Tell a historical story about tiger hat and tiger shoes. It may be helpful for your graduation project in the future.

According to folklore, during the Warring States Period, Le Yi led the allied forces of seven countries to cut Qi, and even more than 70 cities in Qi were controlled. In the end, only Jimo and Ju were still in the hands of the Qi army. Jimo ancient city, located 20 miles north of Dagu River; As a strategic rear, the ancient city of Tangyi is located on the south bank of the ancient river. At present, the border between the ancient city of Shifengdian Town, jimo city and Majunzhai Village is a corner with Jimo Ancient City. At that time, hundreds of thousands of troops were gathered, and the cruelty of the war was not difficult to imagine. Later, Tian Dan put a fire bull array to break the country. The war-torn people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have since begun the difficult process of rebuilding their homes.

Because the war caused a large number of human and animal deaths, people were displaced, the battlefield could not be cleaned and buried in time, and medical conditions were limited, which led to the epidemic in the first phase. Snakes and insects multiply in the grave, and there are wolves and dogs lying in it, which poses a great threat to people's lives and property, and some newborns are often swallowed by wild animals. Tiger is the king of all animals, so many Qi people embroider a tiger's head on cloth shoes with silk thread to frighten all animals and avoid disaster. Everyone followed suit and gradually became a habit.

At that time, people on both sides of the Dagu River were actively thriving while rebuilding their homes. King Jiaodong and later Dr. Jimo took various measures to encourage them. Both officials in the palace and ordinary people will congratulate each other after giving birth. Someone saw the prince wearing a dahongpao suit, radiant and elegant, so they dyed the woven homespun in the same color and cut a new dress for the child. The prince's hat was afraid of being copied, and he was afraid of trespassing. He made a small cloak for his grandson with the same cloth to wear on his head, embroidered his eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth with silk thread, and put on a pair of shoes embroidered with the head of a tiger on his feet, which symbolizes the good wish of "being an official when he grows up, no disease and no disaster" and dressed it for 100 days (99 days). If you give birth to a girl, you can make a tiger head hat and shoes with blue dyed cloth and wear them on your body, which is called "Green Lady", and it is also expected that the woman will become a phoenix.

The custom of tiger-headed shoes and hats has been circulating in Dagu River for more than two thousand years. After several changes, this custom was finally established. Newborns/kloc-over 0/00 years old should wear "grandma's hat, aunt's shoes". The hat is a tiger's head hat, and the shoes are tiger's head shoes. They are also men and women, meaning "a red official and a green lady". Boys will worship when they grow up, and girls will marry good husbands. If grandma and aunt are experts, it is not a problem to make beautiful tiger-headed shoes and hats; If you can't do the job yourself, find someone who is good at it or a good friend in the village to "grab the knife".

At first, local farmers, especially housewives, made tiger-headed shoes and hats in metropolis. They start this work every year during the slack season. Tiger shoes are made at any time with the season, because they are worn all year round; Tiger hats were carried out after the autumn harvest in September and 10. At this time, the autumn wind is cool, and winter is coming in an instant, so be prepared in advance. At this time, tiger-headed shoes and tiger-headed hats are not only "clothes" worn by grandchildren when they are "hundred years old", but also circulated to the market as commodities for more people to recognize and accept. Before liberation and the Cultural Revolution, many villages in Pingdu, Jimo, Laixi, Chengyang and other places on both sides of the ancient river were producing tiger-headed shoes and hats in large quantities.

The manufacturing process of tiger-head shoes and tiger-head hats is relatively simple, and the fabrics have also expanded from the original home-made homespun to the later silk, satin, striped velvet and various modern fabrics, which can be described as earth-shaking. When you make a tiger hat, you must first choose the cloth, cut it according to certain specifications and sizes, and then sew it with silk thread, which is an ordinary hat, something like a small cloak. Then the eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth are embroidered on the top of the hat with various silk threads, and a lifelike tiger hat is made. If there is a layer of cloth attached to the hat, it is a lined tiger hat. These two kinds of tiger hats are collectively called single hats, which are mostly worn in spring and autumn; If a layer of cotton is added between the surface layer and the inner layer, it is a cotton tiger hat.

To make a tiger-headed shoe, you should cut the sample first, then make the upper according to the shoe sample, cut off the sole, and then nail the upper on the sole to form a pair of ordinary little shoes. At this time, the front end of the shoe is embroidered with the head of a tiger, which is a tiger's head shoe. The "gang" of tiger-headed shoes has several layers of cloth, some are "real children", and there is a new layer of cloth outside. The so-called "real child" is to glue several old pieces of cloth together layer by layer and use them as uppers after drying. Because tiger hats are mostly worn by children, they are soft and comfortable, and are rarely used.

Tiger shoes and tiger hats gradually expanded from the initial red and green colors to various colors, meeting the practical needs of more classes; Tiger head was originally embroidered with thread; Later, the organs on the tiger's face were cut off in advance, and then pasted with glue and clips, which looked like the tiger's head. Some are made of hot charcoal. Recently, buttons, silk thread and embroidery have been used, further enriching the production process.
