My wife hand-embroidered the insoles and posted them on WeChat Moments

You can post: No matter how hard the journey is, your feet will always be warm. Wearing the insoles given to me by my wife, I traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers, all the way to the end of the world.

In Chinese folk custom, the embroidery decoration on clothing, shoes and hats is often rich in certain meanings, expressing the beautiful blessings and ideals of relatives. In the past, the insoles were embroidered by the mother-in-law for the newlywed daughter-in-law. The bright red background revealed the joy of the wedding and was also filled with the joy of the mother.

There is an ancient Chinese poem "Mian Mian Gua Lu", which means that the branches and vines of melons are continuous, and the vines (small melons) will also grow and expand accordingly, growing from small to large. "Continuous melons and endless melons" symbolize the endless continuity of descendants for generations. Some of the "continuous melons and vines" patterns have melons and vines with branches and leaves, and some have butterflies interspersed between the melon vines, which are homophonic to "butterfly" and "lu".

The various patterns on the insoles symbolize people's yearning for a better life. The flowers embroidered on the insoles in the picture are shaped like peonies, which means blooming and wealth.

The meaning of giving insoles:

1. Sometimes giving insoles means that I want to walk with you. There is a saying that "love socks, ruthless handkerchiefs, affectionate socks" ", that's the insole.

2. Sometimes it means sending someone off (meaning to separate), or giving insoles means sending someone away or breaking up.

3. Some people say that giving insoles is unlucky, and shoes = evil. Giving insoles means bringing evil.

4. It is also said that giving insoles means walking farther and farther, or it means putting on insoles and following me.

5. The last one means that you want to fly away with others.
