Whenever it rains, there will be a lot of bells and whistles on the streetThere were even double one-piece raincoats and double umbrellas.
And most of the shoes now are waterproof and non-slip, and now everything is asphalt roadSo it's rare for people to go out with special rain boots.
But it is also impossible to avoid the demand for rain boots under special circumstances or special types of workAnd most of the current rain boots are "rubber cylinders", which are quite waterproof.
So what kind of shoes did the ancients wear to go out on a rainy day?We all know that they have "cloths" when they travelBut what kind of shoes will they wear?After all, no matter what, you can't hit barefoot.
It seems that when watching TV dramas, no one pays attention to the shoes they wearAttentive netizens will also find that they are dressed no different from usual.
In fact, because of the "muddy" road conditions in ancient times, they are generally not willing to wear their baby shoes to go outNot only will it stain your shoes, but it will be particularly easy to break them.
Most importantly, we have to believe in the wisdom of our ancestorsThey also played a new trick with the rain boots!
Referring to the rain boots worn by the ancients,Then the clogs must be one of the items that must be mentioned.
But often when it comes to clogs, everyone seems to be able to hear that clattering sound in their headsThat is resentment that belongs in the blood of the Chinese.
Too many film and television dramas tell us that the Japanese love "clogs" the mostEspecially in war dramas, when I hear the sound of clogs colliding with the floor, I hate itchy.
However, clogs did originate in our ancient Chinese periodIt can be traced back to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
And the earliest clogs found in China can be traced back to the late Neolithic periodIt is 5,000 years old.
In the primitive period, people used animal skins or straw ropes to weaveAs long as you can protect your feet and avoid major scratches.
At that time, people did not have the leisure to study what shoes to use on rainy days.
Slowly to the slave society, the concept of respect and inferiority between people became stronger and stronger, according to historical recordsDuring a certain period of the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, slaves were deprived of the right to wear straw sandals.
Later, when productivity slowly came up, the obsolete straw sandals were finally put on the feet of slavesSome farmers find ways to entangle their feet to avoid injury.
As we all know, Liu Bei makes a living by selling straw sandalsBut some people can't even afford straw sandals, so they simply make their own at home.
Later, as everyone's requirements for quality of life became higher and higher, some people also wore cloth shoesBut everyone hates rainy days.
Not only will he get his shoes wet, but the muddy wet soil will also damage his shoes, and a pair of shoes is still very valuableSo everyone invented the earliest rain boots in history - spikes.
Now it is said that spikes are special shoes for sports students, and ordinary people generally do not wear such shoesEven our rain rubber shoes don't have nails.
But the spikes of the Tang Dezong period were actually a kind of rain bootsIt has several major benefits, wear-resistant, waterproof, and non-slip.
Everyone should know that the oil-paper umbrella used to protect from the rain in ancient times will be coated with a layer of waterproof sycamore oilThey did the same and painted their shoes with this kind of stuff.
This kind of shoes is very favored by the ministers, after all, they have to go to the morning court every dayIf it's a bad day, it's not worth it to fall.
Whenever it rains, they go in shoes like thisBut this time it touched the emperor's mold.
Because there are nails under the shoes, it is non-slip, but it is quite noisyOne or two are okay, and when the civil and military officials get together, it will be destroyed.
Zhu Yuanzhang was annoyed when he listened to the chatter below, and he had to endure their voicesThe minister also has eyes, and they are wrapped in a cloth under the nails.
Before that, everyone would wear "clogs" on rainy daysAnd these shoes were not created for rainy days.
Jin Wengong was in order to force the heroes out of the mountainBut I didn't expect that Jiezhi Tui Ning would not come out if he was burned to death, what kind of sin do you say this has been created?
The heroes were burned to death, and Jin Wengong could only use the trees in the mountains to make clogs for the civil and military officialsThen let them wear it every year on the death day to pray for others.
People found this kind of clogs made of trees very convenientIn particular, it is very difficult to walk on mountain roads, so this kind of shoes has been circulated among the people.
And everyone also played their talents,Add "teeth" to the bottom of the flat-bottomed clogs to increase the height and prevent slipping.
This kind of shoes became a common thing for everyone to wear, and when a woman got married,It is a great honor for the mother's family to prepare a pair of colorful clogs.
Or in the Tang Dynasty, I was prosperous, and all countries worshipped, and Japan was one of themThey learned clogs, and now they look at the traditional Japanese costumes and my Tang Dynasty heritage.
But in fact, by the time of the Tang Dynasty, clogs were no longer the shoes that everyone usually woreBecause everyone has a better choice, no longer obsessed with bulky clogs.
In the Song Dynasty, everyone used clogs as shoes to wear on rainy daysBecause he's so suitable on a rainy day.
First, it is not easy to break, and even if it is broken, it is very easy to repairSecond, his price is very low, and thirdly, its elevation saves people from getting stuck in the mud.
And people gradually stopped wearing clogs as a normal shoeInstead, use it as a protective cover for your shoes.
Wear your normal shoes and put your feet under the clogsThis is not a foot beating, but also comfortable, mainly because it is also convenient for women in ancient times to show their feet.
And the spikes that appeared during the Zhu Yuanzhang period are actually an upgraded version of clogs, to put it bluntly.
There is also a kind of rain boots that quietly enter people's field of visionAnd there is also a momentum to replace clogs, that is, oil shoes.
The oil shoe itself was born very earlyHowever, because its production cost is higher than that of clogs, it is not popular among the common people.
He usually made the appearance of shoes out of silk and then repeatedly applied tung oilPlaying the role of waterproofing, this kind of shoes was also very valuable at the time.
There are also two ways to wear these shoesOne can be put on directly with your own shoes,You can also wear socks as normal shoes.
After that, it slowly came to the 60s of the last centuryPeople knit shoes in the same way, but with different materials.
Farmers would choose the cheapest straw to weave a shell and then coat it with tung oilSuch shoes are low, and most importantly, you can make them yourself.
Now some people still have clogs at home, because in the middle of the last century, the fabric used on the clogs made by everyone was relatively strongSome of the cowhide ones are even stronger, so they are put to the present.
Now it seems that both clogs and oil shoes are very bulkyBut it's also the best invention they can make under that condition!
Nowadays, some items are gradually getting rid of specialization, which also represents the progress of our society and the progress of science and technologyCertain essential items are becoming more and more functional.
