Old Age, Old Tiger, "Tiger And Wind" Have Unique Skills.

Suwen village, Zhao Guiying, a villager in the village of Chengzhuang town in Tai Qian County, is famous for its tiger shoes.

In October 19th, I interviewed the 80 year old artist.

When entering the old man's room, dozens of pairs of exquisite "tiger head" cloth shoes placed on the table firmly attract the attention of the author.

These shoes, specially designed for children, are not ambiguous at all. Palm size soles are handy with hundreds of needles.

"After the autumn, the weather became cool, and there were many people to buy tiger shoes.

Everyone knows that the shoes I made are good. If someone comes to buy them, they can't let them go empty handed.

I will do overtime work and use it in big space and small space, and I can make a pair in two days.

Besides, I am not accustomed to being idle. "

The old man Zhao Guiying happily chatted with the writer, chatting, and the old man did not stop his work.

I also learned from the old people that tiger shoes are a kind of children's shoes. They are tiger head shoes because of their appearance.

Tiger head shoes are complex in their work. Only needles, embroidery and other needles are needed for tiger heads.

The color of shoe upper is red and yellow, and tiger mouth, eyebrows, nose and eyes are often outlined by rough lines, exaggerating the strength of the tiger.

Sometimes, the tiger's ears, tiger's eyes, tiger lips and so on are trimmed with rabbit hair. The children wear tiger shoes, and rabbit hair float in the wind.

The time to wear tiger shoes is about one year old.

At this time children eager to try, want to walk, but also can not do without the help of adults.

At this time, parents wear double tiger head shoes for their children, so that their children are down-to-earth.

A more important reason is that people think that tiger is the king of animals. Wearing tiger shoes can protect evil children from evil and protect their health and adults.

Zhao Guiying has been doing tiger shoes for decades. From her youth, she was a well known woman. Although she did not learn anything technically, she could go home and do it by memory as long as she saw the beautiful shoes on the street.

Although the old man is 80 years old, his body is still strong, his eyes are not bright, his ears are not deaf, and shoes are very exciting.

Her tiger shoes are beautiful and generous, and they sell well in the market.

Zhao Guiying also told the old man that she had made all the tiger shoes, but she did not receive any money.

She likes to give the elaborate tiger shoes to the children who are strangers. It is her most comfortable thing to see so many children in the streets and lanes wearing beautiful tiger shoes.

Later, people who came here to buy tiger shoes were very upset. They only received a cost, a pair of shoes one or twenty yuan.
