Chapter 31 Animation Analysis of Foot Binding
[Five: Be as clean-handed as Yan Shifan
"The two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty are on my shoulders!"
"Stop talking nonsense! For the sake of the emperor, we can endure any hardship, but I just don't understand. We are all doing court work, why is it that whoever does more work always suffers more injustice?"
"Stir it up, stir it up, stir it up! Stir it up so that Hu Zongxian can't get enough military supplies and suffer a defeat. Stir up chaos in the southeast and bring about the demise of the Ming Dynasty!"
＜If I didn’t know history, I would have really thought that the young cabinet minister was an “honest” official who was framed everywhere＞
＜Integrity, integrity, uprightness, clean hands, loyalty to the country, serving the country and the people - Yan Shifan＞
＜Is this what they call a traitor who appears loyal?＞
＜Yan Shifan and his son were very loyal to Jiajing＞
＜The Yan Party should at least pay back the money now. Look at the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty. The court couldn’t collect the money＞
＜The young cabinet minister is truly a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty［eating melon］＞
＜The treasury was out of money in the late Ming Dynasty＞
＜Since we are talking about civil officials, we have to mention the Tumubao War God Zhu Qizhen! ! ! He destroyed the Ming Dynasty's checks and balances in one battle＞
＜The most impressive thing about the Ming Dynasty in 1566 is the sentence “The people are extravagant and plunder the people. When the people are about to revolt, they plunder the merchants.”＞
＜Master Jiajing: You said that you can no longer move without the Ming Dynasty?＞
……
Emm, very good, I learned it, it's all about speaking in a sarcastic way, right? Although I haven't watched Ming Dynasty, I still often watch the commentary of this drama. You look like a really honest official, little cabinet minister.

Ming Dynasty Hongwu 26th year
"Haha, this is the second time that Tumu Fort has been mentioned." Prince of Jin Zhu Gang is afraid that the world will not be in chaos. As long as it is something bad for him, Zhu Di, this prince will intervene!
Zhu Di also remembered that when Tianmu said that he had exterminated Fang Xiaoru's ten clans, a comment mentioned that it was because "the group of bullies was buried in Tumu Fortress. 】
So bury really does mean bury in that sense.
"Pig riding on me?" Ning Wang Zhu Quan began to analyze: "Pig is the same as Zhu; riding? Fourth brother's line is higher than Zhan Qi, so it should be Qi; I? According to the five elements of naming, it may be Zhen?"
"Zhu Qizhen! This is only three generations old." Qin Wang Zhu Chong had been unhappy with Zhu Di for a long time, "He is just your great-grandson!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing, but walked up and kicked Zhu Di away.
Zhu Di: "..."
Seventeenth brother, if you can’t speak, you don’t have to say anything, Zhu Di smiled in the direction of Zhu Quan.
Zhu Quan paused, wondering if I had talked too much today...

Ming Dynasty, the 26th year of Jiajing
Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houcong originally believed that there really were immortals in the world and that the sky curtain was a work of immortals...but later he discovered that these were just people from the future.
It's a bit disappointing, but Emperor Jiajing should still practice Taoism and the Ming Dynasty should remain the same.
Although the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty was mentioned before, this happened four generations later, and the Ming Dynasty is not going to fall now anyway...
If the emperor doesn't take it seriously, it will be useless no matter what the court officials do.
However, this is the first time that Tianmu talked about a contemporary Ming official, and that was the young cabinet minister - "Yan Shifan".
As an official in the same dynasty, he knew what kind of character Yan Shifan had. "It's good to be incorruptible. Isn't our Lord Yan an incorruptible official?"
Yan Shifan's political enemies privately made fun of this incident.
Yan Shifan himself said: I don't need this title at all! I am a loyal and patriotic person, and my loyalty to the emperor is evident to all!
Emperor Jiajing: Just give me money and listen to me!

After watching What History Has Taught Us, Li Ranran couldn't help laughing. After laughing enough, she scrolled down to the next video.
When she saw the cover, Li Ranran felt pain and various physical discomforts.
The cover shows the "Three Inch Golden Lotus" version without shoes.
[Animation analysis of foot binding]
[Hello, this is Sangsang! As we all know, foot binding is one of the biggest bad habits in Chinese history!
It is said that foot binding originated in the Five Dynasties. In order to make his concubine Yao Niang dance beautifully, Emperor Li Yu bound her feet with cloth to make them small and slender, and then other people began to follow suit.
Okay, let's get back to the topic! We won't talk too much about the origin and development of foot binding. After all, everyone knows a little bit about it. But! Do you know how the ancients bound their feet?
In order to understand this, the uploader bought Feng Jicai's "Three-inch Golden Lotus" and some other related books. It really made me dizzy...
(The video shows women's shoes unearthed from the Song Dynasty, women's shoes from the Yuan Dynasty, and women's shoes from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.)
The more I look at it, the more perverted it seems.
(Animation explains how to bind feet)
There are roughly three stages of foot binding: binding to the tip, binding to the thinness, and binding to the curve.
1. First, gather your feet together, sprinkle alum powder on them, then wrap them with cloth and tighten them tightly. Repeat this for a month.
2 Bend the other four toes except the big toe downward and hold them together for about a month.
3 Tighten the four toes inwards again and sew the binding cloth tightly to make the foot look pointed. The binding should be tightened day by day until the swelling of all five toes goes down and the sole of the bound foot is formed, then loosen the cloth.
4 At this point, it is only in shape and has not yet reached the optimal state. Then wrap the toes inward to the soles of the feet, which will take half a year.
5 Bend the sole of the foot into an arch shape and wrap it until it can be folded into two parts.
(The appearance of foot binding during the Qing Dynasty)
If the feet were not bound at a young age, some people would use special methods. The following are even more cruel. When I looked up information, it hurts to think about them.
Clipping bamboo strips, pressing with stone slabs, wrapping with broken porcelain, etc.
Many men of letters and scholars would lavishly praise the beauty of bound feet and three-inch golden lotus in their poems and lyrics. They really didn't care about the life or death of women at all.
(Begins to play various photos of foot binding)
Since ancient times, men have had absolute say, and they define "three-inch golden lotus" as beautiful and praise it in poetry. Women who were influenced by the social atmosphere at that time and forced by their families had to cater to this distorted aesthetic. There was even a situation where foot binding was used to divide the noble and the inferior classes, and it was a pride for women in the family to have bound feet, and men would not marry unless they had bound feet. Under this situation, only women were harmed and had to bind their feet.
Women have become a group that is out of touch with society and never goes out of the house. They have become just tools for reproducing and nurturing offspring in a male-dominated society.
The uploader still can't figure out why it's already 2023, and there are still women who want to bind their feet? ? ? What's wrong with their brains! Why do you want to enslave yourself? !
Okay, I'm already angry, see you next time, friends from Station 13! 】
＜In the beginning, the Qing Dynasty did not allow foot binding, and issued orders to ban it many times, but the Han people still bound their feet. In the end, the court could no longer control it, and the practice was doomed to fall...＞
＜Right, right, right. Shaving the head and changing clothes can be changed, but foot binding cannot be changed [speechless]＞
＜The Ming Dynasty should not look for other dynasties to take the blame, it all started with you＞
＜I remember that foot binding was a type of disability during the Qing Dynasty＞
＜It started in the Song Dynasty, flourished in the Ming Dynasty and prospered in the Qing Dynasty.＞
＜During the Ming Dynasty, it was relaxed and popular among the people. As for the Qing Dynasty, it was a must-have for the whole country…＞
＜Thank you Mr. Sun Yat-sen! ＞
＜It’s really scary. Their oppression and control over women is really…＞
＜It was really miserable before［crying］＞
＜Anyway, it all depends on who has the final say＞
＜Image Comments: Search for Three-inch Golden Lotus Shoes on Taobao＞
＜Oh my god, how can this thing still exist?＞
＜Fuck, I strongly suggest that men who like small feet bind their own feet. You said you like it, but how can you just talk and not do it? You are a coward! [Angry]＞
＜Actually, men don’t like it either…＞
＜I heard that male pedophiles during the Ming and Qing dynasties also had their feet bound＞
＜Wow, this, this, I am speechless…＞
