Chapter 124: Never Allowed
Shuyun's face was gloomy, her tone was cold, and although her voice was not high, the people around her still clearly felt the anger coming to her face. No one expected Shuyun to be so angry. For a while, everyone was silent, and Qian Liu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Dongjia, you are angry!" Beware of getting angry! It's all to blame for the slave family for not making it clear. Niuniu's child is still doing well, and Ding Shuigen's family didn't succeed. Their family was clever and clever, and as soon as they found out about her mother's plan, they went to the capital to get his father back. Shuigen was angry, and cleaned up his mother-in-law, almost broke her, so scared that his mother-in-law didn't dare to mess around anymore, and Shuigen ordered her to cut off relations with Hanfang, and now that mother-in-law is honest. ”
"Get up, I know. You go and get all the stewards in the Zhuangzi and the children to the big hall of the school, I have something to say. Although Shuyun didn't seem so angry anymore, her tone was still very cold.
When Qian Liu heard that there was no need to find everyone, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, got up, glanced at Shuyun worriedly, and quickly ran to call everyone.
Shuyun glanced under the big tree not far away, and Hanfang had already slipped away. ~Hum! It's not slow! ~
Shuyun took a group of palace maids and grandmothers straight to the newly built auditorium, which is a stone blue, square-roofed building, three feet high, and there are nine steps in front of the door, extending a small bluestone square. The walls are filled with large floor-to-ceiling windows. It is surrounded by greenery, with small lawns and flower beds in between. Nowadays, children like to come here after school to find a cool shade, or to read. Or play.
As soon as Shuyun sat down on the podium, a group of stewards came in with Qian Liu. One by one, they couldn't help but peek at Shuyun, with a cautious face. Children are much more natural. All of them held their heads up and their chests high, and they were in good spirits. This is the rule of the school - not to be sluggish, to have the demeanor of a young student.
Regardless of adults and children, they all saluted Shuyun. Shuyun waved her hand and signaled that she would not be polite. But he didn't ask them to sit down gently, as usual.
Shuyun looked at the rows of people standing neatly in front of her, and didn't speak for a long time. The stewards all lowered their heads, no one dared to look at Shuyun, nor did they dare to speak first, and there was silence in the auditorium. Needle drops can be heard.
After a long time, Shuyun spoke, "Most of you are old people in Zhuangzi, and you started following me when you didn't have this Zhuangzi. You should know the rules of Zhuangzi very well. You all abide by the love of Zhuangzi, the love of the family, the respect for the old and the young, the attention to hygiene, and so on. Foot binding, although I don't explicitly prohibit it, but everyone should also know my attitude towards it. But there are still people who will offend for what. And you stewards have not stood up to stop anything, is it because there is no clear rule prohibiting foot binding? In my opinion, your work is not up to standard. ”
He looked at the stewards with ashamed faces, and then said, "You now have to study for a few days every month. I believe I can recognize a few words. There is a sentence in the "Book of Filial Piety" that you should have heard - "The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and filial piety is the beginning." Standing on the road, making a name for yourself in future generations, in order to show your parents, and the end of filial piety. The meaning is that the limbs, hair, and skin of a person's body are all given by their parents. Don't dare to damage or mutilate, this is the beginning of filial piety. People follow benevolence, righteousness, and morality in the world. He has made achievements and made a name for himself in future generations. So that the parents will be distinguished and glorious, which is the ultimate goal of filial piety.
And foot binding is to tie the feet tightly with cloth and silk, so that the foot bones are deformed, which is the damage and disability of the body, which is unfilial piety. If you can't even do the beginning of filial piety, what else can you talk about to make achievements and become famous? Now I will tell you clearly that foot binding is not allowed on my Zhuangzi. If you want to bind your child's feet, you can, but first you have to fuck me off immediately. Shuyun inspected the silent stewards one by one. Who has anything to say? ”
Everyone bowed their heads, and no one dared to say anything.
"Who has anything to say?" Shuyun asked again.
"No, host, we all listen to you. If anyone dares to raise any foot-binding moths, I, Qian Afu, will be the first to clean him up. We are croppers, how can we work when a whole pair of little feet come out? It's really full. "It's still Qian Afu, the big steward, who is clever, and he was the first to express his position.
Everyone also came back to their senses, and they echoed it. Today's good days are all Shuyun and Zhuangzi gave them to them, and no one wants to be kicked out of Lu and live back to the life of three poor meals before. Besides, most of the bankers never thought about foot binding, but a few short-sighted ladies thought about it, and before they could move, they were stopped by their own men.
"Okay, you just know the way. I'm doing this for your good. Ah Fu's words are right, they are all crop people, they make their feet like that, they can't stand steadily, how do they work, how do they take care of the elderly and children. To put it mildly, even those little feet, once they encounter war or danger, they can't run if they want to, and you should know this very well.
All right! You convey what I have just said to all the dealers. Qian Liu and the children stayed, and everyone else was busy. ”
After a few stewards left, Shuyun looked at the children standing straight below and said, "You are all my students, as your teacher, I am responsible for you, and the teacher's responsibility is to preach, teach, and solve doubts. Many of you may not know what foot binding is, and even if you do, you may not be able to understand it very thoroughly. Now I'm going to give you a good talk about foot binding.
Foot binding is an act that destroys the normal development of limbs. A woman who binds her feet has to bind her feet from an early age, slowly breaking the bones of her feet to make them deformed. A pair of small feet after foot binding not only has all kinds of inconveniences in practical life, but also has to endure great disability and pain in the whole process of foot binding. This kind of ineffectual and infinitely painful experience has been going on for hundreds of years. Speaking of this, Shuyun got up and drew a comparison of the foot binding and the normal soles of the feet on the blackboard. This is the shape of the soles and bones after foot binding, which is a manifestation of obvious disability from a medical point of view. ”
"Deyan, what do you want to ask?" Shuyun saw Ding Deyan raise his little hand below, so he asked.
"Teacher, since foot binding is not good, why do so many people want to bind their feet?"
"Your question is very good, it shows that you are thinking seriously, students, you should remember that no matter what you do, you should have a serious thinking attitude, which is a prerequisite for success.
Next, I will tell you about the reasons why the bad habit of foot binding is prevalent. Yi Shizhen's "Langhuan Ji" of the Yuan Dynasty said: "I heard that the sage set up a woman and made it not rash, it is to wrap his feet, so he lives in the boudoir, and if he wants to go out, he will have a carriage to carry it, and he will have nothing to do." Another example is said in the "Daughter's Sutra": "Why, wrapped up? Not because it is good-looking, like a bow; I'm afraid she walked out of the door lightly and was bound by a thousand entanglements. It is not difficult to see from these few words that it is to confine women in the boudoir so that they can be manipulated. This is one of them.
Second: It is said that the foot binding originated from the Southern Tang Dynasty queen Li Yu who sang "When is the spring flower and autumn moon", his concubines wrapped their feet into a crescent moon shape with cloth, and danced on the lotus flower made of gold. Some literati and doctors regard women as playthings, morbid aesthetics, and playing with small feet has become a habit. The idioms "taste the head and judge the feet", as well as "golden lotus", "three-inch golden lotus", "incense hook" and so on are from their mouths. Even the great writer Su Dongpo is not exempt from vulgarity, his "Bodhisattva Man" is full of words and words "delicate and difficult, must be seen from the palm", and even formulated seven standards for the beauty of small feet: thin, small, sharp, curved, fragrant, soft, positive, and summed up the "seven beauties" of small feet: shape, quality, capital, god, fat, soft, show, really broad and profound. Even more obscenity is the use of prostitute shoes to drink, that is, to take off a pair of small shoes from the feet of the woman accompanying the banquet and use them to serve wine. This kind of sick appreciation has undoubtedly contributed to the prevalence of the bad habit of foot binding.
Do unto others as you would have them do to you. It is uncivilized and immoral to inflict pain on weak women in order to satisfy their own desires. And medically speaking, there are many acupuncture points on the feet of the human body, which are connected to various organs of the body, and the lack of qi is a foregone conclusion due to the lack of exercise.
What is true beauty, in fact, nature is beauty, and healthy is beauty. Foot binding can have an indelible physical and psychological impact on women. It is also an act of disrespect for women.
Nowadays, most people don't know how to respect women, and only pay attention to three obedience and four virtues, thinking that women are men's private property. But as your teacher, I don't want my students to do the same. You must know that your mothers and sisters, and your future wives and daughters, are all women. In fact, there are only two kinds of people in this world, men and women. As strong men, you have to hold up a piece of the sky for the women of your family, protect them, and respect them. Because among these women, your mother has given you life and nurtured you, your sisters are with you and care for you, and your wife will give you children, run the family, and support your parents. They are all working for you, and you have to give something back. That's what I say to all the male classmates again.
And girls, I hope you can be self-reliant, self-confident, self-reliant, self-loving, knowledgeable, and idealistic. Be a new woman in a new era. Women can also have a piece of your own sky. It's up to you to try to find it. ”
As soon as Shuyun finished speaking, the door of the auditorium was pushed open
