This sentence came from the novel 'Dream of the Red Chamber'.
The saying that there were 3,000 beauties in the harem of the ancient emperor was not entirely true because the size of the harem of the ancient Chinese emperor varied from dynasty to dynasty and the number of women in the harem was not an exact number. In some dynasties, the number of harem members could reach hundreds, while in other dynasties, the number of harem members could only be dozens or less. However, the number of women in the harem was indeed determined by the emperor because the ancient emperors usually hoped to have more women in their harem to maintain their mystery and attractiveness. In addition, some emperors might attract high-quality women into the harem by selecting talents, granting official positions, or bestowing wealth. Although the size of the harem of ancient emperors was different, the number of women in the harem did reflect the complexity and variety of ancient Chinese court culture.
All men envied the fact that there were still immortals fighting for favor behind the three thousand beauties in the harem.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor's harem would indeed have 3,000 concubines or palace maids. However, this number was not real but fictional. In Chinese history, although there was no conclusive evidence to prove that the emperor really had 3,000 concubines, many novels, television dramas, and games exaggerated how many people the emperor had in his harem. This number could be set according to the needs of the story or to enhance the interest and imagination of the reader or player. Therefore, we can't say that the emperor's harem really had 3,000 beauties. We should judge it according to the specific plot and setting.
This question involved some historical records and legends. Different novels and works might have different answers. But generally speaking, there was no exact number of concubines in the harem because historical records and legends were not always accurate. In some novels and legends, the number of concubines in the harem was exaggerated or fabricated, and could even reach millions. However, this number was only the author's imagination or fiction, and there was no actual basis. In the harem, the beauties needed to undergo strict screening and training to ensure that they had outstanding appearance and moral character. The beauties in the harem were assigned to different palaces. They had to abide by a series of etiquette and rules, such as changing their clothes every day and participating in court activities and sacrifices regularly. Because the management and operation of the harem required a huge amount of manpower and resources, the ancient court usually sent some powerful eunuchs and officials to manage and maintain the order of the harem to ensure the normal operation of the harem. The number of harem beauties and the way they operated varied from history to novels. There is no exact number.
