What do phoenix shoes mean?

Phoenix shoes mean embroidered shoes worn by women in the old days. Draw more phoenixes with toe lines, hence the name.

Phoenix shoes are quoted as follows:

(Song) Liu Guo wrote the word "Beauty's Nails": "When you see chicken shoes, you can pick them up."

(Yuan) Cen Anqing's Beauty Walk: "The dew is fragrant and the moss is fat, and the phoenix shoes are wet and green."

(Qing) Hong Sheng's "The Palace of Eternal Life": "A phoenix shoe cover."

Since the ancient land of the Chinese nation was transformed from a matriarchal society to a paternal society, embroidered shoes in China have formed a social division of labor. Women in past dynasties passed on the ancient embroidered shoes from generation to generation, and appealed about the aesthetic concepts, cultural traditions, ethics and fashion values of each dynasty in shoes that were not square feet.

Development history of Phoenix shoes (embroidered shoes);

More than 5,000 years ago, in the Neolithic Age, leather boots entered the historical stage of the Chinese nation. Subsequently, with the differences of times and regions, shoes of different materials and styles came out one after another. For example, shoes with upturned toes, clogs with double teeth and shoelaces on the soles, and leather boots above the ankles are only for pilgrimage and sacrifice. Due to the diversity of materials and styles, the names of shoes have been varied since ancient times, including full clothes, shoes, shoes, boots, shoes and so on.

Later, because embroidered shoes were made of expensive silks and satins, flowers and birds were embroidered with silk thread, so they belonged to rich wives and daughters. In Shanghai, ladies and gentlemen frequently go out to social occasions, and they strive for beauty, thus creating a professional street of embroidered shoes. There are more than 100 professional workshops in Beijing and Shanghai. The embroidered shoes displayed in the window are colorful and decorate the streets like blooming flowers.
