Basic introduction

Ming Wumingshi's "the story of the white rabbit: joining the army" says, "those around you and I raise the flag of recruiting soldiers, and call the common people in the neighborhood. Those who are willing to join the army will sign up under the flag." The eighth volume of Ling Mengchu's the surprise of the first carving of a case in Ming Dynasty: "the people in 360 lines are all like bandits." the so-called "360 trades" refers to trades in all walks of life, that is, social types of work. As the saying goes: "Gong Gong sell sugar, each dry line.". since the Tang Dynasty, there have been thirty-six lines of records about the trade. Zhou Hui of Song dynasty recorded in Qingbo magazine that there were meat shop, seafood shop, sauce shop, flower and fruit shop, fresh fish shop, palace flour shop, clothing shop, medicine shop, Zhazuo shop, coffin shop, old shop, pottery shop, tiaozuo shop, drum music shop, juggling shop, leather shop and so on. How to develop from 36 lines to 360 lines? According to Xu Ke's "Qingbai notes · agriculture and commerce", thirty six travelers have different occupations. In terms of division of labor, it is said that there are thirty-six lines, seventy-two lines for double lines and three hundred and sixty lines for ten lines. " It can be seen that "360 lines" is only an approximate number. In fact, since ancient times, there have been more than "360 lines" and more than 3600 lines. However, "360 lines" is just a summary number. The popular "360 lines" is a general term. Over the years, it has become a natural habit. It is convenient to say and pleasant to hear. So up to now, speaking of industry, it is generally called "360 lines". In addition, the 36th line is the general name of the main social industries in Tang Dynasty, reflecting the division of labor of social industries at that time. The 36th line extends the industry classification of 72 lines or 360 lines commonly used by Chinese people. Xu Ke said in "Qingbai notes: agriculture and commerce" that "thirty six travelers have different occupations. According to the division of labor, it is said that there are 36 lines, 72 lines for times, and 360 lines for 10 lines. " It can be seen that thirty-six lines are only a virtual index, not a specific number. thirty six lines refer to meat line, palace powder line, clothing line, jade line, ball treasure line, silk line, rice line, jewelry line, paper line, seafood line, fresh fish line, stationery line, tea line, bamboo line, wine and rice line, iron line, Gu embroidery line, needle line, Tangdian line, medicine line, Zhazuo line, Wuzuo line, Yichuan line, pottery line, coffin line, leather line, antique line In addition, there are also three kinds of shops, i.e. shopping, sauce shop, Chai shop, net shop, Huasha shop, juggling shop, Caixing shop, Guyue shop and Huaguo shop.
