When did shoes originate? Who invented it? There is no way to verify it now, but history shows that our country is not only an ancient civilization of clothing, but also an ancient civilization of manufacturing shoes. About five thousand years ago in the Paleolithic Age, when primitive people used bone needles to sew animal skin clothes, they also sewed animal skin shoes to protect their feet and seek shelter. Shoes are the collective name for shoes, boots, shoes, and clogs. In ancient times, they were called Tao (sound couch), Qi (sound pronunciation Sa), or shoes. They were also called Lu (妦), 屩, clog, or tan (low pronunciation). Shoes and shoes are the same thing, but they have different names depending on the era of wearing them. Before the Han Dynasty, they were called shoes, and they were mostly single-soled shoes made of hemp, kudzu, etc., such as "Shi Wei Feng Ge Wei" compiled in the Spring and Autumn Period. Contains: "Trouble and Ge Ge". In the later Han Dynasty, they were called shoes, which were made of hemp and silk. Straw sandals. According to "Shi Ming·Shi Clothes" written by Liu Xi of the Eastern Han Dynasty: "婱, straw shoes are also... worn when traveling. The 婩婩 is light, so it is named after it." Clogs are also a type of shoes, usually referring to wooden soles, or with Teeth or without teeth; also made of grass or silk. "Shi Ming? Shi Yi" records: "Silk clogs are made of silk, just like wearing a clog. If it is not called a silk clog, the clog cannot be trampled on the mud, but the clog can be trampled on the mud. This can also be rolled on the mud, so It's called clogs. "According to the "Song Book·Xie Lingyun Biography", "Lingyun always wears wooden clogs. When going up the mountain, the front teeth are removed, and when going down the mountain, the back teeth are removed." In ancient times, "Die" refers to shoes made of animal skin. , high boots. "Boots" refer to long boots that are high above the ankle bone. They gradually became popular with the introduction of Hu clothing. They only appeared in large numbers in the Han Dynasty and became popular in the Tang Dynasty. "Book of Jin? Biography of Liu Zhao": "I heard someone wearing boots riding a donkey to the outside of Zhaomen." The characteristics of boots are strong thermal insulation, walking in mud and swamps, and easy to ride horses. "鞜" also refers to shoes made of animal skin. According to the "Book of Han·Yangxiong Biography": "The clothes are frugal, the silk clothes are not worn out, and the leather is not worn." "靸" refers to slippers.

Nowadays, it is called Qie Zhi." Famous shoes. The three dynasties were all made of leather. In the second year of the First Emperor's reign, they were made of Pu. From the Jin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, they were made of grass. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, they were made of silk. According to "Mei Shoes" in Volume 18 of "Zhuo Geng Lu" written by Tao Zongyi: "People in western Zhejiang use grass as shoes without heels, and they are called "Mei Shoes." At this time, it has been proposed that slippers are also a kind of shoes. According to research, people began to wear straw sandals as early as the Xia Dynasty four thousand years ago. The word "lu" has been recorded in the "Book of Changes" three thousand years ago, and it is clear that shoes are shoes. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the famous poet Xie Lingyun invented "Xie Gong's clogs". The soles of the clogs have teeth. The front teeth are used when going up the mountain and the back teeth are used when going down the mountain. They are ideal hiking shoes. For this reason, Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a famous poem in "Dream Wandering Tianmu's Song of Farewell", "Wearing Xie Gong's clogs on our feet, we climbed the Qingyun Staircase. We can see the sea and the sun on half of the wall, and we can smell the chickens in the air.", which vividly describes The poet climbed to the towering Tianmu Mountain and enjoyed the splendor of the "fairy world".

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there is a legend about a woman who made cloth shoes with incense cushions inside and hemp ropes on the soles to form a lotus pattern. This kind of shoes will leave beautiful lotus patterns on the soil. People at that time called these shoes "lotus shoes born step by step". In the Tang Dynasty, some people invented long-distance shoes suitable for walking. It is said that the great poet Li Bai loved to wear this kind of shoes. Since then, many literati and poets have imitated them. Their appearance preceded the travel shoes that are now popular around the world by more than a thousand years. According to legend, in the ancient land of Qilu, a kind of shoes with cowhide coverings on the surface was also popular. It was called "kicking the cow to death" and was comparable to the high-quality modern football shoes.

As for clogs, they are generally made of wood. According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Duke Wen of Jin went into exile abroad for 19 years. After becoming the king, he was awarded the title of entourage. Among them was a minister named Jie Zitui. He did not want to accept the reward from Duke Wen of Jin, so he lived in seclusion in the mountains and refused to serve. In anger, Duke Wen of Jin threatened to burn the mountain, but Jie Zitui hugged a tree and burned it to death.

Afterwards, Duke Wen of Jin felt very sad and made wooden clogs from this tree as a memorial. Therefore, wooden clogs became widely circulated among the people. According to research, people in ancient times wore clogs, firstly, to keep cool and to make walking tough; secondly, to prevent moisture. Especially in the humid and rainy south, clogs were often worn as rain boots. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, ladies and children mostly wore red clogs, while men wore black clogs, which became casual shoes in daily life. Even when a girl gets married, she has to wear painted clogs as dowry.

In ancient times, shoes, boots, and clogs were clearly distinguished. In particular, there were strict regulations on when to wear boots and when to wear shoes or clogs. In the history of our country, there are many legends about shoes, such as "The people of Zheng buy shoes" ("Han Feizi·Wai Chu Shuo" above left): "The people of Zheng who have shoes and put them on, first hold their feet and sit on them, and then go to the three cities But when he forgot to do it, he said, "I forgot to keep it." He went back to get it, and when he returned to the market, he couldn't do it. The man said, "Why not give it a try?" "It means you have no self-confidence."), "Cut the feet to fit the shoes" ("Zhun Nanzi·Shuo Lin Xun": "The husband harms what he raises, for example, if he cuts the feet to fit the shoes, he will cut off the head to wear the crown."), " "Kou Zhun carries boots on his back" and "wears small shoes" are all well-known allusions and legends. These philosophical allusions and legends bring many enlightenments and warnings to people. It can be seen that shoes are not only a running aid on the human journey, but also the crystallization of human wisdom
