Fashion or politics?
3 Read the texts about foot binding and pigtails in China and answer the questions.
Foot binding
In China, from as early as the 10th century, the size of a woman’s feet was a sign of her beauty. People thought that if the feet were smaller, the girl was more beautiful and she would find a husband more easily. Mothers wrapped their daughters’ feet with very tight cloths from a very early age so that the feet could not grow to their natural size. The mothers hoped they would achieve the ideal size of 6 cm. which was called the Golden Lotus.
Originally, only the richest girls had to go through this painful process, but by the 17lh century foot binding was common practice in all sections of society. During the 20th century, some people began campaigning for the end of foot binding and in 1911 it was finally banned. However, it was not until 1949 when the new Communist regime came into power that the prohibition on foot binding was enforced.
Chinese pigtail
From about the 17th century when China was ruled by the Qing dynasty. Chinese men had long hair which they wore in one long plait or pigtail down their back. At that time, men had to wear their hair in this style or risk execution. The fashion of wearing a long pigtail with a shaved forehead continued and the pigtail became a symbol of traditional Chinese values. During the 1911 revolution, men who cut off their pigtail and showed their bare neck were considered revolutionaries and the pigtail gradually disappeared.
