Li Yu has no skill, but he writes poems well. If you are not good at state affairs, you will be addicted to poetry and painting. According to legend, Li Yu likes the dancing of ladies-in-waiting, let her imitate it? Step by step? Dance of allusions. Made a six-foot-tall golden lotus and tricked her into dancing the golden lotus dance.
The area of golden lotus is very small, and only one person can be accommodated on it. My mother tried many times, but she couldn't stand still. Later, I thought about it and felt that my feet were too big. So she wrapped her feet tightly with white silk and held back the painful arrow that even plunged into her heart. When she got better, she forced her feet to bend into a crescent shape. After hard training, Renniang finally became a golden lotus dance. Li Houzhu appreciates this graceful posture and swaying posture very much, and foot-binding has also spread at this point.
But this statement is not the definitive answer to the source of foot binding. Although there is a saying: The experiment of foot-binding began in Li Houzhu during the Southern Tang Dynasty. However, from the actual pictures, sculptures and unearthed ancient women's shoes, there is no factual evidence of foot binding before the Song Dynasty. A large number of historical data show that foot binding really began in the Song Dynasty.
The appearance of foot binding may have a lot to do with the aesthetics of deformity. First of all, the rulers of the dynasty inexplicably treated their feet as beautiful women, and then the common people began to follow suit. Literati also tried to describe the light posture of foot-binding women. What? Is there a breath of spring? ,? Silent step on the moon? . People think that women's unstable posture due to pain is beautiful, wobbly, cautious and feminine.
This view now feels simply unreasonable. At the expense of violating the human body structure? Feet? First of all, he looks ugly, his feet are deformed and he is unwell. Not to mention that women have to endure long-term pain and may even be disabled.
Of course, the popularity of foot binding is also related to the patriarchal society. With the popularization of three-inch golden lotus, the range of activities of women is greatly limited. Simple actions like standing and walking may require the help of tools. ? The woman in charge? Become natural, there is no room for resistance at all.
Fortunately, foot binding has long been abolished, and women no longer have to endure this inhuman pain. But it's not foot-binding, it may be those high heels with a height of 10cm.
