These journeys to school or the exams were for the young Ye Boying something of an escape from life in a large family, a chance to be among young men his own age, to relax and enjoy himself and talk about personal and intellectual matters of common concern. In the cities of the lower Yangzi, teahouses, wine shops, and brothels were as likely places for young men to gather as bookstores or academic halls.
