In the golden age of Chinese achievement there was some give
and take as far as the women go. I
would say that overall their lives improved. However, I do think the feet binding part sounds
painful!!!!! I had hear about the
Chinese binding girls feet but I was a bit skeptical on if it actual happened
nor did I know why. After reading
this in a history book I was almost shocked to discover it did happen and it
happen so that the girls would be restricted inside to do inside chores. On the positive side the girls started
to see more property rights, education and there were even powerful paintings
and statues of women created. I
think that painting and statues of women is a good sign of improved statues.
I never knew that Buddhism wasn’t very popular in China at
first. I always thought that
Buddhism and China just kind of went together. Now that I’m taking more time to think about it, it makes
sense that it was not a solid belief at first because it focused more
individual enlightenment while China is very much about the society.
