According to documents, people in China have worn clogs for at least 3000 years. According to Records of Historical Records, Jin Wengong, one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period, once found clogs more than 4,000 years ago. However, in today's world, Japanese people wear clogs the most. In traditional Japanese festivals, weddings, festivals and other ceremonies, Japanese people will wear traditional kimonos, and clogs play a vital role in the whole set of kimonos. Accustomed to the Japanese wearing clogs, most people will think that it is a traditional Japanese costume. However, following the sound of clogs, people will be surprised to find that clogs in Japanese costumes were brought back to Japan by Japanese students who came to China in the Tang Dynasty and have been handed down to this day. According to historical records, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhong Er, the son of the Jin Dynasty, went into exile to escape persecution. Tired and hungry during his exile, he sent his entourage to look for food. Just when he was almost desperate, meson tui, who escaped with Zhong Er, cut a piece of meat from his thigh and cooked a bowl of broth for childe Zhong Er to drink. After drinking a bowl of broth, Zhong Er gradually recovered his spirits. Zhong Er was moved to tears when he found that the meat he ate was actually cut from himself by mesons. 19 years later, Jin Wengong returned to China to enjoy his death. Without saying anything, meson pushed him to live in seclusion in Mianshan with his mother. When Wen Gong learned of this, he ordered people to search Mianshan, but he couldn't find it. So he ordered three torches to push mesons down the mountain. However, the fire failed to shake the seclusion of meson tui. After the fire, it was found that Jiezitui and his old mother had been burned to death under a big tree. Jin Wengong cried. Ordered people to cut the wood left by the burning into boards and make wooden shoes to wear on their feet. Let the click of clogs always remind yourself not to make the same mistake. The sound of clogs inspired people to work hard and finally made Jin one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period. The sound of clogs, accompanied by the sigh of "sad, just one step away", accompanied by the prohibition of cold food, accompanied by Tomb-Sweeping Day's grave sweeping, and accompanied by the custom of planting trees in Tomb-Sweeping Day, spread all over China.
Perhaps it was a historical coincidence, or maybe later generations accepted the lessons of Jin Wengong and Zhong Er's clogs. In short, a few years later, the Jiexiu campaign that decided the fate of the Tang Dynasty was held at the foot of Mianshan Mountain. Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, with tens of thousands of Turkish soldiers, fought a decisive battle with Li Shimin, the son of Taiyuan. Li Shimin has a strong wall and sharp edges, so we should be careful in choosing fighter planes, with fewer fighting forces and weak fighting forces. There is a bigger gain in this campaign in Li Shimin, that is, Corporal Li Xian received a great soldier named Weichi Gong. However, among the later Lingyun Pavilion banners, Li Shimin was not as forgetful as Jin Wengong, and rewarded the loyal and righteous celebrities first, which became an eternal story.
There is no conclusive evidence as to whether the Japanese custom of wearing clogs was directly influenced by Jin Wengong, but one thing is certain: Zhong Er was the first person to wear clogs recorded in China history books 2,600 years ago, and clogs were introduced to Japan from China in the Tang Dynasty. According to relevant data, in the period of Bird Collection and Nara in Japanese history, that is, the Sui and Tang Dynasties in China, China's culture had a great influence on Japan, and Wuyue's wide-sleeved lapels became the formal attire of the upper class and the imperial court in Japan. Although the style of kimono has changed many times in its development history, its basic elements have never deviated from the pattern of five clothes. /view/80526.htm
Clogs originated in China.
Clogs, according to "Ci Yuan" records, wooden shoes with teeth on the front and back have boat-shaped uppers and higher wooden teeth. It is said that clogs began in Jin Wengong. According to legend, Jin aristocratic Jiezitui, after his mother lived in seclusion in Mianshan, took people to find him, but he was nowhere to be seen. Some people suggest that meson tui is a dutiful son. If Yamakaji is released, he will definitely take his mother out of the mountain. Duke Wen followed. Who knows that after burning the mountain, the mother and son did not come out of the mountain, but died holding the tree. When Jin Wengong saw this scene, he was very sympathetic, so he built a shrine in Mianshan to commemorate Jiezitui. He also ordered the craftsmen to dig out the roots and make a pair of clogs, which were worn on their feet from time to time, calling them "the first step" to show their respect.
It is said that Beauty Stone in the Spring and Autumn Period liked to wear clogs when she was young. After Gou Jian, the King of Yue, dedicated the waiter to Fu Cha, the king of Wu, in order to please the waiter, he made all the ladies-in-waiting walk in the empty corridor wearing clogs. The clogs made a rhythmic sound on the veranda, and Shi was very happy. At that time, people called it "cloister board".
"Feet on Xie, climb the green ladder", this is the poem of Li Bai who sleepwalks in heaven and dreams of parting. The special clogs worn by Xie Lingyun, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. Xie Lingyun liked to visit famous mountains and rivers before his death. Looking for mountains and mountains, he "always wears clogs, goes up the mountain to the front teeth, and goes down the mountain to the back teeth." This shows that his clogs are movable. Use it if you want, and take it if you don't want.
In the Qing Dynasty, clogs were very popular with women. However, most of the clogs and high heels they wore were placed in the middle of the shoes, which made it inconvenient to walk, so they were later replaced with shoes with high heels. Now tourists wear sneakers with rubber soles, and no one wears clogs.
