Take Stock Of Shoes That Are Fading Away.

　　 Shoe shoe The change is not entirely 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 transformation -- the transformation 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 modern shoes in the style and shape, they are colorful and brilliant, but the real feelings, family ties, love and friendship between people today are regarded as a kind of confronting and revolting against the harsh living environment, the reverence for the vast nature and the misty gods, the care for new life, the blessing and prayers for the elders, the expectation and expectation for a better life. These are all those shoes that are not bloody and icy in modern gold shop. 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. liberation shoes

There are two ways of saying that the release shoes are called "release shoes": first, because it first appeared in 1948, when it was the war of liberation, it was named; two, it was one of the long uniform dress of the Chinese people's Liberation Army, that is, "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 who had stepped on their shoes and walked quietly, volunteered to infiltrate and attack, like the leopard in the jungle. In addition to being the main force of the military, the sportsmen took part in major competitions and unit sports meetings for a long time, and the liberated shoes were once the only choice. It is also convenient for ordinary people to wear everyday. The release and wear of the shoes are fast and popular, and all kinds of imitation products prevail.

However, because of the use of pure cotton material to make shoes, shoes and shoes are not strong, soldiers often wear five or six pairs of 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 transferred 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 (area), less (minority), border (mountain), mountain (District), poor (poor)" residents, but sales volume has been less than a year, because of the absolute superiority of all kinds of medium and high grade tourist shoes, which have gradually occupied.

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

Few people who were born before and after the Cultural Revolution 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. There are two series of men's sandals and sandals, with large, medium and small specifications. 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 soft plastic sandals do not have such a tragic end, but because of fear of high temperature and relatively easy to damage, it also makes people very uncomfortable wearing. 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.

Another important reason 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, besides plastic slippers, plastic sandals are hard to see in City stores, but in rural fairs, plastic sandals also have their own or large or small markets.

　　 3, straw sandals

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 shoes originated in the Xia Dynasty, to the spring and autumn and the Warring States period, the royal nobility was competing to wear it. In history, Chuang-tzu wore his own straw sandals to see the story of Wei king. 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.
