Chapter 634: Republic of China Costumes
There is no light in the heavens and the earth, and it is dark on all sides.
A strong storm at sea set off huge waves higher than the city walls, capsizing all ships, large and small.
......
Ji Aojian suddenly woke up from his sleep, and was greatly relieved to see the golden dawn of dawn from the window.
"Why do I have such strange dreams?"
Perhaps this fleet is so important, not only a world-class fleet that is firmly in the forefront, but also carries countless important ballasts, so that it is always difficult for him to be completely at ease during this voyage back home.
The fresh air was blowing, and the deck was still carrying last night's dew, and Ji Aojian had just come out of the cabin when he saw someone already walking with his pet.
"Ten sisters are early. β
"The third sister ...... early Wait, what are you wearing?"
The blonde girl smiled lightly, "Student outfit, what's wrong?"
"You've found one, why do I think it looks familiar?"
Ji Aojian rubbed his eyes: light blue shirt, Ruyi buckle, dark blue straight skirt, white socks and cloth shoes, such a small and fresh style, the style is too obvious, "This, isn't this a student outfit of the Republic of China!"
"yes, you're a good match for me, right?"
"It looks good though. Ji Aojian muttered, "But third sister, do you think it's appropriate to wear such a costume?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's not an authentic inheritance of our traditional clothing, it seems to have been deeply influenced by a certain culture. β
Ji Shengdian rolled his eyes, "You're a guy in a suit, and you're embarrassed to tell me what traditional clothes are authentic or not?"
"It's different, I'm wearing an international mainstream ...... now"
"Save it. You are still complacent in foreign clothes, and my school uniform is also oriental culture. Is it a fancy dress, what is the reason?"
"Okay. "Ji Aojian has nothing to say. Then I realized a very strange thing, "Third sister, we are the nineteenth century, where did you know about this style of the Republic of China?"
Ji Shengdian looked indifferent, "Naturally, I learned it from later generations." β
"The afterlife has not yet come, how do you learn?"
"I have an artifact, and I can observe the worldly customs of the afterlife. β
"What artifact?" Ji Aojian asked in surprise, "Could it be that conch?"
"That's right, it's the conch. Ji Shengdian took out the prizes from the previous fighting competition. Throwing it in his hand, "This artifact, put it on your ear, not only can you hear the sound of the sea, but after pouring water, you can also see some pictures of the future." β
"So you saw the Republic of China student outfit?"
"yes. Ji Shengdian smiled slightly, "Such a clean and elegant costume, I think it tastes very good to wear." β
"Third sister, this is a bit of a waste. Ji Aojian said regretfully, "You can see the picture of the afterlife." What a precious opportunity, why do you just focus on what's trendy?"
"So what should I focus on?"
Of course, we should pay attention to the classics and theories of later generations. β
"A classic?" Ji Shengdian seemed to be a little interested, "Is there anything worth reading." You recommend it. β
Ji Aojian cleared his throat, "For example, there is a book called The Road to Serfry, which I think is good. β
"The road to enslavement?" Ji Shengdian sighed. "What's the difference between this book and the end of history, the clash of civilizations, and so on?"
"Do you also know the end of history and the clash of civilizations?" Ji Aojian nodded repeatedly. "Both of these books, like the road to servitude, should be taken a good look at. β
"Why?"
"Because most of those who like the Republic of China are well-known. It is said that the Republic of China was an era of masters, academic freedom, good salaries, and a golden decade. Ji Aojian said with great interest, "And these famous books on the road to enslavement are all known and must-read divine books, if you don't read it, third sister, what a pity it is to wear this costume." β
"Die!"
The blue skirt moved slightly, the white shadow flashed, and after the electric light, a cloth shoe footprint appeared on the left side of the tenth sister's face, "You are the public knowledge!
"I was wrong, I was wrong. Ji Aojian hurriedly apologized, "Third sister, although you are wearing a student uniform of the Republic of China, you have nothing to do with the public knowledge. β
Ji Shengdian snorted, "That's right." β
"At most, I can only say that you are a young woman of literature and art. β
With a snap, another footprint appeared on the right side of his face, "Are you sincere in looking for death?"
"Third sister, there is something to say, something to say. Ji Aojian rubbed his face, "These two legs of rabbits rise and fall, there is no trace, I can't dodge, is it the legendary invincible mandarin duck legs?"
"You know the goods. Ji Shengdian's face softened a little, "You, you don't know the great significance of the Republic of China student outfit in history. β
"How could this be significant?"
"Let me ask you, what is the traditional school uniform for girls in China since ancient times?"
"Traditional school uniforms for girls?" Ji Aojian thought for a while, "There is no such thing at all, women can't go to public schools, at most the family has money, and a private teacher is invited to read and study, so where do you get the school uniform?"
"You know if you don't. Ji Shengdian said, "So this Republican-style girls' school uniform is the first time in thousands of years that girls can enter a public school and receive a sign of equal right to education, and this alone makes the significance of this costume great enough." β
"That's right, that's right. Ji Ao Jian Xin said convincingly, "That's true. β
"And secondlyβ"
Ji Aojian was even more surprised, "There is actually a second?"
"Because girls need to go out to study and walk outside, they don't have to bind their feet anymore. β
"This ......" Ji Aojian didn't expect it, but it always made perfect sense, "Yes, Chinese women don't need to go to school or work, and if they don't go out of the door, they will naturally be bound to their feet." β
"Phew!" Ji Shengdian glared, "According to your meaning, you don't need to go to school or work, you can bind your feet?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant. Ji Aojian said, "Foot binding is feudal poison, I am resolutely against it, you must not have foot binding." β
Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that my sisters would definitely not be in this kind of shackle, just like the jade feet in the black cloth shoes of the third sister now.
Ji Shengdian lowered his face, "What do you look at?"
"Third sister, your feet look like heavenly feet, white and flawless, perfectly proportioned, and have not been artificially compressed at all. Ji Aojian didn't say anything to praise, "Compared to those deformed little feet that have been entangled, you are equivalent to a first-class battleship!"
Crackling, Ji Shengdian kicked him to the ground with an invincible mandarin duck foot, "Die, die, what kind of metaphor are you!"
Ji Aojian clenched his head and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Didn't I praise you for being Tianzu, why do you still beat me?"
"How can it be so big, even the battleships have come out!"
"I just wanted to show that you're not that sick little foot. β
"Well, you know that foot binding is sick. Ji Shengdian stopped, sighed and said, "Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, the wind of foot binding has intensified, so that in the future, if a woman does not bind her feet since childhood, she will not be able to marry." β
"This one does. Ji Aojian said, "Chinese society has developed for thousands of years, and it is very stable and mature in all aspects. Correspondingly, some perverted social constraints have also developed to the point of reaching the peak, and all kinds of bizarre and distorted aesthetic tastes are in vogue. β
It is said that the Manchus did not have the practice of binding women's feet, but after entering the customs, Manchu women actually took the initiative to learn to bind their feet with the Han people, and the government forbade them to do so.
Ji Shengdian waved his hand, "You see, since the woman came out to study, she will also come out to work in the future, and the binding of feet is naturally inconsistent with modern civilization, so the flat cloth shoes of this student have liberated the feet of the majority of girls." β
"yes, yes. β
Ji Aojian nodded again and again, and asked, "Third sister, our family is a martial arts cultivator, and we have never considered foot binding, right?"
"No, we are so affected by the social climate that we can't ignore this problem. β
"But if you want to bind your feet, then how can you practice martial arts?"
Ji Shengdian's face was solemn, "I read a book of light skills when I was a child, which said that if you want to practice the top light skills of Yingying palm dance and dragonfly water, you must first be wrapped into a three-inch golden lotus." β
"That's. β
"I almost believed it at the time, so I can't assume that everything in the book is true. Ji Shengdian looked like he couldn't look back on the past, "Fortunately, the eldest sister told me in time that if you want to practice supreme martial arts, you must not bind your feet." β
"That's right. β
"The eldest sister said, the feet are weak, how to practice the rock-solid pile skills of the blue sky above the head? The feet are not strong, how can you punch the Nanshan Tiger and kick the Beihai Jiaolong? The feet are not hard, how to throw out the empty leg whip, how to kick the invincible mandarin duck legs?"
Ji Aojian touched the shoe prints on his face, and said with palpitations, "This is really a wise saying. β
Ji Shengdian smiled, "So, if anyone in my family can't stand the hardships of practicing in winter and summer, and the mind of practicing martial arts is shaken, the eldest sister will say, since you don't want to practice martial arts, then find a husband to support you, in order to be able to get married, someone is willing to want you, just wrap your feet first." β
"And then?"
"Basically, after two days of entanglement, I will obediently come back to practice martial arts. Ji Shengdian stretched, "You think, practicing martial arts is very hard, but after practicing as a master, you can dominate the world as you like." It is also very hard to bind your feet, but after practicing your three-inch small feet, you will be unable to move for life. Since you also have to endure all the hardships, of course you should practice martial arts. β
Ji Aojian said respectfully, "The pressure of foot binding can actually be turned into motivation for martial arts, which is very good." β
"yes. Ji Shengdian suddenly smiled, "So think about it, why didn't you fall behind after you were scared when you were a child?"
"What does this mean?" Ji Aojian's eyes widened, "No, don't you insist on practicing martial arts and get bound feet?"
"Correct. β
"Wait, I'm not a girl, what am I going to do with my feet?"
"Tenth sister, look at what you said. Ji Shengdian said as a matter of course, "Since you have to bind your feet if you don't practice martial arts, how can you make an exception? At this point, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, of course, you must treat them equally." (To be continued.) )
