The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
The small foot seems to be the symbol of all girls, but when the feet of the concubines we see in the Qing Palace drama are exposed, they are all normal size, and many people think that this may not be in line with historical facts, but in fact, this is the correct way to open the feet of the Concubines of the Qing Palace. Because they were nomadic before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, women did not have the tradition of wrapping their feet. Moreover, after the Qing Dynasty ruled China at that time, when they saw Han women wrapping their feet, they thought that this was a phenomenon against nature, and it was strictly forbidden for Manchu women to wrap their feet, so the girls in the Eight Banners did not tie their feet.
Friends who see the palace drama must have seen the ''flower pot bottom'', for example, there is an episode in "New Zhu Ge Ge", the folk maid Xiao Yanzi simply can't wear the flower pot bottom worn by the ge ge, directly in front of Qianlong and the empress fell on all four feet to the sky, the picture is "too beautiful", Qianlong is embarrassed to look directly at the problem, so difficult to wear shoes, wear it what is the end of the picture? How much attention is there in it? Let's see!
There is a saying about the origin of the pot-bottomed shoes, saying that in the past, when Manchu women delivered logistics supplies to their husbands who fought on the front line, they learned the appearance of a white crane when crossing a mud pond, and tied tall branches to their shoes so that they could not be soaked by water. Later, after the Qing army entered the customs, the harem concubines gradually inherited such shoes and became more and more exquisite, and finally became today's flower pot bottom shoes.
"Flower pot bottom", the full name of the "Qing Dynasty flower pot bottom shoes", also known as "flag shoes", is a kind of shoes worn by Manchu women during the Qing Dynasty, this shoe can be more difficult to wear than thick-soled shoes, it is usually based on wood, the sole is 5 to 10 cm high, up to 25 cm, up to 25 cm, up to the bottom of the wide, flat and round, because the imprint under it is particularly like a horseshoe, so it is also called "horseshoe shoes".
As we all know, the emperor has always had the saying of "three thousand harem beauties", even if it is not as exaggerated as 3,000 people, dozens or hundreds of them, the emperor will not remember everyone's names, at this time the "flower pot bottom shoes" play a useful role.
With the development of the times, the "flower pot bottom shoes" of Qing Dynasty women have become more and more exquisite, with various embroideries, carvings, beads, and even small spikes hanging on the tip of the shoes, plus this kind of shoes are usually worn by young and middle-aged women in the nobility (the elderly wear flat shoes), so the shoes worn by concubines in the later period are prescribed according to their status. If the emperor forgot the identity and status of the woman in front of him, he could react quickly just by looking at the shoes.
Well, today's sharing ends here, and we'll see you next time
