When did women s foot binding originate and when did it end

Foot binding first began in 969-975 AD during the reign of Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and one of the queens of Li was ingenious, using silk to wrap her feet into a crescent moon shape and dance on the golden lotus to please the Son of Heaven. Later, this custom gradually spread to the common people, and women regarded foot binding as beauty. At that time, the feudal literati and scholars had a morbid aesthetic, regarded women as playthings, and it became a habit to play with women's small feet.

In addition, in ancient times, there was a traditional custom of "men are superior to women" in a patriarchal society, and women would go out less when they were unable to move after binding their feet, so foot binding has also become an important way to restrain women.

In ancient times, after the women's feet were bound, people called them "three-inch golden lotus". This little foot covered with strips of cloth became the most private part of the body, and it was reserved for his own man. At that time, small feet were never to be seen or touched by other men.

If she is accidentally touched, this woman will be regarded as the greatest shame in her life.

Binding small feet first began during the reign of Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty in 969-975 AD, and some people believe that as early as the Warring States Period in 770-476 BC, binding small feet appeared, and perhaps even earlier can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty. In short, the custom of feudal society has a long history, and it has killed countless Chinese women for thousands of years. It can be said that binding small feet is one of the most prominent manifestations of "male superiority and female inferiority" under the patriarchal tradition.

According to the research of modern scholars, foot binding arose in the Northern Song Dynasty and ended in modern times.

It's all the fault of feudal etiquette.

I don't know why we still respect Confucius!

1.Restricting women's freedom.

Ancient patriarchy, pursuing the principle that women do not go out of the door, and the second door does not step out. Moreover, after marriage, the man asks the woman to observe the festival for her husband, and after the woman binds her feet, her own movement is restricted, and her contact with other men is reduced.

2.The aesthetic needs of the time.

With the beauty of "three-inch golden lotus", I can't get married if my feet are big.

3.Satisfy men's sexual needs.

Foot binding is to please men, and small feet are more attractive to men, just like many people have foot fetishes in modern times.

In ancient times, the reason why women's feet were bound was for beauty, and women's feet were only perfect and beautiful when they were three inches long.

In ancient times, the reason why women bound their feet was because they thought that the smaller the girl's feet, the better, and in addition, men were inferior to women and thought that girls should stay at home.

During the Five Dynasties, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty was very fond of music and dance, so he cultivated many music and dance talents in his palace, among which there was a palace concubine who was beautiful and delicate and good at dancing, so Li Yu ordered someone to make a golden lotus for her, and let the palace concubine wrap her feet with silk, thinking that wearing socks and dancing with a golden lotus would have the state of Lingyun.

One of the explanations I heard was that in ancient times, women could not go out at will to bind their feet, so that they became small, one is that the woman's long feet are ugly, and the other reason is that it hurts to wrap him, and it is inconvenient to walk and will not go far away.

In ancient times, the status of women was relatively low, and men not only regarded their wives and concubines as private property, but also regarded them as playthings and tools of procreation. Men require women to be dignified, virtuous, gentle, and "walk with silk shoes under their feet", so that women should be soothing and delicate. There is a description of "Silla embroidered and entangled, feet like spring" in the poems of Yuefu of the Six Dynasties, which shows that the ancients at that time believed that women's small feet were very beautiful.

"Foot binding" is the concept of male superiority and inferiority of women, and the ever-expanding vicious result ......

It is related to the Chinese's admiration of delicate filial piety and beauty.

Tang Dynasty women are still fat, and it may also be related to the fact that Chinese men's special banquets emphasize that the wife of the first person is an "insider" and should not go far away, and that foot binding is easy to control.

In ancient times, the reason for women's foot binding originated from the three-inch golden lotus, which I thought was very beautiful.

The ancients regarded the three-inch golden lotus as the beauty, and the woman who bound her feet was the symbol of everyone's beauty, and only the working people did not bind their feet.

What else could there be besides beauty, and it is difficult to look at it now.

In ancient times, women's foot binding was proposed by Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, because he liked to watch singing and dancing, and he liked small-footed dancing girls, and felt light and dexterous, so he ordered women to bind their feet.

There are many theories about who first brought forward the matter of foot binding in ancient times, among which I prefer to be admired by the Song Dynasty physicists, because it has begun to be "recognized" and popular in the Song Dynasty.

Of course, the ancient women's foot binding was proposed by the emperor, because at that time they felt that they were not beautiful enough, so they put forward this opinion, and women began this painful period.
