Why Ancient Cultures Bound Feet 😮

[MelissaBrown-vw]

“I look so ugly”
“Here! *bends foot in half*
“OWW”
“Omg your pretty!”

[Cowared]

"Look at her she's ugly"
"No wait look at her feet"
"I take it back she's gorgeous"

[TheycallmeEeEuUuGhcat]

I’d rather be called ugly than get this cursed pedicure

Apparently, this is a symbol of beauty and wealth. Since she can't walk anymore, she needs to get carried everywhere, making her stand out from the common people who needed feet to walk around to farm. Since she had to be carried, it was a status symbol that they had servants to tend to her, and she wasn't just an ordinary woman who works in the rice fields

This is a symbol of pain instead of BEAUTY 😭🙏🏼

"Your so handsome."
"What do your feet look like?"

We study this in around 9th and 10th grade and this is Foot binding was a traditional practice that began in China during the 10th century and lasted for over a thousand years. It involved tightly wrapping the feet of young girls to stop them from growing, resulting in very small, arched feet known as "lotus feet." This painful process often caused lifelong disability, but it was seen as a symbol of beauty and grace in Chinese society. Small feet were believed to be attractive and were associated with high social status, as women with bound feet were often not expected to work. The practice also symbolized obedience, femininity, and a woman's readiness for marriage. Although it is now viewed as a harmful tradition, foot binding was once a powerful cultural symbol in Chinese history. Hope i could add something. 📖📚

Fortunately not all girls suffered this, only the nobles and some rich peasants.

In ancient China, almost every girl had to suffer this pain. Their feet were broken when they were young. Every step they took was painful, but they still had to do agricultural labor...

Pain is never the answer towards beauty
