The bound feet referred to early in the article usually only applied to upper class women. Were middle and lower class women hobbled by this means they couldn't have moved around enough to do all of the work expected of them.

For example, according to researchers, the letters represent sound -- the sounds of this region's Cheng Guan Tuhua dialect -- and not ideas, as in the Chinese ideograms that men studied and wrote.This is the point that got my attention. More like Western alphabets (or Korean).
