Do You Believe It? Men Tie Feet Too!

In many people's impression, "three inch Golden Lotus" seems to be the ancient woman's "patent". If the man has foot binding, it must be regarded as a big joke. A man with a slender "three inch Golden Lotus", imagines the big man's big figure and a pair of sharp feet, and walks up to that "graceful" form. Is it not to let people laugh off their fangs? It's hard to believe, but the fact is that there are "big men" to tie feet. This is not only depicted in the novels, but also in the 00 scattered historical materials.

　　
In the Qing Dynasty Zhang Hui's novel "the flower of flowers" wrote Lin Zhiyang, a man, who came to his daughter's kingdom. He was seen by the king and was Princess. The author described the process of foot binding as vivid: first, alum was applied to the seam of the feet, five fingers were close together, the foot was bent into arcuate, then wrapped in white silk, wrapped in two layers, stitched with stitch, wrapped tightly on one side, and wrapped tightly. After burning, the feet were burned like charcoal, and the pain was hard to endure. Then, other people needed to walk around with their arms and legs, so as to keep their muscles and bones tightly closed. They wrapped them up day after day, and fumigate with medicine. Less than half a month, the foot was bent and folded into four segments, and the ten toes were rotten and dripping with blood. (Li Ruzhen) Over time, the rotten flesh turned into pus, and there were only a few skeletons left behind. Suffer such serious crimes, if "Lin Fei" has foresight, she will not come to her country. Although the expression of "Mirror Flower edge" is chilling, it is really a description of wooden feet.

　　
This is the case in novels. So in real life, is there any man's feet? The answer is yes. According to Mr. He Zhihua, in the Qianlong years, the Qing Dynasty's Chronicles records that at the end of Qianlong, there was an actor who played the role of a woman named Hu Yaosi. When he was young, he began to twist his feet into small feet, just to make himself more like a woman in acting. In fact, as early as the Ming Dynasty, there was already a record of men's feet. In the Ming and Chenghua years, there was a man named sang Chong. In order to facilitate himself to play with women better, he not only learned about women's work, but also tied up his feet into small feet. He disguised himself as a woman to teach people how to live by hand. Records like this are still scattered in various historical materials, some of which are legends, but others are true.
