Giant Handmade Leather Shoes Display In Pingyao, Shanxi

Mention Shanxi

Many people will think of Pingyao beef immediately.

Pingyao beef is one of the cream of Chinese food culture, which is extensive and profound, and has a long history. In ancient Han Dynasty, it had the description of beef processing, such as "selling knife and buying calves, selling cattle for cutting edges and doing well", and Pingyao beef with unique flavor and long reputation has been exported to Asian countries as early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

A famous historical city like beef and cowhide like this is recently seen by a pair.

It's "hot"!

Giant leather shoes

Recently, a pair of giant leather shoes with the largest hand stitching in history has been displayed in the streets of Pingyao, Shanxi, attracting people's attention. The news about these pairs of giant leather shoes is also overwhelming on the Internet.

This huge leather shoe is about 2.33 meters long, 0.68 meters wide, and 0.68 meters high, weighs about 60 kilograms. It is a local leather shoes workshop that lasted for three months, and the skin of 14 cows was consumed inside and outside the shoes.

However, Xiaobian also interviewed a lot of people about the giant leather shoes that attracted people's attention.

Mr. Liu: there is a certain commercial value. It is more effective than advertising on TV.

Wei: it's a bit cruel. Only 14 cowhide can make such a display.

Ms. Jia: I don't think it's necessary at all. It's a waste of resources.

Mr. Chen: No, it's 14 cows. So many cows in Pingyao are not bad. The publicity effect has been achieved.

Yes, this pair of leather shoes is full of people's eyes. At the same time, we have to think about how big the commercial value of the leather shoes made of leather made of 14 cows inside and outside the shoes lasted for three months.

The appearance of these giant leather shoes makes us recall that not long ago, a pair of natural shoes formed by agate were also launched.

In the photo, you can see a natural agate stone with shoe shape. Because of its color and shape, it looks quite like the ancient shoes.

This pparent silk wrapped agate shoe is very rare. No matter from which point of view, it looks like a pair of air cushion shoes. There are many holes in the soles. Such odd shoes are naturally formed by agate stone, which has great collection value, and is pure natural, pollution-free and wasteful.

The 2.3 meter leather shoes are hand-made and cost 14 cowhide.

But Xiaobian thinks that it is a pair of leather shoes, but also a set of handicrafts.

On the one hand, it embodies the high level of leather shoes processing technology in the locals, which contains the rich leather resources and the deep leather culture.

The emergence of these leather shoes is the focal point of the development of the local leather industry. It is also the most effective promotion and publicity for the local leather products, which is even bigger than the millions of advertisements on CCTV. It itself is a huge billboard and has played a good publicity effect.

But on the other hand, in the background of the world's advocacy of reducing and prohibiting the use of animal fur products, to a certain extent, it wastes resources and uses 14 cowhide to make leather shoes, which is not in line with the concept of civilized consumption and the healthy consumption and green advocated by the state.

Contrary to the idea, although local cattle are artificially raised, they are also a life, but in general, the role of these shoes is considered to be greater than that.
