Straw shoes have an irreplaceable position in China's traditional history, from the emperor to the people of Li, and even when our Red Army crosses the grass, they wear straw shoes, but grass shoes have a disadvantage, easy to break.
Large families may be woven with brown rope or hemp rope, so that straw shoes are strong and durable, but most of the common people will still use straw, or wheat straw to weave, and it will break after a period of wear.
As for the grass shoes handed down by the ancients, after thousands of years, in people's impressions, it is even more unlikely, because thanks to the material of grass shoes, it is easy to rot and is not easy to preserve, so in less than a few years, it will basically return to dust and return to the soil.
But in 1963, experts discovered the Astana tomb, and in the tomb pit No. 29, experts found a pair of straw shoes, which were made of grass, which was often used as the material for weaving ropes in ancient times.
The age of this tomb is the Tang Dynasty, which has a history of nearly 1,000 years, and this pair of grass shoes in the tomb also has a history of nearly 1,000 years, and the grass shoes that have not decayed for thousands of years really shocked the experts.
Experts thought that this pair of shoes could be preserved, and related to the material of puddle, but four years later, experts once again found a pair of straw shoes in the tomb of Astana, the material of this pair of grass shoes is hemp rope, still well preserved, not decayed.
Experts brought both pairs of straw shoes back to the museum for research, but found that the two pairs of straw shoes were not different except for some differences in weaving methods, and experts had to blame them on the special environment of the ancient tomb.
As for whether other things were added to these straw shoes, or whether they were processed in a special way when they were compiled, experts also know nothing, but the wisdom of the ancients has made modern people admire.
