What are the dross of China traditional culture?

First of all, the most lasting influence among the dross is the custom of foot-binding of ancient women. The custom of foot-binding existed in the Song Dynasty, and it didn't disappear completely until the founding of New China. Foot-binding is when a woman is young, she wraps her feet tightly with a piece of cloth and keeps it all the time. At that time, women's bones were still developing. Because of the bondage of cloth strips, the bones slowly bend until they are deformed, and the bones of the feet stop developing, and the feet are still as big as children. This custom is extremely cruel and has caused countless women to suffer for hundreds of years. It did harm to physical disability and mobility, but it did no good at all, just to cater to the distorted aesthetics of the ruling class at that time.

The system of human sacrifice is also the dross of China culture. In ancient times, whenever a high-ranking person died, there were always a large number of innocent people buried with him. This system is mainly for the deceased to enjoy the splendor they enjoyed when they were alive after death. This is an ignorant system. Sometimes, people who are buried with their families are willing to be buried with them in exchange for high remuneration, while others are forced to be buried with them. Even after the death of some nobles, their relatives and friends will grab some ordinary people at will and bury them for him. The Ming dynasty stipulated that empresses should be buried with the emperor.

In ancient times, ignoring businessmen was also a kind of cultural dross. In ancient times, agriculture was valued over commerce, and businessmen were at the bottom of society and were despised by people. Businessmen are even stipulated that no matter how rich the family is, they can't buy luxury jewelry, go out by carriage and live a simple life. In fact, the economic development of a country is so important that only businessmen can promote economic development to the maximum extent, create wealth for society and put businessmen at the bottom of social status. This is the real cultural dross.
