A Hundred Years Old Shenyang Games, A Pair Of Shoes, Grandparents, Grandchildren, Three Generations Wear Not Bad.

Small boat like shoes, 65 years ago, the old cheongsam, 50 years ago marriage certificate, a family of 4 martyrs card...... One old thing brings people back to the old Shenyang one hundred years ago.

Yesterday, the Sai Association, which was jointly organised with the national community, collected nearly 100 items and attracted many residents.

The young man asked, "what is this?"

At 9 o'clock yesterday, the national community activity room was crowded and the race meeting started on time. "After more than 1 months of solicitation, nearly 100 pieces. Old articles It's all here. " Community Secretary Qiao Jihong said, "thanks to these old residents, some of them even have their bottom boxes turned out."

In the temporary exhibition hall, classical furniture, jewellery boxes, old cameras and utensils are everywhere. Various kinds of documents, grain and oil tickets are also very attractive. Even the old clothes look very new now.

"What is this thing? It looks like a shoe, but it's too big. Is it the giant?" Li Yue, born in 1989, asked suspiciously. The 84 year old Zhang Lianji, who was the commentator of the community, said, "this is the old URA shoes. The stuffed grass is one of the three treasures of the northeast."

The elderly audience is more exclamation: "look at the marriage certificate, save well, my family moved back and forth lost." Sun Shu Rong, 74, said with regret, "these things haven't been seen for a long time."

To recover a disease URA shoes

Behind every old object is a story. The boat like URA shoes are residents Zhang Quan returned from the remote rural areas of Heilongjiang 10 years ago to cure disease.

At that time, Zhang Quan's child suffered from a disease and repeated treatment did not work. "No, some people recommend a folk prescription. You need to use old cowhide. The older you are, the better." Zhang Quan's relatives remind that northeast China's shoes are made of old cowhide, just like a distant uncle in Heilongjiang's hometown.

"It's only when someone comes to say what he wants to say." Zhang Quan said, later the child's illness improved in the hospital treatment, the shoes were also preserved, "unexpectedly, this has become a treasure."

Expert: these shoes are worn. The three generation Not bad either.

I heard that I could still see cowhide URA, who was the director of the the Imperial Palace Museum of Shenyang and the vice president of the Folk Art Society of Liaoning folk custom Institute. I am glad that "the original name of URA should be". This custom is a precious intangible cultural heritage in Northeast China.

According to the Yun Ting Pavilion, the shoes are usually made of cowhide, and even shoelaces are no exception. The size is so large because it needs to be filled with sedge. "Dry the stems and leaves of the sedge grass, then beat them repeatedly with wooden sticks and then squeeze them into the shoes." Wearing such a wal shoe, it's warm in winter and cool in summer. "That's why there are" three treasures in the northeast, ginseng and mink grass ".

Shoes like this usually pass on from generation to generation, with a pair of shoes worn for decades, but not worn by grandparents or grandchildren for three generations.
