So footbinding is pretty weird. It's solely Chinese (particularly North Chinese), with the Japanese, the Vietnamese or the Koreans never practicing it. It would seem to be against major passages in the Canon of Filial Piety (among others), and yet this strange practice thrived in a Neo-Confucian China.
So what if there was no footbinding? This is probably a positive for the Chinese economy as well as the billions of five-year-olds. What would be changed?
