Why did ancient women tie their feet It was not popular from that year to that dynasty

Because at that time, men were inferior to women, and later advocated equality between men and women.

Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, liked women's foot binding very much, and felt petite and moving. Later, it gradually became popular among the people, and by the Ming Dynasty, it had become very common. The missionary Matteo Ricci wrote in his diary that almost all Chinese women had bound their feet, and noble ladies had to sit in sedan chairs when they went out, and many women had difficulty traveling.

Stay at home for long periods of time. Village.

At that time, it was for the sake of beauty and satisfying men's aesthetics.

Binding small feet first began in 969-975 A.D. 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 kind of atmosphere gradually spread to the common people, and women took 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 woman bound her feet, people called it the "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 tying small feet in feudal society has a long history, and 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.

In ancient times, women wrapped their small feet to make their walking posture look good, Yu Yuanpei, but later according to folklore, there were other reasons. Some people say that women who bind their little feet are so that they can give birth to children in the future to facilitate natural childbirth, and some people say that women with small feet can look like small birds and make men like them more.

In ancient times, there were many words of praise for small feet, such as "golden lotus", "three-inch golden lotus", "incense hook", etc., all of which were praised by cultural people for women with small feet. But this kind of pain cannot be felt by those who have not experienced it.

Su Dongpo's poem "Bodhisattva Man" said that "it should be difficult to say that it is delicate and must be seen from the palm of the hand", and also formulated seven standards for the beauty of small feet: thin, small, pointed, curved, fragrant, soft, and positive, and summarized the "seven beauties" of small feet: shape, quality, capital, god, fat, soft, and beautiful.

It can be seen that people recognized the act of binding small feet at that time, and in modern times, this system has been slowly abolished.

Men can never comprehend the pain of a woman's little feet, the feeling of torn bones and tendons, and we can't know what kind of pain it is just by imagining.
