Dear Lisa See, It is my first time to read your novel "Snow Flower and The Secret Fan". And I feel in love with the culture, specially I so interested about footbinding, nushu and laotong. Can you give me the articles about that? I'm interested to research the culture. Many thanks, :):)
Lisa See
I don't know of particular articles that cover all three subjects. You should probably look them up separately. A Google search ought to turn up plenty of articles on footbinding and nushu. (For nushu, you should look for Endo Orie's web site on nu shu.) I doubt you'll find much on laotong though. This relationship was only in this one county of China. It no longer exists.
