As the first stage of shoe culture in the city, "Huaxia shoes culture"

Tracing the evolution of shoe industry in the past 5000 years

The museum is divided into six parts, including the history of shoes, the folk custom of shoes, the category of shoes, the three inch Golden Lotus theme, the boutique display and special scenes.

"The history of shoes can be traced back to ancient times. In our historical exhibition area, we have covered all kinds of footwear from ancient times to new China."

Zhong Mantian, curator, said.

At the venue, the reporters saw from the antiquity, the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Republic of China until the founding of new China, and so on.

Moreover, there is a special exhibition area in Tianjin.

Look at shoes and learn ancient customs

The other side of the aisle is the "folk custom" part of the shoe.

Birth, old age, illness, death, marriage, funeral, marriage and sacrifice are closely related to shoes. In ancient times, people wore different shoes at different stages of life and places of communication.

Tiger shoes, tiger shoes, children's shoes, farm shoes and longevity shoes for tiger worship.

"This part is related to cultural etiquette, not only to see objects, but also to understand ancient people's thinking consciousness and customs through text introduction."

Bell curator said.

"Three inch Golden Lotus" is different.

"Many young people may have heard of only three inches of golden lotus, but we did not have a thorough understanding of it. We arranged this topic specially during the exhibition."

Bell curator told reporters that in the museum, the historical background, production materials, accessory accessories and different styles of the three inch Golden Lotus shoes have been displayed one by one.

Three inch gold lotus shoes products do not exist alone, but with a lot of accessories, mainly including silver and silk ornaments, and metal ornaments two, such as leg belt, foot ring and so on.

The three inch Golden Lotus shoes in different regions are also different.

The museum is a collection of 28 provinces and cities, with different sizes, colors and designs.

The ancient imperial examination was born with "cheating shoes".

Do you know that there are still "cheating shoes" in ancient imperial examinations? You can see them in the museum.

In the boutique display part, a pair of black cloth shoes attracted the attention of reporters.

Unlike ordinary shoes, it has a concave square on its sole, which looks like a few square centimeters.

"This is cheating in the imperial examinations. It is called" entrainment shoes ". The examinee will put the pocket edition of the exam model essay in the sag, then cover the shoe pad, and it will not be easy to be found in the examination, so that you can bring Fan Wen into the examination room.

The staff explained.

On the other hand, a total of 7 boutique shoes, which are praying for heaven's close proximity to the sky, court shoes, etc., are all presented one by one.

In the special scene, the real store of the shoe store in the Qing Dynasty, the shop facade of the old Mei Hua opened in Beijing, the 100 shoe wall with one hundred pairs of shoes displayed, and even the houses that the people bound for women were all displayed one by one.

In a small house, there were dozens of items such as foot chair stools, Golden Lotus splint, wrapping cloth, Golden Lotus irons and so on. The whole house was like a "torture chamber".

Reduction of ancient shoe making technology

Of course, in addition to these 6 parts, visitors can also feel the ancient shoe making process personally in the specific area of the museum.

A long table, a lamp, scissors, wooden clips, soles, rulers and other tools, the ingenuity of the working people make shoes to make a living.

Nowadays, looking around in the wide streets, modern atmosphere is coming, it is hard to see such a scene.

Sitting quietly in the museum, fiddling with objects from ancient shoes, feeling the scene at that time, there was no lasting appeal.

"As an important shoe base in the north of China in history, Tianjin plays an irreplaceable role in promoting the development of shoe culture. Now we have also built a museum to promote the shoe culture, so that more people can understand the history of the Chinese footwear industry, and guide and promote more people and understand the shoe culture through the way of physical display and historical description."

Bell curator expressed with deep feeling.
