Overview

Three-Inch Golden Lotus: Unveiling an Ancient Chinese Tradition delves into the origins, rituals, and societal impacts of footbinding, a unique form of body modification for women in ancient China. Spanning from the Five Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty, footbinding was romanticized as a symbol of elegance and beauty while deeply embedded in the patriarchal structures of feudal society. This book explores its significance in literature, art, and the marriage market, as well as the rise of the anti-footbinding movement and its modern echoes. By comparing footbinding to other cultural practices of body modification, the author offers profound reflections on global issues of beauty and autonomy.
