300-word composition on three-inch golden lotus footprints

A unique museum named Three-inch Golden Lotus Museum opened in Jianchuan Museum, Sichuan. Jianchuan Museum is located in Anren Valley, Dayi County, Sichuan Province. This used to be the seat of the big landlord Liu Manor. Jianchuan Museum has more than 20 exhibition halls. The themes of these 20 museums are: War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Red Age, Earthquake Relief and Folk Customs. Three-inch Golden Lotus Museum collects folk customs. Of course, this is not for inheritance, but to let everyone know how the three-inch golden lotus destroyed women in the feudal society of China.

Three inches of golden lotus is an exaggeration, but some women's feet are even smaller than three inches. There is a saying called three-inch golden lotus, four-inch silver lotus and five-inch iron lotus.

There are different opinions about the origin of three-inch golden lotus. Among them, it is more reasonable to say that Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is addicted to alcohol and lewd, and harem women compete for favor. One of them, a woman named Yan Niang, wrapped her feet and danced gracefully because she didn't have any advantages. Li Houzhu took his mother with him as soon as he saw the joy. It led women to follow suit. This is the origin of three-inch golden lotus, also known as step lotus.

According to historical research, foot binding became popular after the Northern Song Dynasty and reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, three-inch golden lotus has become a fashion. Now there is a joke: the county grandfather has a daughter who is not good at binding her feet. She is afraid that she will not get married, so she asks a scholar to write poems to praise her. The scholar hates the county grandfather and writes three and a half sentences: Baer Nv Jiao Niang, the golden lotus is three inches long. Why is it so short? Horizontal quantity. This story also illustrates the importance attached to the three-inch golden lotus.

However, the golden lotus of Sancun is far from as beautiful as it sounds. Instead, it is a history of women's blood and tears in China. There is a folk proverb: wrap your feet; A vat of tears. Girls began to wrap their feet when they were four or five years old. At first, they burned their feet. After ironing, they bent their four toes except their thumbs down until they fit the soles of their feet. Then they wrapped them layer by layer with strips of cloth, tied their feet into arches and stuffed them into shoes. Then they help the girl walk around to avoid foot necrosis.

The feudal custom of foot-binding is really cruel, so when did it end?

At first, in order to make the Han people submit to Manchu rule, the Qing army began to transform their appearance and forced men to shave their heads and leave braids. However, women could not resist the rule of the Qing Dynasty after foot binding, and they were acquiesced in foot binding in the Qing Dynasty. Later, a strange phenomenon appeared. Men shaved their heads and changed clothes, while women continued to wrap their feet. So there is an interesting saying in the early Qing dynasty: men fall, women don't fall. However, with the entry and discovery of advanced western ideas, foot-binding is not beneficial to social development. Therefore, during the Reform Movement of 1898, progressives proposed to abolish foot binding, and in the late Qing Dynasty, they told the world to abolish foot binding. When the Republic of China came, the government of the Republic of China even appealed to the world not to do so. Due to the limited centralization of the government at that time and years of war, the decree was not completely implemented. The era of not really binding feet was after the founding of the People's Republic of China. 1952 Shandong province took the lead in promulgating a general order prohibiting women's foot binding and completely abolishing it.

Then why am I a big country in China, and the history of Chinese civilization of more than 5,000 years is bound by a small foot strap?

We have to admit that this is a great historical fact. In ancient China, it was said that men dominated society. On the one hand, men should create wealth, on the other hand, they should protect wealth. At this time, women are equivalent to wealth as an accessory of men, and men can protect and support women through their own strength. But later, due to the development of society, the whole society was protected by law, so there was no man to protect women, and the law protected women. At the same time, due to the liberalization of social productive forces, women's ability to create wealth has improved, and men do not need to support them. Therefore, the authority of men to protect and support two kinds of men has been lost, and there is no reason to ask women to bind their feet and become men's accessories. Therefore, there is no need for the three-inch golden lotus to exist.

The abolition of foot-binding reflects the liberation of women and social progress in China, and also marks the transformation of China from tradition to modernity. So students, please remember the harm caused by foot binding, please cherish the good life now.
