Why did Manchu people who had been living on horseback start to carry out foot binding after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty?

In fact, they never practiced foot binding from the beginning. Before they entered the customs, Huang Taiji gave an order not to follow those women's foot binding. The emperor shunzhi also gave these orders. He wanted to change the bad habit of foot-binding of Han women, but it was useless.

Moreover, they entered the Central Plains, because although the Manchus were in power, the Han nationality had the largest population, so there would still be a certain degree of sinicization. Since they have been sinicized, they will begin to appreciate this kind of foot binding, just like previous scholars. And at that time, many people really didn't regard foot binding as a bad habit, but passed it on as a culture of the Han nationality. Although I don't know why they think so, in fact, many people think so, including those Han people, and they don't think this is a bad habit. Because their aesthetics have also changed, which may be influenced.

In fact, after discovering this bad habit, even after the prohibition of alcohol was promulgated, they all gave up, and only the Manchu people were forbidden to bind their feet, but everyone liked to bind their feet, especially those Manchu people. It may be because of the sinicization that their aesthetics and so on began to be sinicized, and then they especially liked Chinese culture, so even this kind of foot binding was promoted together. Even though the king issued a restraining order, they were still secretly binding their feet. By the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the restraining order was abolished because it was useless and uncontrollable. Since then, people from all walks of life in the whole society have been bound feet, and some people have resisted foot binding, but compared with others, there are still fewer.

Therefore, I don't blame the rulers for not letting the grassland culture enter the Manchu Dynasty, but the common people don't want that culture. Because of sinicization, they like the culture of the Han nationality, including foot binding.
