What does it mean to tie a red rope on the feet of an ancient brothel woman?

In modern times, it is very auspicious to tie a red rope. When I went out to travel as a child, there were always vendors selling red ropes in major tourist attractions. Parents will buy one for their children's hands or feet, no matter whether it is expensive or not. Looking forward to peace, it seems that red can drive away evil things.

But what we don't know is that in ancient times, people used to tie ropes on the Dragon Boat Festival. Prostitutes not only sucked a red rope around their waist, but also sometimes sucked a red rope on their feet. Then why? There is a saying in ancient times that children travel thousands of miles to worry about their mothers. Feet are tools for walking around. The strings on my feet mean that even though I have become travel-stained, I still have parents, I also have concerns, and I also have brothers and sisters.

Tie a red rope and tell outsiders that they care. If it is not abducted by traffickers and forced by authority, the elders at home have no choice but to sell their daughters cheaply, hoping to gain the dignity of their relatives and friends. I also want to give myself a psychological comfort, indicating that I still have parents, brothers and sisters. Even if I am in this situation, I am not alone.

The other is the legal system, which actually protects the dignity of a dusty woman for the last time, because in ancient times, women would only be honest with their husbands, and the red rope was to avoid being naked. This is also a warning to outsiders that even though I am a dusty woman, my heart is still kind and pure.

After all, the fate of most prostitutes is tragic. They can't marry ordinary people, even being concubines will be rejected.

So I hope everyone can respect every profession. After all, if life doesn't force them, everyone would rather sit at home and play than do dirty work.
