China: Rice merchants at a banquet with singsong girls, Beijing,1900

Sing-song girls (also known as flower girls) is an English term for the courtesans in nineteenth century China.<br/><br/>. Although generally concubines or courtesans, people in Shanghai called the women who performed in sing-song houses 'xian sheng' in Wu dialect. The term was pronounced 'sing-song' in English and the young women always sang to entertain the customers; thus Westerners called them Sing-Song girls. The word xian sang in this case is a polite term used to refer to an entertainer.
