Residence introduction: The bed in the bedroom is called the eight-step bed. It was one of the most expensive pieces of furniture at the time and showed the lady's status in the family. There is a foot-wrapped stool in front of the bed, and a pair of shoes as small as water chestnuts in front of the stool. In our country, especially in the Qing Dynasty, women, regardless of wealth or status, had to have their feet bound. Small feet were considered beautiful, and they were highly praised and even worshiped like never before. They were called "three-inch golden lotus". This stool is the stool that the prefect's wife uses to wrap her little feet every day.
