Chapter 38 Debunking
Whenever Wuyou mentions foot binding, he hates it deeply.

"In the Ming Dynasty, many literati and scholars had very small feet, and they called them the three-inch golden lotus. The smaller the feet are bound, the more popular they are. Even girls from ordinary families will not be easy to marry if their feet are not bound. The smaller the feet are, the more beautiful they are. Well, the easier it is to find a good family, on the contrary, you can only marry those poor men who can’t marry a wife, and as time goes on, even women are washed and domesticated, and many of them start to chase after little feet.”

Those women before the Ming Dynasty looked at the sky and felt cold all over.

This is simply putting women to death.

Especially those women in war-torn time and space.

Women are inherently weaker than men in strength, and in times of war, women are often the first to be killed.

This is still under the condition that everything is normal for the woman.

They simply couldn't imagine what would happen if their feet were wrapped like that and encountered the chaos of war?
How could this escape?

If you really want to encounter disasters, you will only be caught and killed.

Wuyou was extremely angry: "I really can't imagine how perverted it is to like such a pair of small feet. How deformed are those literati and refined scholars, they like to use this kind of torture on women."

"Do you really think it is a good thing to break women's foot bones so that they can only stay in the backyard, even unable to walk, and make them have no choice but to obey men?"

I'm coming……

People in many time and space have this idea at this time.

The fairy must have said something very serious, and maybe she would scold those people.

Even Shihuang and Liu Che couldn't help nodding.

What the fairy said is right, how deformed a man's mind must be, and how perverted he must be to like a woman with bound feet like this?

When Shihuang thought of the broken foot, he felt that those literati in later generations were simply baffled.

He has strengthened his confidence that he must not hold the literati too high.

Liu Che wanted to drink some water, but when he thought of those pictures of small feet that made people sick at the sight of them, he couldn't drink the water.

He cast all his grievances on future kings.

How could future emperors tolerate things like this?

Could it be said that their harem is also full of such women?

Thinking of this, Liu Che felt like throwing up again.

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin held the hand of Empress Changsun: "The literati in later generations have no benevolence. Who has no mother, who has no wife? Who has no sisters and daughters? They can watch unrelated women suffer like this, How can you have the heart to let your own mother, wife and daughter suffer this kind of pain?"

Thinking about it, Li Shimin couldn't stand it for a minute if his daughter was tossed like this.

If anyone dares to bind his daughter's feet, he will draw his sword and kill that person.

Even many emperors of the Song Dynasty didn't understand why such small feet were so beautiful.

Moreover, Tianmuzhong said that it arose in the Southern Song Dynasty, but there were no literati in the Song Dynasty with such peculiar hobbies.

Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion was a little ugly.

Because from top to bottom in Ming Dynasty, foot binding has become a custom.

And the fairy scolded people so mercilessly because he was dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty under his rule.

"I'll think about it again, how to abolish foot binding."

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Queen Ma.

Wuyou is still denouncing the harm of bound feet.

"Foot binding not only restrains women, making women weaker and weaker, but also makes men weaker and sicker, which in turn affects the entire social atmosphere and makes everyone weaker and weaker..."

"Don't think I'm scaremongering. If anyone doesn't believe it, you can investigate for yourself. How much more likely is a woman with bound feet to have dystocia than a normal woman? What kind of children are taught by women with bound feet?"

"In the Ming Dynasty, those scholars were all powerless, but in the Han and Tang Dynasties, most of the scholars had good martial arts. Before the Qin Dynasty, the scholars were in better health. You know, Confucius was still 1.9 meters tall. As for the big Shandong men, even those famous poets in the Tang Dynasty all had martial arts."

"We have always called the Song Dynasty a weak Song Dynasty, and the literati are not so weak."

"Why did the literati become weaker and weaker in the Ming Dynasty?"

"How many acupuncture points are there on a person's feet? The feet are connected with all parts of the body. Wrapping the broken bones of the feet will block the blood vessels and affect the person's physical development. If a person cannot even walk steadily, he will be limited to a lot of problems. In a small space, it will affect the thoughts of the whole person, making people narrow their vision and mind.”

"Everyone can think about it, what kind of child can a mother with a weak body, who walks step by step and breathes three times, has a bad mind and vision, and has less knowledge, conceive and raise a child? Let's not talk about the increased chance of a woman being too weak and dystocia, which will affect The population growth of the whole society means that there is no dystocia, and the child is born normally, how will the child be affected by such a mother over time?"

"Will they think that being so weak is beautiful, taking three breaths in one step is good-looking, and will they pursue such beauty even more?"

"If most people have such a concept, and the number of able-bodied people will decrease, if foreign enemies invade in the future, who will be able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy? In a year of famine, who will have the strength to withstand disasters? With the plague, those bodies will How can a weak person resist?”

Worry-free to ask questions sentence by sentence, every word is pressed tightly.

This made many emperors of the Ming Dynasty sweat.

They always thought that it would be no hindrance for women to bind their feet. Anyway, those women were willing to bind their feet, and their families agreed.

The purpose of binding their feet is to make their life easier.

Anyway, farming, heavy work, labor and other things are done by men, and women only need to stay at home and don't have to travel long distances, so they can do whatever they want.

But now they don't think so.

They can't help thinking, if the whole society becomes weak and sick, does this country still have any ability to resist risks?
Both Shi Huang and Liu Che nodded.

"Only those who are strong can do more work, and only those who are strong can give birth to strong children. The fairy is right."

Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "Please come into the palace, take a pen and paper, I want to write the ancestral precepts, I want to tell my sons and grandchildren, whoever dares to bind my daughter's feet will be expelled from the clan."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned livid: "Sure enough, those literati are all harboring evil intentions. It's fine to just gossip all day long and not do business. They also want to make my Daming sick. It's really hateful."

"The literati of the Ming Dynasty have double standards. They talk about Confucius and Mencius all day long. They talk about Confucius and Mencius all the time. They are all words of the saints. But I remember the saint said that the body is inherited from the parents and does not dare to be damaged? Why are these things? The literati who keep talking about the words of saints have forgotten the teachings of saints when it comes to the matter of binding women's feet? Does it mean that only men should obey the teachings of saints and not women? Or do they mean that in their hearts, women are not human beings? "

As soon as Wuyou uttered these words, the faces of the literati in the entire Ming Dynasty turned pale, sweat slid from their foreheads, and many people were sweating through the backs of their clothes.

"If Confucius and Mencius knew, and knew that the literati in the later generations said one thing and did another under their banner, and what they said was aboveboard, many people would be full of male robbers and female prostitutes. I'm afraid the coffin board will not be able to hold it down."

Looking at the fairy's stern words in the sky, I don't know how many people cried bitterly.

The mothers of many women who were tall and strong, but were forced to bind their feet by their families, finally died because of the bound feet, weeping loudly.

"My son, if the sky had appeared earlier, my son would be alive now."

"My daughter, my daughter was forced to die like this."

"That's how my sister died."

The women in the back house cried loudly, which made some conscientious men start to reflect.

But there are still some pedantic men who loudly reprimanded: "Why are you crying? It's because her life is bad. Otherwise, why can't she survive when others are fine?"

Some literati looked at the sky with hatred.

The fairy on the sky curtain took off all their fig leaves, leaving them with such faces that they didn't know where to put them.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty gritted their teeth and said one by one: "It is my decree that from now on all women will no longer have their feet bound, and those who have their feet bound will be released immediately."

In other dynasties, many people who loved their daughters taught them.

"Did you see, the fairy is telling us that the body is the most important thing, but don't compromise the body for the sake of beauty. Let's eat well and grow strong. This is better than anything else."

Li Shimin laughed.

"It's better for me, the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has always regarded health as beauty and never promoted thinness..."
