How to bind yourself? It's best to struggle to drive ~

Everyone knows the boundaries, but they are all vague, and few people are willing to discuss them in detail. The author is not competent enough, so he is willing to use this place to say a few words.

Let's start with a small tie and a big tie. The so-called small tie, just tied hands, other parts of the body without rope. There is a kind of escort binding (also called wearing a small linen shirt), just the opposite: the prisoner is bound from neck to shoulder to arm, but the arm is not tied, and the arm is tied behind the back, fixed to the neck, shoulders and upper body, and cannot move, but the arm and hand have a certain range of motion. This is to make prisoners have no full freedom in the process of escort, and they can barely take care of themselves (such as eating, drinking and urinating). ), and vice versa. A big tie is to tie your wrists, or your arms, or your body, or even your chest, back, neck, arms and other parts with ropes.

As for why it is called five flowers, there are different opinions: some say that the binder first makes five sets of (flower) ropes, and then tightens the ropes to bind them; There is a saying that the bound person has five ropes (one in the throat and two in the left and right arms) from the front; It has also been pointed out that the so-called "bound" means that the binding rope at the back is $-shaped: $-shaped means five separate rope ends, and the top two rope ends are wrapped around the shoulders and straddled on the chest or tied behind along the armpit. The middle two rope ends are the upper arm of the binder, and the lower one is the wrist of the binder. Netizens' understanding of adventure is ingenious. He thinks that the word "flower" with five flowers means "knot", which means five kinds of rope buckles. First of all, there is a double-ring "buckle" for putting the rope on the back of the neck, and a single-ring "buckle" for each wrist when the arm is wrapped around the wrist, so there are three "pattern" buckles (the buckles on the left and right wrists are actually the same). Then, at the wrists of both hands, wrap the closed rope several times to make a rope buckle. This button is the key. If you don't play well, you will break free. This kind of buckle is often used as a "loop buckle" like a clip, because the rope will eventually be pulled up through the buckle at the back of the neck, so it is very safe to make a loop buckle here. This is the fourth flower. Finally, put the rope head through the rope buckle reserved on the rope at the back of the neck, pull down the rope with one hand, push the tied hand up with the other hand, and tie a knot at the rope buckle after tightening, thus completing the "five flowers bound". There are only five flowers (knots) at the moment. Men and other netizens stressed that the bound person should use a cross rope to outline the outline, whether it is above the chest or between the breasts. Five flowers not only refer to the five flowers behind, but also highlight the big tie in front! Call it bondage. Of course, there are other sayings, but they are all the same.

The origin of flower-wrapped appellation is hard to find even in the old Ci Hai, but it has been recorded in the novel Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses in the late Qing Dynasty, which may have originated from the people. However, the method of binding flowers is much longer. Because shackles such as cangue and iron shackles are complicated to make, especially inconvenient to carry, and ropes are the easiest to obtain and carry, they naturally become the first choice for restraining prisoners. In the 1950s, China was still arresting people with ropes. Because the small tie only binds the wrist, other parts of the prisoner's body, especially his arms, are free. You can lean out the tied hand from the side, observe the state of the tie and try to untie it. A strong man can loosen his tie as long as he persists in his struggle. Flexible people can even turn their hands from the back to the front through their hips and legs, so be sure to tie them up. Everyone is most familiar with Lu Bu who was captured in the White Gate Tower. The invincible flying general was tied into a ball by a rope, indicating that at least in the Han Dynasty, a complicated tying method was formed (this paragraph is a historical fact, not invented by Luo Guanzhong).

The most obvious feature of bough-bound flowers is that they are tied from the prisoner's neck, which is still jokingly called "wearing a linen collar" and "tying two dragon arms" in the south. Look it up in the dictionary. The bandage says: A way to tie people up. Put a rope around your neck and cut your arm behind your back. Just by comparing this simple introduction, we can see that those Japanese-style tying methods starting from the hands or chest are not tied. It can be said that "national tie" exists in all countries, but the specific tie method called "national tie" is China's original creation and the quintessence of our country. Many netizens call it "national tie", which makes sense. Some people say that Japanese or western-style bound flowers are not objective.

The tied flowers are simple and lively, and can be fixed with only one rope. Fast binding speed, extremely difficult to break free, very practical! Compared with Japanese and western tying methods (which can be described as stupefied), the tied woman can still twist and stretch in a limited space after being tied, which is more elegant and moving. The following summarizes three styles of tied flowers.

First, the traditional forms of bound flowers: (divided into positive and negative)

Front type:

1. First, fold the tether (about seven meters) in half to make a small loop (no loop).

2. Put the rope loop on the back neck.

3. Pull the rope forward along the shoulder and hang it on your chest.

4. Thread the rope from both armpits to the back (rub shoulders).

5. Make two or three turns on the upper arm and one turn on the lower arm. Every turn must be knotted to prevent slipping.

6. Pull both ends of the rope back to the back and pull it to the loop of the back neck.

7. There are the following three completion methods:

A) Pull down the rope that passes through the loop of the back neck, and at the same time push the forearm of the bound person upward as much as possible. Make the model's arms cross in opposite directions, and the wrists cross upward at the back, and try to support them between the two shoulder blades; Tie the wrist tightly with the pulled rope and finally tie the knot. (This is a crane)

B) Pull down the rope that passes through the ring of the back neck, and at the same time, lift the prisoner's forearm up to the right elbow of the left fork and the left elbow of the right fork, in a parallel state. Tie the middle of the elbow side by side with the pulled rope, then wrap it around the sides in different directions, tie the knot at the elbow side by side, then pass the rope through the bottom ring of the big arm and finally gather in the small rope ring at the back. This is a flat tie.

C) Pull down the rope passing through the back neck ring, cross the prisoner's wrist at the same time, and tie it tightly with the pulled rope. Then, the remaining ropes respectively go up through the last loop of the big arm and backward through the last loop of the other big arm. After putting them on, they are pulled tightly and collected in a small circle on the back. (This is a vertical tie)

Negative type:

1. First, fold the tether (about seven meters) in half to form a larger loop.

2. The rope loop is in front, from the prisoner's head, bypassing the prisoner's throat from front to back.

3. Thread the rope behind the rope loop from the two armpits of the prisoner to the front.

4. Make two or three turns on the upper arm and one turn on the lower arm. Every turn must be knotted to prevent slipping.

The following steps, like the formal ones, are also divided into three styles: hanging, flat and hanging.

Second, modify the boundaries:

Traditional tied flowers are the most popular and the longest. But its shortcomings are also obvious. Especially the shoulder towel in the frontal binding method, it is easy to be bound under the condition of lax monitoring. If the prisoner can find something with a protruding tip, such as a hard tree fork, the tip of a railing, or even the sharp corner on the upper part of a door or window, he can pick the rope for wiping his shoulder behind his back and loosen it. And because the whole rope is integrated, as long as one place is loose, it will become looser and looser after constant struggle, and finally the prisoner will come out of the rope buckle. Although the traditional form of tied flowers does not have this drawback, tightening the throat for a long time will cause various accidents to prisoners. Therefore, there is an improved binding mode. Compared with the traditional method, this method has only one change, that is, the fourth step of rubbing shoulders is changed to a small cross on the chest, that is, the rope placed behind the neck is crossed on the chest, and then wrapped around the upper arm through two armpits. Other steps are the same as the traditional method. In this way, the rope is entangled and pulled everywhere, and it is not easy to break. If it's really tied, it's hard to take it off.

Due to the long-term cultural isolation, the improved binding method in Hong Kong and Taiwan is slightly different from that in mainland China: the two ends of the rope are pulled forward behind the neck, that is, they do not pass through the armpit or cross, but are twisted into a strand in front of the throat, twisted down to the chest, and then tied back to the big arm separately. The procedure is basically the same as that of the mainland.

Third, ornamental binding:

It is said that in the past, every time a female prisoner was "on a red errand" (tied to the execution ground), it was a major event in the local area, and the reason is not difficult to guess. Bound by feudal ethics, women wore wide dresses (except in the prosperous Tang Dynasty), which made it impossible for outsiders to feel their feminine symbols, while female prisoners wore narrow clothes (prison clothes) or were corseted, exposing female characteristics and making men feast their eyes. So women are tied up and there is an element of decoration. The rope is pulled forward from the back of the female prisoner's neck in a figure of eight, which makes the unique shoulder-cutting beauty of oriental women more prominent; A few tight hemp ropes on the arm fall into the skin, making the upper arm look like fresh lotus root, which is extremely sexy. When the female prisoner's arms are turned back to her back, her second sexual characteristic chest will naturally stand forward, and if there is a cross-tied rope on her chest, her chest will be more rigid; The tight rope at the waist clearly outlines the curves of their waist and buttocks, and the feminine charm is unobstructed, which makes people take in everything in a glance.

With the development of China's civilization and the rapid reduction of the phenomenon of binding prisoners, a new form of binding has emerged in the content of mutual love between men and women. The boring Japanese rope art is disgusting; Savage western-style binding is daunting; Only the ties in our country are the best pets. Therefore, an ornamental bouquet composed of traditional bouquet and improved bouquet is becoming more and more popular.

What does decorative binding look like? Everything is the same. It just adds throat tightening, chest tightening and waist tightening to the traditional forms of flower wrapping (shoulder rubbing, arm wrapping and wrist hanging), commonly known as "three pleasures". The function of these three stranglers is to hold the throat, that is, tie the rope from the back of the neck to the front. The throat-pulling rope is connected with the wrist-hanging rope at the back, so that the bound person can't bend down and always keep the most beautiful posture of holding his head up and chest out; The corset refers to the cross of the chest strap. Throat, arm, waist oblique horizontal rope, horizontal rope; The longitudinal ties between shoulders and underarms set off each other, presenting a geometric beauty; It can also make the breasts of bound people towering, which is an important part of highlighting the beauty of women's breasts. Abdominal distension refers to pulling the binding rope at the back forward to prevent the bound person's skirt from swaying and cover up the beauty of slim waist. Tightening the chest and abdomen can also solve the shortcoming that traditional tied flowers are not suitable for hanging (because when traditional tied flowers are hung, people's weight is concentrated on their arms and wrists, which makes the tied people extremely painful. People who like to hang have to tie it in Japanese style with a horizontal rope on their chest, so that the tied model can bear it. The oblique cross on the chest and the horizontal tether on the waist of the decorative five-flower tie can disperse the weight of the tied person more than the Japanese tie. )
