Why is it said that the "waist binding" in ancient Europe is more cruel than the "foot binding" of ancient China, which originates from the fact that the "foot binding" of ancient China is hidden in shoes, the eyes cannot look directly, and the pain in it is only understood by the parties, while outsiders "turn a blind eye".
In the view of the "corset waist" of ancient Europe, "corset" is the "cruelty" that can be seen directly at a glance, originally women were enough "bucket waist" before marriage, and after marriage, it was a geometric growth, and the "corset" was to compress its own fat waist through abnormal means, which can be seen that it is impossible for people to look directly, but it is still because the evil customs made the women at that time beautiful, and these vices did not disappear until modern times.
In addition to the cruel contrast seen by the eye, there is actually a cruel contrast that hurts the body, which is also the corset of ancient Europe than the ancient
Foot binding is a cruel difference; foot binding, it can only hurt the bones, such as deformed feet, walking twisted, bad is that it is impossible to step out of the boudoir, because walking requires a wall, a cane to hold a pole, and even a maid to support, which is why in ancient times to raise female slaves, but also why women after marriage are less than seen, avoid cheating, and obey the "etiquette, righteousness, shame, three from the four virtues".
But its advantage is that when the woman after the foot wrap walks, she has a feeling of twisting into the wind, which is more feminine and moving visually, similar to the twisting feeling of contemporary women wearing high heels.
This is also why this evil custom can spread in ancient folklore, in ancient times, even if you can let yourself let men look at it more, even if it is uncomfortable to wrap your feet, it is worth it.
And the advantages of foot binding are also one point, that is, after marriage, it is good to have children, although the woman after the foot binding has formed a great harm to the lower body, but it will make the hip become larger, because when walking with the foot binding, the weight of the whole body is concentrated in the heel, and over time, the woman's waist and hip will gradually increase, and the pelvic bone will be affected, so that women can give birth more smoothly, and show the appearance of "fat buttocks".
What about the corsets of ancient Europe? Why is it said that the cruelty of the corset is higher than that of foot binding, first look at the comparison between the corset and the untied waist, you can know at a glance how much damage it is.
As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the deformation of the chest cavity after the corset of the waist is more serious, it affects not only the bones, but also the most important organs such as the liver, heart, spleen, stomach and so on of the body, which are light and break people's ribs and seriously injured, and heavy can make people die on the spot.
And the squeezed internal organs are all offset from the original position, which may not be cruel enough in your opinion, after all, the hip circumference of the women who have been tied up is indeed amazing, there is such a "deformed beauty", but what you need to know is that the mortality rate of the corset in ancient Europe is higher than the mortality rate of the ancient foot binding, so much that I will not think of the girdle, and in the 19th century, there were often women who died due to the destruction of internal organs by forcibly corseting the waist.
This is also why it is said that the waist is crueler than the foot binding, one is the appearance of disability, the other is the injury to the internal organs, which is light and the weight is clear at a glance.
