When binding feet, let the girl sit on a low stool, put hot water in the footbath, wash her feet, and when the feet are still warm, twist the other four toes except the big toe as far as possible toward the center of the foot, sprinkle alum powder between the toes to make the skin converge, and also prevent mold infection. Then wrap them with cloth and sew them with needle and thread. After the feet are wrapped, they often feel hot.
Try tightening
When winding, slowly tighten it, so that the pressure on the skin of the foot is tighter every time. At this time, it should not be too tight. Take the small pain that the feet can bear as the degree. During this period, twist the toes to make the feet roll down slightly. When wrapping, wrap the second and fifth toes in advance, so that they curl up to the foot, and the third and fourth toes will curl up to the foot. It will take several days to two months to try on the binding. During this period, the foot binding cloth will be pulped hard, beaten to remove wrinkles, and slightly tightly wrapped around the feet, so that the feet will be subjected to the pressure of hard foot binding cloth and tight binding, and then they can really be wrapped hard.
When wrapping the tip (toes)
When wrapping, wrap the wrapping cloth to the tightest degree. Every time you untie it and rewind it, you should pull the four curled toes from the bottom of your foot to the inside, and each time you wrap it, you should bend your toes and press them more under your feet. At the same time, the four curled toes should be moved backwards from the bottom of the foot to the heel one by one, so as to make some space between the toes, so as to avoid the toes being crowded together and the toes being too thick after the feet are wrapped. Always wrap it until the little toe is pressed under the waist of the foot, and the second toe is pressed under the big toe joint. When wrapping the tip, you often have to twist the toe to the sole of the foot to the point where it can't be flexed, and then use a wrapping cloth to tightly hold it. When wrapping, the toe joint of the second toe and the toe joints of the third, fourth and fifth toes are greatly twisted, and several sprained joints have to be injured again every time. When wrapping, it is painful, and it is necessary to use a needle and thread to wrap it tightly. When walking, the weight is pressed on the eight toes that bend inward and kneel, and the joints are sprained more severely. Because the toes just bend in, they are not close to the soles of the feet. When walking, the toes are prone to corns, and the corns are often removed with needles when necessary.
During the day, my feet are so painful that I can't walk. At night, putting my feet in the quilt is not only painful, but also steaming hot and stuffy, sometimes it is as painful as burning charcoal. I can only put my feet outside the quilt when I sleep, and it is common to get up in the middle of the night and cry next to my feet. Some of them are so painful that they have to untie the foot wrap, but when they are found, they are beaten up and then go back hard. They often stay up all night and stick their feet on the wall to get it. You have to untie the wrapping cloth and wrap it more tightly. At the end of the third, fourth and fifth days, the toe joints will be severely sprained or even dislocated. When sprained and dislocated, the feet will swell badly, and the skin will turn purple, which is extremely painful. However, the wrapping is still tight day by day, until the swollen toes are wrapped under the soles of your feet, this is the work of wrapping the toes, and then the work of wrapping thin can be carried out.
wrapping thin (toe-wrapping)
When the toe is wrapped, all four toes have curled back under the sole of the foot, but they may not be able to lean against the sole of the foot. The job of wrapping thin is to push the little toe bone (that is, the external bone) downward and inward into the arch of the foot, push the heel of the little toe down to the inside of the arch of the foot, and then tighten it with a wrapping cloth. When wrapping the toe, 2.
When wrapping thinly, the foot-wrapping cloth is wrapped most tightly, and the whole strength is especially focused on the heel of the little toe. Often, due to poor blood circulation, the heel of the little toe, that is, the position of the external bone, is ulcerated. When winding, push the little toe down hard, and then push the four toes along to the inner edge of the sole of the foot, and wrap the foot wrap tightly. After winding, your feet may be so painful that you can't walk for a long time. You have to struggle to walk with your heels, and it hurts when you walk. It hurts when you sit down, and it will rise and hurt when you sleep. If your feet fester and fester, it will get worse. You have to put your feet up with pillows and quilts, and sometimes you have to put your heels on the bed rail to press your nerves to feel better. When the weather is hot, the fever in your feet hurts even more. When the pain is light, I sleep, my feet still twitch with pain, or I wake up frequently all night, and my diet is tasteless. Untie the wrapping cloth, often the festering parts are tightly adhered to the wrapping cloth, and when it is barely torn off, it is a bloody mess. It takes almost six months to endure the pain until the toes are copied to the inner side of the foot, and the toes can be touched from the inner edge of the foot, which is considered as thin as a house. The ulcerated wound is often more and more serious if it is not handled properly. In the end, it will even cause the little toe to rot and fall off to form chronic osteomyelitis, which will not heal for many years. Therefore, it takes a lot of hardships to tie up a pair of feet. It is no wonder that women who bind their feet care for their feet more than anything else.
wrapping (foot-wrapping surface)
After the sole is wrapped thin, the work of wrapping is carried out. Wrapping is to wrap a deep depression in the palm of the sole. The deeper the depression, the more severe the arch of the sole is, and the sole is folded into two parts. The sole in the front section is close to the heel, and the middle seam is sometimes as deep as four or five centimeters, and the little toe is caught in the deep seam. Because of the bending of the sole, the instep is After wrapping, the length of the foot is obviously shortened. The standard foot is required to be three inches long, that is, about 1 centimeters. The process of wrapping is to push the heel forward, press the instep down, and tighten the front and rear forces. After the big toe passes through this bundle, it immediately hangs down, and the center of the foot slowly shows a concave shape. Then, the bow bends more and more, and the foot can be wrapped into an arch in about half a year. Generally speaking, the pain is slightly relieved when the feet are bound and bent, but in some places in the south, it is not very hard to wrap the soles of the feet thin. It is not until the teens that the feet are wrapped and the requirements are particularly short. At this time, the pain is very severe, and it even hurts to roll on the bed. If you don't have enough time to wrap your feet thin, you can wrap your feet directly. Often, after you wrap them, your feet will turn inward and bend inward, and the shape of your feet like bananas is very ugly. Feet bend from straight to arch bridge, and then into horseshoe shape, until the toes and heels are close together, and the arch can't be shrunk any more, it can be regarded as a pair of standard feet. The process of foot-binding is simply to curl the outer four toes and bend the outer longitudinal arch on the sole of the foot when wrapping the tip. When wrapped thin, the transverse arch of the foot flexes downward and further flexes the lateral longitudinal arch. The medial longitudinal arch of the foot is flexed only when it is wrapped, and the lateral longitudinal arch is further flexed more thoroughly. After the foot is wrapped, the arch on the sole of the foot used to cushion the impact force disappears, and the knee joint and ankle joint are used as buffers when walking. Because the sole of the foot is so thin that only the big toe is left, when walking, the force of pushing the sole forward is very small, and most of them follow the ground with their feet, using the strength of their thighs to move, and the calf muscles are underdeveloped. Therefore, after the foot is bound, the calf also becomes thinner, while the thigh becomes thicker instead. Some people use the big toe ball and the heel to work together when walking, so walking becomes an external eight-character walk, which is also a common walking form of small feet.
