Chapter 300: Three-inch Golden Lotus

At this moment, Wang Qing remembered that in another time and space, the woman had already begun to bind her feet. The initial foot wrapping is just a slight barrier with a cloth, that is, to make the feet straighter. This is a bit like the braces of later generations, which play a kind of corrective role. Moreover, the people who bound their feet were mostly women who served in Israel at the beginning, just like Taoyao who became a dancer.

But later, the more noble the status of the woman, the more she has to wrap, and the foot is getting smaller and smaller, the best requirement is a three-inch golden lotus, of course, better than a three-inch small. As a result, many of them have been bound since they were five or six years old.

"Sister Rong, have you heard of the Golden Lotus Dance that Tao Yao danced a few years ago?" Wang Qing asked, and her words made Mrs. Chai a little curious. However, in order to write a book, she collected a lot of information, and after thinking about it for a while, she remembered that there was information about it. But I don't know why, this matter quickly disappeared, why did Wang Qing ask this question?

"I've heard of it, what's the matter, you made a move on this matter?" Mrs. Chai nodded, and at first said it casually, but quickly, she reacted. Mrs. Chai's eyes widened uncontrollably, and she didn't believe her thoughts, and even paused when she spoke.

She didn't know why Wang Qing would intervene in this matter, and it was said that it would not be Wang Qing's turn to make a move in this trivial matter. But is it really a trifle? At this moment, Mrs. Chai thought about it very carefully, Wang Qing would never make a move for no reason, I don't know what the reason is? Thinking of this, she looked at Wang Qing, hoping that she could answer her question.

Wang Qing changed his posture, "Yes." It's my hand, Sister Rong, you may not have thought that if I didn't stop it, Tao Yao's name would spread all over China, and then there would be countless Tao Yao. What else can't a woman do in order to compete for favor? "After Nanliang's harem was favored by Taoyao, some people followed suit, but unfortunately after Wang Qing gave the lord of the country, he entered the cold palace one by one. Naturally, there is no need to learn any more.

When Wang Qing said this. lowered her eyes, blocking the cold light in her eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. "The most unique thing about Tao Yao is her little feet that are hard wrapped. So you say will there be a day. All who do women. Will you be asked to bind your little feet? Wang Qing's gaze looked into the distance, with an indescribable melancholy.

In fact, wrapping a woman's heavenly feet into a three-inch golden lotus is the joint efforts of many men and women. This. Wang Qing didn't know what to say, the most difficult women in the world are also women. What's more, in the later stage of aesthetics, if it is Tianzu, no matter how beautiful the face is, it will not become a beauty.

The essential element of a beautiful woman is to have a three-inch golden lotus, which is an ugly golden lotus in the eyes of later generations, and it is a beautiful beauty among many literati and artists. The most ridiculous thing is that some people use the golden lotus shoes of those wine girls as wine glasses! Wang Qing wanted to vomit when he saw this scene, and those literati and artists who thought they were romantic were very beautiful.

"That's supposed to be a woman who serves people in Israel, so she can wrap it, right?" Of course, Mrs. Chai didn't believe it, most of the Han people were influenced by Confucianism, and most of them pursued the hair and skin of the body, and their parents did not dare to hurt it, how could it be? Mrs. Chai's eyes gleamed with doubt.

Wang Qing shook his head, "At first, it was just some women, but men would like that difference, and then gradually formed a habit. Sister Rong, do you remember what I said? The kind of woman with a long neck is the most beautiful. ”

After Mrs. Chai heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched sharply, and there was nothing strange in the world. Wang Qing is talking about a small place in a certain country, where they regard long necks as beauty, so at the young age of girls, they put rings around their necks, and they lengthened their necks little by little, so that later, if they took those rings, those women were said to not survive.

Mrs. Chai did not understand their aesthetics at all, and in her opinion, people are not giraffes, what should they do with such long necks? Of course, those locals have always thought that a woman with a long neck is beautiful, and if you look at a short neck, you don't feel beautiful. In the same way, Mrs. Chai also doesn't look down on women with long necks, which feels weird, this is the difference in aesthetics.

Suddenly, Mrs. Chai understood the meaning of Wang Qing's speech, once everyone agreed that wrapping small feet was a trait of a beauty, then wrapping small feet would become the general trend, and she exclaimed: "It turns out that it is really possible." ”

Wang Qing nodded slightly, "Just like those famous prostitutes in the previous dynasty, they can not be beautiful, but they must have poems and books in their bellies." In other words, the famous prostitutes of the previous dynasty may not be beauties, but they must be talented women. However, Wang Qing was speechless when he thought of the makeup of the previous dynasty, and this strange aesthetic was also popular, and it was simply strange to shave his eyebrows and turn them into thick and black eyebrows.

"And their makeup is weird enough, how do you feel like you've seen a ghost." Wang Qing was used to the so-called nude makeup later, and when he looked at the makeup that painted his face snow-white and turned into a cherry mouth, the fact was that there was an indescribable weirdness.

Mrs. Chai was getting up at this time, and now she looked back at the makeup she once thought was beautiful, and she did have a strange feeling. Indeed, once it becomes a trend, then the unbeautiful becomes beautiful. In addition, the previous dynasty regarded fat as beauty, so Zhao Feiyan was reborn in the Tang Dynasty, and she was definitely not a beauty.

If it becomes a trend to wrap small feet, as soon as Mrs. Chai thought of this, she heard Wang Qing say: "And the smaller this foot, the better, to become a three-inch golden lotus, or even smaller." "Mrs. Chai's eyes are wide open, this is too unusual, three inches, it is very small, and it is even smaller. Mrs. Chai stomped her feet, if it was three inches, how big would she have to cut it, and she shuddered at the thought of this.

"And does this person still have the ability to walk?" Mrs. Chai thought for a moment, and finally asked her own question, "You can walk, but you can't go fast, and if you really want to go, it's best to be supported." Wang Qing remembered that even when he arrived in the Republic of China, there was still a famous person surnamed Gu who had learned from the past and the present, and when the whole people were letting go, he never forgot to preach the benefits of the three-inch golden lotus.

In fact, he completely ignored the injuries suffered by women in foot binding, if he could let him wrap his feet himself, in the case that his feet might rot, after wrapping his feet into small feet, and then fleeing for his life in the flames of war for more than ten years, and still not changing his mind about the three-inch golden lotus, Wang Qing would have obeyed.

Mrs. Chai was already inspired by Wang Qing, and after a three-inch golden lotus, she shuddered violently. "If it's wrapped in a three-inch golden lotus, then it should have started at a very young age, right? It has to go on for many years, so how much sin does it have to be done, and it doesn't take a woman to be a human being, right? ”

Wang Qing revealed the truth a little more, "Not only wrapping, but also twisting the toes except the thumb to the center of the foot, it's just a sin." "In fact, if the little feet of the three-inch golden lotus are peeled off the footcloth, they are deformed, and people can't look at them directly, so they are simply not human feet. It takes a long time to wash your feet once, and you can't walk unless you wrap them well.

But I have to admit that this deformity has won the favor of many literati and writers, and the so-called golden lotus has been classified, which has affected the ruling class, so small feet have become a necessary condition for beautiful women. Wang Qing didn't understand the morbid habits of those literati, just like the plum blossoms of later generations, the flourishing plum blossoms that were good and flourishing did not like them, but liked the sick and deformed plum blossoms, which were beautiful.

Wang Qing secretly thought: It seems that there are many men who regard morbidity as beauty. Thinking about the founding queen of the Ming Dynasty, Queen Ma, was ridiculed as the queen of bigfoot. I don't think about how a woman can survive in the war-torn era if she has her little feet. I think that when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, if the previous emperor ordered that Manchu women should not bind their feet, I was afraid that Manchu women would also follow the back path of Han women.

"Why is this happening?" Mrs. Chai couldn't figure it out, how could anyone support this kind of deformity that damaged the limbs, "It is said that this situation is a damage to the body, and no one should like it!" "After the Qin and Han dynasties, Confucianism was a lone show, and this kind of behavior of imprisoning the limbs should not be implemented.

"The king of Chu loves a thin waist, and the palace maids starve to death!" Wang Qing threw out a sentence, in order to please the superiors, he was not afraid of death, he was just wrapping his little feet, which was very common, at least his life was still alive.

"Crazy, just crazy." Mrs. Chai imagined that scene for a moment, and had to admit that Wang Qing was right. Once wrapping small feet becomes the general trend, you have a clear mind, and in the end you can only go with the flow. "Is that so small, can it look good?" Mrs. Chai asked.

"It's not pretty, it's a deformity, so when they sleep, they have to wrap up, and those who have money have to wear sleeping shoes. And those who don't have money can only be Tianzu. Only the daughters of the eunuchs' families must be wrapped, otherwise they will not be able to get married, and they will not even be able to make friends. Wang Qing said slowly, the reason why she said this was because she was afraid that history would repeat itself.

"It's terrible, it's terrible." Mrs. Chai also came from her girlhood, so she naturally knows one thing, once there is an outlier among the girls, then they will be collectively blocked. The aliens either fell silent or chose to assimilate with them. Mrs. Chai has been cultivating for many years, and she has obviously done the right thing, but she has become the sinner pointed out by Qianfu.

Wang Qing smiled, "So after I made my move, those men who love curiosity have been a lot more honest, otherwise, I'm afraid that Tao Yao will already be famous all over the world." Sister Rong, you must pay attention to those who consider themselves Confucian disciples. (To be continued.) )
