    Who said Manchu women don't want it?

    Women's foot binding reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty, and women from all walks of life, regardless of rich or poor, all bound their feet. Even some ethnic minorities in the far northwest and southwest have been infected with the custom of foot binding. At the same time, women's small feet have received unprecedented worship and attention.

    During this period, the shape and size of the feet became an important criterion for judging the beauty and ugliness of women.

    The traditional way of life of production is determined. The Manchus are a fishing and hunting people, men hunt, women gather, and the credit is basically equally divided, so the status is similar. Like the Vikings, when a man goes out for several years, the family is basically supported by women, so the status of women in Northern Europe is higher.

    Some farming peoples are different, plus some traditional ideological constraints.

    Foot binding is very painful for women, because they have to suffer from skin and flesh, foot binding is to wrap their feet with cloth, so as not to make their feet bigger and look smaller, because feet are very important to women, feet are equivalent to a woman's second face, in ancient times, there were three inches of golden lotus straight said, small feet are good-looking women, in turn, women with big feet, generally no one likes, this also stems from the ancient idea of male superiority and inferiority, people think feudal, male and female classification is serious, they don't care about the pain of their daughters, I only know that women must bind their feet when they reach a certain age.

    As long as women have to accept the item of foot binding, but this is only limited to our Han nationality, men and women do not need to bind their feet, because the aesthetics at that time were different, the Han people regarded the small feet as beauty, and the "three-inch golden lotus" showed a woman's beautiful posture, which was more generous, elegant, good-looking, and the wind of foot binding has been deeply rooted in people's hearts and is difficult to change.

    When the Manchu rulers entered the Central Plains, they ordered the abolition of foot binding, but because of the decadent thinking of the Han people, this problem could not be fundamentally solved, on the contrary, this phenomenon became more and more serious, and it has reached a point where it is out of control, and even women of other nationalities have joined the foot binding.

    Manchu people's thinking is ahead of the Han people, as long as the Han woman does not bind her feet, it is disrespectful to her ancestors, and she will be regarded as a shame by others, and she will not be able to find her in-laws, so the parents have to endure the pain and let their daughters bind their feet. And Manchurian women are different, they pursue equality between men and women, open-minded, they yearn for freedom, when Qianlong came to power, he ordered the abolition of this foot binding, so now we women do not need to bind their feet.

    Because this is the tradition of the Han people, not the Manchu people, so the Han people bind their feet.

    I think it was because the Han women's foot binding was a very disadvantageous tradition at that time. At that time, the Manchu tradition did not say that they should bind their feet, so their Manchu women did not need to bind their feet.
