Description

During the Qing Dynasty, in the Forbidden city, the princess and daughters of Manchurian lived. They did not bind their feet, but wore shoes with heels that required great balance. In order to keep their balance, they walked in small steps. With these shoes, the dance movement of Manchurian women were more gentle, making the dance more beautiful.
