The Legend Of Northeast Shoes

There is a riddle among Guan Dong people.

Don't laugh at old man.

You don't know what to do.

What is it going to do?

When the rope is tied, it runs?

The riddle of this riddle is Chinese style 。

When they come to Jilin, people often visit the old shoe shops in the streets of URA street and Jilin. Of course, the shoes here are not genuine shoes on their feet, but rather a kind of folk toy shoes that are visited and kept in commemoration. These shoes are called shoes.

Wula (URA) is a kind of shoes made by cowhide in Northeast China. Urapen is Manchu, which refers to the shoes invented and manufactured by the northern Manchu ancestors. Because these two words are not easy to write, they are often written as "URA". And a kind of Kanto grass used for padding this kind of shoes is called "weeds" by folk.

It is an ancient Chinese folk. shoes One of them is also one of the products of Northeast Asia's ice and snow culture.

The eastern region is very cold, the average temperature in winter is generally below 35 degrees Celsius, 42 degrees centigrade in the right, and the frost free period in the alpine region is only about 120 days.

Legend has it that it is also "Huang Feng's shoes".

Legend has it that in one year, Emperor Qian Long visited the eastern part of Guandong Province.

Emperor Qianlong asked, "what is this?" the people replied, "shoes."

Qianlong is a wise and learned emperor. He said: "this shoe is unique and unique, and it is loved by the border people. Since there is no name, simply call it "URA shoes"!

This shoe is famous. Because "URA" is a place name, and this kind of shoes is made of leather, it is replaced by "two words".

Legends are legendary, but it is common for the northeast people to call it "Huang Feng". The king's cobbler in the shoe shop of van Jia Tun shouted so when he sold shoes.

"Buy it! Buy it! The shoes that the emperor seals, wear warm!"

It is not too much to say that this ancient shoe is the unique product of Guan Dong. According to Zhao Xigui, the boss of Nongsheng Sheng Yong shoe shop, he was very particular about the production of Kung Fu in kandong in those days. A cowhide can only produce 4, 5, double, and the best row between the four or five rows is two rows. The first row of skins is called the "bad door skin" in the tail root. The two row of skin is the best place in the cow's butt and the backbone, so the two row is the most expensive, which is three or four times more expensive than the first row and the three or four row. The shoes are also especially wearable and wearable. The three row is the waist bone place, the skin is horizontal, and the quality is not good. Only two rows of "cross flower bone" are excellent goods.

In those days, when the apprentice of the shoe shop went into the shop, they should first worship the legendary shoe maker, sun Bing, and then open the disciples. The apprentice gets up in the morning to clean up the shop first, then he learns to scrape the skin. Scrape the skin and scrape the fat off the skin with the big shovel, then peel it down, then cut the skin. If you want to keep your hands and feet, you must rely on one line, do not use a single line. Face wrinkle is exquisite technology. The finished leather is called "white table". The leather should be smoked with millet straw. In the northeast, the grass is hard, thick and thick after burning. When the dried cowhide is dried with straw, the temperature will be moderate. When you finish pleated and finish your face, you should nail two flat nails on the heel so that you can walk back to the sand and hold the ground firmly.

　　 Guan Dong They are divided into large pleats and small pleats.

Large pleated crepe is produced in the area of URA street. It is usually 8 pleat. The small crepe is produced in the cattle farm of Haicheng, Liaoning. It is usually about 10 folds.

Kanto people love to be like children. As the popular saying goes, when you go outside, your feet are not cold, so you will not get sick easily. In the snow and ice of Kanto region, people naturally choose to fight against the bitter cold, so we say that the most intimate friend of the Kanto people. The flee is fading away.

The soles of the shoes are soft, and they can't walk on the snow in winter. Ding Jiao refers to the ice soil bumps on the heels of shoes. The northern climate is cold. People who work outside the country are most afraid of the "long foot" on the lower side of their shoes, while the "long feet" are long, slippery and unable to grip the road. And they will not play the "Ding foot" and not tired their feet and neck. Because the shoes were stuffed with enough grass, the feet were inside, warm, comfortable, loose, not tired, and not beriberi. It was a treasure that everyone in Northeast China loved.
