Hello, I was recently reading a novel (MTL through jjwxc) and one of the popular comments mentioned flower market? 花市 I think this is a cultural reference of some sort to another popular novel site? Can someone familiar please explain? Thanks!
Googling the term tells me it's a "Lunar New Year Fair"... could you give some context/paste the comment here? I don't really see a connection to another site right now.
Aside from flower market meaning, 花市 is a location's name - Hua City or a brothel. Ofc depending on the context and the novel, 花市 can have different meanings.
I tried looking for it just now and don't remember where it was... I'll post next time I find it, I've seen another comment mentioning this once upon a time which is why it caught my attention. Hmm I saw it on another novel once and the story I was reading had nothing to do with brothels, so I think it's not story-specific. But you make a good point, I'm starting to wonder if this is maybe like a pg18 topic lool
I have no idea, but out of experience in reading some shitty stuff in my earlier years in Chinese novels usually anything having to do with flower or named after one is 1) related in some way to a red light dutrict 2) vulgar name 3)again red light district stuff maybe it's a place where you sell and buy cosmetics? depending on context it can be a very pure flower market too
it depends on the context if it is some thing that happens over lunar new year... its like a big festival with lots of stall selling food, and various things.
Flower market.If my local opinion is not wrong.It is called "Flower Bird Market".Where people can buy beautiful stones,some kinds of birds（allowed by law）,chicks and any other animals. Usually was built in old hood. Now it is fading slowly .
It's Chinese sex novel website.Because sex novels are not allowed in Chinese Internet. So they make this website in outer Internet. Begonia flower market is the name of the website. They use its brief name. If you are interested in it，you can search 海棠文化线上文学城 in Google.
