Later, due to more and more materials, styles and uses of shoes, the types of shoes began to be rich. According to different materials, shoes can usually be divided into three types: kudzu, cloth and leather.
Among them, cloth shoes refer to shoes sewn with linen, silk, silk, brocade and other fabrics. Most of them were fork-shaped in Han dynasty, and the bottom was woven with hemp thread, also known as double pointed square shoes; During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was popular to embroider double animal patterns in front of shoes.
When it was abandoned, it became a fashion. It is a shoe with wooden teeth, which consists of flat heels, straps and toothed belts.
Leather shoes and boots made of leather and cotton felt are also called "riding boots" or "high boots". Originally worn by northern nomads, there are dry boots, flower boots, leather boots, felt boots, single boots, cotton boots, cloud boots, goose top boots and so on. According to legend, Sun Bin was the ancestor of boots, which were widely popular in the north and spread to the south of the Yangtze River in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. By the Tang Dynasty, he had been an official in Xian Yi (it was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that people were forbidden to wear boots, and only bureaucrats could wear boots).
Leather shoes were also popular in Song Dynasty. Men wear small leather shoes, while women wear round heads, flat heads or upturned heads, which are decorated with various flower and bird patterns. Women's cloth shoes with high toes and flat bottom began to appear at the end of Yuan Dynasty, which made people look particularly slender.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the production methods and styles of shoes gradually merged and became more sophisticated. In the Ming Dynasty, shoes were mostly thick, with diamond shoes in the north and brown Ma Xie in the south.
During the Qing dynasty, men's shoes were mainly pointed shoes, with satin in summer and autumn and velvet in winter. They are divided into thick soles and thin soles, with single or double beams on the surface and embroidered uppers or curly heads on the toes. Women's shoes in Qing Dynasty are the most distinctive. Most soles are made of wood, and the height varies from one inch to five inches. The shape of the bottom is wide at the top and round at the bottom, which is called "horseshoe bottom", also known as "flowerpot bottom". The vamp is usually made of silk and satin with colorful embroidery on it. Some aristocratic women will also set various gems on the vamp, which is particularly tall and straight. However, due to the inconvenience of walking, elderly women or people with low status often wear wooden flat shoes.
Like all clothes, shoes at some point represent a certain identity that you want to impress others; However, apart from marveling at a pair of rare shoes, what we are most concerned about is whether the shoes fit. Therefore, when you dream about shoes, it often means that at some level of your life, you may have doubts about your suitability. Your dream shoes may also reflect your behavior in real life, especially when you walk around in them. Pay attention to the style and type of shoes in your dream, observe how the relationship between you and shoes is established, how you use them, and how you feel about them; Maybe you can understand why Cinderella's glass shoes are not on your feet.
