Foot binding can seriously deform women's feet. Why did China require women to bind their feet in ancient times?

In ancient times, women were required to bind their feet because the "three-inch golden lotus" was beautiful in ancient times. If women did not bind their feet, they could not get married in ancient times, which is actually a bad habit.

Foot-binding brings great pain to women, which is simply a kind of torture. Foot-binding restricts the normal growth of women's feet and makes them bend. This process is cruel. In general, ancient women began to bind their feet when they were younger, because their feet were still relatively small at that time. The sooner they were bound, the smaller their feet became. But girls can't bind their feet, otherwise it will delay women's walking. Therefore, the average woman can walk before she starts to bind her feet.

There is also a saying that women bind their feet to prevent women from running around. In ancient times, we paid attention to three obedience and four virtues, and hoped that women would stay at home honestly and not go out to show their faces, so we had the anti-human bad habit of foot binding. In addition, it was thought in ancient times that women with big feet in little ass were more likely to have sons. But in fact, this statement has no scientific basis, but was recognized by the ancients, which led to many women's tragedies.

The bad habit of foot-binding gradually disappeared in the late Qing Dynasty, and only a few phenomena remained after the founding of New China. In today's society, we can't see women who bind their feet. Only elderly grandmothers may still have this habit of foot binding. For the traditional culture of China, we should adopt the attitude of "taking the essence and discarding the dross" and resolutely resist some bad habits to prevent them from persecuting women. Contemporary society should pay attention to equality between men and women, and such a society is a civilized society.
