 * Thesis: Women and Men in China did many things to make themselves beautiful. Some things they did were very painful but other things did not hurt at all.Their beauty was different and strange among other people in the world.

In the tenth century the women of China would wrap theri feet in bandages to make them small and delicate. thsi custom and tradition ended during the 20th century. when they had realized that it messed up womenss feet, and the way that they walked. the men in chin had thought that smallest feeet that they could achieve the more attractive the women was. Back when China was first starting rich people would wear silk with elaborate designs on them, while the poorer people would wear just plain old cloth with little or no design.

====**Some people in China have different views and standards on beauty, apparently their standards in china didn't fit a little girl named Yang Peliyi. There was a girl named Lin Miaoke, and She performed at the China Olympics ceremony with a rendition of "Ode to the Motherland," which has already made her a national celebrity. The only thing is - little Lin mimed the actual song.**====

They faced a dilemma because although Lin was prettier, seven-year-old Yang had the better voice, Mr Chen said.**==== Vanessa. "China Olympics Turned Child Beauty Pageant." 12/9/08 22 Mar 2009 . "Ming dynasty (1400's AD) painting by Tang Yin Men and women in china wore things like tunics. tunics are like really long t shirts or dresses. Women wore tunics with belts

People in China generally wore tunics (like long t-shirts). Women wore long tunics down to the ground, with belts, and men wore shorter ones down to their knees. Sometimes they wore jackets over their tunics. In the winter, when it was cold, people wore padded jackets over their tunics, and sometimes longer pants under them. In early China, poor people made their clothes of hemp or ramie. Rich people wore silk. Most people in China, both men and women, wore their hair long. People said that you got your hair from your parents and so it was disrespectful to cut it. During the Sui Dynasty, in the 500's AD, the emperor decided that all poor people had to wear blue or black clothes, and only rich people could wear colors. X-ray pictures of someone with bound feet and a diagram In the Sung Dynasty, about 1100 AD, a fashion started at the emperor's court for women to bind their feet. Women thought that to be beautiful they needed little tiny feet, only about three inches long. They got these tiny feet by wrapping tight bandages around the feet of little girls, about five or six years old. A shoe for someone with bound feet The bandages were so tight they broke the girls’ toes and bent them underneath their feet and then they had to walk on them like that. The girls spent most of their time crying for two or three years and then the feet stopped hurting so much. Women with bound feet couldn’t walk very well at all, and when they had to work in the fields often they would crawl. Some of the earliest versions of the story of Cinderella come from Sung Dynasty China. In these versions, the point of the story is that the Prince loves Cinderella because she has the smallest feet of any girl in the kingdom, so the slipper will only fit her. Then in the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols brought cotton to China. At first people didn’t want to grow cotton, maybe because the people running the silk industry wanted to keep people buying silk. But the Mongol invasions in the 1200’s destroyed a lot of the mulberry trees that were needed to make silk. The Mongol emperors, like Kublai Khan, turned to cotton to fill the gap. In 1289 AD they ordered the opening of special training centers to teach farmers how to grow cotton. And in 1296 they ordered that farmers who grew cotton could pay lower taxes. Soon everyone liked cotton better than ramie or hemp. Cotton was warmer, and softer, and stronger, and cheaper. You could make it thin for summer, or you could make thick padded clothes out of it that were warm for winter."
