Walking into the first Chinese ancient shoe museum in Sixian, facing the colorful shoes, if you don't see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid it's hard for you to believe that these ordinary shoes at our feet contain such profound cultural connotation! < /p >

< p > according to Keqiang, deputy factory director of the former Sixian shoe factory, the first museum of ancient shoes was founded in 1990 by the factory. The museum not only displays over 500 objects and reproductions of ancient shoes and ornaments in more than 50 countries and more than 60 countries in the world, but also more than 4000 pictures of shoes, as well as a valuable exhibition of shoe making tools and shoe adorning culture in the past dynasties, and the time span is more than 4000 years.

< p > "although 10 years ago, the a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_p.asp "> Sixian < /a > shoe factory went bankrupt, but in the 80s and 90s of last century, we produced a lot of famous cloth shoes in Sixian. Even the central leaders such as Wan Li and Bo Yibo passed through. The viscose cloth shoes and health care shoes produced by us were the leading ones all over the country.

Speaking of the origin of the Museum of Chinese ancient shoes, Keqiang told reporters that during the process of shoemaking, director Sun Chengru found that many countries had shoes Museum, and our country was so big that shoes had such a long history that there was no shoe museum. So, the creation of a shoe museum was put on the agenda.

After more than a year's efforts, the first ancient shoe museum in China was finally born in July 1990.

< /p >

< p > in the process of founding the Museum of ancient shoes, Sun Chengru met Luo Chongqi, a Chinese shoe culture researcher. "Luo Chongqi once wrote and published the first" history of Chinese shoes culture ", which filled the gap of Chinese shoe historiography and opened up the research field of Chinese shoe historiography.

In 1986, he traveled tens of thousands of kilometers and completed the self study tour of the history of Chinese and world shoe culture.

The more than 500 photographs of human ancient shoes he photographed and collected are the most complete self-care in the world so far.

In 1989, at the Shanghai shoe culture exposition, Mr. Luo Chongqi suggested that if he founded the Museum of ancient shoes, he would like to dedicate his photographs of the ancient shoes that he had been photographing. So Luo Chongqi's precious photo was invited to Sixian.
