Introduction of Chaoshan clogs

Clogs, commonly known as wooden shoes, are a folk commodity in China. They are called "Galaban" in the north, "drawers" in ancient times and "clogs" in Guangdong. Before the middle of this century, people liked to use it. Especially in Chaoshan area, wearing clogs is a traditional custom of Chaoshan people, and clogs have become a necessary commodity. Yan Shigu's "Urgent Articles" notes: "If you are embarrassed, you can use wood as a thing and practice mud with two teeth." Teeth that can practice mud in the hole are used for walking lightly and preventing moisture and skid in rainy days.
