For example, the three-inch golden lotus, and the dog's mouth spit out the abalone flavor.
Three-inch Golden Lotus
Three-inch Golden Lotus, should not be so unfamiliar, in the course of Chinese history, once accompanied by the development of China's history, more than a thousand years, in the course of Chinese history has left a thick ink traces, it can be said that this is the hidden and the darkest dead center of Chinese culture.
The three-inch golden lotus belongs to the ancient people's aesthetic customs, originating from the "woman with small feet for beauty" concept, the woman to a certain age, with a cloth belt to the feet tightly wrapped, and ultimately constituted a pointy, thin, such as the cone of the rhombus. With the Tang Dynasty, "fat for beauty" concept is similar, but in our view today, three inches of golden lotus is more like a monstrous aesthetic concept, we nowadays more inclined to this is a kind of foot-binding habits, is a persecution of women's freedom.
As for which era the custom of foot-binding began, there is actually no evidence to test. According to rumors, it began in the Sui Dynasty, flourished in the Song Dynasty, and died out in the early years of the Republic of China.
The three-inch golden lotus existed for more than a thousand years, has long been y rooted in the genes of men, women and children. Not only developed a small foot beauty of the seven standards: thin, small, pointed, curved, fragrant, soft, positive, but also summarized the small feet of the "seven beauties": shape, quality, capital, God, fat, soft, show. Those who are obsessed with small feet, and even according to the size of the foot to break down the beauty and ugliness: to three inches for the Golden Lotus, to four inches for the Silver Lotus, to more than four inches for the Iron Lotus.
When I was looking for information, I saw a cartoon that should be able to illustrate the ancient people's obsession with the three-inch golden lotus.
The whole society's morbid aesthetic is based on the mutilation of the female body. The proverb: "A pair of small feet, a vat of tears" is a true portrayal of the pain of foot-binding for women in ancient times. When young girls were four or five years old, they had to wrap their feet in cloth so that their feet could not grow. As she grew older, the cloth wrapped around her feet became tighter and tighter, and after a long period of time, her feet became triangular, and the women who wrapped their feet also lost the ability to walk at the same time.
Such a morbid custom, more than a thousand years of history, there is not a ruler dared to lift the mutilation of women?
In fact, there is, the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the Central Plains, at first, is strongly opposed to this custom, but also repeatedly ordered to prohibit women from foot-binding. The first time I saw this was when I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley. Later on, not only did the custom of foot-binding not diminish, but on the contrary, it expanded. Later developed to the point that the shape and size of the foot became an important standard for judging the beauty and ugliness of the woman, as a woman, whether or not to wrap the foot, wrapped how, will directly affect her personal life events; at that time, people from all walks of life to marry a woman with big feet as a shame, small feet as an honor.
Well, after the Xinhai Revolution, the wave of new culture and new ideas swept across the country, the country's thinking gradually open, the foot-binding habits are gradually dying out.
Although the traces of history have been far away from us, but we can still step on the last wounds, witness China's glorious history and the thick civilization on the edge of a string of anachronistic footprints - three-inch golden lotus. The last three-inch golden lotus is located in Beizan Village, Lianjiang, Fuzhou. Perhaps, you did not catch up with the time point, go to the time may have been unable to witness.

Abalone taste spit out of the mouth of a dog
Speaking of seafood, sea cucumbers and abalone when the first to be pushed, even if you have eaten the beauty of the two buddies must have also heard of the two pairs of people, know that their
Today, we are mainly talking about abalone, abalone is a valuable marine edible shellfish, known as the "table gold, the crown of the sea treasures", its meat is tender, nutritious. It is said that abalone is more delicate, more difficult to breed, a little carelessness will be "wiped out". As the saying goes, a mouthful of abalone is a mouthful of gold.
That said, last year, the circle of friends had widely circulated a picture of "1945 Shanghai's poor families, can only rely on eating hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake," which was envied by many people. Although the rumor was later confirmed to be false. But on the island, the poor people eat sea cucumber abalone, but it is true.
CCTV10 has done a food program "taste - Road", "looking for the memory of the taste of the year", which has a period, in Shandong, Changdao County, the North God of the island to shoot "island poor rice", abalone, sea cucumber is indeed the past poor people eat! The first time I saw this, I had to go back to the old days, when I had to go back to the old days, when I had to go back to the old days, when I had to go back to the old days, when I had to go back to the old days.
Speaking of this, it is indeed very emotional, I remember when I was a child, we are poor rural people, often can not afford to eat meat, but can occasionally eat a wild boar, rabbits, chickens, and even pangolin (forgive us for the ignorance of the time, ate the national level of protection of animals). But today, money is not always enough to eat these. What we eat today is either added with this or soaked with that. Society as a whole seems to be moving our taste buds away from their original flavor for what we eat.
With this in mind, it seems that if we want to be healthier, we need to live a "poor man's" life. For example, go to an island and look for the flavor of abalone. Such a place is not only mentioned above in Shandong Province, Changdao County, North Huangcheng Island, as well as Fuzhou Lianjiang Dongluo Island, where the dog's mouth is abalone flavor, as well as a touch of beach style.

So one year during the Qingming Festival, I went to go. With high expectations to go, but the heavens do not give power, encountered rainy weather, did not wait for the best light, and returned with displeasure. Later, has always been on the colorful mudflats have always had a heart. In one year's National Day, in the motherland inland of the southernmost Ma Cao port, encountered a mesmerizing mudflats, then thought Ma Cao port mudflats are so people times power, not to mention Xiapu?
