Chapter 45 Three-inch Golden Lotus
(Friendly reminder, don’t look at this if you are eating ヽ(??▽?)ノ)
[In addition, physiological problems are also unavoidable. The difficulties encountered by female Red Army soldiers are more than we imagined.
There were nearly 3000 women who participated in the Long March. When the female comrades had their menstruation, they would wrap some dry leaves in rags and use them as pads. They still climbed mountains and crossed rivers. Even the river water was dyed red.
Many female comrades developed gynecological diseases as a result. The conditions of the Long March were difficult, and many female comrades were unable to menstruate. Menstrual blood flowed out of their nostrils. As time went on, they generally experienced amenorrhea and their body functions became seriously disordered.
The shadow of suffering and death loomed over their heads every day, but they still followed the main force and completed the Long March brilliantly.
This period of history is rarely found in official historical records, but we cannot forget that there was once a group of women who took up arms for the liberation of the people. 】
"A great man once said: Women hold up half the sky!"
"Salute to all the soldiers of the Long March!"
"Salute to the heroes!"
"Although they are women, they are as brave as men when it comes to the survival of the nation!"
"Although their feet are bound, their iron will cannot be bound."
"I may not be a man physically, but I am a manly man in spirit!"
"I am afraid that if I write too harshly, I will disturb the heroic spirits of the martyrs. I am also afraid that if I write too lightly, I will not be able to describe their earth-shaking past."
"Every time I see this history, I cry"
……
The dynasties had never expected that women could leave such a significant mark in history, but they could not refute it. In the face of national crisis, they proved with their actions that women could also save the country and relieve the crisis!
Some women who were deeply influenced by the old custom of foot binding were shocked when they looked at the sky curtain. Even in such a difficult environment, "they" were strong in spirit!
The Long March, climbing snow-capped mountains, and crossing grasslands sound easy, but the pain they endured was a hundred times more than that of others, right? They had bound feet since childhood and never left their homes, and they couldn't even walk a few steps, so how could they complete such a difficult task?
I looked at my deformed feet and couldn’t bear to look at them when I untied the bandages every night. I almost forgot the pair of white, tender and healthy feet I had when I was young...
People in earlier dynasties didn’t quite understand the meaning of three-inch golden lotus, but the shoes in the picture always felt like something bad.
Some emperors already knew what the sky curtain would say, thinking that women's difficulties were not just these conservative customs, but also the sadness of this era. Especially when seeing the later generations, they felt that some things should be stopped.
[Foot binding is actually advocated in today's society. Is it a distortion of human nature or a decline of morality? ! ]
Along with the title, a screenshot appeared, filled with uncomfortable words.
As one person said, she not only bound her feet alone, but also dragged her daughter to do the same, saying that this is the beauty of a woman.
Her ideal feet are three-inch golden lotus.
Hmm?
As the comments became more and more popular, more people commented, and more people were willing to guide the mother in a healthy way.
Some people even said bluntly that people used to bind feet, and now they also bind their heads.
And the mother's words subverted people's three views:
She started foot binding when she was three years old, and her feet have been bound for seven years. Now her feet have been bound into the shape of four-and-a-half-inch golden lotus.
She even kept a record of her behavior and insisted on binding her feet.
The deformed pair of feet at the end of the video shocked people from all dynasties.
Those who couldn't stand it vomited directly and retched beside them.
Qin Shi Huang also understood the significance of the three-inch golden lotus. It was normal for children to have small feet, but if an adult's feet were only three inches, they would think it was evil!
Everyone under the sky felt disgusted and horrified, and their faces turned pale.
Why do you do this to your healthy feet?!
Look at the way the other four fingers are all bent and twisted, with only one finger supporting the leg. It is hard to imagine how the leg can walk like this.
But when I think of the female warriors in the black and white photos, I feel even more admiration for them. They could still embark on such a difficult road with their toes twisted like this.
Many people think that this is really not a form of torture?
Having bound feet step by step since childhood, it would probably be difficult for you to walk like this when you grow up, right?
The conspiracy theorists wondered: Is this a new way to restrain the people? If those in power really wanted to abolish this old custom, how could it be passed down to later generations?
No one is born a mean person, who would torture themselves like this for no reason. Of course, except for those who volunteer, like the mother in the comment.
"It's the 21st century, and there are still people who pass on and beautify bad habits!"
"Some people say this is to avoid having to work. Haha, my great-grandmother also had her feet bound, but she didn't have to do any work at that time."
"It's really unfortunate that there is such a cruel custom!"
"Speaking of which, I don't have a good impression of any of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties. Foot binding, chastity arches, keeping chastity, and being buried alive are simply the sorrow of women!"
"The best thing Zhu Qizhen did was to abolish the system of burying people alive with their dead, but he still let his concubines be buried alive with him."
"Speaking of this, I really don't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to restore the system of burying people alive with the dead. My brother Zheng used pottery figurines instead of human sacrifice."
"You don't understand this, right? Once he becomes the emperor, the whole world belongs to his Zhu family. What does it mean to be buried alive with the dead?"
As more people commented, the emperors of later dynasties all looked a little unhappy.
Ming Dynasty
Empress Ma pulled Zhu Yuanzhang's ear and said firmly: "I don't care about anything else, but you must stop torturing women!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement. After all, it was his doing and he could not refute it.
Zhu Biao also sighed beside him. His father, what he did, was exposed by Tianmu, which would have no good impact. However, it should be abolished. Any matter brought out at random was a great suppression and control of women.
It is a fact that the several dynasties mentioned are somewhat irrefutable.
However, there were some old scholars who held onto their theories about the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, arguing on the skylight that women should stay indoors and not go out, and how could they show their faces in public and parade around like people in later generations!
I think they just let them stay in the mansion, which is what they should do. Besides, women should keep their duties and only be loyal to their husbands.
System 438 looked at these comments and felt like spitting fire even though it was made of high-tech materials. Okay, let's do this!
Simply list the comments of these people and clearly indicate their real names, dynasty, etc.
He even directly criticized: "Why do good people become beasts? Who forced them to do this? The court did nothing, only knew how to kneel, cede land, beg for peace, and pay tribute. This person has no dignity at all, right?"
It is particularly pointed out that the Song Dynasty was also a big coward and a big giver.
They are all bullies in their own homes, treating their enemies as their fathers-in-law, and only know how to suppress and persecute military commanders, send them annual tributes, and send them women. Why don't you send yourself there?
Then they say that the woman is unchaste and suppress her in various ways. It’s true, they have already done it, so why bother to save face? They are both hypocritical!
The system found that it felt much better after saying this.
Many people looked at that comment section and thought it was a public execution. In the past, some people took advantage of not revealing their names to criticize at will, but now, forget it, before speaking, just think about whether you can say it or not.
Many scholars and officials in the Southern Song Dynasty looked at Tianmu and wanted to say, Tianmu, you have no martial ethics!
Seeing the people around him looking at him with tinted glasses and rushing to retreat, he felt choking and fainted.
