"Weaving Shoes" In Eastern Jin Dynasty

Qin and Han dynasties had their own system.

At that time, Lu people "male good crown, female good woven shoes."

There was such a story in the Tang Dynasty: a young boy named Zhai Fang was studying in Beijing.

Later, the mother gave up her youth and went to Beijing to earn her living by weaving her income.

Wei, Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties made great progress.

In 1964, the Eastern Jin Tomb of No. 39, Ashtar, Turpan, Xinjiang was excavated.

Its shoes are 24 centimeters long, 8.5 centimeters wide and 4.5 centimeters high.

The bottom is knitted with hemp thread, and the rest is made of nine kinds of colored silk such as brown, red, white, black, blue, yellow, yellow earth, golden yellow, green and so on. According to the shaping of the shoe, the lace of the lace and the inscription of "rich and changhou Wang Tianyan's long life" are arranged by the way of "passing through the broken weft", which is arranged symmetrically from the center to the sides, and each sentence is woven two times.

The top of the shoe is made of symmetrical Kui pattern, which is complete and colorful.
