Live broadcast: Ancient people accompany me to make up lessons

"Anchor, won't your future female dolls need to have their feet bound?"

In this dynasty, which had no idea what foot binding was, everyone was confused, what was it for?

Compared with the sisters in the old family, You Jing's family in the county is pretty good, but she will start to bind her feet when she gets older.

Originally she could still go out to play at the homes of some of her close neighbor sisters, but after her feet were bound, she rarely even left the house.

She likes the canopy, which allows her to open a small window even when she is sitting at home, and see words and pictures she has never seen before, and she can also follow the anchor to see the city scenery in future generations.

She noticed that there were so many people on the road and in the hospital, both men and women, wearing all kinds of shoes, with open toes. No matter how old the girls were, their shoes were not too small.

Many adult women wear various open-toed sandals, and some even have their feet painted in conspicuous colors, but their feet are not small, and it doesn't matter if they are exposed in front of so many people.

Sitting on the bed, You Jing lowered her head and looked at her dangling feet, her eyes were a little dry. She doesn't like foot binding, and she doesn't like those small shoes because they really hurt.

But no matter how much she cried out for pain, her parents who used to love her turned a blind eye.

["Well, no more foot binding."

Xiaoxiao lowered his head and looked at his feet. He couldn't imagine how his feet suddenly shrunk by half. It was terrifying just thinking about it.

"Maybe in your place, foot binding is an ancestral instruction and a custom since ancient times, but before the Song Dynasty, there was no such custom at all.

The act of foot binding is the oppression of weak women by the powerful. It uses barbaric means to forcibly imprison and destroy the human body. It is as ugly a custom as burial. "

Knowing that there are still many people in the dynasty who have no idea what this is, Xiaoxiao found a five-minute video that briefly introduced this for them to watch. 】

[Foot binding began in the late Northern Song Dynasty, rose in the Southern Song Dynasty, continued to develop in the direction of slender feet in the Yuan Dynasty, and reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

As a result, foot-binding spread to women from all walks of life, regardless of whether they were rich or poor.

Although not everyone bound their feet, women who did not were looked down upon.

A woman with bound feet, even if she looks mediocre, will be praised as long as she has those small feet; on the contrary, even if she has red lips and white teeth, as long as the lotus boat under her skirt is full of feet, she will be a disgrace and become a "half-beauty" "The name was laughed at.

The so-called small feet, in the words of literati and poets, are the three-inch golden lotus.

Let's take off our shoes and socks and see intuitively what the three-inch golden lotus is——]

Everyone after reading: Thank you host, I was scared and felt like vomiting.

Even those who are emperors and nobles, seeing the deformed feet and pairs of small shoes in those black and white images, feel that it is no wonder that the anchors and others have no good words to say about the feudal dynasty.

First, there was sacrifice for burial, and then there was foot binding. These two things, going back more than a thousand years, were not something that the unified dynasty did, but they were popular in the last two dynasties closest to the anchor. How could they not give them to the feudal dynasties in front of them? Discredit?

Some scholars also began to think about it, why didn't it happen before? Was it the last two dynasties that came into existence, and then the world turned upside down? What's the connection?

Every normal-growing woman who went forward looked at those deformed and ugly little feet on the sky screen, and quickly lowered her head to look at her normal feet. Her body trembled, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

How could anyone think that their perfectly normal feet are ugly, yet they want to make them so, so... deformed?

What's so good about this?

Previously, when the anchor talked about the feudal society and the oppression of women at the Chastity Arch, they seemed to have a vague understanding of it, but looking at those deformed feet in the sky, they had a clear understanding.

There is mentioned above a rural woman with trembling legs. She cannot even walk on her feet. She can only sit every day. She has to go out to deliver meals to the men at home, and she even has to crawl on the ground with her children on her back...

They didn't want to describe it like this, but what kind of person was this, worse than a pig or a dog?

We are all raised by our parents, so why should their daughters be mutilated for no reason even if they were raised well?

The above-mentioned sexual pleasures, foot appreciation parties, and drinking from women with small feet... all of them are even more perverted, and they are all contempt and contempt for treating women as playthings.

Not only women feel the same way when they look at their own feet, but men with normal aesthetics and no quirks also don’t understand what these people do.

The body, hair and skin are all affected by the parents. To let the girls in the family suffer such a crime for no reason is to ignore the most basic words of saints, etiquette, justice and integrity.

Is this the result of the transformation of serious Confucianism? It looks like a barbarian!

Already having a premonition that the innocent self and the school would be scolded again, the different Confucian schools in the Qin and Han Dynasties had already classified those schools that were holding back later generations as heretics. Everyone began to work hard to write books and prepare to prove their innocence.

Several dynasties had foot binding, but due to various reasons such as national customs and economic level, the eyes of ethnic minorities and lower-class people who did not have bound feet were wide-eyed.

I didn’t expect that those ladies from noble families would have their feet bound with such ugly things.

How beautiful is this?

A man looked at his wife's rough feet and felt happy, "Sanniang, your feet look pretty like this."

Liu Sanniang spat at him, "If anyone wants to bind my feet, I will chop off their feet with a knife! It's a shameful thing!"

Rarely, farm girls are grateful that their families are poor and need them to work.

Even working is better than torturing their feet like that.

[Foot binding is a third-level injury. Let’s look at the definition of third-level injury.

Unable to live completely independently and need constant supervision; various activities are restricted and limited to indoor activities; occupational limitations are obvious; social interaction is difficult...

Foot binding is not just about abnormal development of the feet and physical disability. There are many acupuncture points on the feet, which are connected to the meridians of the whole body. Female fertility is related to the position of the pelvis. Therefore, abnormal development of the feet also affects women in many aspects.

Movement is limited, women cannot move much, and their bodies are naturally weak. Men appreciate the graceful appearance of supporting the wind and weak willows. How can they provide adequate nutrition to their children when they are pregnant?

Pregnant women with weak bodies are more likely to have dystocia, and children born to frail mothers are also more likely to die early. When they are lucky enough to grow up, they will repeat the life of their elders, and the children will become weaker from generation to generation, forming a vicious cycle...]

In addition to showing and explaining the dangers of foot binding, the video also introduces its history at the front.

Because it was so scary and curious, everyone was disgusted but listened attentively.

As soon as they saw that it began in the Song Dynasty, the things that had shocked the Song Dynasty before came to everyone's mind again: Why is it you again?

Zhao Kuangyin, who has normal aesthetics, was so angry that he smashed a tea cup with his palm. Why is he a descendant of Zhao Guangyi?

Winning the country unfairly, being forced to be conservative, the shame of Jingkang, the loss of the Central Plains, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism...

Cheng Yi, whose theory had not yet been established, covered his heart and made up his mind not to write books or accept students from now on.

He was so helpless and discouraged that any book he wrote would be distorted and interpreted by future generations, making him "famous" in later generations.

Coming from a famous family, I am not that perverted, and I don't want to be blamed for something that is not my fault and be infamy for eternity.

Everyone understands. Generally speaking, the ruling class of the Song Dynasty was useless and directed all its anger at women.

While I feel contempt, I also don’t understand the future generations even more.

I won’t talk about the Song Dynasty, but in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they were a Han regime that drove away the Mongols and a foreign regime. Why did they also engage in foot binding?

It turns out that the Qing Dynasty instituted a policy of shaving one's hair and changing clothes. The Han people ordered men to surrender and women refused to surrender, so they bound their feet twice as much.

Isn't this the same as those people in the Song Dynasty?

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been reading Xinxue today and had been guessing the cause of Ming's death, was hit hard again.

He restored Han clothes, but the next Manchu Qing Dynasty shaved their hair and changed their clothes. Han men shaved their heads, but then turned around and bound the feet of women...

Just listening to it, they are all inferior, arrogant and stupid, and very narrow-minded.

He could imagine that tomorrow, the orthodox Han people from the previous dynasties might jump out again and expel his Ming Dynasty from Han citizenship, not to mention the Han people from the Qing Dynasty.

Because the orthodox Han people really don't have these things. Looking back on history, no one in the Wei and Jin Dynasties who traveled south in clothes did this, let alone the Tang Dynasty. Only the Song Dynasty who was in Jingkang shame did this.

The Confucian scholars of Xunzi School in Qin and Han Dynasties looked at each other silently, feeling that this really proved their master's view that human nature is inherently evil.

If you were inherently kind, how could you do such a thing?

Ah, I feel like my thoughts are flowing today. Write articles, and then write articles when the anchor goes off the air.

[“Foot binding is just like pigtails. More than a hundred years ago, this country was lagging behind the world, a symbol of ignorance and barbarism.

Cutting braids and freeing women's feet were things that everyone participated in in order to save the nation in the late Qing Dynasty. "

Finally, he added this sentence and called out to the last lucky audience member today. 】

Perhaps because the adults in her family were officials of the Qing court, Rong Qingfang was one of the few Han women who did not have their feet bound.

She had never thought there was anything wrong just looking at other people's feet before. Little did she know that their feet were so riddled with holes under the shoes they hid.

She couldn't bear it and asked: "Anchor, if you let your feet go after binding, will they still grow well?"

["If it is just wrapped in a bandage and the foot is not broken off and deformed, it can still grow if you let it go at a young age.

If the foot binding is broken, professional corrective surgery and rehabilitation training are required. If the foot binding lasts for a long time, it will be difficult to walk like a normal person. "

Xiaoxiao tried to search for some related surgical information, but all that came out were text and picture explanations. They only said that those bones should be restored to normal bones of the foot. She could not find the specific operation method.

"I will try my best to find this part of the information, so today's live broadcast will end here. See you tomorrow."]

Today's curtain is over, but what everyone has to do in each dynasty is far from over.

As for You Jing, who asked this question, she had only had her feet bound for two years, so she was not yet 7 years old.

She looked at the appearance of those feet in the sky. The little girl who was not older than the anchor was very scared and could not imagine that her feet would be so ugly in the future.

Fear filled her heart, causing her to take off her shoes like crazy and try to untie the cloth on her feet.

Her movements attracted her parents, who had never seen her like this before. They were also stunned and wanted to stop her.

She cried, her mother didn't have her feet bound, and none of the sisters who had to work in the countryside had their feet bound, so why should she?

She didn't want her feet to become so ugly and become one of those cripples who could only sit on beds and chairs all their lives and never leave the house!

It was because she didn't have her feet bound and now that her family was rich that she wanted to bind her daughter's feet properly, You Mu explained.

You Jing didn't listen to You Mu's explanation.

No one in the clan bothers me, not even my mother. Why does she want to bother me when the family is doing well?

You Fu frowned and looked at it without saying a word.

When his wife asked someone to bind his daughter's feet, he didn't stop her. Now that he's seen the sky and knows what the history of foot-binding is, he doesn't let it go either.

His daughter kept crying, so he watched for a while and then went out. After all, this was a matter between his wife and daughter.

After looking at her father's back and guessing that his attitude was that he didn't care about anything, You Jing cried but felt relieved.

She directly picked up the scissors she had learned to make from the small bamboo basket and cut them into pieces. Then she put the scissors into her mother's hand to see if she wanted a child or a corpse with her feet bound.

There was constant commotion on the You family side, and Rong Qingfang over there also made up her mind to tell her parents that she wanted to study medicine.

She was really frightened when she saw those little bound feet, and she couldn't imagine what kind of life a woman with bound feet lived all day long.

But she wanted to study medicine and make some changes. At least, if a woman wanted to put her foot down, she could do something.

Doctors in various time and space still have a lot to do. They can't get X-rays, but they must find a way to make a stethoscope.

Although there was no foot binding in my own dynasty, there were some studious and well-intentioned doctors who drew diagrams of the foot bones and imagined how they would perform corrective surgery on such feet if it were them, and how they would train for recovery later. .

People in the Qin and Han Dynasties did their own things step by step, which was nothing more than an increase in overt and covert fights between schools of thought.

The Gongshu family, which was not a school but was in competition with the Mo family, also arrived in Xianyang. The flying little basket really made the king's eyes shine.

After learning that the public loser's next goal was to make it bigger so that it could take people to heaven, Ying Zheng also generously approved the venue and manpower.

It's because they came late, so they don't have official positions. They will wait until they make achievements.

Gongshu's family, who didn't think anything was going on at first, went to the venue to make arrangements. When they learned that the head of the Mo family in Xiangli had been sealed as a winter official, he suddenly became sour.

Compared with the favor they receive, they are more jealous of their rival's success.

The elders of the family regretted that they did not listen to Gong Shuzhi. If he had come earlier, it was hard to say who would be the winter official.

Gongshu Zhi comforted the elders, at least it is not too late for us to come now. The Mo family has come, but nothing has been done.

Besides, they are a declining school with only a few talents, but their own family has many more people than them. If we all work together to do research, I don’t believe we can’t win against them.

Especially for himself and the Mo family, the big thing about success has not yet been researched. In less than half a day, the Yin Yang family relied on a small telescope, and success also took root in the court.

Sour, too sour.

Other schools of thought are still on their way to Xianyang, and in the future time and space, there are also undercurrents surging among the various schools of thought in the Han and Wu dynasties.

Other schools of thought are not as prominent as those in the pre-Qin period, but not all of them are gone. After all, the Han Dynasty was different from the Qin Dynasty. In the center of the Han Dynasty, there were people from Huang Lao, Legalism, and Confucianism.

In the past few days, everyone from other schools of thought has been contacting their old friends, preparing to come up with something before entering Chang'an.

In Chang'an City, Huang Lao, who doesn't really want to see the current emperor 'depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism', is also in contact with the Legalists, and they definitely want to bring Confucianism down.

The emperor wants to use it, right? Then please take a look at the several dynasties that reused Confucianism in later generations. Each one is either embarrassing or will be in disgrace for thousands of years. All kinds of perverted behaviors are outrageous.

In order to prevent this situation from happening, Dong Zhongshu, the current leader of the Gongyang School, is also working hard to hold meetings with students. The first thing to do is to revise the school's books to prevent future generations from taking advantage of the loopholes to interpret them.

And if they want to do this, other Confucian schools naturally want to do the same. Even if everyone criticizes the Neo-Confucianism of later generations, their current interpretations of the classics have not reached unity.

In Luoyang City, Deng Sui, who originally followed the plan and worked step by step, also had his eyes opened.

Originally, she was a little tired of these people who had no interest in talking about hobbies and being celebrities but not officials. When she heard about the various chaos in later dynasties, she became wary.

At present, both the government and the public are Confucian students, and there are also Taoists, but after all, they are not many.

She didn't want the big man to become like that in the future. She also needed to start thinking of ways to manage these things.

During the Three Kingdoms period, although the three parties were in conflict, they had all been Han Chinese for hundreds of years. Indeed, as Zhu Yuanzhang thought, they believed that future generations could not be regarded as orthodox Han people.

Those of them who are fighting for orthodoxy can say that they don't have that much free time to engage in perverted things.
