Nowadays, we call homosexuality "gay", but in ancient times, there were many terms for homosexuality that many people had not heard of. Let's take a look at these special terms for homosexuality in ancient China.
Divaricate
In "Han Feizi Shuo Nan", there was a story about Mi Zi Xian offering Yu Tao to the Duke of Wei Ling. Later generations often used "Fen Tao" or "Yu Tao" as a synonym for homosexuality, and occasionally used "Mi Zi" to refer to homosexuals. The term "partisan addiction" refers to a preference for homosexuality, while the term "partisan kindness" refers to homosexual relationships.
Broken sleeves
In "The Book of Han • The Biography of Dong Xian", the story of the broken sleeve between Emperor Ai of Han and Dong Xian is written. "Broken sleeves", "Broken sleeves addiction", "Broken sleeves pleasure", "Broken sleeves pet", and so on are caused by these. In addition, the words "split" and "broken sleeve" can also be mentioned together to refer to homosexuality.
Favoritism
"Favourable subjects" refer to the favours of the monarch, while "Favourable persons" generally refer to the favours of bureaucrats, bureaucrats, and bureaucrats, in addition to being able to agree with Favourable subjects. "As in" Mozi Lu Wen "," Lu Jun likes people to die, Lu Ren taboos them, and Lu Jun uses them for their pleasure. "

The tenth chapter of "Doupeng Gossip": "Liu Gongping is a very good man, and those boys are Mr. Liu's Longyangjun." This also refers to homosexual phenomena or activities.
