When binding feet, let the girl sit on a low stool, put hot water in the footbath and wash her feet. While the feet are still hot, bend the other four toes outside the big toe as far as possible to the center of the feet, and sprinkle alum powder between them to make the skin converge and prevent mold infection. Then wrap them in cloth and sew them with needle and thread to fix them. Feet often feel hot after being wrapped, and experienced people don't wrap them viciously from the beginning.

When winding, slowly tighten, so that the pressure on the skin of the feet is tighter every time. Don't be too tight at this time. Take the small pain that the foot can bear as the degree. During this period, bend your toes so that your feet roll down slightly. When wrapping, wrap the second and fifth toes in advance and let them roll up to your feet, and the third and fourth toes roll up to your feet. Trial binding takes several days to two months. During this period, the foot-binding cloth will be beaten into a pulp, wrinkles will be removed, and the foot will be slightly wrapped tightly, so that the foot will be subjected to the pressure of hard foot-binding cloth and tight wrapping, and then it can really be wrapped hard.

Wrap the tip (toe)

When winding, the cloth should be rolled as tightly as possible. Every time you untie the rewind, you should tighten your four curled toes inward from the soles of your feet. Bend your toes and press them under your feet every time you wrap them. At the same time, the four curled toes should move backwards one by one from the sole of the foot to the heel, so that there is a certain space between the toes to avoid the toes being crowded together and the toes being too thick after wrapping the feet. Wrap it until the little toe is under the waist and the second toe is under the big toe joint. When wrapping the tip, you often have to twist your toes to the soles of your feet so that they can't bend, and then clamp them tightly with a coated cloth. When dressing, the toe joint of the second toe and the toe joints of the third, fourth and fifth toes are greatly twisted, and several sprained joints are injured every time. It hurts when you wrap it. You have to sew it tightly. When walking, the weight is pressed on the eight toes that kneel in the inner bend, and the joint sprain is more serious. Because the toes just bend inward, they are not close to the soles of the feet. It is easy to grow corns on your toes when walking, and often remove corns with a needle when necessary.

During the day, my feet hurt so much that I can't move a step. Putting your feet in the quilt at night is not only painful, but also sultry, sometimes as painful as burning charcoal. You can only put your feet outside the quilt when you sleep. It is common to get up in the middle of the night and cry at my feet. Some of them hurt so much that I had to untie the foot wrap, but when I was found, I was just beaten up and then went back hard. I often stay up all night and stick my feet against the wall to cool down. You have to unwrap the cloth and wrap it tighter. At the end of the third, fourth and fifth days, the toe joint will be severely sprained or even dislocated. When you sprain and dislocate, your feet will swell badly and your skin will turn purple, which is extremely painful. But the package is still tight day by day until the swollen toe is wrapped under the foot, which is the work of wrapping the toe, and then the work of wrapping thin can be carried out.

Wrap thin (feet)

When tiptoeing, all four toes have curled up under the soles of your feet, but they may not be able to lean on the soles of your feet. The work of wrapping thin is to push the toe bone (that is, the exoskeleton) of the little toe down and roll it into the sole of the foot, bend the heel of the little toe down to the inside of the sole of the foot, and then tie it tightly with a coating cloth, so that the second, third, fourth and fifth toes will not be pressed under the sole of the foot when wrapping the toes, but should be wrapped thin.

When wrapped thin, the foot wrap is tightly wrapped, and the whole strength is especially concentrated in the heel of the little toe. Often due to poor blood circulation, the heel of the little toe, that is, the position of the external bone, festers. When winding, push the little toe down, then push the four toes to the inner edge of the sole, and wrap the foot cover tightly. After winding, your feet may hurt for a long time and you can't walk. You have to struggle to walk with your heels. It hurts when you walk. It hurts when you sit down, but it hurts when you sleep. If your feet fester, the situation will get worse. You have to put a pillow and quilt on the mat, and sometimes you have to put your heel on the railing of the bed to suppress your nerves to feel better. When the weather is hot, it hurts more when the feet are hot. Sleep when the pain is light, your feet still twitch with pain, or wake up frequently all night, and your diet is tasteless. Untie the wrapping cloth, often the festering part is tightly attached to the wrapping cloth, and when it is barely torn off, it is already bloody. It takes almost six months to endure the pain until the toes are copied to the inside of the foot and the toes can be touched from the inner edge of the foot, which is considered as thin as a house. If the ulcerated wound is not handled properly, it will often become more and more serious. In the end, it will even lead to the decay and shedding of the little toe to form chronic osteomyelitis, which will not heal for many years. Therefore, it takes a lot of hardships to tie a pair of feet. No wonder women who bind their feet care for their feet more than anything else.

Wrap (the surface of a foot)

After the sole of the foot is wrapped thin, the work of wrapping and bending is carried out. The deeper the indentation, the more serious the arch of the sole. The sole of the foot is folded into two parts, and the front of the sole is close to the heel. The middle seam is sometimes as deep as four or five centimeters, and the little toe is caught in the deep seam. Because of the bending of the sole of the foot, the instep bulges upward into a high slope shape, and some poorly wrapped instep bulges upward like a ball. After wrapping, the length of the foot is obviously shortened. The standard foot is required to be three inches long, which is about 10 cm. The process of wrapping is to push the heel forward, press the instep down, and then tighten the toes back and forth. After this bundle, the big toe hangs down immediately, and the foot center is slowly concave. Then, it's very difficult. The more you bend the bow, the more you can wrap your feet in about half a year. Generally speaking, when the feet are bound and bent, the pain is slightly relieved, but in some places in the south, the soles of the feet are not very hard. I didn't wrap my feet until I was a teenager, and I was very short. At this time, the pain was so severe that I even rolled on the bed with pain. If you don't have enough time to wrap your feet thin, you can wrap them directly. Often after you wrap it, your feet will turn inward and bend inward, and the foot shape like a banana is ugly. Feet bend from straight to arch bridge, and then into horseshoe shape, until the toes and heels are close together, and the arch can no longer be shrunk, which is considered as a pair of standard feet. The process of foot binding is simply that when wrapping the tip, the outer four toes curl and the outer longitudinal arch of the sole bends. When the package is thin, the lateral arch of the foot bends downward and further bends the lateral longitudinal arch. The medial longitudinal arch of the foot flexes only when wrapped, and the lateral longitudinal arch flexes more thoroughly. After the foot is wrapped, the arch on the sole of the foot to cushion the impact force disappears, and the knee joint and ankle joint are used as buffers when walking. Because the sole of the foot is so thin that only the big toe is left, the force of pushing the sole forward when walking is very small, and most of them follow the ground with their feet, using the strength of the thighs to move, and the calf muscles are underdeveloped. Therefore, after the feet are tied, the calves become thinner, while the thighs become thicker. Some people use the big toe ball and heel to work together when walking, so walking becomes an external eight-character walk, which is also a common form of walking with small feet.
