When did the custom of ancient women's foot binding begin?

Foot-binding is a bad habit that ancient women in China had to experience in a certain period of time. When they were about five or six years old, the girl's feet were tightly wrapped in cloth, which caused her feet to be deformed and unable to grow up, which was very harmful to her health. Her walking for the rest of her life is a problem. This bad habit has severely oppressed women, and has been hurt psychologically and physically, which is equivalent to western waist-binding.

First, men's bad taste This system fully reflects the low status of women in feudal society. In men's mouth, they cry out for their parents who are suffering from physical pain. They seem to have dignity, but they are actually destroying women. They always think that women's feet are more beautiful, so for their abnormal aesthetics, women's feet are deformed and deeply hurt. Especially in the Ming dynasty, men were obsessed with feet and judged whether a woman was beautiful or not.

Second, the origin of three-inch golden lotus is really popular. It was in the Song Dynasty that women were allowed to wrap their feet, but at first it did not cause serious harm to women or deform their feet. Foot-binding was not popular in the minority period. Therefore, after the Yuan Dynasty unified the Central Plains after the Song Dynasty, it was not important for them to advocate the habit of foot-binding of Han people. Therefore, since the Ming Dynasty, women's foot binding has entered a prosperous period, which has also been used for women's feet.

Third, the development of foot-binding in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties The saying of three-inch golden lotus officially appeared in the Ming Dynasty, which also reflected people's aesthetics of deformed feet at that time. But people's minds were also open at that time, so some people chose not to bind their feet. During the reign of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, women were forbidden to bind their feet, but in the eyes of the people, this has become their habit. The government thinks it's no big deal, so it doesn't matter. In the late Qing Dynasty, foot binding began gradually and was not abolished until the late Qing Dynasty.
