China women's three-inch golden lotus began in which dynasty? what do you think?

Euphemistically called "three-inch golden lotus", to put it bluntly, it is foot binding. This incident is really a national humiliation and exposes the ugliness of feudal society.

In English, there is a special term "foot binding". Now some foreigners still humiliate China with this incident. Lu Xun wrote Diary of a Madman, saying that he saw the word "cannibalism" in the history of two thousand years. Foot binding is actually a kind of abnormal "cannibalism".

Foot-binding, also known as foot-binding-that is, binding the feet with cloth and silk to deform them, was very popular among ancient Han people. When girls are still young, use a piece of cloth to press the toes except the thumb to the soles of the feet and wrap them hard, forcing the toes to move closer to the heels to shorten the feet, and at the same time making the soles of the feet from flat to sharp.

The little toe wrapped is very thin, and some sour scholars call it lotus petal.

After foot binding, you can generally limit your feet to four or five inches, and the smallest one is three inches, which is called "three-inch golden lotus".

After foot-binding, women's feet are weak, they are unstable and have difficulty walking. Therefore, the exclusive literati appreciate this so-called morbid beauty.

Beginning in the Warring States period, the evidence seems to be insufficient. But it originated in the Song Dynasty, which is certainly not true.

Generally speaking, foot binding is bound to be related to the establishment of patriarchal concepts and customs; It must also be related to the dominant chastity view of "three obedience and four virtues" after Dong Zhongshu in Han Dynasty.

The second sentence of Two-way Entanglement written by Yuefu in the Six Dynasties says: "Silla embroidery is as beautiful as spring." Which means there was foot binding.

Tang Du Mu's poem Ode to Socks says: "The cymbal ruler is reduced by four points, and the slim jade bamboo shoots are wrapped in light clouds." This boasting is undoubtedly foot-binding.

The article "Brocade on Shoes" says: "Weaver's feet are wrapped in splendid flowers, and Yan Wanchang's moths knot _". This is awesome, and it must be foot binding.

In the Tang Dynasty, foot-binding seemed not uncommon. It is said that foot-binding originated in the Song Dynasty, mainly based on Zhang Bangji, a scholar in the Song Dynasty. Its cloud, women's foot-binding, began in modern times, and the previous generation of literature can not be found. He also cited the Southern History and some poems of the Six Dynasties as examples to prove that no one talked about foot binding.

Later, Tao quoted Zhang Bangji at the end of Yuan Dynasty as saying that foot binding began in Song Dynasty.

Of course, foot-binding gradually became popular in the Song Dynasty, mainly as a symbol of family power and wealth.

Su Shi's poem Huanxisha in Song Dynasty. A gift for Chu Shoutian at the banquet "said-

Learning to draw crows is a wonderful year, and Cai is trapped in Yangcheng. Don't sing short karma alone.

Blowing sheng is fragrant in the mist account, and Juanjuan in the frost court shines on the dancing moon. At the end of the song, the tea leaves are twisted.

Foot-binding reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it was difficult for Han women to get married without foot-binding.

Emperor Shunzhi and Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty once ordered that foot binding was forbidden. For example, the Shunzhi dynasty issued an order prohibiting women born at that time from binding their feet. It got worse later. Anyone who resists foot binding is punished with 80 sticks by her husband or father and exiled for 3000 miles.

But it seems to have little effect.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom once strictly ordered foot binding.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Kang Youwei established the "No Foot-binding Club" and launched the Tianzu Movement.

However, it was not until the early years of the Republic of China that the government officially issued a document urging the prohibition of foot-binding, and informed all provinces that offenders would be severely punished, and this bad habit gradually ended.

Feng Jicai, a writer, wrote a novel called Three-Inch Golden Lotus, which was published in the third issue of 1986 Harvest and published in a single book.

This book is the second part of the author's combined novel Shi Shuo Xin Yu. It tells the story of a poor woman, Xiang Lian, who bound her feet in childhood, later married into a rich family because of her beauty, and fell out of favor in two "foot races", thus becoming a defender of the custom of bound feet.

The description in the book is so detailed that I can't bear to read it, and I feel sick from time to time, which shows how ugly the bad habit of foot binding is.

If someone still praises "Three-inch Golden Lotus", he should be slapped with a hundred big mouths.
