Foot Binding

foot binding is a tradition of stopping the growth of women's legs of antiquity that occurred in China. They believe the girls who have the most petite feet are the most beautiful women. The parents began to tie the legs of their daughter since the age of 7 years. But now the Chinese government has banned this tradition.
