Salon activity refers to an informal gathering where people with similar interests get together to discuss and communicate with each other.

Nowadays, modern salon activities are mainly small-scale meetings where the business elites of the industry get together to discuss. Since the 17th century, the French celebrity Marquise de Rambouillet started to hold salons, salons have become more and more popular with enterprises, creating an open and comfortable communication platform for employees, creating a window for corporate customers to understand the industry and promoting the development of enterprises.

after the 18th century, the nature of the salon changed, and the topics discussed were more extensive, including not only literature and art, but also political science, and sometimes there were radical thoughts and speeches, so the salon at that time often became a hotbed of revolution. Soon after, a club that only discussed political issues was derived from Sharon. During the French Revolution, salon activities were banned, but it was only a flash in the pan, and then it gradually evolved into the meaning of "exhibition". The earliest art exhibition was held by Louis XIV in 1667.

Extended information:

The word "Salon" originated from the Italian word "Salotto", which is a transliteration of the French word Salon, and originally referred to the luxurious reception room in the residence of French elites. Since the 17th century, celebrities in Paris (mostly famous ladies) have often turned the living room into a famous social place.

The people who go in and out are mostly dramatists, novelists, poets, musicians, painters, critics, philosophers and politicians. They are like-minded, get together, sipping drinks, enjoying elegant music, holding their knees and talking freely. Later, people called this kind of gathering "Salon", which became popular in the cultural circles of Europe and America, and its heyday was in the 19th century.
