What are the three terrible customs in the world, traditional cultures that spread in the long river of history?

In the long history of mankind, there are many horrible customs.

For example, women's foot-binding custom in China, 1, 000 years ago, when girls were 6 years old or under, they tied their feet tightly with cloth strips, which suppressed their normal development. When they grow up, their feet become deformed, and they can't walk far and walk slowly. Limited the scope of their activities. This is the cruel behavior of the ancient feudal rulers in China towards women, and it is also a backward and ignorant bad habit, which was abolished after the demise of the Qing Dynasty.

Facial tattoo is an ancient custom in a backward place in Africa, Benin and China. From an early age, they draw marks on children's faces with sharp objects such as stones or glass to show their identity, the facial scar, its shape and its appearance, so that they can know which tribe and religion they belong to.

They think these scars are a symbol of pride. They made an incision in the children's skin. The shape and size of incisions are closely related to the symbols of their ancestors. People can know which religion and nationality they belong to when they see several gaps in his face. This is also a cruel and destructive behavior. This backward custom has become increasingly unpopular. Cutting the skin will not only lead to skin infection, but also cause disfigurement.

Lip plate culture, as its name implies, is to decorate all kinds of ornaments, hang plates or particularly huge objects on the lips. Instead, I think it's beautiful. This is also true in Africa. They say it is a sign of women's maturity, ensuring their own characteristics and not being considered as members of other competitors or other tribes. It's also an identification, just like a tattoo.

When those women 15 years old, their lips were pierced and the gap was opened with a cork. Once the gap began to heal, the girl hung wooden pallet and other heavy objects on her lips, making her lips deformed, big and ugly, and she could hang more heavy objects. They think it is beautiful and a symbol of status. It is an ancient custom that still exists today.
