With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, when people meet their basic living needs, they will begin to pursue a higher quality of life.
This is true in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
And shoes, as one of the necessities of people's daily life, will naturally have some different requirements with different living standards.
Heat preservation, non-slip, and foot protection are people's basic needs for shoes, and on the basis of meeting these basic needs, people have a certain pursuit of the shape, style and even brand of shoes.
The replacement of shoes is also gradually accelerating. There are some shoes, even if they are intact, but because of the style, they are eliminated by the owner and left aside.
So what to do with these idle "old shoes"? Our ancestors gave a hint, as the saying goes, "If you throw away old shoes, you will not be able to throw them away." ”
What does this seemingly "prophetic" colloquial phrase mean? What kind of mystery is hidden inside?
First of all, shoes should not be thrown in public areas.
Some people throw away old shoes because they look at them as an eyesore, or even throw them in public areas, which is not only an immoral performance, but also causes a lot of inconvenience to others.
As we all know, public areas come and go every day, and if you throw old shoes in this area, it will undoubtedly affect the beauty and cleanliness of the whole area, and destroy the image of a street, park or even the whole city.
Moreover, whether in the city or in the countryside, there is not only human survival, but also the survival of many animals and pets.
If old shoes are thrown into the public area, it will also have a huge impact on their lives, and in serious cases, even under certain conditions, it will endanger their lives.
In addition to not being thrown in public areas, it cannot be thrown in the river.
Water is one of the necessary conditions for the survival of living beings, not only human beings need to drink, but everything in the world is inseparable from the supply of water. And in the rivers, lakes and seas, there are many fish.
If the old shoes are thrown into the water, it will cause damage to nature, which will not only affect the water safety of human beings, but also have a huge impact on the fish living in the river.
In particular, many of today's shoes are made with chemicals that can affect fish if they are ingested.
Through the continuous promotion of the food chain, there is a high probability that it will eventually affect the lives of human beings.
Since you can't throw it in a public area or in a river, it's always okay to throw it at home, right? In fact, this is also a wrong practice.
Many people have the habit of thrift, which is a good thing, but it is important to note that not all "thrift" is promoted.
If you've been storing old shoes for a long time, there's a high chance they'll get bacteria, breakage or mold.
Especially if stored in a dark and humid environment, the shoes will be more likely to be damaged by bacteria, and may also become a nest for insects, which will have a great impact on the cleanliness of the home.
Therefore, if you are reluctant to throw away old shoes, do not throw them at home, you can consider using a special bag to pack the shoes.
And you can put some insect control things in it properly, and then store it in the shoe cabinet.
This can not only have a certain protective effect on the shoes, but also prolong the storage period of the shoes.
In addition to not throwing shoes at home, you can't throw shoes at home.
Many people have the habit of placing their shoes at the door so that they can be worn when they go out.
However, if it is an old shoe, then it means that it will not be worn often, and if it is thrown at the door for a long time, it will obviously affect the beauty of the home.
If a guest comes to the door, it will have a bad impression of the owner of the house.
In addition, we often say, "Wear new shoes, don't go the old way." "In some ways, throwing old shoes at the door for a long time can also have a bad effect on the occupants.
After all, every time you go out, you see a pair of old shoes, which will still affect your mood.
Therefore, if you choose to keep your shoes at home, you should also store them in the shoe closet.
The last thing you can't throw away is the shoes in question.
There is a high probability that some old shoes will contain bacteria or some fungal viruses that can be infected.
If such shoes are thrown away at will and picked up by others and used again, it is very likely to infect the virus and bring harm to the person who picks it up. So we should definitely check before throwing our shoes.
Since there are so many things to pay attention to when throwing away old shoes, what should you do with old and unwanted shoes?
First of all, we need to make sure that the shoes are in good condition and that they can continue to be used.
If there is nothing wrong with the shoes themselves, but they want to discard them because of the owner's personal reasons, then they can be packed and put into the old goods ** station. For secondary use to those in need.
This not only solves the owner's troubles, but also provides help to others, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone.
Secondly, if there is a problem with the shoe itself that will affect its use, then you can put it in the sorted bin.
Most of the materials of shoes are leather, rubber, canvas, etc., which are all suitable materials.
Put the old shoes that are no longer used into the garbage bin, and then have a professional to use them, so that the old shoes can be "turned into treasure".
It is also a good thing to help our lives again, and it will also save social resources.
Of course, there are other ways besides these two methods, and it will be up to you.
The proverb is a philosophy that our ancestors summarized and warned future generations based on their own life experience, what they saw and heard.
Although it seems to be concise and to the point, the wisdom contained in it is very rich.
Moreover, the proverb contains all aspects of our life, from clothing, food, housing and transportation to how to behave in the world, which can give guidance to future generations
However, to this day, some people have a deep misunderstanding of colloquialisms, and even think that colloquialisms are just a superstition. Even old-fashioned and outdated remarks do not conform to the thinking and lifestyle of modern people.
However, as long as you thoroughly comprehend the connotation, you will find that the content of these sayings is not only profound, but also very practical.
No matter how the times change, these truths will still serve as a warning for future generations.
