Men's "high heels" were born in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties and have a history of more than 800 years. This is a very important discovery. After all, this is the earliest "high heels" found in China so far. It can be said that it played a certain role in the history of China's creation of "high heels". It was more than 400 years before Louis XIV of France invented high heels.
In ancient times, men usually wore stilettos or wooden soled shoes, such as "Xie" mentioned earlier and "small triangle stool" high heels found in Xinjiang. Wooden shoes are not only dry and comfortable, but also cheap. They are wear-resistant and durable. A pair of shoes can last for years. They are economical, practical and comfortable. There is no reason not to wear them.
High-heeled shoes can prevent shoes from falling into mud, and they can also prevent shoes from getting wet when they step on mud and water. In addition, the sole pad is very high, so you don't have to be afraid of wetting the upper when it rains. In addition, adding high heels can also prevent slippery in rainy days.
In addition, some ancient "high heels" are made of wood, so they are not afraid of rain or mud. Wood materials also determine the convenience of cleaning. When it is dirty with mud and water, you can lift your feet, throw it out or rinse it with clean water. Xie Lingyun of the Eastern Jin Dynasty should also take this into account when writing Xie Qigong. After all, Tianshan Road must be muddy when it rains.
