yes, what will outsiders say about us?
All the people were shocked by Lin Haifeng's description of the "history of foot binding". How is it that a kingdom with a long history of civilization of thousands of years can regard the patent of a prostitute as an unchangeable sacred idol to worship and worship, and the filth and ugliness as holiness and innocence, and would rather give up their lives and forget their deaths for it?
Su Sanniang, Hong Xuanjiao and other female officials were red and half-bowed their heads. They were shy, because although they were the creators who entered the Celestial Empire on behalf of the women of the Celestial Empire, and led the sisters to take the first step towards women's emancipation, at this time, they did not have any sense of pride. While being shy of their obsessive sisters, as far as their own hearts are concerned, they also have a more or less other side of life, which is something that thousands of years of feudal consciousness has pressed on their hearts, is it a remnant? It seems to be a little bit less.
As for all the male officials, including Yang Xiuqing, their faces were also red, redder, and their heads were lowered deeper and deeper.
Shame on you! Ashamed! Their hearts are weeping......
Men all over the world must be a psychologist, and no man will hope or like that the women in their family can have any entanglement with the women of the Red Mansion, even the slightest. Of course, he must be a mentally sound man, and psychopaths are not among them.
And Chinese men are perhaps even more prominent, and what stands out is that they need a so-called "face" more than anyone else, and those poor sours among them can do anything despicable and shameless, but they will always find a proper reason for themselves. The poor people even called them "looking for bosom friends" when they went in and out of the Red Mansion prostitution hall and circled between the sounds and colors, because the women in the Red Mansion were literate, they were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they had a "common language" with them.
How good it is, but when you tell them to let go of their own girls and send them to the school, when they ask their own girls to embark on the road of self-reliance, and when they ask their own girls to have real talents, they start to feel sad again, and they feel uneasy in their hearts, and all they think about is whether it will ......
Could it be anything? I'm afraid that in their imagination, every boy in the school and outside, no matter how old he is, must always meet them, like to find the kind of "bosom friend" or "common language" that they never tire of.
Do they really not like this, do they really not want the women in their family to raise their eyebrows in front of outsiders? I'm afraid that's not the case yet. For those men of great fame also want to train their daughters to be otherworldly talents, for what? I want my daughters to have a status in their in-laws' family, so that they won't be treated like dung by their in-laws, because that will lose their own face. It's a pity that when they treat others, they don't want to think about it.
I want to save face, but I don't want to give face to others. That's what men are.
However, at least the men sitting in the Diligent Administration Hall will not have that kind of mentality, although they all like to save face all the same, or do some dirty things underneath, but now they need to face from the heart.
"Just now, Commissioner Lin said that many rogue literati in history praised women for binding their feet, and as far as I know, Su Shi and Su Dongpo also wrote similar things. I still didn't know much about the problem of foot binding before, and I ...... it," Lu Xianba raised his head and sighed, "I really don't know what to say for a while." Now it seems that what we are facing is not just a simple question of whether to let go of our feet, but a major issue that really concerns the honor of the entire Celestial Empire and the entire nation. ”
"Well said!" Shi Dakai's expression was solemn, "This is not a question of whether to let go or not, in addition to the honor of the nation and the country, it is also related to whether the policy of respecting women's rights and the equality of women and men, which has been repeatedly put forward at the beginning of the founding of our Celestial Empire, can really be implemented." Looking at the history of the nation, since the talented woman Li Qingzhao in the Song Dynasty, we have no real outstanding women, which is the sorrow of our nation. ”
"Li Qingzhao is a rare woman," Zeng Guofan sighed, "she is not only proficient in gold and stone, history, she and her husband Zhao Mingcheng co-authored the book "Jin Shi Lu", which records what she has seen from the three dynasties of antiquity to the five dynasties of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the inscriptions and epitaphs and other stone inscriptions of Zhong Ding Yi vessels, which is one of the earliest gold and stone catalogs and research monographs of our nation. I can't help but admit that she is a top poet. Shame, shame, shame, after Jing Kang's shame, ashamed of her husband Zhao Mingcheng's reality that she fled in the face of the invasion of the Jin soldiers, she sighed that 'life is a masterpiece, and death is also a ghost. So far, thinking of Xiang Yu, he refuses to cross the Jiangdong's eternal swan song, which makes us men feel ashamed. ”
"In the past, the lyricists and poets we admired, although they also wrote countless poems of divorce and resentment, but most of them spoke on behalf of the heroine, and no matter how true they were, they were also false. Therefore, this qiē poem, in front of Li Qingzhao, is like dung, and it is not worthy of any evaluation. Tianjing Mayor Hu Yuanwei shook his head, "Back then, Li Qingzhao wanted to pass on her talents to future generations, but even she didn't expect that the ten-year-old girl she chose could say 'talent is not a woman's business' with one mouth." Alas, it's a pity that she was born in the wrong place at a time when she shouldn't have been. If in our current Celestial Empire......"
He lowered his head and gently rubbed the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, "If you want to change, you must change, the tragedy of history must not continue." Putting your feet and going to school are two interrelated issues. If we don't change, how can we face the world, and how can we paint the color of the Fu envoys who are representing the Celestial Empire government overseas! ”
"Talent is not a woman's business, and even patriotic poets like Lu You are also praised. This is the same bad habit of the people, and this qiē is caused by the sense of patriarchal power. Alas, the yellow flowers are piled up all over the ground, haggard and damaged, and now who can pick them. Guarding the window, how can you be born alone in the dark. The sycamore is more drizzle, and at dusk, bit by bit. This time, what a sad word! ”
Zheng Nan looked at the officials attending the meeting, "Although Li Qingzhao doesn't want to see the mountains and rivers broken, and is even more unwilling to 'float away with the wanderers' and 'want to send blood and tears to the mountains and rivers', but as a woman of that era, she can neither gallop on the battlefield like Yue Fei, nor can she go to the court like Xin Qiji, and even have the opportunity to scold the wine and slap the railing like Lu and Xin. However, she has not forgotten the sorrow of being alone and worrying about the future of the country and the nation. She is a model and model for the liberation of women in our Chinese nation, and she should also be an inspiration for us men. God has arranged women for this world, we don't need to say the big truth, purely from the perspective of the reproduction of children and grandchildren, in a nation, only the best men and the best women are combined, will there be the best offspring, will make the nation prosperous. The beasts in the mountains still know the truth of survival of the fittest, let alone us humans. All nations that do not pay attention to reality and do not adapt to reality will become dust under the feet of others, just like many extinct biological species in the world. Therefore, women's emancipation and self-love are the hope for the prosperity of our nation. ”
"If you want me to say, men are not a good thing, especially those sour literati, and even less a good thing. Without them, where would so many filthy and unspeakable bad things come out. Hong Xuanjiao waved her hand and blurted out the words. But immediately, she blushed and stuck out her tongue again, "I'm talking about men and literati like them, and the men and literati of our Celestial Empire are all good." ”
Yang Xiuqing didn't know so many historical allusions that others could tell casually, and he couldn't recite a few poems, but he liked to listen to them very much. Listening to Lin Haifeng's storytelling about the reproduction of history, he felt that he could get a lot out of it.
He looked at everyone and raised his hand, "What do you say, I'll talk about it later, now let's all listen to Brother Haifeng continue to talk about why the Manchus haven't been able to stop this damn bound foot." His face twitched visibly.
Lin Haifeng let out a long sigh. After waiting for a while, he saw that no one spoke again, and then continued, "Now, let's go back to the Manchu ban on foot binding that the Senator said. However, we all have to understand one thing first, the Manchu ban on foot binding was not out of good intentions, and of course, they did not know that foot binding was such a disgusting thing. They don't have much culture anywhere, and they won't study your history. They were just afraid that this bad habit would spread to their own circle of women, and they felt that it was the most terrible thing. ”
He looked at the pipe in his hand, "Before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, their young and strong men were going to fight and fight for power. Women, on the other hand, not only have to take care of the family, but also need to go out to work in place of the men. Think about it, no matter how beautiful your three-inch feet are, no matter how much you can seduce men, you can't bear the burden of life that they have to bear. You can take a look and think about it, did the women of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have their feet tied? No. ”
He shook his head, "At this point, they are smarter than our ancestors, so they have their so-called strength for a while, and so they have two hundred years of colonial rule over us, which is known as the birthplace of the world's first civilization." So, in this regard, at least they are an example to follow. Although they were not able to forbid the binding of their feet at the end, they did not learn, and they knew that it was good, unlike our nation. Alas, our nation...... We often need to have a long observation and twist when learning the good of others, and we can learn the bad and the mess faster than anyone else. I don't even want to. ”
