It began in the 900's because a dancer performed for the emperor with bound feet and everyone thought she was so graceful. Other dancers started to copy her. Then it started to spread through the upper class community. Peasants couldn't have bound feet because then they couldn't work efficiently.
Well I don't know about that, but the way I heard that it started was through beauty: the Chinese community believed that the smaller a woman's feet were, the more beautiful she was. I believe thIs all started because of a semi-real life Cinderella story about a girl with a bad home life, that ends up marring a prince that loves her MOSTLY for her small feet that were not bound. When other people learned this, they also wanted their daughters to have small feet so that rich men would take interest In them. Thus foot binding began.
