Clogs were first invented in China. Why are they popular in Japan?

To tell the truth, I didn't know until I saw this problem. The clogs symbolizing Japanese culture were actually invented by China. Then why is the clogs invented by China popular in Japan?

First of all, because clogs are more suitable for Japanese. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Wengong invented the clogs. Clogs can be found in the cultural relics unearthed in the Jin Dynasty, so we can be sure that clogs were invented by China. But we all know that clogs are inconvenient to walk and even dare not take big steps. But after being introduced to Japan, the Japanese are a treasure, because it rains all the year round in Japan, making the ground very wet.

Secondly, clogs are really not suitable for China people to wear. Why China was always a feudal society in ancient times? The feudal society demanded a lot of women, especially women's feet could not be exposed to outsiders. For ancient women in China, whoever looks after their feet is responsible, and clogs are inconvenient to walk in socks, plus ancient women in China. Therefore, it was always impossible for ancient men to wear clogs, while ancient women did not. Anyway, it should be unified, so clogs are gradually eliminated in China.

Clogs were not suitable for China's own social situation and became a necessity in Japan, so clogs gradually withdrew from the historical stage in China and became popular in Japan. When you see through the clogs, you are basically encouraged to move forward. Every step is a big bang, and it's cute to think about it.

Now, however, clogs have gradually disappeared in Japan. Now, most Japanese people in society have begun to wear flat shoes for daily life. Clogs will only appear on some important occasions, such as some large-scale sacrificial activities or royal activities, and Japanese people will pick up kimonos and put on clogs again.
