In the middle and late period, with the entry of the Qing Dynasty, this kind of flower pot bottom shoes became more and more exquisite, and slowly developed into high-soled shoes!
The second name is like this: the Manchu ancestors, in order to cross a mud pond and defeat their opponents, so they learned the appearance of the crane and tied branches to the soles of their shoes, and it was also because of this kind of practice that they successfully survived the mud pond, recovered the lost land, and won the final victory.
