Welcome to the [Trend Epic] channel, today let's take a look at the following content. Tu Xiang Mo Xi Lian took the step. Long sorrow Luo socks Ling Bo went. Only to see the dance back to the wind. None of them were found. Stealing through the palace is stable. Juxtaposition of double-sided sleep. It should be difficult to say that it is delicate. Must be seen from the palm of your hand. - Su Shi, "Bodhisattva Man"
When women are 4 or 5 years old, their families will wrap their developing feet tightly with long cloth strips to prevent the feet from growing normally and maintain the state of small feet. This is foot binding, a deformed culture that has existed for thousands of years, a deformed aesthetic, and a kind of oppression and destruction of women.
At that time, people felt that the woman with small feet was the most beautiful, walking with lotus and swaying. Even, at the peak of foot binding, no matter what class, whether it is a family, or a commoner, whether it is in the capital or in the southwest border, women have wrapped up their small feet, ashamed of not wrapping their feet, and even women who do not tie their feet cannot marry out.
It was a crazy era, that was a deformed society, and it was a nightmare for Chinese women alone.
Foot binding originated from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and originated from Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who sang "When is the spring flower and autumn moon, how much do you know about the past". Li Yu was a good lyricist, but not a good emperor. According to the "Daoshan News", "Li Hou's concubine in the main palace is a concubine, and she is good at dancing. Later, the main work is golden lotus, six feet high, decorated with treasures, thin belts, wisps, and the lotus works serenity lotus. Let the lady wrap her feet in a veil, make her small, bend up to make a crescent moon, dance in the clouds, swirl, and have the state of a cloud. ...... By everyone. Take the slim bow as a good idea. In this way, it has been known since the five generations, such as Xining and Yuanfeng, who were still few people before. In recent years, everyone has been effective, and those who do not do it are ashamed. "From the beginning of this maihime named Miao Niang, Chinese women began a thousand-year-long nightmare.
With the passage of time, people did not abandon foot binding, but let it flourish and become the shackles of all Chinese women.
How crazy can foot binding be? In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the concept of not being ashamed of foot binding even appeared in the folk.
The bad practice of foot binding reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty, when even remote ethnic minority areas began to wrap their feet and wrap their feet.
However, in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government ordered that people be forbidden to tie their feet.
In the second year of Shunzhi, the Shunzhi Emperor had ordered that children born to Manchu Han and others should not be foot-binding, but this prohibition did not stop foot binding. In the third year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Qing government's ban on foot binding became stricter, stipulating: If a woman born after the first year of Kangxi illegally tied her feet, her father had an official hand over to the officials and the soldiers; the soldiers' homes were handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for 40 boards, and they were exiled; the ten parents did not perform inspections, and the number of the shackles was january, and the responsibility was forty boards; the supervisor of the following civilian officials, who were negligent and unaware, listened to the deliberations of the second department of the soldiers.
See, the Qing government's ban was very strict.
However, this did not stop the bad habit of foot binding, but made foot binding reach its peak in the Qing Dynasty.
If there is a woman who does not wrap her feet, the mother is ashamed, the father thinks it is humiliated, and even the party is rumored to be a joke in the string. It can be seen how serious the foot binding phenomenon was at that time.
Then, the Qing government obviously issued many bans, but why did the foot binding continue to be banned, and it reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty?
First of all, we all know that the Qing Dynasty was the second country in China's history to be established by ethnic minorities, and the Manchus entered the Central Plains and became the new rulers of Jiangshan. Therefore, the contradictions between the Manchus and Han dynasties have always existed, and after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, in order to better rule the Central Plains, they immediately implemented their own culture and customs, and shaved their hair at the cost of blood. At that time, countless Han people would rather bleed and lose their lives than shave their hair.
In the eyes of many Han Chinese, banning women's foot binding is the same as letting men shave their hair, which is a blow to the Han chinese by the Manchus, who regard not shaving their hair and not wrapping their feet as heroic feats of resistance to the Qing government. The ban on foot binding was not as severe as shaving, so the Han people did not tie their feet in order to maintain their dignity, to adhere to their traditions, and to resist the Qing government.
Secondly, it is because of the distorted aesthetic of the scholar class.
From our current point of view, it is a wonderful thing for women not to wrap their feet, and women do not have to be tortured, not imprisoned, not to shed blood and tears every day. However, in the eyes of the scholar class, the small foot after the foot binding is a kind of beauty, an art, which they appreciate and like.
They don't have to endure the pain of foot binding, so why don't they let their daughters and wives wrap their feet? Our ancient concept of "three from four virtues" has always been firmly engraved in the minds of women, who dare not rebel against their fathers, their husbands, and even their sons, and they can only obey their demands and can only agree.
Today, we can't imagine how much those small-footed women in those days suffered and how tired they were. But fortunately, in the Republic of China period, with the development of the times, with the advent of new ideas, the heavenly foot movement began, more and more women have the courage to stand up, say no to their families, give up foot binding, and return to nature.
Today, Chinese women have no one to wrap their feet, and the small-footed golden lotus and the three-inch golden lotus have become history.
