Shoes have a long history. About 5,000 years ago, during Yangshao culture, the most primitive animal leather shoes appeared in China. This kind of shoes is made for the convenience of farming, which is somewhat similar to the slippers now. The word "shoe" appeared in the Book of Changes more than 3,000 years ago, and the word "shoe" in "Dispute first frost" in the Book of Songs is a kind of shoe made of hemp and kudzu.

With the development of the times and the change of society, the family of shoes has become more and more huge, and there are more and more types and styles of shoes. Throughout the history of shoes, it is not difficult to find that sandals, slippers and sandals are "magic weapons" for people to cool off in hot summer.

Youyougu story sandals

Sandals are the oldest kind of shoes made by people. When people first made sandals, there were two main forms: one was woven with palm, papyrus or weeds, and the toes were covered with rings made of plant fibers. The second kind of sandal is to cut a piece from the treated leather, drill holes in it along the edge, and then tie a belt, which can be tightened like a rope to pull the shoes in place. This oldest sandal was found in a grave in the deep valley of the Andes in Pachacamak, Peru.

A picture of an ancient sandal was found in the "Eagle City" temple in Hercules, Egypt, which is also the earliest known example of Egyptian characters. This is a 5000-year-old carved stone tablet, which depicts the daily behavior of the king of Nanwu. Wherever the king went, a servant followed him, holding a pair of the king's gorgeous sandals. These sandals may represent the power of the king of Nanwu.

Later, the Egyptians developed hieroglyphics, and the hieroglyphics of "sandals" appeared in relevant records, which were shaped like an ellipse and had two shoelaces. When King Tutankhamun of Egypt died, there was a pair of exquisite sandals dating back more than 3,000 years. One pair of pointed sandals is made of gold, and the other pair.

One pair is made of papyrus, with leather buckles at the ankles and imaginative Nile landscape patterns.

Look at slippers through history

Most of the original slippers were made of wood, and wooden slippers were also called "clogs", "flip-flops" or "squeaky slippers". Guadaban is generally made of hardwood, and canvas, leather or plastic belts are often used as feet. "Gua Da Ban Er" first prevailed in the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China, and Xie Lingyun reformed it, so it was also called "Xie Qigong". In the Tang Dynasty, there was a poem "Climbing the Green Ladder, Wearing Xie's earliest spiked shoes" that described this kind of clogs. Jia Baoyu, the affectionate son in A Dream of Red Mansions, often wears these wooden slippers.

In 1950s, the first pair of plastic slippers came out in France, which was a revolution in the history of slippers. 1960 plastic slippers made in China. Nowadays, plastic foam has become the main material for making slippers. Foam slippers are cheap, durable and more approachable.

Nowadays, slippers are characterized by coolness, health care, safety and fashion, and there are air-conditioned slippers, bath slippers, beach slippers, health slippers, fashion slippers, bedroom slippers and other categories.

Zhang Faming bought straw sandals.

About the origin of straw sandals, it is said that there was a poor old man named Zhang who lived by chopping wood all the year round. Because I go barefoot up the mountain, my feet often get pricked and bleed. He worked out a way day and night-making shoes out of straw. At first, he wrapped his feet with a pile of straw, but the scattered straw broke easily and it was inconvenient to walk. Later, he twisted the straw into a straw rope the thickness of chopsticks and wrapped it around his feet one by one, which was better, but it took time to wrap it up and take it off. After that, he improved and woven straw into straw sandals with a bottom and a surface.

Since then, straw sandals have shaped a unique cultural atmosphere with their inherent characteristics and connotations, and also established a simple and elegant landscape. From the palace to the game hall, people can "stand on tiptoe to serve" or "walk on the grass to show their enthusiasm", which has become a necessity for most people.

In modern times, nothing is more commendable than "Red Army shoes", which accompanied the Chinese Red Army of workers and peasants through numerous difficulties and obstacles in the Long March, walked out of the excellent quality of perseverance and hard struggle of the Chinese nation, and walked out of the hope and future of the Chinese nation. With the passage of time and social progress, straw sandals have become a necessity of life, but the "spirit of straw sandals" and the unique noble quality of the Chinese nation are exactly what the country needs to develop and grow, and they are also indispensable for the prosperity of the Chinese nation.
