Who knows the origin of Chinese women s foot binding

This is the encyclopedic explanation.

This is found from knowing.

It is said that it originated from the fetish of Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it was effective from the top to the bottom. That is what we call "the king of Yue is brave, and the people are more light; King Chu Ling has a thin waist, and there are many hungry people in the country."

It is generally believed that the bad habit of foot binding began in the Song Dynasty, and the Song and Ming Dynasty advocated the "Three Principles and Five Constants", which was a great destruction of human nature.

In ancient times, women's foot binding was also called three-inch golden lotus, which can be said to have reshaped women. For a long period of time in the past, the three-inch golden lotus has contributed to the idea that women (especially women) must bind their feet.

If you bind your feet, you are more like a woman, and a woman who does not bind her feet not only looks extremely stupid, but also shows her low social status. Having a pair of slender and Zhou Zheng golden lotus is necessary for everyone's demeanor, and the feet are not wrapped up to the standard, and in front of everyone, especially in the more solemn assembly, they will be ashamed of themselves if they don't wait for others. The truth in that is beyond saying.

In fact, the benefit that may have been brought to women at that time was to find a good home!

In the era when foot binding was prevalent, if there was no foot binding, it was equivalent to a defect!

Foot binding is a feudal superstition, which is not beneficial at all, just to prevent women from going out.

For the size of the feet, the ancients formed the aesthetic of "three-inch golden lotus, four-inch silver lotus, and more than four inches is iron lotus". The admiration of society is one of the reasons why countless women flock to small feet. In order to cater to the popular aesthetic, foot binding is an option.

And if it is only for the pursuit of beauty, the popularity of foot binding may not be very high. What really made foot binding a stereotype for women in ancient times was the development of Tsunatsu ethics.

The smaller you wrap your feet, the more you have a sense of superiority. I heard the old people say that when looking for a match, if you look at the feet,

It's not ancient times, it's the Qing Dynasty, it's mainly that men have never beaten Tartars, surrendered and became traitors, and took women out of anger at home.

Nothing good.

In the feudal era, many women had to bind their feet, you think that foot binding, on the one hand, hinders normal physiological development, on the other hand, seriously affects women's physical and mental health, but the ancient task in ancient times thought that women can make their feet look smaller, this kind of feudal superstition, should not be beneficial.

Foot binding was no good for ancient women, but it only limited women's freedom, and they no longer had to work hard to make a living like modern women.

There are no benefits, only pain and deformity of the feet.

What can be the benefit, it may be that it is inconvenient to bind your feet, you don't have to go out to work, you can only do some work at home.

From now on, there is no harm in everything.

The aesthetics of ancient women, small feet should be counted as one. The three-inch golden lotus is the standard.

Except for being able to get married, there is no other benefit at all.

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.

Women's foot binding is mainly for the marriage concept at that time, thinking that not binding feet is a defect of women, it is difficult to marry a good family, many parents have to bind their daughter's feet for their daughter's future plans!

Restrictions on activities and hobbies from certain aesthetic points of view, but foot binding is generally a large family with a bit of status.
