Features: The earliest lady might appear in the first poem of the Classic of Poetry, "The Swallow," with the line "Elegant and gentle, the lady, the gentleman's delight" evoking resonance even today, two thousand years later. Originally, the lady was merely "gentle" in the sense of "virtuous," and the meaning of the lady was simply a simple "good" word, already a good partner for men. Over the millennia of Chinese history, countless constraints have been added to the lady, including smiling without showing teeth, not stepping outside the main gate, and not leaving the inner gate, including bound feet, and so on and so on. Of course, compared to modern ladies, the happiest were the ladies of that time, who did not have to wear high heels.
