115 [Women's Emancipation]
With interest sustenance, Wanrong's life suddenly became fulfilling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info She occasionally went shopping with Lu Jingyan to watch movies during the day, and the rest of the time was spent practicing comics, and at night she went to Zhou Hexuan's house to ask for comic skills.
got along for several days in a row, Zhou Hexuan and Wanrong had a hot fight, and there was almost no substantial overstepping of the rules.
In the blink of an eye, the "38" international women came.
By this time, the Northern Expeditionary Army had occupied most of the south, not to mention the military, and politically began to implement a series of new policies of progressive significance, such as changing customs and customs.
March 8, Hankow.
More than 200,000 soldiers and civilians organized by the government held a meeting in Hankou to celebrate International Women's Day. The huge procession passed through the streets, attracting a burst of side eyes, and many big girls and little daughters-in-law came out to see the surprise.
On the side of the street, a little boy suddenly pointed to the procession and said, "Mom, look at those aunts, those aunts are so strange, why don't they wear clothes?" ”
"Don't look at it, little ones!" The woman hurriedly covered her son's eyes.
An old man was heartbroken and scolded again and again: "Bad morals, bad morals!" ”
But in the procession, there were dozens of naked women. That's really naked, naked!
Jin Yayu, a famous prostitute, walked at the forefront, not ashamed, but proud. She waved colorful flags and shouted slogans: "Long live the liberation of Chinese women!" ”
"Long live the liberation of Chinese women!" The naked woman in the back shouted.
There are also countless progressive young students, both men and women, who have followed in shouting for women's liberation. They may look down on prostitutes in normal times, but at this moment, the two sides have formed a united front, both campaigning for the liberation of Chinese women.
In the early years of the Republic of China, Chinese women were indeed in urgent need of emancipation. And the purpose of this parade is to target the women's chests.
From the Southern Song Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, a flat chest is beautiful. The beautiful breast milk is a small breast, which can be held with a full hand, and the literati call it clove milk.
Therefore, serious women need to bind their breasts, in order to protect their reputation, breast ulcers are not treated, although they are still honored.
In the early Republic of China, women were not allowed to expose their bodies, and even when they slept, they had to wear vests that were longer than their knees. At first, women tied their breasts with silk cloth, and then prostitutes began to use small vests, and women from good families followed suit.
The front of the short vest is decorated with a row of dense buttons, which tightly fastens the breasts, which is the most primitive pattern. Later, women who pursued openness also interpreted the style of tight-fitting vests, using light tulle fabric vests, covered with mesh, exposing their arms and skin, so they were attacked by conservatives.
Nine years ago, Jiang Qusheng, a member of the Shanghai Council, sent a letter to the Jiangsu Public Office: "Women are now wearing a kind of obscene clothes, which is really unorthodox and unseemly. The arms of the blouse are exposed by about a foot, the trousers are hung up to more than a foot, and in the summer, they wear a red gauze vest inside, and the outer cover is covered with a veil of eyes, and almost the muscles are exposed. ”
Seven years ago, the Shanghai government issued a proclamation banning the wearing of clothes that exposed legs and arms, and immediately arrested and punished if found.
Liu Haisu, a famous painter, was almost arrested and imprisoned by Sun Chuanfang last year for encouraging students to paint with nude models and publicly exhibiting human portraits at an art exhibition.
How can such a custom of discrimination and oppression against women not be overthrown?
The women's liberation movement intensified in the South, with progressives and conservatives spitting at each other. The propaganda group of the women's association was running around, and when they gave a speech at the Snake Mountain Horse Riding Ground, Gu Lingzhi shouted: "We must resolutely put our feet, we must resolutely cut our hair, and we must oppose chest binding!" Chest binding is the most inhumane! The chest is a poisonous snake! It haunts the body and soul of netizens women......"
Speaking of excitement, Gu Lingzhi took off his shirt, supported his unbound chest with both hands, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Look, this is real liberation!" Long live the liberation of all Chinese women! ”
In the middle of the year, Hu Shi returned from abroad and specially preached "grandmotherism" at the graduation ceremony of the Chinese and Western Girls' School, saying: "Without a healthy grandmother, you can't raise healthy children." ”
This vigorous women's liberation movement, also known as the "Tianyu Movement", lasted from March to July, and the southern government finally promulgated the "ban on women's breasts".
The south is making a lot of noise, and the north is also shouting.
In order to curry favor with Zhang Zuolin, many northern newspapers reported in detail what had happened and rebuked the revolutionary party for being shameless and unethical.
The Ta Kung Pao article took a middle ground and rationally analyzed the harm of breast binding to women from a medical and physiological point of view. But it is also said that it is okay to put your breasts open, but you can't show your breasts in public, and the movement in the south is too much. Playing naked in public is also immoral in the West.
It was a weekend, and Zhou Hexuan did not go to work at the newspaper.
When Wanrong came to him to ask for comic skills, she happened to see a newspaper on the table, and after glancing at it, her face turned red, and she said, "How can such a shameful thing be discussed in the newspaper?" ”
Zhou Hexuan smiled: "It's normal, calling for women's emancipation, this is a great thing for women." ”
"Mr. Zhou also supports the opening of the chest?" Wanrong asked.
"Of course I support it, chest binding and foot binding are all persecution of women, and they should be resolutely resisted," Zhou Hexuan suddenly glanced at Wanrong's chest and said curiously, "By the way, do you Manchu women also tie their chests?" ”
Wanrong's face blushed even more, and she said in a low voice, "I'm also bound." ”
Binding the chest and binding the feet are both Han customs, but the Manchu and Han cultures have a serious influence on each other. In 1928, the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty was stolen, and people found a woman wrapped in a three-inch golden lotus next to Qianlong's body.
This can be proved that although the Manchus prohibit foot binding, some Manchu women secretly wrap them, which is in pursuit of popular fashion. As a queen, most of her graceful breasts are also influenced by aesthetic habits.
Zhou Hexuan really wanted to know how big Wanrong would be after letting go of her chest.
"Mr. Zhou, why do you keep staring at people...... Look there. Wanrong stomped her feet in shame.
"Ahem."
Zhou Hexuan coughed twice in embarrassment and said, "Actually, you can open your chest, which is more conducive to your health." ”
Wanrong blushed and said, "If you let go, how ugly it will be to go out." ”
Wanrong said that it is ugly, not because the big breasts are ugly, but because the bulge on the chest is difficult to see.
Zhou Hexuan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and laughed: "I thought of a good way to make money!" ”
"What makes money?" Wanrong is a little out of tune.
What business does Zhou Hexuan want to do?
Women's underwear!
The movement of celestial milk became more and more noisy, and even the north was affected, and many progressive women quietly opened their breasts, but encountered an embarrassing thing - there was no substitute underwear to wear.
Zhou Hexuan can open a garment factory and create an underwear brand. No matter what the era, women and children have the best money, and it is a promising business.
