Three-inch golden lotus-the abnormal aesthetic exists for thousands of years

As men play an increasingly important economic role in production and life, women are increasingly becoming male accessories. The strength of men's economic strength determines the degree of perversion to women's beauty! Like a waist like a willow, an eyebrow like a daisy, an eye like a phoenix, a face like a full moon and so on. And men have different requirements for beauty in different periods. Throughout the ages, in many pursuits of women's beauty, the beauty of " three-inch golden lotus " is indeed the most perverted beauty requirement of men for women!

1. "Three-inch Golden Lotus". The so-called "three-inch golden lotus" means that when a girl is three or four years old, wraps the girl's small feet tightly with cloth strips and fixes them with calf horns to force the deformity of the feet to grow smaller. Men love about three inches. The small feet, so commonly known as "three-inch golden lotus" (one inch is only 3.333 cm, three inches about 10 cm). This is no longer a pair of feet, but a woman full of accusations, and later generations can't help but sigh. It's really "a pair of little feet, a tank of tears".

2. The history of foot-binding tumors. According to scholars' textual research, women's foot binding was passed down from the court of Li Yu, the queen lord of and southern Tang during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The emperor Li Yu did not do business in his entire life, did not delve into issues such as politics, military affairs, and people's livelihood. However, he prefers to write lyrics, has a brilliant literary talent, and is very romantic. In the harem, a dancer named Yinniang wrapped her feet in cloth strips to please Li Yu. At this time, her feet could not stand normally. She danced with grace and grace, which won Li Yu's praise. "If there is a demand, it is the market." The foot-binding trend prevailed in the palace and gradually spread. And at that time, foot binding was exclusive to the privileged class and was limited to noble women.(Think about the daughter of a poor family who wants to work in the field. To wrap her feet is equivalent to missing a labor force and becomes a luxury. Just think about these deformed feet.)

3. Foot-binding tumors grow downward. The Southern Tang Dynasty destroyed the country because of Li Yu, an unreliable emperor, but because of his small feet catering to Li Yu, it spread, although it did not flourish in the Northern Song Dynasty. But foot binding is no longer exclusive to aristocratic women, it is taking root, sprouting and growing downward . In the Southern Song Dynasty, parents bound their daughters' feet as long as they had the right conditions for marriage.

The Yuan Dynasty implemented the ethnic discrimination policy to divide the population into four classes: first-class Mongolians , second-class Semu people, third-class Han people, and fourth-class southerners. I do not know why? The machete of the ancients also failed to get rid of the cancerous foot-binding. I don’t know if it’s to retain our own national characteristics (if the small feet are our national characteristics), or can’t resist the Mongols’ iron cavalry, so I can only extend my claws to the women who are attached to him in order to prove that I’m still three-dimensional. the man. The tumor is widespread among Han and Nan people, and it continues to grow slim and compact (more abnormal).

After the Yuan Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, the foot-binding wind entered its prosperous period. Men's requirements for beautiful feet became more and more specific, and they even proposed the "three-inch golden lotus", which is not enough to bend and bow. In order to have such a pair of beautiful feet, girls began to bind their feet when they were four or five years old, and remained in a state of binding their feet after death. This is a cruel thing.

4. Men would rather shave pig tails than free women’s feet. After entering the Qing Dynasty, men are required to shave their hair, but women who continue to bind their feet do not care too much. Anyway, Man Meng women don’t bind their feet,They rode and archery fully demonstrated the boldness of the nomads. On the contrary, after the men shaved their pigtails, they raised the requirement for women's foot binding. Whether or not the foot binding has become a compulsory condition for selecting marriage partners, women who did not bind their feet became "difficult households" in marriage. Don’t know why?

Women with small feet

After the Republic of China, the Women's Liberation Movement began, and women with foot binding in New China have almost disappeared. With the continuous improvement of women's economic status, the social and family status has undergone earth-shaking changes. Marx said in "Span4span Hegel's Critique of the Philosophy of Law " that "the economic base determines the superstructure". I believe that "the economic base determines everything!"
