I feel very happy since nowadays women of Han ethnic gruop in China don't have to bind their foot any more.

My grandmather's grandmother who was born in 1894 and she had little foot. My grandmother told me that her grandmother really felt pain and inconvinience to walk.

If she has toes. The footbinding process broke the foot (in several places) and often resulted in gangrene (almost always infections as well). It was desirable to lose toes although highly dangerous as all such infections are.

I doubt it makes a difference how she walks, as she has very little choice, and the painful process was already done. A bound foot like that is no longer normal, and I doubt walking "on the toes" is an issue any more than walking on a foot snapped in half.

i read a book that described the pain and the fight of will that women had to go through when they had to bind their feet when they were kids. i think it was called Snow flower and the secret fan. the book is soooo good that theyțre making a movie on it in 2011

@TheStar768able I think it's just a way to keep the women more obedient, since they have a hard time walking, it would make them less likely to walk out of a marriage, or any other circumstance.

During the time it would have been a cost to the family to bind the feet of their daughters, because they couldn't work or perform duties. So we have to wonder why do different cultures do these different, elaborate, and painful rituals? The answer is simple, if you were rich enough to have a daughter (or support a wife) whose sole job was to be attractive, you could bind her feet and show the world you were rich enough to care for her and she didn't have to labor like a commoner.

Foot Binding was outlawed in the 20th century, but it still goes on in some outlaw parts of China and Asia. I don't understand why though because how is a three-inch long foot attractive?

search up :bound feet

kinda late am i?

[lemurs366]

the worst part is that/ was that it was considered a very GOOD thing when the toes fell off, 'cause it made the foot even SMALLER

[LLesleee]

THIS STILL GOES ON!!!!!!!!

I hope not
