Abstract

However, being in two different social classes, scholars and prostitutes show different mentality respectively in their contact with each other. Due to their difference in social classes, scholars behave against their will in their feelings towards the prostitutes. What's more, the conventional feudal influences prevent the prostitutes from having a happy life.
