Clogs invented by ancestors have long been forgotten by Chinese people. Why are they so popular in Japan?

When it comes to the image of Japanese women, people will definitely think of kimonos and clogs. I will slowly recall in my mind that Japanese women wearing beautiful kimonos and cloth socks, standing on clogs and holding beautiful umbrellas, are so elegant and beautiful. This is probably what traditional Japanese women wear. In fact, with the changes of the times, Japan has abandoned these traditional clothes and put on some simple clothes, such as suits, canvas shoes, leather shoes and so on. Clogs just become a souvenir and will be worn on some grand festivals.

Even this can't stop Japanese girls from loving clogs, but clogs were actually worn by women in China. During the Han and Tang dynasties, the shoes worn by those women in our court were clogs. And at the time of archaeology, clogs were also found in the Eastern Jin tombs in Soochow. It was not until after the Song Dynasty that many talents stopped wearing clogs. Because of the inconvenience, they changed into cloth shoes. In fact, it is not without reason that Japanese people like to wear clogs. After all, they are just a small island country surrounded by the sea and with such a humid climate. Ordinary shoes rot easily, but wool shoes are very bad.

Mainly wooden shoes are more convenient to make. At that time, the production level was very low, wooden shoes were easier to make, and the materials were less expensive. As a Japanese island country lacking in resources, clogs have certainly become their favorite.

But now many people have forgotten the story of women wearing clogs in China, but it is still worth studying as an event in the history of China. This is my view on this issue. If you have any good comments, please write them in the comments below.
