The emperor Wei Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who had a profound influence on the ancient Chinese costume culture, had stipulated in the "reform of service system" that the colors of shoes were "green, green and white". In the Western Jin Dynasty, the merchants of the Western Jin Dynasty stipulated that all the Philistine must wear white shoes and wear black shoes, which are "mandarin duck shoes".
