Can someone help me check the changes of shoes in different periods in ancient China?

During the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, China was in a slave society. Most of the shoes worn by slave owners are made of animal skins or silk thread, while the shoes worn by slaves are made of rough hemp, bark or hay.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a reform of King Zhao Wuling promoted the development of Chinese shoes, that is, "Hu Fu riding and shooting". The booties of northern nomads began to blend into the life of Han people. After that, leather boots prevailed for thousands of years, and it was not until the Qing Dynasty that boots made of cloth silk appeared.

After Qin unified the whole country, many servitude systems were established, including servitude system. This has an important influence on the development history of shoes. According to the Qin system, men's shoes must be square and women's shoes must be round. The feudal idea that men are superior to women is first manifested in shoes.

Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is a period of great ethnic integration in China's history. The cultural integration of Han nationality and ethnic minorities has played a vital role in the development of shoes. During this period, shoes also became varied, including high heels, clogs, silk thread, hand-woven shoes and so on.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, shoes were allowed to appear in the court for the first time, shoes began to be market-oriented, and the footwear industry began to appear. In order to facilitate management, the rulers at that time also gave shoes a very vivid name-full clothes.

During the Song Dynasty, the trend of women's foot-binding rose, which was intensified with the help of Confucian scholars, and women's shoes began to deform. It was not until the founding of New China that the "Golden Lotus Culture" was completely eliminated.

In the Qing Dynasty, boots were designated as official shoes because Manchu belonged to the northern nomadic people. Manchu women like to wear "flag shoes" with high soles, which people used to call "flowerpot shoes" or "horseshoe shoes". Of course, most Han people have always maintained their original style in wearing shoes.
