Shoes Culture -- Treasures Of Art, Water And Hemp Shoes

Tianshui rumor said: Qinan brown seed water hemp.

Clear water, many wonderful names, and many wonderful places! Such a place is indeed like its name, and there is a river with blue waves, which is called the Ngau Tau river. Such a place, because there are clear rivers, naturally has good linen. If the water is a turquoise, which is hidden in the north corner of the east of Qinzhou City, it is a cluster of fresh and tender hairs on the turquoise.

In fact, as early as in the long "Book of Songs" era, hemp, as a traditional crop, has become the raw material of people's clothing.

This kind of plant far from the Book of Songs era is still widely planted in the Qingshui area.

Qingshui county is located on the North Bank of Weihe, and the western part of Longshan is temperate and semi humid.

Winter is colder and longer, and summer is short and cool.

The average annual rainfall is six hundred and ten millimeters, which is rich in hemp.

The hemp made here is pure white, and its fiber is thin, tough and long. It is an excellent raw material for making hemp shoes.

Clean water

"Old farmers are proud of their shoes, and they say they are skillful in making shoes.

The tourists will travel south-west tomorrow.

This is the praises of Yu Youren, a member of the Kuomintang.

Mr. Yu Youren is a Sanyuan people in Shaanxi province.

In his early years, he organized the Yasukuni army in his hometown to support the campaign of protecting the law initiated by Mr. Sun Zhongshan.

Later, they defeated Qishan and made a detour through Longnan to Guangdong.

Between the lines of the poem, the official showed his love for the flute shoes.

The birth of a pair of shoes is really from the hands, different from the production line.

One summer, I met a poor family in Cao Chuan Township, Qingshui County, and saw a long process of becoming a pair of shoes.

The host is fifty, honest and honest.

He used to plant seeds every year, not to eat hemp seed oil, but to wear flax shoes.

The autumn sun shines in this courtyard, quiet and beautiful.

He buried himself in the sunshine after the big tree was filtered, and made a pair of hemp shoes carefully.

First put the long plaited plait into a flat case and lay it on the bottom.

At this time, he looked up and said with a grain of wood: "this is called the thousand layer floor.

In this way, the road is long and the feet are comfortable.

Then, like planting seedlings, planted a slightly thicker hemp rope on the side of the sole, and made the upper, string up one by one, and then make the bridge of the nose.

At this point, it is necessary to drum up the shoes with a kind of name of the water, which means the shoe last, a prototype of a pair of shoes, but it is far from enough. Like a fine piece of art, it needs polishing.

The old man found out a crochet knitted fabric specially used for knitting, hooking out the shoes and ears of the braid, and dyeing before working.

Shoes become successful.

The old man is old, but she has no eyes, and has exquisite hands like women.

He said, "if you are used to it, where will your hands be born?" the two hands with a knife carved texture will sweat out the forehead when they do these movements.

He rubbed his cuff, and laughed, "too tight!" he must have been in the courtyard alone.

It will be more comfortable and handy.

He also took out a few flax shoes that he had saved in his home.

There are tippers on the tip of the head, which are called "red mother". They are called "loving mothers and their relatives". There are "single whip saviours", each with moral implications. Some styles even contain an ancient story or legend.

Originally, their thoughts and thoughts were hidden in a pair of shoes.

At this time, when we look at it again, we will find that the greatest culture is often hidden in remote and remote folk.

Hemp shoes have a long history and are very popular in China.

When Du Fu, a great poet in ancient China, went to the ancient Qin State in the west, he had a sentence of "two feet of sleeves and shoes."

The shoes were widely seen in the Tang Dynasty.

Gansu is rich in hemp and its shoes are popular all over the world, and each has its own characteristics.

Wushan hemp shoes are made of Hemp Cord and cloth, and the upper is woven into pure pattern with pure white cotton rope.

The shoes of jute shoes, Gangu, Qinan and other places are similar to those of Wushan shoes, but they are variegated.

Some of them are decorated with multicolored or monochrome cotton balls before the front of their shoes.

Children's Hemp shoes are more exquisite. They use colorful cloth or thread to weave into flowers and shapes. They are beautiful and stunning.

But the most amazing thing is the number of fresh water shoes.

According to relevant data, in 1929, general Ji Hongchang stationed in Longnan and held the National Games competition in Tianshui.

After the meeting, general Jean gave a set of clothes and a pair of plain hemp shoes to the domestic martial artists who came to participate in the competition, so that the name of the Qingshui shoes which had long been a specialty in Gansu spread.

According to textual research, in the past few years, the sneakers unearthed from the ASA Tang tomb in Turpan, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, are almost the same as those of plain hemp shoes.

In recent years, many foreign guests who have gone to Tianshui travel are amazed by the fashionable and distinctive flute shoes.

Praising this kind of shoes is not only beautiful in technology but also natural in nature.

The ancients said that "leather is good, and nothing is expensive." this is a respect for Ma, a respect for a craft, and a respect for the kindness of the earth.

We forget the modern people, we should learn to respect the craft and the earth!
