The golden lotus myth refers to the traditional Chinese practice of foot binding, which was seen as a symbol of beauty and status among women. The idealized "golden lotus" represented small, delicate feet, which were believed to enhance a woman's desirability and marriage prospects. This practice, which began in the Song Dynasty and persisted for centuries, inflicted significant pain and impairment, ultimately becoming a controversial symbol of oppression and the extreme measures taken to conform to societal ideals of femininity. The myth highlights the intersection of beauty standards, gender roles, and cultural traditions in Chinese society.
