What is a Chinese geisha?

There actually is such a thing as a Chinese geisha, however they do not share the same name as the Japanese geisha, and the culture differs from their Japanese counterpart. The Chinese figures are a predecessor of the Japanese geisha. In ancient China there was no stylized differentiation of classifying names due to the general degradation of women. They were Classified among the prostitutes and in fact a character in their name means prostitute today, 艺妓,乐妓,名妓 ... etc. though in the ancient time, those terms did not only mean prostitute.. it was just a general official name.. Some of them did not provide any sexual service, and they still were recognized by that name. The term during the more ancient periods, implied performer sometimes. There are educational accounts and texts that have adopted the Japanese institution, geisha, for referring to a certain class of Chinese courtesan. For in fact some services of these ancient Chinese women mostly dealt with classical Chinese arts; calligraphy, painting, music, poetry etc. and even spiritual, mutual understandings with clients of intellectual kind. There are traces of this geisha tradition in a more primal form. Throughout the earliest dynasties of China. Where they observe many values of humanity as they live extraordinary lives, the accounts of the most famous of the Chinese geisha were recognized, especially courtesans like 苏小小 Su Xiao Xiao from 502 Qi Dynasty China. A woman who explored values of love, humanity and beauty. The two cultures' (Japan and China) geishas can not be congenially compared. They are very different figures related to each other, Chinese Geisha no longer exist today because Chinese cultural revolution wiped all traces of courtesan culture.. Japanese Geisha are not even allowed in China.
