** Period of forbidden chest binding, breast exercise, punishment for violations.
In this country, where feudal etiquette has bound us for more than 2,000 years, the concept of male superiority and inferiority of women has made women's social status extremely low. From the spirit to the body, women bear double constraints and constraints, the most well-known of which is the "three-inch golden lotus", that is, female foot binding, this vice lasted until the ** period was abolished.
In the early days, there was another bad habit that began to prevail, that is, women bound their breasts. However, the chest binding did not last long before it was terminated by the "Heavenly Milk Movement". Chest corset refers to the use of long strips of cloth to tightly wrap a woman's breasts, or to wear a special tight-fitting cloth vest to restrain the breasts in order to conceal a woman's secondary sex characteristics.
Although breast-binding is a long-standing practice, there are not many historical records of it.
In the early days, with the collapse of feudal society, the status of women was significantly improved, and people advocated physical emancipation. Many old habits that were unfavorable to women were abolished, including foot binding.
However, under this open social atmosphere, women's breast binding has begun to prevail on a large scale, and some people even lament that "the harm of foot binding is decreasing, and the problem of breast binding is increasing".
In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, people's lifestyles underwent earth-shaking changes, and aesthetic concepts also changed. People in this period pursued the beauty of "straightness", so women needed to cover up the ups and downs of their breasts by corsetting their breasts.
If men and women at that time wore the same clothes and only looked at the upper body, then it would be almost impossible to distinguish between men and women and the front and back.
Breast binding may not cause lifelong physical harm to women like foot binding, but long-term use can also have serious health effects. The first to be harmed is the breast, which may not only affect development, but also cause various diseases such as mastitis, especially for breastfeeding women.
In addition, chest binding may also have a negative impact on heart and lung function and even lead to lung disease. Therefore, for the sake of our health, use the chest bundle with caution.
Corset breasts have been the mainstream of fashion for over 20 years. However, in 1920, the law stipulated that women wearing low-cut clothes or exposing their arms and legs were "lewd clothes", which was suspected of moral degradation and even imprisoned.
In this era of great change, the beauty of the heavenly milk quietly appeared, although the popularity of breast binding has not disappeared, but the voice of opposition has always existed. Many celebrities and feminist organizations have spoken out against female breast binding, and even ** has published articles about the dangers of breast binding.
Heavenly breasts"The wave quietly rose in the early twenties, Hu Shi's"Milk theory"Emerged. As a proponent of the emancipation of the female body, he called for the recognition that full boobs are more beautiful than straight.
This idea was supported by Zhang Jingsheng, an early Chinese sexologist, who elaborated on the benefits of not binding his breasts. In"The west wind is blowing eastward"Under the influence of the people, more and more people began to accept it"Heavenly breasts"Trendy women in cities such as Tianjin and Beijing have highly praised this concept.
In the past, many newspapers and magazines published images of women's natural breasts and ** to promote the beauty of natural breasts, which subtly changed people's aesthetics. However, the real climax of women's breast emancipation appeared in 1927, when Zhu Jiahua, director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Civil Affairs, submitted a proposal to the provincial government to "prohibit women's breasts", which was passed on July 7, which marked the outbreak of the "Tianyu Movement".
This movement enjoys the support of the general public.
In the "ban on women's breasts" bill issued by Guangdong Province, women are required to give up breasts within three months. After three months, if a woman is found to have her breasts tied, she will be fined more than $50.
There was an old man who resolutely opposed his daughter-in-law's chest binding, and as a result, his daughter-in-law was found to be breast-bound when she went to the street and was fined 50 oceans. After seeing the fine, the old man still did not compromise, saying that he could bear the fine, but still asked his daughter-in-law to bind her chest and forbid her to go out.
A fine made women in Guangdong, Shanghai, Wuhan, Beijing and other places support the Tianyu movement. The old antique was distressed by the fine, and no longer let his daughter-in-law tie her chest. This not only made women everywhere start to participate in the natural milk movement, but also made major cities across the country start to accept the movement.
Fines seem to have become an effective means of promoting the Celestial Milk movement.
On March 8, 1927, during the celebration of Women's Day in Wuhan, a socialite** rushed into the crowd and shouted "Long live women's liberation", a bold move supported by other women, who even gave speeches topless to fight for women's liberation.
This historical event shows that as early as more than 100 years ago, there were brave women in our country who fought for women's liberation. The brave behavior of these women laid the foundation for the later development of the Tianyu movement and ** culture.
With the national craze for the celestial milk movement, the breasts were officially abolished, but the problem that came with them was that without the restraint of the breasts, the breasts in a woman's outer garment could appear too revealing and inconvenient.
Therefore, women need an underwear that can be put under their outer clothes to moderately restrain their free breasts. As an imported product, it originates from Europe and can meet this demand.
* It can fix the breasts without being too restrictive, and it can also show off the beautiful curves of women's breasts, so many bold and avant-garde women are quick to accept **.
At the beginning of the last century, ** began to become popular. The famous movie star Ruan Lingyu also advertised for **, and some newspapers and magazines also introduced the wearing method and benefits of **.
This fashion trend is growing rapidly, driven by Shanghai's major business giants, who import large numbers from the West**. With the popularity of **, swimsuits and some Western-style dresses have also attracted attention and have become the standard for modern girls at that time, including ** and high heels.
The movement even sparked aesthetic changes.
* Instead of tight corsets, a fuller body instead of thinness, a movement to liberate breasts has completely changed our aesthetic concept, and women have more freedom in dressing and grooming.
European-style dresses, classic cheongsam, outlining women's hips and thin waists, showing the charm and mystery of oriental women. The lifting of the chest bind not only liberates women's breasts and bodies, but more importantly, liberates their minds, allows them to see a wider world, and provides spiritual power for improving the status of women.
The chest is like a shackle, restricting breathing and restricting physical freedom. Today's women have bravely given up their breasts, gained the freedom to breathe, and have been treated equally.
They hold their heads tall and don't need to bow their shoulders in front of others, and they use their actions and courage to fight for equal opportunities to show their beauty and self-confidence without restraint.
