In the Niuheliang Hongshan Culture (3500 BC) site in Lingyuan, Liaoning, a nude painted pottery statue of a girl was unearthed. The head and right foot are missing, and the residual height is less than 10cm. , but he was wearing short boots on his left foot (now in the collection of Liaoning Archaeological Institute)

At the beginning of the 20th century, people accidentally discovered in the ruins of Niuheliang Hongshan Culture (3500 BC) in Lingyuan, Liaoning. A terracotta statue of a naked girl was found. Unfortunately, the head and right foot were missing, and the residual height was less than 10cm. The left foot was wearing a pair of short leather shoes, that is, short leather boots. Its characteristics are very obvious. This traces the history of leather shoe craftsmanship in my country to more than 5,500 years ago. The other one is a stone statue found in Alkat Grassland, Wenquan County, Xinjiang (it is estimated to be around 3000 BC). It is 2 meters tall, has a round collar and deep eyes, a majestic look on its face, and is wearing a thick lapel coat with a waist and waist. Belted in the middle, high-leg leather boots. It truly reflects the original appearance of ancient residents wearing boots and represents the characteristics of ancient shoe culture. Later, a painted pottery human-shaped pot from the Siba Culture (2000 BC) was unearthed in Huoshaogou, Yumen, Gansu Province. It also showed a bare-breasted woman wearing a pair of large pointed shoes with deep and sharp tips and a flat bottom. It is very similar to the "leather and shoes" mentioned in the "Jiyou Pian" of Han History. Young women wear boots and shoes bare-breasted, or they may be dressed in clothing derived from certain social customs and religious reasons at that time.

Exploration on the small topic "The World of Shoes"

Browse, read and excerpt interesting information. The development of the shoemaking industry has promoted the development of private technology enterprises. With the improvement of people's living standards, shoes are required not only for general wear, but should have a new functional concept, putting forward higher requirements for bounce, comfort, folding resistance, low temperature resistance and many other aspects. If shoemaking companies do not increase their technological content and produce products that people demand, they will be eliminated by the market. As a result, many companies have added software and hardware such as sample development and design, applied high technology to product development, and also focused on introducing talents and advanced technology to accelerate product upgrading. For example, Quanzhou Huanqiu Shoes and Clothing Co., Ltd. has introduced and developed Nike's full air cushion technology, and Hui'an Zhengyi Industrial Co., Ltd. has been able to produce the most high-end MOUWEDGE (super soles) in the world today. Only by continuously increasing technological research and development and investment and improving product quality can we continue to develop domestic and foreign markets. This has become the common sense of Quanzhou's shoemaking industry. Through hard work, Quanzhou's shoe industry has achieved considerable development. In order to seize business opportunities, Quanzhou's 100,000 supply and marketing army traveled all over the country and even went abroad. At present, Quanzhou footwear enterprises have established their own brands in the international market through various channels such as branches and offices abroad, participating in international shoe fairs, publishing product information online, introducing CI management, and obtaining international quality certification certificates. Already has a certain degree of popularity. They are also constantly exploring new areas of domestic and international markets while maintaining traditional markets.

At present, the new export markets for Quanzhou shoe products are mainly concentrated in the Western European market. In 1998, despite the poor export situation, Quanzhou's footwear exports still accounted for 40% of its total volume and earned US$200 million in foreign exchange, playing an important role in the development of Quanzhou's national economy that cannot be underestimated.

In the fierce market competition, Quanzhou Shoe Industry has understood the laws of market economy, realized the importance of technology and talents in today's information age, and began to develop in the direction of collectivization, standardization, and informatization. And continue to create famous brands and gradually integrate with the international market. We believe that with the support of all sectors of society, we will be able to achieve success in the near future. "Quanzhou Tiger" will gallop in the international footwear market and show its glory.

Jinjiang is a shoe industry city. It is located on the southeast coast of Fujian Province, across the sea from Kinmen and Taiwan Island. It is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese in the country and the main ancestral home of Taiwanese compatriots. The city has a land area of ??649 square kilometers and a coastline of 110 kilometers. It currently governs 15 towns, 1 farm, and 385 villages (residences). The total population is 1.02 million, mainly Han, with 12 ethnic minorities including Hui, She, and Manchu. There are more than 2.2 million overseas Chinese and compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, known as "3 million Jinjiang people at home and abroad".

Jinjiang has a long history and a long history. After the Zhou and Qin Dynasties, the Han people in the Central Plains gradually moved southward. During the Yongjia period of the Western Jin Dynasty, people from the Central Plains moved south to avoid war and lived along the river, hence the name Jinjiang. The county government was established in the sixth year of Kaiyuan of Tang Dynasty (718 AD). In the sixth year of Taiping's reign in the Song Dynasty (AD 981), Hui'an County was established in the northeastern part of Jinjiang. Since the founding of New China, Licheng, Fengze, Luojiang Districts and Shishi City have been successively separated. In 1992, the county was removed and a city was established.

Jinjiang has beautiful mountains and rivers and a gathering of humanities. It is known as "the most famous cultural relics in the country", "the Buddhist country in Quannan" and "Zoulu on the seaside". Folk arts such as Nanyin, Palm Puppetry and Gaojia Opera are famous at home and abroad. There are many places of interest and natural landscapes, including the "Anping Bridge" which is said to be "no bridge in the world is this long", "Cao'an", the most complete Manichaean ruins "the only one in the country and the only one in the world", and the thousand-year-old ancient temple of the Sui Dynasty " There are 97 national, provincial and municipal cultural relics protection units such as Longshan Temple, Zheng Chenggong’s military site “Dongshi Village” and the world’s rare Shenhu Bay underwater ancient forest site.

In the past 20 years of reform and opening up, Quanzhou has The shoe industry has gone through ups and downs. Starting from a few outward-facing hammers, a few pairs of scissors, and a few sewing machines, it has gradually developed through increasing technological investment, improving product technological content, and pursuing economies of scale. At present, the city has 4,000 shoemaking companies, hundreds of complete production lines introduced from Italy, Japan, Taiwan and other places, thousands of plastic molding injection machines and various special equipment for shoemaking. It can produce all kinds of men's and women's fashion leather shoes, boots, outdoor casual shoes, sports shoes, work shoes, cloth rubber shoes, beach slippers, sandals, boots, all kinds of children's shoes and traditional embroidered shoes, with high production level and wide variety, and there are also a batch of TPR production , PVC, MOTO, rubber, and various raw and auxiliary materials for shoes. A shoe material, shoe machine and technology market with an annual demand of 10 billion yuan radiating across the country has been formed in Quanzhou. Quanzhou is not only my country's main manufacturing It is a shoe base and a world tourism production base

Quanzhou is located on the southeast coast of my country. It is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese in China, a famous historical and cultural city, and the starting point of the ancient "Maritime Silk Road". During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there was a "rise" The prosperous scene of merchants from all over the world. Jinjiang, my country's famous sports shoe production base, is within the jurisdiction of Quanzhou. Today, under the influence of the spring breeze of reform, Quanzhou, relying on its policy environment and unique geographical advantages, has created a market with overseas Chinese characteristics that focuses on market regulation, an export-oriented economy, joint-stock cooperatives and other economic components of various ownership systems. The economic development path with rural characteristics has become one of the regions with the most dynamic mechanism, fastest development and largest economic aggregate in Fujian Province.

The rapid economic development of Quanzhou City is like a bright pearl on the coast of southern Fujian, which is displayed in front of the world. Among them, the development of the shoemaking industry has made remarkable achievements.

After increasing investment in technology, improving the technological content of products, strengthening market development capabilities, and formulating effective marketing strategies for the industry, the Quanzhou shoemaking industry learned from the development path of world famous brands and chose to build a good brand As a breakthrough, a number of famous brand products have been created, such as "Fuguiniao", "Peak", "Anta", "Aile", "Denglilu", "Mastercard", "Zhenye", "Kanghui", etc., which are all famous all over the world. inside and outside. Because they are all products accepted and liked by consumers, they have a high market share. This not only reflects the level of Quanzhou's shoemaking industry, but also increases Quanzhou's popularity at home and abroad. For example, Huayi Company's "NYMIS" is very famous in Africa, Anta Company's "ANTA" sports shoes are very popular in Russia; Huanqiu Shoe and Clothing Company's "Yalide" and Sanxing Company The "Sanxing" shoes enjoy a high reputation in Eastern Europe and so on.

The development of Quanzhou's shoe industry has solved a large number of labor employment problems. The shoemaking industry is a labor-intensive industry, which not only provides a large number of local employment opportunities, but also attracts a large number of mainland workers to work here. According to statistics from relevant departments, the number of employees in Quanzhou's shoemaking industry and related shoe material and shoe machine companies has exceeded 300,000, which has reduced employment pressure for the society and provided a reliable guarantee for the development and growth of the shoemaking industry. In addition, the development of the shoemaking industry has driven the development of related industries. The shoemaking industry in Quanzhou City has developed from a small, simple, traditional family workshop to a major footwear production base in the country. At the same time, it has also driven the vigorous development of related supporting industries. Such as: leather, leather chemical, mechanical hardware and other industries. Chendai Town in Jinjiang City was once just a little-known agricultural town. Now it has developed into a famous "shoe industry town" in the province and even the country, with more than a thousand shoemaking companies. The annual transaction volume of Chendai shoe material market exceeds RMB 2 billion. Domestic famous shoe machines and shoe material manufacturers have settled here one after another, which not only prospered the local market, but also brought new raw and auxiliary materials for shoes to various shoe-making companies. It accelerates the transmission of footwear information and effectively promotes the development of Quanzhou's footwear industry. Jinjiang Anhai reclamation and Hui'an Baiqi Township are also examples. The development of Quanzhou's shoemaking industry has driven Anhai's tanning industry. Baiqi's rubber industry has mushroomed and has now become the largest tanning base, centralized control area and the province's main rubber sole production site in Fujian Province.

In order to further promote the development of Quanzhou's footwear industry, with the support of the Quanzhou Municipal Government, the first Jinjiang (International) Footwear Expo was held on March 19, 1999 at Jinjiang SM Plaza. Thousands of Quanzhou local and domestic and foreign footwear companies and dealers, as well as footwear industry peers and agents from Italy, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Russia, the Philippines, Hungary and other countries attended the conference, which fully demonstrated Quanzhou’s The city's shoe industry has good prospects for cooperation with domestic and foreign counterparts.

Exchange information about leather shoes that I have collected: Thousands of years ago, human ancestors had the habit of wearing shoes and wrapping their feet with animal skins , making shoes with leather to modern leather shoes, the history of wearing leather shoes is quite long. In our country, the production of modern leather shoes only has a history of more than 120 years. However, because the shape, style, structure and wearing function of leather shoes are better than other footwear, the production of leather shoes has developed rapidly. Today, leather shoes have become people's favorite footwear, one of the commodities that beautify people's lives, and a "pivotal" product in the clothing category.

1. The origin of leather shoes

According to legend, during the time of the Yellow Emperor, the minister Yu Ze "made leather shoes and leather shoes." This can be said to be the origin of leather shoes in my country. By the Shang and Zhou dynasties, tanning and leather shoe production technology had become very mature. Many Western Zhou bronze inscriptions contain records about the production of leather shawls, leather aprons, rawhide ropes, drum skins, shoe leather, dyed leather and rawhide boards. . At that time, there were also five official positions: gold, jade, leather, craftsman, and stone. It can be seen that tanning and leather shoe production were quite developed at that time, so much so that full-time officials were set up in the imperial court to manage them.

A long time ago, the production of leather shoes in our country was very developed, and the first pair of leather shoes in the world was born in China. During the Warring States Period in our country, the famous military strategist Sun Bin studied the art of war with Pang Juan when he was young. Later, Pang Juan became a general in Wei State. He knew that his talents were not as good as Sun Bin, so he plotted to harm him. One day, he invited Sun Bin to the capital of Wei (today's Kaifeng, Henan Province), and on an excuse, he executed Sun Bin by mutilation (removal of the paint covering his bones), causing him to become disabled and put him under house arrest. Later, Sun Bin got help from Qi's envoys and secretly returned to Qi. He also recommended Qi general Tian Ji to King Wei of Qi. King Wei asked about the art of war, and Sun Bin answered fluently, so he appointed him as military advisor. Sun Bin personally commanded and trained 100,000 elite troops in order to avenge Pang Juan for having his foot broken. But because his feet couldn't walk and couldn't be supported, he used the original leather shoes as a basis and designed a pattern of two parts: the greaves (upper) and the sole, carved a wooden last, and the shoemaker used harder leather and sewed it according to the pattern. A pair of "Gao Yongzi shoes" were made. This pair of high-waisted leather boots is divided into two parts: upper and sole. It is the prototype of modern leather shoes and can be regarded as the ancestor of leather shoes in the world.

When Sun Bin put on these leather shoes, he could move around with the support of the harder uppers and shoes. So he took command of an army of 100,000 people. With the tactics of "criticizing the strong and destroying the weak", "running across the beams quickly" and "attacking and rescuing", he defeated the Wei army and defeated Pang Juan. This battle took place in 353 BC and was historically known as the Battle of Guiling between Qi and Wei (now northeast of Heze, Shandong). Sun Bin created the first pair of leather shoes with stitched uppers and soles, which was a major innovation in the history of shoemaking. Later, in order to commemorate him, some famous shoemaking masters hung Sun Bin's portrait in their homes to express their nostalgia. At that time, any house with a portrait of Sun Bin showed that it was engaged in shoemaking. Sun Bin was praised by later generations as the "ancestor of shoemaking".

After the advent of leather shoes, my country's leather shoe production has developed greatly, which not only added varieties of footwear to people, but also inspired many touching stories and popular fables. It is enough to prove that my country's leather shoe production and development history is quite long.

Hong Feng found the earliest concept of "shoes" mentioned in ancient Egyptian clothing documents in "Fashion Life History" written by Planwen Kersgraf. The earliest shoes of mankind were actually sandals. . In the pyramid of the famous ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, some sandals inlaid with diamond jewelry fully illustrate this point. In the Egyptian society at that time (more than 2000 BC, more than 4000 years ago), shoes had become a luxury product. This kind of "sandals" were considered by the ancient Egyptians to be only worn indoors as noble items, but not even when walking. When traveling, ancient Egyptians would carry their shoes and put them on when they arrived at their destination (this seems to be in line with the habits of some people with serious shoe fetishes in today's society). From the earliest slippers, after thousands of years of evolution, it was not until the end of the 19th century that sports shoes were separated from the cultural category of "shoes". If you don't believe it, you can take a look at the photos of the French court nobles playing tennis in modern times. At that time, not only was tennis non-professional, but even sneakers were as amateur as leather shoes.
