There is a worse bad habit in Europe than foot binding, which has killed countless women. It is really "suffocating beauty".

As we all know, women in ancient China had the bad habit of foot-binding, which ruined the youth and health of many girls. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that Cixi ordered the ban on foot binding. With the opening of the atmosphere, Chinese talents abolished this bad habit. There was also a terrible bad habit in ancient Europe, called "corset"!

Ancient China people thought "Three-inch Golden Lotus" was a symbol of beauty, while ancient Europeans thought "Bee Waist" was the most beautiful. At that time, in Europe, both men and women thought that a thin waist was beautiful and could set off women's hips and breasts. There is an old saying in China: "The king of Chu has a thin waist, and Gong E starved to death. "It is said that the king of Chu likes a woman with a thin waist. In order to get the favor of the king of Chu, the harem beauty has been on a hunger strike for hundreds of years to lose weight in order to achieve the goal of slimming. Because of the hunger strike, many palace moths starved to death! European women are more exaggerated than this in pursuit of a thin waist. Many women use the method of "waist-binding", which not only makes their bodies deformed, but even some lose their lives.

Legend has it that the tradition of girding the waist in Europe originated from the European court. We know that the courts in Europe are actually very chaotic. Queen Josephine of France got pregnant unexpectedly because of derailment! This is a complete scandal. Seeing that her belly is getting bigger every day, the queen adopted the method of girding her waist to cover her belly. I didn't expect the corset to have an unexpected effect, setting off the chest more upright! Other aristocratic women followed suit after reading it, and the so-called "up and down effect" became a fashion trend in Europe for a time.

In ancient China, girls bound their feet when they were very young, and so did European women. Generally speaking, parents will gird girls around the age of 1 1, but it won't work if they are older! At that time, Europeans thought that the standard waist circumference of a beautiful woman was 18 inch, and corsets with skirts were the most popular clothes at that time.

The harm of waist binding is very great, which leads to serious deformity of girls. In order to get a slimmer waist, they even implanted bras into the skin. Many women have difficulty breathing because of their waists. It's really "breathtaking beauty"! There are still many girls who died because of their waist; Some girls have poor waist-binding effect, so they can only hunger strike in order to slim their waists, and finally they die of anorexia; Because some girls can't give birth to children smoothly because of waist-binding after marriage, they eventually die in dystocia ... It was not until the 20th century that the bad habit of waist-binding in Europe gradually disappeared, and women finally returned to their original bodies, so they didn't have to hang on by a thread to slim their waists!
