Is The Voice Of Clogs Belonging To China Or Japan?

According to the literature, Chinese people wear Clog The history is at least three thousand years. According to records of the historian, Jin Wen Gong, one of the five princes of the spring and Autumn period, had discovered clogs four thousand years ago. However, in today's world, the most people who wear clogs are Japanese. In traditional Japanese festivals, the Japanese wear traditional kimono during wedding ceremonies and ceremonies, while clogs play a vital role in the kimono.

Accustomed to seeing Japan Most people will think that this is a traditional Japanese dress. However, following the sound of clogs, back to the distant past, people will be surprised to find that the clogs in Japanese clothing were brought back to Japan by Japanese students who came to China in the Tang Dynasty and continue to this day. According to historical records, during the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, the heavy ears of Jin Gong went abroad in order to escape persecution and were tired and hungry on the way to exile. Near desperation, he pushed a piece of meat from his thigh and cooked a bowl of broth to drink the heavy ear. After a bowl of broth, heavy ears gradually regained their spirits. When the meat was found to be cut off by himself, he was moved to tears. Nineteen years later, Jin Wen Gong returned to the country, from the dead, and Jie Zi did not speak Lu, so he took his mother to live in Mian mountain. When Wen Gong heard about it, he sent his men to search for Mian mountain, and he could not get it. He ordered three sides to raise the fire to push down the mountain by mesons. However, the fire failed to shake the heart of the son. After the fire, it was discovered that Jie Zi and his mother had been burned to death under a big tree. Jin Wen Gong looked at him and cried. He ordered the rest of the remaining wood to be split into boards to make wooden shoes and wear them on his feet. Let the sound of rattle clogs remind themselves not to repeat the same mistakes. The sound of clogs encourages the heavy ears to make their best efforts, and finally makes Jin become one of the five heroes in the spring and Autumn period. The sound of clogs is accompanied by the sigh of "heavy sorrow" and "full feet", accompanied by cold food and smoking, along with the tomb sweeping tomb and the custom of planting trees in Qingming county.

Perhaps it is a coincidence of history. Maybe it is a lesson learnt by the descendants of Jin Wen Gong's heavy ears and foot clogs "Zhi Zhi Wu Guo". Anyway, after a few years, the battle of Jiexiu that decided the fate of Tang Dynasty was carried out at the foot of Mian mountain. Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang battled with the tens of thousands of Turkish troops and Li Shimin, the son of Taiyuan. Li Shimin is strong in the wall, he chooses the warplanes carefully, wins the majority by defeating the weak, wins the strong. Li Shimin has another great achievement in this service, that is to say that he is a good scholar, and has collected a famous Weichi Gong, who is the king of cutting stock. However, in the later Lingyun cabinet vassal, Li Shimin was not as forgetful as Jin Wen Gong. First of all, he rewarded the loyal and upright scholar.

The Japanese custom of wearing clogs is directly influenced by Jin Wen Gong. There is no conclusive evidence yet, but one thing is for sure. Two thousand and six hundred years ago, the heavy ear was the first person clogging clogs in Chinese history books, and clogs were spread from China to Japan in the Tang Dynasty. According to relevant data, the history of China's birds and the Nara era, that is, China's Sui and Tang Dynasties, China's culture has great influence on Japan. Wu Yue's wide sleeved and overfolded gown has become the formal dress of Japanese upper class and the formal uniform of the court. Although the pattern of kimono has changed many times, its basic elements have never been divorced from the custom of Wu costume.

What is the historical origin of the Japanese clogs and Mian mountains in Shanxi, and Mr. Ikegami Masaharu, who led the delegation of Japanese friendly people to visit China, studied this question with great interest. In 2001, Mr. Ikegami Masaharu came to Mian Shan for the second time, and handed over some materials he collected to Japan about the Japanese clogs. Some of them took pictures of an old Japanese clogs workshop. The words on the shop signs were "Shanxi stores". Maybe this is not just a coincidence.
