Louis Xiv And Xie Lingyun Love High Heels.

Xie Lingyun, a great writer in Eastern Jin Dynasty, had a great pleasure in wearing his robes and high-heeled clog. He looked up with wine and poems. The favorite shoes of King Louis Xiv of France were his red velvet.

From the king's lead, high heels have always been the hearts of European American teenagers in seventeenth Century, riding horses, fighting, Baroque gorgeous gilt edged and Rococo style court elegance. Who says high heels are women's patents?

Before 1500, a high-heeled wooden shoe called "wooden clog" began to spread in the Southern Dynasty. It began to creak and creak. In this era of amazing freedom, the clogging clogs and loose robes had a great flavor.

Xie Lingyun, the poet of the Southern Dynasties, liked clogging very much. He loved the scenery and scenery everywhere.

For convenience, he improved the traditional clogs, and invented the movable tooth clogs with two wooden high heels that could be disassembled and assembled at any time. When he went up the mountain, he dismantled the front teeth and left the back teeth. When he went down the mountain, he removed the teeth and left the front teeth, so that no matter who went up or down the mountain, they kept on balance and walked smoothly.

People call this kind of clogs "mountaineering clogs" or "Xie Gong cages".

Xie Lingyun wore a clogs to the mountains and drank a small wine, blowing the mountain breeze and making several poems.

It is very popular and becomes a symbol of elegance and charm.

Li Bai mentioned in his dream of heaven and grandmother farewell, "Xie Gong's residence is still here. The water is rippled and clear, the ape is crying, and the foot is thanking the public cages.

I want to get familiar with clogs.

Extending to modern times, Huang Kan, a famous Chinese scholar, is also a loyal lover of clogs.

Xie Gong Xie Lingyun

In the northern and Southern Dynasties, freedom was uninhibited and fashion was very clear. Xie Gong was the leader of the fashion industry.

One day, Huang Kan wore his favorite clogs to attend the class at Centre College. Unfortunately, it rained heavily on the day. Huang Kan couldn't bear to see that the clogs were damaged by the rain. So he took them off and held them in his arms. When he knew he had just walked to the school gate, he was stopped by the guard. They suspected that Huang Kan was a dangerous sub point of holding suspicious objects and asked for examination.

A few days later, the headmaster found that he had not come to class, and he ran to Huang Kan's house to see it. When he saw that Huang had to go, he was very anxious to go. Huang Kan said, "schools are respecting teachers. Even a pair of spikes of teachers should be checked. They are similar to body searches. What's wrong? Absurd!

Master Huang went to Wuhan University the next day, and he founded Zhang Taiyan's Zhang Huang school together with him.

For a pair of clogs to change a school, the master Huang is also true and unrestrained, the story of the wooden clog still is the martial arts university son with relish.

Huang Kan, a master of Chinese Studies

Huang Kan, a master of Chinese studies, did not leave a book in his life. He once said that less than fifty did not write books. When he was 50 years old, he died of excessive drinking.

Western men's love for high-heeled shoes is much later than that. In fifteenth Century, when ancient Egyptian farmers wore homemade simple high-heeled shoes to cultivate in the soil, no matter how many years later, the clothes on their feet would become the favorite objects of fashion girls. They were busy farming in the soft mud. The mud was too soft and the heels were high enough to ensure that the heels of the clothes would not be stained with mud. For them, this is the sole purpose of high-heeled shoes.

Of course, the butchers in the city do not care. They are busy with high heels to avoid the warm blood and animal feces on the ground.

The fashion of high heeled shoes began in France. In the Baroque era in sixteenth Century, the French cavalry began wearing a high-heeled boots with gorgeous metal ornaments and heels attached to the stirrup to facilitate the march to war.

The heels of men's dance boots are also heightened, and they serve as aristocratic specialties and become popular in the upper class.

Gorgeous high-heeled shoes, of course, are men's money.

The popularity of high heels reached its peak in the period of the famous French monarch Louis Xiv. The controversial king was famous for his love for wars and no bathing. He was said to have been in office for 72 years and did not take more than seven baths, yet he had a special liking for high heels.

Louis Xiv originally designed high heels to restrict the maid who sneaked out of the palace wall to attend the dance. (don't ask me why a king would care about such trifles), at the beginning, the ladies in the high court shoes swayed left and right, and were very unaccustomed. After a few months, they gradually became accustomed to walking in high heels, their legs became slender and straight, and their walking posture was even better.

Louis Xiv is quite jealous. After all, the shank becomes slender and straight. For a man with a height of only 1 meters and 54, the temptation is not a little bit. He uses red leather to make the floor, and with expensive velvet, he has designed the gorgeous high heeled boots.

It looks like a lot of tall Louis Xiv. He asked him to create portraits for himself. He and his red high heel boots are still hanging in the palace of Versailles.

He came to the painter to paint landscapes on his high-heeled shoes and drew the craziness of the whole Paris noble circle.

French male aristocrats are proud of wearing high heels. Since when, high-heeled shoes have become patent for women and disappear gradually in men's wardrobe. No one can say clearly. As Simmel said, the day of birth is the elimination of fashion. After Louis Xiv, no emperor loves high heels anymore.

Portrait of Louis Xiv

Louis Xiv really takes high heels as a good idea, and wears them in almost every portrait. But does he have a standard for choosing a servant?

High heels have been firmly controlled by the upper classes for centuries as symbols of the aristocracy, and the widespread spread among civilians has benefited from the efforts of prostitutes.

They found that wearing high-heeled shoes can better show the outline of female breasts, and naturally, when walking, there is naturally a graceful and graceful manner.

In nineteenth Century, a famous brothel in Mrs. Casey, a famous brothel in New Orleans, USA, had an outstanding madam Casey. She ordered all the prostitutes to wear high heels, and specially made high-heeled shoes from France. The men watched madfully and women rushed to buy them. Soon after, the United States had the first high-heeled shoes factory.

Truly popular, become the fashion logo of women's heart.

The history of Chinese women's high heeled shoes is much later. In the Qing Dynasty, the flower and basin floor was specially worn for the aristocratic ladies. The poor people chose mostly flat bottom cloth shoes, and some poor families could only wear straw sandals.

Chinese aristocrats are all beautiful with three inches of golden lotus, and embroidered shoes are better choices.

After the abolition of foot binding in the revolution of 1911, high-heeled shoes were gradually introduced into China, and began to serve the capable nobles and famous dancers. After the reform and opening up in the 80s of last century, high-heeled shoes gradually became popular among the masses.

At this point, the high-heeled shoes gradually evolved into what we see today.
