

The famous janitor

1, Qian Feng (? -? ), "Historical Records" is Qian Feng, "Warring States Policy" is Feng Xuan, a diner of Qi State in China and Meng Changjun during the Warring States Period.

Feng Gui is very poor, and the client said that he would enter Meng Changjun's door. Meng Changjun asked the lobbyist what his talents or stunts were, but the lobbyist didn't answer anything. Although Meng Changjun accepted Feng Gui's entry, he never summoned Feng Gui, and the person who arranged the accommodation heard about it and gave Feng Xuan the lowest food treatment.

2. Mao sui (? -? ), a native of Handan, was born in Zhao (now Handan, Hebei) in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States Period. He was a public figure in Zhao Sheng, Ping Yuanjun, and a famous lobbyist during the Warring States Period.

3. Hou Ying (4th century BC-257 BC) was a hermit of Wei during the Warring States Period. In his seventies, he worked as a gatekeeper in the capital of Wei (now Kaifeng). Wei Wuji, the Xinlingjun, was respected and treated by the above ceremony.

In the first 257 years, Qin led an army to besiege Handan, the capital of Zhao, and Xin Lingjun wanted to help Zhao. Hou Ying had a premeditated plan, because Wang Anshi's favorite concubine, Ru Ji, once owed it to Xin Lingjun, and Hou Ying decided to let Ru Ji steal the tiger charm from the palace, and let Lux Zhu Hai accompany Xin Lingjun to seize the military power and save Zhao, which was known as "Xin Lingjun stole the tiger charm to save Zhao".

After Xinlingjun set out, Hou Ying committed suicide and died, about the same time as Zhu Hai killed Jinbi.
