    [1] "Drinking Alone under the Moon - Part 2" Li Bai. Poem

    After Yu Qingwan ate the delicious food and drank two cups of sweet "Lotus White", she changed into dry clothes and was ready to go home.

    But Zhen Yougan had no intention of leaving at all, he was still sitting among the wild flowers and drinking.  Qing Wan went over to urge her a few times, although he agreed wholeheartedly, but she just didn't lift her butt, drinking one cup after another endlessly.

    "I don't see you, it's getting dark?" Qing Wan was obviously a little angry, "You are just talking nicely, saying that you love this and that, I see, you just love wine."

    Yougan said with a hippie smile: "What's wrong with loving wine?" Then, he recited Li Bai's "Drinking Alone under the Moon" as an example:

    "If the sky does not love wine, the star of wine is not in the sky.

    If the land does not love wine, the land should have no wine springs.

    Both heaven and earth love wine, and the love of wine is worthy of heaven.

    It has been heard that the Qing is more holy than the sage, and the Tao is as turbid as a sage.

    Since the sages have already drunk, why ask the gods.  "

    Qing Wan went up and snatched the wine glass that had reached his mouth, and threw it on the grass for her with a raised hand, "I'll let you drink it again!" Saying that, she threw the wine glass into the nearby stream for him.

    Yougan got up and went to pick it up, jokingly said: "You want to drink too! Heh, you still dislike my mouth, okay, I'll wash it for you!" Then he rinsed the wine glass in the water and returned  On the grass, the wine was poured again.

    Qingwan asked: "Tell me, is this wine so delicious?"

    Yougan picked up the wine and said with a smile:

    "Three cups lead to the road, and one fight is natural.

    But don't pass it on to those who are awake.  "

    After singing, he handed the wine in the glass to Qing Wan, and said courteously: "Hey, after drinking this glass, you will know the fun of wine."

    Seeing that Yougan didn't listen to her at all, Qingwan pouted her mouth, pouted her face, turned around and sat on the grass with her back to him, and got angry sullenly.

    Seeing the sun gradually sinking to the west, Qing Wan's heart was on fire, but she could only be anxious.

    The sun also seemed to have lost its majesty at noon, walking slowly down the mountain without haste.  The calm lotus lake is full of light in the twilight; the green sorghum leaves, the winding path, and the fragrant wild flowers and grasses are all wrapped in an intoxicating rose red by the beautiful sky.

    [2] "Love" Wu Rong. Poetry

    Maybe, girls are born to be angry; moreover, when they are angry, they like to hold their hair to vent their anger.

    Qing Wan unhappily pulled off the sparrow-shaped step on her head, and fell on the grass. The "suiyun bun" that had just been combed, seemed to be afraid of her master, and quietly ran along the top of her head,  Slowly slipped off her shoulders, and lay quietly on her back, waiting for the master to tear and vent

    Yougan took a sip of the wine and thought: It seems that Qingwan is really angry.

    Generally, the most unseen thing between men and women is the "cold war".  Because the cold war is the killer of feelings, if two people are not even willing to quarrel, then this relationship will not last long.

    It is good to let her speak quickly, even if she scolds herself, as long as she opens her mouth, the anger in her heart will dissipate with her tone.

    Of course, the best way to calm down a girl is for the man to admit his mistake first - no matter who is right or who is wrong, it is the man's fault anyway.

    Ke Yougan didn't want to admit his mistake this time.

    Because as soon as he admits his mistake, he has to lead her home immediately.  Yougan didn't want to go home, he didn't want to go home to guard his yellow-faced wife.

    But if you don't admit your mistake, what else can you do?

    Licking, yes, just licking, that is, praising girls.  There is no such thing as a sinking fish or a wild goose, no matter how disgusting it is, anyway, sugar-coated shells don't cost money, and the effect is the best.  Complimented her for being beautiful and comfortable, and then expressed her determination, what kind of sea is dry and rocks are rotten, what is forever!  Even if "except Wushan is not a cloud", women must be at ease first.

    Praise is not just based on lip service, it needs to be done with heart, and it needs to be praised from the heart.  Of course, it is definitely not allowed to misappropriate other people's poems. This requires "distraction", that is, to write a poem for her personally.

    You Gan is thinking while drinking.

    After a long time, he finally thought of a poem, cleared his throat, and read aloud:

    "How about Yiyi Maimai,

    ? Thin and light like a wave;

    The moon is not long, the flowers are easy to fall,

    I have been melancholy for Ido all my life.  "

    Qing Wan listened to this poem by You Gan, and her heart "thumped", as if she had been "electrically charged".nbsp;Her grandma also said: "It's hard to die, it's time to use a method."

    So, under the guidance of her grandmother, her mother found half a porcelain bowl, smashed it into pieces, put it on the soles, waists, and tops of her feet, wrapped it with foot-binding cloth, put on small shoes, and let her walk on the ground.  .  Her feet were scratched, and blood seeped from the foot-binding cloth, turning black, fishy, ??and stinking.  She was often pale from the pain, stunned, and lost a lot of weight.

    (5) The social and cultural background of footbinding

    Aesthetics: People at that time, regardless of gender, believed that small feet were beautiful.  Especially for men, small feet are sexually attractive.  For example, the word "three-inch golden lotus" is synonymous with female beauty.  Regarding the aesthetics of small feet, the most famous work is "Xianglian Pinzao" written by Li Yu in the Qing Dynasty.  He classifies and evaluates women's feet from the perspectives of shape, size, decoration, and smell.

    Morality: The custom of foot binding was considered a representative of a good family woman at that time, so women who did not bind their feet often had difficulties in marriage.  As an important part of identifying women's characteristics, footbinding is used to strengthen the traditional norms that men and women are different.  Foot binding also made it difficult for women to go out on their own due to difficulty in walking. Even if they went out, they often needed to take a car or a sedan chair, which strengthened the spatial division of men outside and women inside at that time.

    National consciousness: After the Qing people entered the customs, they tried to control the bodies of Han men and women.  For example, the rule that "men keep their hair but not their heads, women have their feet bound but not their feet".  But under such a cruel law, the Han men had no choice but to give in and shaved their hair to protect their heads.  And women who are imprisoned by the thought of footbinding would rather have their feet cut off than have their feet bound.  It can be seen that foot-binding in the Qing Dynasty was often regarded as a manifestation of fighting against the Manchu consciousness.

    (6) Foot binding and sex

    Women's footbinding is one of the important manifestations of feudal society's sexual oppression of women. It has a lot to do with desire and satisfying men's sexual interests.

    Since a man requires a woman to be chaste for her husband, she must restrict her actions, prevent her from having more contact with the outside world, and deprive her of the opportunity to interact with other men. For this reason, footbinding is a "wonderful method".  "Daughter Sutra" said: "Why, bound feet? It's not that she looks like a bow, lest she walk out of the door lightly and be restrained by thousands of wraps!"

    After a woman binds her feet, her three-inch golden lotus becomes the most private part, which must not be seen by strange men.  It doesn't matter if a man other than the husband accidentally touches other parts of the woman's body (including the chest), but it is absolutely unacceptable if he touches the little feet.

    In "Jin Ping Mei", it is described that Ximen Qing fell in love with Pan Jinlian and went to ask Wang Po for a pimp.

    Wang Po said: "It's hard to say whether she has such thoughts. You can come to my house for dinner, and I invite her to come too. When eating, you can pretend to drop your chopsticks on the ground, then lean over to pick them up, and pinch her chopsticks."  Little feet. If she flares up, there's nothing I can do about it; if she doesn't speak, it will be over." Ximen Qing followed suit, and the result was over.

    (7) Are small feet really beautiful?

    Generally speaking, when viewed from the front, the little foot looks like a lump of flesh that has been distorted and discolored after being burned.  There is only one upturned toe, and the nails on it can be vaguely discerned, and the others all present a hideous blurred outline.  Viewed from the side, the toe and heel have been broken off, and the two parts are close together, and under the echo of the soft flesh, they form a curve standing from both ends. The heel is bloated, the sole of the foot disappears, and the instep is raised.  The overall length of the foot is less than half of its natural length, and the whole foot is shaped like an irregular triangle.  The scariest thing is to look at the soles of the feet from the front.  It is an absurd pattern that completely dissolves the original image of the human foot.  Except for the deformed heel, there is no smooth sole.  The four toes turn outward with different lengths, and surround the center of the foot with the big toe as the axis. The front of the toes thus becomes the center of the sole of the foot, which is completely twisted and pressed under the sole of the foot.

    What is puzzling is that, whether it is pleasing to the eye or from a health and practical point of view, women's feet binding should not be accepted, but such cruel behaviors have been prevalent in our Chinese history for more than a thousand years.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
