Since the Qin Dynasty, Goryeo (Korea) has been a vassal state of China, until the late Qing Dynasty, the invasion of the great powers, the corruption of the late Qing Dynasty was incapable of taking care of the vassal states, and naturally Korea slowly withdrew from the ranks of the vassal states. In fact, there is also a small story here, the word North Korea is named by China for its help, to know that when Zhu Yuanzhang laid the world, Goryeo paid tribute, Zhu Yuanzhang specially named it "Korea", and then Goryeo was called North Korea.
Only in the late Qing Dynasty, North Korea gradually lost contact with the Qing court, but it is worth saying that Yuan Shikai once married a Korean princess, but there were too many Manchu Qing rules, Yuan Shikai was a bit strange, and finally because of this matter, the Korean princess was tortured to death, and finally had no choice but to choose suicide!
This North Korean princess is one of Yuan Shikai's wives, Kim, who was only 17 years old when she married Yuan Shikai, but there are many rules in the late Qing Dynasty, one of which is a habit of foot binding, and the age of foot binding for general Qing Dynasty women is wrapped from childhood, but this Kim is already 17 years old, and has long passed the age of foot binding, but the four words "going into the countryside and following customs" can indirectly kill this 17-year-old Korean princess.
Because Yuan Shikai's original match is the grand lady Shen said that the Jin family should follow the rules of the Qing Dynasty, but considering that the age has passed, so the foot binding can be relaxed, but "stepping on the inch" can not be less (the pace in Peking Opera, the inch is a kind of wooden prop of about 30 centimeters, the bottom of the inch is covered with embroidered shoes, in fact, it is mandatory to wear small shoes), and as a result, under the "careful" teaching of the grand lady Shen, the Jin family basically lives like a year, enduring strong pain and walking every step, And life is worse than death may only slightly reflect the state of the Kim family!
Later, according to the folklore of the time, Jin's oil leg was directly disabled and could not be straightened for a lifetime, which shows how torturous this "stepping inch" is! The most hateful thing is that the eldest lady, because of her physical ill health, was unable to add children to Yuan Shikai, so she forcibly passed the son under Jin's knee to her side, and the Jin family could only watch her son leave, listening to her son call others to the mother, presumably this kind of pain can only be understood by the mother.
In fact, after the Jin family married Yuan Shikai, it was not so beautiful in the eyes of others, the Jin family because it was a foreigner, there was no one to rely on in the Manchu Qing, and the status among other concubines was naturally the lowest, Yuan Shikai also had no good feelings for the Jin family, even if he saw the Jin family being bullied, he would not pay attention to it, that is, because of this series of problems, the Jin family had no sense of nostalgia for life, and finally the Jin family chose to end their lives.
