Chinese unique "shoehorn" culture

With "shoehorn" shoes, is a very subtle folk customs, a habit. "Shoehorn" is a small object used by people in everyday life to put on shoes, and is also a small category of many art types. However, it is perhaps precisely because of the subtleness and the "lack of observance" that this makes it a pity that it is difficult to find a clear trace from the historical records. So far from the Chinese historical literature can be found in the more clearly described "shoehorn" is the Qing Dynasty Li Guangting "rural areas on behalf of the Ministry of things on the debris," the "shoehorn" about Special presentation. He said, "The world's horns, the cow for more use. And because of the material system, the performance of the surface trial, in order to become the clever, Mo Shibu if also. ', For the woman's words also. Men's shoes, just enough to meet; and want to its tight, then use the shoe pull. Rural language said:' Give me a small shoes to wear, I will give you a mention. 'Pull those who mention to make it too.' At the end, he has another seven-character poem chanting "Shoehorn". Poetry cloud: But know that the tide will rush to Ben, not satisfied with muddy as heel with; suitable for anyone to be willing to cut toe, mining Kwai surgery Mo injury roots; only a corner of rocking force, Forgotten, then step by step squat squatting. Obviously, the function of "shoehorn" is to use its "corner of force" to help people make their feet easy and smooth into the shoes. The Ming Dynasty with a well-illustrated "San Cai Tu Hui" can be described as an encyclopedia of ancient social life, no record "shoehorn." German anthropologist Julius E. Lips, "The Origins of Things," chronicles the wooden pillows of the Santa Cruz, the combs of the West Africans, the wooden pipes of the Indians, and the wheelbarrows of ancient China with sail in the south Northern "cart", also did not talk about "shoehorn." It seems that this thing is too subtle it! However, a small invention shows great wisdom. Little stuff, even its life experience has also been forgotten, but it is also enjoy the same fine craftsmanship, a very practical creation, but also the crystallization of wisdom and wisdom. It is from the past and present all sorts of seemingly subtle "smart" plot, only bred such as the ancient "big four inventions" and today's computer, space shuttle and other shameful even history is to change the significance of human destiny invent. However, on the origin of "shoehorn", the world novels "Golden Lotus" also revealed some of our text messages. For example, "Jin Ping Mei words" twenty-eighth back "Chen Jing Jizhen lucky lotus Ximen Qing confused iron bar" wrote: Chen Jingji was a woman Pan Jinlian) a hand pull and said: "blame the short-lived, will Zhang cause! The wife died, no thought, but how to recognize the old lady. "Because asked:" You guessed I did not see anything object? "This respect to the sleeves to take out, carrying shoes drag target children, Smiled and said: "Do you think this is who?" The woman said: "so short life, you stole my shoes to the original! Teach me the name of the girl, around the ground in the search." Jing Ji said: "How do you I got it in my hand? "The woman said:" Who else is in my house? Dare you be a head-and-head mouse and steal my shoe? "Jing Ji said:" Your old man is not shy. These two days do not come to your house, how do I steal your life? "Another example is" Golden Lotus "Fifty-eighth back" Pan Jinlian hit the dog Meng Yu Lou bad mirror "once again wrote: Golden Lotus) said: "You can come again, thieves brave slaughter, how to ass lazy stay Mo Dan! I know, you have become the head in this room He said, "You have to go in front of you and call Chunmei:" Take the lamp and teach him to see! "My shoes on my shit!" Coax him down Look, carrying the shoes to pull Pakistan, pocket face is a few shoes foundation. Qiu Ju lip hit all broke, only caress wiping blood. Which of the "shoes pull target children" is what object? It turned out to be sewn in the back of the shoe to help put the shoes into the feet with children, in some dialects, or "small ears." Speaking, this "shoes drag target children", just can be described as "shoehorn" prototype. Or put it, "shoehorn" when the shoes are split with the "shoes pull target children."
