Those Shoes That Fade Away Are Civilized.

As a derivative of human civilization, shoe culture is a manifestation of social activities rooted in specific cultural patterns, and has a corresponding phenomenon with social background.

The formation and development of shoes symbolizes the long course of human civilization from barbarism to civilization. It is closely related to dress civilization and human beings.

The change of shoes is not arbitrary and unpredictable. It reflects the characteristics of an era and is a faithful mirror of the times.

In the past more than 100 years, the Chinese society has undergone a great pformation -- the pformation from agricultural civilization to industrial civilization. What's more, it brings with it that the primitive and simple shoes, which are accompanied by thousands of years of feudal ideology, are in the process of natural destruction and loss.

Agricultural civilization is dominated by handmade shoes. Although there are no colorful shoes in modern styles and shapes, the real feelings, family ties, love and friendship between people today are seen as a face up to and opposition to the harsh living environment, the reverence for the vast nature and the misty gods, the care for new life, the blessing and prayers of the elderly, the expectation for a better life, and so on. These are all those gorgeous shoes that are not bloody and icy in the modern golden wall shops.

Therefore, this article selects some representative shoes to collect and sort out the shoes styles that are slowly fading away from people's lives.

1, there are two ways of saying that the release shoes are called "release shoes". First, it was first appeared in 1948, when it was the war of liberation. It was named after the war of liberation. Two, it was one of the long uniform dress of the Chinese people's Liberation Army, that is, "the shoes worn by the soldiers of the PLA."

In the early 1950s, with the start of China's rubber industry, the people's Liberation Army changed from wearing cloth shoes to wearing shoes. The shoe became the main shoe of our army. It lasted for more than 50 years.

Over the past 50 years, it has played an important role in the army's operations, training, production and daily life.

However, in the official name of the Chinese people's Liberation Army, there are no three words of "release shoes". Its official name is "rubber cloth shoes" - rubber bottom, canvas surface, black bottom, yellow band and green surface.

During the Korean War, the volunteers and the silent volunteers ran and ran like a leopard in the jungle.

Apart from being the main force of the army, sports players took part in large competitions and unit sports meetings for a long time. The liberated shoes were the only choice. They became popular synonyms for sports shoes and sports shoes.

It is also convenient for ordinary people to wear everyday.

The release and wear of the shoes are very popular and popular among the folk.

However, because of the use of pure cotton materials to make shoes, shoes and shoes are not strong, soldiers often wear five or six pairs of disposable shoes in one year.

In addition, the release shoes are breathable and have poor moisture permeability. They are easy to breed bacteria and often smell bad smell. Some people even get beriberi because they wear relief shoes.

Therefore, after entering the 1980s, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the shoes have gradually lost their past scenery, but there are still many people wearing them.

In 1990, when the military enterprises that produced the shoes were pferred to local enterprises, they continued to produce shoes for the township and rural residents, because a pair of cheap shoes were still cheap and durable for many "old (District), minority (border), mountain (area), poor (poor)" residents, but sales volume has been less than a year, because all kinds of high-end shoes and casual shoes have gradually occupied the absolute advantage of the market.

In May 2004, the PLA General Logistics Department decided to decommissioning the shoes formally.

Nowadays, few people wear shoes again. Although they can also buy shoes in some rural areas, their texture is far from the same as the old ones.

2. Plastic sandals were born before and after the cultural revolution. Very few people did not wear plastic sandals.

In 1964, on the basis of producing polyethylene plastic soles, Qingdao plastic factory used polyethylene resin as raw material, and manufactured plastic sandals (also known as all plastic shoes) by injection molding, and put it into mass production. The registered trademark is "golden cat" brand.

The products are divided into two series: Men's sandals and sandals. There are large, medium and small sizes. They are immediately welcomed by consumers.

According to the quality of plastic, plastic sandals include hard plastic sandals and soft plastic sandals.

Hard plastic sandals often wear out many blood bubbles on human feet, making people wear "scars" after wearing their feet.

Although the soft plastic sandals do not have such a tragic fate, but because of the fear of high temperature and easier damage, it also makes people uncomfortable.

Modern medical research shows that plastic sandals are made of polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride and other resins, and plasticizers and foaming agents are added to these chemicals. These chemicals have certain irritation to human skin, long-term contact, easily lead to erosive, blister and other symptoms of plastic contact dermatitis.

Moreover, with the increase of temperature, the risk of plastic sandals will also increase. If the general temperature exceeds 35 degrees, it is not appropriate to wear plastic sandals for a long time.

However, even though there are so many shortcomings and shortcomings, because of their low price and diverse styles, especially in rural areas, rural roads are mostly dirt roads. Plastic sandals are strong, wear-resistant and waterproof. They are convenient to work on the ground or visit relatives and friends, and sometimes sparkle under the sunlight. Therefore, plastic sandals are popular in China.

One of the most important reasons for the popularity of plastic sandals is the convenience of repair. The ordinary plastic sandals can be mended if worn out.

Usually, the family uses a kind of iron rod with a slender, flat tip and a wooden handle at the end. When the shoe is repaired, the tip of the iron bar is reddened on the honeycomb briquette stove. Then the tip of the subway rod is rapidly extended to the crack of the plastic sandals. The other hand presses the sides of the crack tightly to the middle, or it is burned by another piece of waste plastic with a burning iron rod, and then bonded. Some even use the steel saw blade to heat the furnace, and then the spare plastic piece can be worn on the bad part.

Today, plastic slippers are hard to see in City stores except for plastic slippers, but in rural markets, plastic sandals also have their own or large or small markets.

3, straw sandals and straw sandals as a historical and cultural heritage are the most popular shoes in China.

It is easy to see the emergence and development of straw sandals in the history of development. No matter what period it is, it has condensed the burning wisdom of our working people in that era.

In a sense, the history of straw sandals is also an inheritance history of the fine traditions of the Chinese nation.

From the primitive social sites of Hemudu Site in Zhejiang Province, it has been over seven thousand years since the Chinese people used the branches and stems of plants to knit their wearable materials as raw materials.

Rumors of straw sandals originated in the Xia Dynasty, and in the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, the kings and nobles were competing to wear them. In history, Chuang-tzu wore his own straw sandals to see King Wei's story.

Later, with its inherent characteristics and connotations, straw sandals created a unique cultural atmosphere, and also built a simple and elegant landscape, which was able to be worn by the royal court and the Manchu village to make it an essential commodity in most people's lives.

Of course, the whole development process of the straw sandals and even its contemporary style is not bright and luxurious. It is just like the cultural category of the Chinese nation, which is dedicated to the spirit of arduous struggle.

For farmers who face their backs to the West and rely on their physical strength and their own blood and sweat, straw shoes have been the most economical and simple for a long time.

Because there are always sharp objects on the ground, easy to get hurt by bare feet. Secondly, walking on the bare feet is also easy to slip. The three is in the autumn and winter seasons. The bare feet are directly exposed to the cold ground. It is more difficult to do so. In addition to going to the paddy fields, it is impossible to wear shoes in dry land, but the cloth shoes are not wearable, and can not afford to wear farm work.

Grass shoes are also a memorable shoe for Chinese people. It is a shining "hero shoe" and "Red Army shoes": it has accompanied the Great Red Army fighters through many difficulties and dangers in the long march. It has gone out of the magic of China's development history and has gone out of the good qualities of the Chinese nation's indomitable and arduous struggle, and has gone out of the hope and future of the Chinese nation.

Grass shoes also have a distinctive feature: all other shoes are new, but straw sandals are old ones.

If you are born with a pair of tender skin and lotus feet, do not wear new straw sandals. You should first invite others to wear the old soft ones. Otherwise, the new straw sandals will grind their feet to the surface of their flesh.

In today's endless shoe styles, straw sandals seem to have been forgotten. But recently, at some tourist spots, many people buy straw sandals as special collections of folk craftwork, which are expensive, and some even sell hundreds of dollars. This may be the unique cultural charm of straw sandals in Chinese hearts.

4, three inch gold lotus, three inch Golden Lotus is a unique shoe shoe in China. Its existence is closely related to the foot binding phenomenon of ancient Chinese women.

Foot binding phenomenon began in the Five Dynasties.

After the Southern Tang Dynasty, the concubines of Li Yu, the wife of the imperial concubine, wrapped their feet with cloth and made them look like crescent shaped, wearing plain stockings, dancing on the lotus table made of gold, dancing like fairies, and Li Yu liked them very much.

This kind of custom first came into being in the palace curtain, then became popular among the folk, and it was widely circulated in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The folk proverb is very vivid: "wrap your feet together and tear your eyes."

Although the name "three inch Golden Lotus" is elegant, it is a girl's blood and tears at the cost of health.

The age of foot binding starts from 4 or 5 years old, takes 3~4 years, and takes shape at 7 or 8 years old.

According to the introduction, at that time, the woman began to scald her feet with hot water when he was a child, while his feet were still warm, bending the four toes out of her toes to the soles of her feet, touching her soles and coating alum on her toes. For a long time, her feet were entangled with a deep concave dent in the middle of her feet, which raised on her instep, and from her ankle to toes formed a steep slope with high rear height, and the deeper the foot seams, the longer the feet were.

The result of foot depressions makes the foot type short.

In the sole of the toes, only the big toes stretched forward one by one, and the other four toes had been crushed under the sole of the feet, arranged side by side, like shells, where the little toe fell into the hollow of the sole of the foot.

It was such a deformed appearance, but was praised as "good foot" at that time.

Although it is hard to make modern people feel "beautiful", but the three inch Golden Lotus shoes are indeed a work of art.

Three inch gold lotus shoes, also known as pointed shoes, arched shoes, as the name suggests, its sole is like a sharp pepper.

Pointed shoes are usually brightly colored, and red, green and blue are common colors. Only older women wear darker colors such as black.

The upper is sewn on the open line. After sewing, circle three circles with the colored velvet line. The work is very elaborate.

Three inch gold lotus shoes are the most beautiful ones on the top of the fine decoration, frill and embroidered patterns.

These decorations are related to prayers for auspiciousness and happiness, such as butterflies flying in pairs, and mandarin ducks playing with water. Their collocation, smoothness of lines, vividness of images and harmony of composition are no matter from which perspective they are exquisite brushwork.

Three inch Golden Lotus has many kinds, and its classification is very fine. According to its different uses, it can be divided into sleeping shoes, shoes, overshoes, wedding shoes, funeral shoes and so on. These are the great creations of the working people.
