What you wear on your feet is not only a pair of shoes, but also full of love.

As a 90-year-old, I grew up wearing my grandmother's tiger shoes. Grandma's stitching was excellent and the embroidery was beautiful, making the tiger shoes look like real, majestic and heroic.

Mom said that when I was a child, I loved my grandmother's tiger shoes the most. However, when I grew up and the shoes got smaller, my grandmother left and I was left with a pair of tiger shoes, a pair of tiger shoes made by my grandmother.

Tiger shoes are children's shoes made by traditional Han Chinese folk crafts, with embroidered tiger or tiger head patterns on the front face and upper. In the child's first birthday, the elders of the family began to wear tiger shoes, not only so that the toddler can walk steadily, but also to bless the child peace and happiness, but also to drive away ghosts and evil spirits, to protect the child from disease, full of elders of the children and grandchildren of the strong licking feelings.

Tiger shoes are complicated to make, a good pair of tiger shoes must be all hand-sewn: need to play gusset (gēbèi), the sole, do the upper, embroidered tiger face, on the upper, and finally have to tie on the tiger's whiskers, sewing on the belt. Some rich and noble families also use a variety of stitches on the tiger's head, such as embroidery, plucking flowers and hitting seeds. The colors of the tiger's upper are mainly red and yellow, and the tiger's mouth, eyebrows, nose and eyes are often outlined with thick lines to exaggerate the tiger's might.

Playing the gusset

The gusset is an essential material for making tiger shoes, and both the sole and the upper are made of it. First, a layer of paper is laid on a flat surface, and then layers of rags are glued together with a paste made of flour, which should be flat and even so that the child can wear it comfortably. Then paste the rags to dry, uncovered a large sheet of thick cloth is gusset.
