Women's foot binding usually starts when they are four or five years old. The method is very cruel: first bend the four toes except the big toe on the sole of the foot, wrap them tightly with white cotton strips to fix the foot shape; then put them on Pointed shoes, walking under the control of family members. At night, the foot wrapping cloth is sewn tightly with needle and thread to prevent it from loosening. What a horrible aesthetic! How much harm does this cause to women?

After all, why are Chinese literati so obsessed with small feet? The reason may come from the subconscious mind where sexual fantasies and desires are intertwined. From "Lianxue works" such as "Caifei Lu" and "Feng Fei Chat", we can find some unique insights of experts: First, it is believed that the hollows on the soles of slender feet can be used to "illegal semen".

The second is that slender feet include the beauty of a woman’s whole body: “For example, the skin is white and greasy, the eyebrows are curved and beautiful, the jade fingers are pointed, and the breasts are round, The corners of the mouth are small, the lips are red, the private parts are secret, and the breath is better than the fragrance of the armpits and crotch."

Gu Hongming said: "The beauty of Chinese women's foot binding is just like that of foreign countries. Women's high heels have the same effect. After women's feet are bound, their feet are cold and their lower body is weak, so they stand tall and slim, and when they walk, they become slim. The blood in the body flows upward when it reaches the "three inches", so the buttocks feel plump and beautiful. ” < /p>

According to this, the ultimate purpose of women's foot binding is to make men's vaginas feel tighter and their buttocks feel more enlarged and sexy during sex. The views of Gu Hongming, a well-educated man, on small feet can be said to represent the views of the vast majority of Chinese scholars.

Although his argument is reasonable, this playful attitude makes people disagree. For men, women are dolls, and Nora in Ibsen's novel is his husband's doll. But if she compared with the women in China in the past, she would feel that she was living in paradise and there was no need to run away in anger.

Gu Hongming said: "The foot binding of the previous generation was not a tyranny. My wife's little feet are my stimulant." Kang Youwei gave Gu Hongming a "Contented and Happy" banner in exchange for the feeling of a close friend, and Gu Hongming This is how my wife meets this aesthetic standard: small feet, willow waist, thin eyebrows, gentle and virtuous.

Gu Hongming regarded her little feet as treasures. When she was bored, Gu would ask Shugu to take off her shoes, untie the bad-smelling foot-wrapped cloth layer by layer, lower her head and put it close to her nose. , like smelling the fragrance of flowers, I feel infinitely comfortable.

When composing, he always called Shugu to his side and asked her to put her little feet as thin as sheep's hooves on the stool he had prepared in advance. He held the pen in his right hand and left hand. He caressed his wife's feet, pinching them from time to time, like playing with Buddha's hands, enjoying himself. It is said that at this time, he suddenly felt like a fountain of thoughts and wrote a thousand words.

Less than a year after Gu Hongming married Shugu, a foot-bound lady, he encountered another romance. Japanese girl Sadako Yoshida found her parents who came to China to do business but failed and ended up working as a servant in a Wuchang brothel.

After meeting Sadako in a brothel, the unfortunate experience of the charming Japanese girl aroused Gu Hongming's desire to withdraw from her life, and he willingly redeemed her life with two hundred taels of silver. And because Sadako had left her hometown and had no one to rely on, she took Sadako home to settle down in order to find out about Sadako's parents.

Sadako’s search for her parents was unsuccessful, but in the Gu family, this well-behaved, quiet and gentle Japanese woman was deeply loved by Gu Hongming and his wife. The generous aunt arranged for Gu Hongming to accept Sadako as his concubine. One wife and one concubine formed a harmonious family.

Gu Hongming believed that Japanese women embody the traditional virtues of Chinese Tang and Song culture and are very compatible with Sadako. As a result, I can't sleep peacefully without Zhenzi's company.

Gu Hongming said proudly: "My wife Shugu is my stimulant; my beloved concubine Zadako is my sleeping pill. These two beauties, one can Urging me to write can make me fall asleep. "

Gu Hongming was very considerate to Shugu and Sadako, and an anecdote about Gu Hongming apologizing for his mistakes has become a good story. Once, Sadako was in a bad mood because she missed her parents, so she stayed alone in her room for several days. Gu Hongming was anxious and prepared Sadako's favorite snacks and face wash early in the morning, waiting outside Sadako's room.

Sadako got up, opened the door, and was surprised to see Gu Hongming standing respectfully outside the door: "Master, what are you doing so early?" Gu Hongming quickly handed over the face-selecting towel. , and said with a smile on his face: "Madam, the past few days were all my fault, please forgive me." Such a family relationship is naturally harmonious.
