She married into the rich family at the age of 15 by relying on the "three-inch golden lotus", and she cried in pain when washing her feet, but her husband liked it tightly
As we all know, China's ancient is a feudal society, in our country's more than two thousand years of feudal history, has always been the pursuit of male superiority and female inferiority, ancient women's social status is low, a lifetime of occasional reading attached to men to survive, is a man's appendage. Ancient practice is the polygamy system, men can three wives and four concubines left hug right, even outside the day and wine, for women are very harsh, women are bound by various feudal customs, from childhood was taught three from four virtues from one to the end, after marriage is not out of the door two doors do not step, at home husbands teach their children to serve their mother-in-law, women's life can not be wrong half a step, otherwise they will be pointed out by the world. Under this social atmosphere of male superiority and female inferiority, from the princes and nobles to the common people, everyone has a serious patriarchal mentality, people think that men can pass on the generations, the glory of the ancestors, and the women are money-losing goods, unable to bring any honor to the family. In ancient times, there were not only various rules and regulations on women's bodies, but also many bad habits, which were very harmful to women, such as foot binding is one of the bad habits.
Foot binding is to use cloth to wrap women's feet tightly, so that the feet become deformed, will not grow again, ancient women generally four or five years old will begin to wrap feet, until adulthood will be untied cloth, women's feet will show a deformed state, the ancients also think that this more deformed feet are very beautiful. The style of foot binding began in the Northern Song Dynasty, and until the Ming and Qing dynasties, the wind of foot binding reached its peak, and almost all women's feet were wrapped into small feet. Foot binding not only seriously affects the development of women's feet, but also makes people form a deformed aesthetic point of view, foot binding makes the social atmosphere of male superiority and female inferiority more serious, increases the restraint on women, foot binding hinders women's words and actions, because the feet are very painful, so women can not walk on their own, rich and noble ladies after wrapping their feet There are maids to help each other, do not have to do anything all day. After the women of the average family wrap their feet, they still need to do a lot of chores, and the foot binding limits their movements and makes these women miserable. Until the Republic of China period, in the crusades of various revolutionary movements and radicals such as Sun Yat-sen, foot binding also disappeared into the tide of history.
Although foot binding is very painful for women, but in the social situation at that time, almost all the women of famous and prestigious families are foot binding, in ancient times, foot binding has even become a symbol of wealth, many families in the daughter-in-law, are to see whether the other party has foot binding. The aesthetics of ancient men have also become deformed because of foot binding, and they believe that women's feet that have been wrapped in their feet have a pathological beauty. If anyone has seen the feet of the ancient people wrapped around their feet, they will not be able to bear to look directly, the feet are twisted together, those of us who watch can feel the pain, but the ancient men liked these feet very much. During the Qing Dynasty, there was a woman named Zhou Niang, Zhou Niang was outstanding in appearance, and she grew up to be very tall, and many people said that Zhou Niang would be able to marry into a rich family and live a rich life. Zhou Niang's parents were even happier when they heard it, but at this time, the women of various large families in the Qing Dynasty were wrapped in their feet, and Zhou Niang was still a pair of big feet, so Zhou Niang's parents decided to wrap zhou niang's feet, and when they wrapped their feet, Zhou Niang's parents looked at their daughter's painful appearance, and they couldn't bear it in their hearts, but they still made up their minds to wrap their feet around her.
After that, Zhou Niang's feet stopped growing, looking like a three-inch golden lotus, Zhou Niang also became a famous beauty around because of this pair of feet and face, soon reached the age of fifteen, Zhou Niang also reached the age of becoming a parent, many people around came to say kiss, and finally Zhou Niang married a famous local family, living a life of brocade and jade food, after marriage, Zhou Niang lived very well, usually there are still servants waiting, but her heart for this pair of three-inch golden lotus is very hateful, foot binding makes her feet become deformed, Even if you can't walk alone, walking a few steps on your feet will be very painful, every night when you wash your feet, Zhou Niang will shed tears of pain. But for these feet, Zhou Niang's husband is very fond of it, whenever he sees Zhou Niang's feet, Zhou Niang's husband will love it, under this deformed aesthetic, it is Zhou Niang who silently endures the pain, watching her husband love, Zhou Niang also has to swallow the pain.
Fortunately, with the change of the times, the bad habit of foot binding has completely disappeared in the tide of history, the existence of foot binding, so that the fate of women is more tragic, after the woman's foot binding, the pace is difficult, making the social status of women lower and lower.
