Photographer's chest

Ancient women, this has always been a bondage. No matter the traditional feudal dogma, it requires women to remain chaste and observe the three virtues; Or it is the evil custom of foot-binding that is gradually derived for the deformed male aesthetics, and it is the existence of oppressing women. We know that after the demise of the Qing Dynasty, these contents were constantly overthrown by us, and as a result, the custom of foot-binding disappeared. But, you know what? In fact, in the women's liberation movement in the Republic of China, there was another movement called chest liberation.

In fact, the ancient aesthetics is not only a small foot, but also an aesthetic called a small chest. In fact, we can see from many of our classic works that in their eyes, beautiful breasts are a kind of small breasts. For example, You Sanjie was described in A Dream of Red Mansions, which read "A green tube on the chest, a touch of snow on the chest". What does this mean? It is a kind of beauty of small breasts.

But we know very well that the problem of development is not that simple. How can all the women in the world be the same age? As a result, like the way of foot binding, the way of chest binding has gradually emerged. These women who are used to bondage were all in the Republic of China. In the early Republic of China, women still treated themselves this way. Even if you want to sleep, you still have to wear a long vest that is longer than your knees. It can be said that this habit is not a constraint for women.

As a result, in the 20th century, with the deepening contact with the West, the lifestyle and the way of maintaining the body of western women also spread to China. At first, people used small vests to represent the cloth strips of corsets. Later, people wore some tulle coats. This is women's pursuit of beauty and gradual awakening. It is this way, but it has attracted considerable dissatisfaction from men. They demanded that these women should be punished, and even more, they should put these women in nondescript clothes in prison. Thus, a chest liberation movement began.

At that time, countless men chose to print newspapers to support the movement. It is believed that women should choose to give up corsets, but they should also liberate their breasts. So, the movement began. By 1927, the then government of the Republic of China had moved to Wuhan and was holding commemorative activities. Suddenly, someone held a colorful flag and shouted that women were liberated into the parade. Soon, in July this year, a law was formally passed, prohibiting all abdominal restraint activities. And said that if someone violates it and is found out, they need to be fined. After that, the whole country also entered such liberation.

It can be said that such a provision is in line with women's liberation, isn't it?
