The Origin Of The Old Beijing Style Cloth Shoes In Tang Dynasty Hutong

In the 1271, the Yuan Dynasty was established.

As a political power established by the Mongolian people, it is very different from the Han traditional Wang Zhaoyou in terms of national policies. They attach importance to commercial trade and pay attention to financial management, but they deviate from the thought of agriculture.

As a result, the commodity economy has been developing rapidly, and there has been a rudiment of comprador capital and industrial capital. At the same time, the paper currency has become the national currency.

In the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, most of the capital city (now Beijing) formed a prosperous market trade, and the Tang Hutong was the famous shoe market at that time.

There was a bald shop called Li Jixie shop, a well-known footwear company far and near, when the court boots worn by the officials of the court were all made here.

Bald Lee, formerly known as Li Degui, lost his hair because of a childhood illness. He had a nickname: Li Bali.

When he was 13 years old, he learned how to make shoes, and when he was 30 years old, he used his nickname as a shop name. Unexpectedly, he aroused people's curiosity and came to business.

Bald Li has an extraordinary business genius. He has a wide range of contacts with the outside world. Officials and rich people are all right and left.

Bald Lee's shoe making process is quite different.

Only one thousand layers of cloth shoe soles will go through seven processes.

At the bottom, you need to have more than 81 stitches per square inch, pinholes, and needle evenly distributed.

The bottom of the hammer is soaked with hot water and hot and stuffed, and the hammers are hammered. The soles are firm and durable, soft and comfortable, no layers and no deformation. Even if people with sweat problems are used, the soles will not be wet.

The technology of the shoes is more meticulous and strict, and it is hard to sculpt the shoes mold, with beautiful appearance and generous appearance.

When the shoes are hand-made, the tight model is smooth, and the needle spacing between the shoes is neat. The upper and the soles are all plump and eat evenly.

Years of painstaking efforts, bald Li Jixie shop, eventually became a big businessman in the Tang Dynasty Hutong shoe business, has been followed by the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

In the 1367, Zhu Yuanzhang began the northern expedition. With the help of general Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, he captured the Yuan Dadu in August 1368, and the Hutong shoe market in Tang Dynasty was destroyed by the flames of war.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the descendants of bald Li resumed their ancestral industry, in order to commemorate the heyday prosperity of the Tang Hutong. At the same time, in order to avoid ancestor's taboo, the shop name was changed to the Hutong shoe shop of the Tang Dynasty.
