Did The Maid In Qing Dynasty Really Step On The High "Flower Pot Bottom" Shoes?

Those who like to see the palace play must be dressed on the feet of the harem women.

It is no stranger to see girls walking on high shoes. They can not help but admire their "Kung Fu" at their feet.

The Dong Han version of Lu Ding Ji, which was not long ago, also had many beautiful women wearing flowers and pelvic floor, from the princess to the maid of honor.

Here comes the question. Can the ladies of the Qing Dynasty wear flowers and basins?

The answer is that the ordinary palace maid can't be worn, especially the lower palace girls.

Can you imagine that the laundry girls in the clothing department are washing clothes at the bottom of the flowerpot? So in many Qing opera dramas, whether they are masters or girls, they are not right to wear flower basins.

The famous "Zhu Zhu" is so.

But these dramas are the products of modern society. In order to satisfy the audience's eyeballs, it doesn't matter if the beautiful women in the palace wear flower basins. After all, they will appear to be swaying when they appear on the mirror.

So what is the true state of the shoe in the real history?

In the first year of Shunzhi (1644), the Manchu Dynasty entered the customs and settled in Beijing. The "riding foot" group, which advocated women's "heaven and foot", saw a world full of "women with feet".

In order to consolidate their position, Qing rulers tried hard to promote Manchu hairdressing and costumes, and banned Manchu women's foot binding.

Therefore, in the age of Han women's crazy feet, Manchu women still have the characteristics of their traditional shoes.

However, why do Manchu people wear such shoes? There is a historical story.

DorothyHamm Gan Ju, the father of the Manchu nationality, was killed by a treacherous tribal leader named Haas Gu A, and their Wangcheng Wangcheng city was also taken away.

DorothyHamm Gan Ju was determined to recapture the city and avenge his father.

But akhun city is surrounded by "red eye hover" on three sides, and red rust water is more than three feet deep.

He thought and thought that he was inspired by the long legged white crane. She led all the people and made "artificial wooden crane legs". He passed the red eye hate smoothly, took back akhun City, and also avenged his father.

Since then, Manchurian women have been collecting mushrooms and hazelnuts on the mountain to prevent them from being bitten by poisonous snakes.

Later, the wooden crane legs gradually evolved into a kind of high-class wooden shoes in the living. Some of them were wide and thin in the middle. They looked like horseshoe in the middle. They were called "horseshoe bottom". Some like flowerpots, named "flowerpot bottom", and dragon fish bottom and four flash bottoms were named according to the shape of the design, no matter how varied, their high heels were embedded in the foot center part, which is commonly called "flag shoes".

Initially it was half inch to 1 inches, then gradually increased to about 5 inches.

Most women in Qing palace and aristocratic women wear more than 4 inches. The height of the sole of young people can reach six or seven inches (about 25cm).

The elegant banner with high flag shoes makes women appear to be slender, elegant and graceful.

For the emergence of flag shoes, there is another saying.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, influenced by the Han culture, the wind of bindings continued unabated.

Although Manchu women never foot bindings, according to the general aesthetic standards, big feet are definitely not beautiful.

In order to solve this problem, Manchu women invented this kind of high sole shoes and hid their feet in the clothing group so that they wouldn't show their feet easily.

No matter what kind of statement, after hundreds of years of development, it is becoming more refined and more luxurious. It is already the Qing Dynasty.

One of the symbols that can be handed down is also an art treasure today.
