Foot binding reduces women's enthusiasm for dancing and sports. For example, the dance art imported from China by North Korea and Japan has been developing continuously. On the contrary, in China, the development of dance art has stagnated with the development of foot binding.
In the era of foot-binding, women often compare themselves to "legless crabs". It is difficult to walk with small feet. If you move, you must hold the wall and hold the pole with crutches. You can only keep maids if you have the conditions. Even' the handmaid can only go to the atrium', I hear from time to time that you are completely supported by others. If you are alone, it is difficult to move from one room to another. As for going out on the road, even if you hold the staff to help the maid, you will be panting if you don't go far.
Foot-binding makes women suffer and suffer for no reason. Difficulties in walking hinder women's normal participation in social work and social activities. Women are confined in boudoir, ignorant, and lose their livelihood skills, thus developing dependence, arrogance, inertia and inferiority, which also makes women's social status even lower.
Extended data:
China has a vast territory, and the methods, ages, requirements and order of foot binding vary from place to place, which also leads to the unique lotus shape in different places. Generally speaking, northerners are taller, and the script is longer than southerners, so it will still be wrapped longer than southerners.
However, due to the cold weather in the north, the feet are not easy to fester and tinea for a long time, and they don't need to be washed often, so they are easier to wrap more firmly than women in the south. In addition, the shoes in the north are thicker, and the wrapping cloth can be thicker, which is beneficial to wrap the soles of the feet thinner.
The characteristics of northerners' feet are pointed and thin, because they are tightly wrapped and generally softer than southerners. This is a general distribution, and the actual situation varies from place to place. In Qing Dynasty, several areas in China were famous for their little feet, and each area had its own characteristics.
