What Kind Of Sandals Do Ancient People Like To Wear?

　　 Chinese When did they wear sandals? At present, no specific time can be verified, but the earliest sandals should be straw sandals. Tang Wangrui's "Grilled millet miscellaneus" said: "Xia Yin is all grass," Zuo Shi Fei Fei. It can be seen that during the ancient Xia Dynasty, Chinese people began to wear straw sandals. The "shoes" and "Philippine shoes" are all straw sandals. The difference between them is that the materials and methods of production are different. Most of these straw sandals are summer sandals.

Straw sandals had been popularized in the Qin and Han Dynasties, but there was no such thing as "straw sandals" before the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Yuan Tao, a master of the book, said, "the beginning of the matter, shoes," said: "the ancients used grass as their skin, and their skin as their shoes. Obviously, the history of "shoes" is not long ago. In the early days, shoes were usually referred to as "shallow shoes".

In addition to the names of "Jiao" and "Fei Li", straw sandals are also called "Qi" and "Jiao". Among them, "Qian" is the popular name for the grass shoes in the early Qin Dynasty. The materials for making straw sandals usually include Ge, Ma, Pu grass, mango grass, straw, rattan, Kuai and so on. Advanced silk, animal tendons and skins are called "silk shoes" and "Pi Pi". Ge Ge made of Ge, namely grass sandals, was especially popular during the pre Qin period. In Book of Songs Wei Feng, there is a poem called "Ge Ge", which is called "Jie Ge Ge," can be "frost", which means that the belt of straw sandals can be tied up, and can be winter shoes and frost.

　　 Ancient The exquisite straw sandals will also be painted with anti-corrosive, durable and beautiful colors. This kind of shoes called "lacquer shoes" have been unearthed in the tombs of the spring and Autumn period.

Some people mistakenly believe that straw sandals are worn by the lower social strata, but in fact, they are not. Early in the pre Qin period, both men and women wore straw sandals.

Straw sandals are "standard" for Royal summer shoes, and Zhou Wang wears straw sandals. Zhou Chao has specialized agencies and professionals to make straw sandals for King Zhou and queen. These people are called "Ren people". They are "formal workers" who are compiled. There are 16 officials and apprentices. According to "Zhou Ren" in the Zhou Li temple, it is recorded that the duties of a man are "palm king" and "after" service. They are red, black, red, yellow, yellow, green, and Ge Ju.

Red, black, red, yellow, green, vegetarian, and Ge are all "special shoes" of different colors and styles, worn on different occasions and seasons. Among them, "Ge Lou" is the summer sandals worn by the kings and queens in the summer, and in winter they wear the "Pi Pi" made from animal skins.

In ancient times, people of different identities were also fastidious about what sandals they wear in summer. They emphasized the collocation of sandals and clothing colors and styles: wearing knitted shoes in summer, wearing black shoes if the clothes were black, and wearing white shoes with white pleated white silk clothing. This is what is said in the rites of the rites of etiquette.

　　 Wei-Jin period Later, it was fashionable to make yellow grass heart shoes made of yellow grass and became the favorite of noble women. In the miscellaneous records of grilled millet, the imperial concubines in the West Jin Dynasty are all written in the Western Jin Dynasty. Of course, the work of this straw sandal is not the same. It is quite beautiful. There are also some kinds of high-grade Paramecium decorated with pigeon and Phoenix, such as the high head of the pamper made by pears in the Tang Dynasty. It was too extravagant that Tang Wenzong and Li Angceng ordered "no clothes".

Because of its wide range of materials, low cost and environmental protection, sandals have been worn in modern times. It is worth mentioning that the Japanese, influenced by ancient Chinese culture, used to like straw sandals.

In ancient times, although clog was worn in summer, it was not limited to the function of sandals. The more accurate expression is that clog is a multi-functional sandal, and ancient people wear clogs on rainy days. The oldest clogs paintings are seen in the snow and plum view, painted by people in the Southern Song Dynasty. In spring, some people wear clog. Ye Shaoweng, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, wore a clog and left a famous poem when he was in the bloom of apricot blossoms. Spring is not enough for a garden.

How did the ancients think of making shoes with wood? It is said that it was invented by Jin Wen Gong, and it was related to the birth of the traditional cold food festival. In Chuang-tzu's miscellaneous article, he said: "Jie Zi pushes himself to loyalty, and he cuts his own stock to eat Wen Gong. When Wen Gong was back, he pushed his anger away and burned himself to death.

After the death of emperor Zhong Jie was burned, Jin Wen Gong was deeply grieved. He made material from his dead tree and made it into a cask as a souvenir. Every year he goes to the festival of sacrifice (cold food festival), to salute the clog. This legend can not be verified, but clogs appeared in the pre Qin period.

The appearance of clogs gave the ancients a choice of summer sandals. The practice of ancient and modern clogs is similar and relatively simple. They are punching holes on the wooden floor and weaving holes through the rope. But ancient wooden clogs have many squares, and the left and right feet are not divided. There are two kinds of so-called "tooth clogs" with and without wooden teeth.

Clog is a common sandal for men and women in summer. It has reached a climax in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the Tang Dynasty. Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty poet, refers to a girl (or a young woman) who is washing clothes by the river. He wears a pair of wooden clogs: "jade noodles", "green and red" makeup. A pair of gold toothed clogs, two feet white as frost. Seen from Li Bai's own eyes, the clogs of girls in the Tang Dynasty were quite fastidious in summer, and they were painted with bright gold, rather than revealing the true colors of logs. This kind of women's sandals naturally set off "white as frost" feet, and no wonder that poets would grow in Poetry.

Li Bai likes to enjoy the beautiful scenery of beautiful women. When he came to Sheng Zhou (today's Nanjing), passing the "childhood sweetheart, two little guess" story, where Wu Guo was occupied by the Vietnamese Empire, he saw that the girls in Nanjing were beautiful and dressed. The sandals on their feet were a pair of clogs, even without socks. This is what Li Bai described in her poem "Yue Nu Ci": "long dry Wu children, eyebrows and colourful Crescent". The feet are covered with frost and no head of socks.

In the song and Yuan Dynasties, because of the popularity of foot binding, men advocated "three inch Golden Lotus", and women could no longer wear clogging in summer. By the time of Ming and Qing Dynasties, the "rain shoes" function of clogs was replaced by oil boots and leather shoes.

As a kind of sandals, clogs are not only made of wood, but also in the south where bamboo is produced. Bamboo is also called bamboo clogs. Bamboo clogs have better cooling effect and comfort.

In ancient times, a "shoe" was also popular in summer. The so-called "shoes", the ancients also called "shoes", the Tang Dynasty known as "Zi Zi", in fact, is modern shoes on foot.

In ancient times, shoes made of shoes were rich in materials, and leather, grass, wood and silk fabrics could be used to make slippers. There is a slipper called "grass clogs". The upper is weaved with grass and the sole is made of wood. A pair of slippers made of brown woven upper shoe is called "Brown clogs"; the slippers made of silk and silk are more advanced, called "Silk clogs", of course, they are not limited to summer wear.

The ancients also designed clogs as slippers with specific slippers function, no teeth and no teeth. This simple wooden slippers were commonly seen in the Ming Dynasty. Ming Xie Zhao Zhao, "the five miscellaneous group and the Ministry of matter four," said: "now I am in Fujian, Xinghua, Zhangquan and spring three counties. When they are used as a crock, their feet are washed away. Women's cages are painted in color, and they serve as faucets, all day in the house. " The clogs here are dragging.

In the Qing Dynasty, the cool slippers were called "scattered clogs", which were similar to the "dragging and clogs" of the Ming Dynasty, but they were not limited to wood, but also made of animal skins. "Loose clogs" are named for loose feet (bare feet without socks), especially for Southern women. Qing Li Yuan Yuan's notes on "Nanyue notes", six, "duer in Guangdong Province," is called "Cantonese Maiden" has many red leather clogs, and scholar bureaucrats are all still caged. When bathing and enjoying cool weather, it will be scattered and filled.

The "clogs" produced in Chaozhou are the most elegant, top grade, leather making materials, and some of them are "fragrant and pliable" holding wood. In addition to holding wood, yellow mulberry and Melia are also good materials for making loose clogs.

Using leather to make slippers is not the original creation of the "tide cages" in the Qing Dynasty. "Leather cages" is especially popular among women in Yangzhou brothel in the Tang Dynasty. In the poem "ridicule prostitute" written by Cui ya, a poet of the Tang Dynasty in Yangzhou, there is a phrase "a pair of leather cages,"

In the past, the identity of a person can be distinguished from the loose clogs worn in summer. In the Qing Dynasty, girls in Xinhui District in Guangdong liked the red Zhu Qiji, while the flowers embroidered clogs embroidered with flowers in the Dongguan area. In those days, the small fans in Guangzhou also liked to wear casual cages and long skirts. Their dress today seems to be like 1980s's weird clothes.
