Salon was originally Italian and was introduced to France in the17th century. French transliteration is reception room and living room. It was originally the name of the Louvre Gallery. Later, it gradually became popular to enjoy art, talk about art, play cards and chat, so the word salon later did not refer to the room where art was displayed, but more to such a party. 17, 18 century France, books were not as popular as they are now, and various propaganda tools were not developed. Some scholars often recite their new works in salons, which provides them with opportunities to publish their works. At the same time, the salon also spreads information, creates public opinion, and absorbs wisdom language from rhetoric, thus gaining people's conscience. After entering the18th century, the nature of the salon has changed. What was discussed in the salon was not literature and art, but politics and science, and sometimes there were radical remarks, so the salon at that time often became a hotbed of revolution. Today's salon has become a social gathering for western upper-class people to talk about literature, art or political issues. The official French plastic arts exhibition is held in Paris every year, also known as salon.
