Hakka tradition

"Hakka people's inheritance of traditional Chinese culture is not a complete copy. It also includes the absorption of foreign cultures and the pformation of their culture.

Although the traditional embroidered shoes of Hakkas are almost the same as those of Tang and song embroidered shoes, their details, such as heels, are quite different.

The embroidered shoes of the Tang and Song Dynasties, the upper and the heels are integrated into one, that is to say, the ends of the upper and the upper ends of the upper part are joined together to form a heel.

The Hakka embroidered shoes are produced separately and separately, and the nets are woven as a heel.

According to the author's research, there are two reasons for Hakka people to make heels in this way. First, Hakka women usually work in fields. In addition to the Lunar New Year holidays, they usually do not wear shoes during the day, but only when they finish their work in the evening, they will have a short chance to wear shoes.

At this time, feet are still wet. For comfort, men usually wear wooden slippers.

Women are bound by feudal ethics, so they have to replace cloth shoes in order to achieve the requirement of "laughing without showing their teeth and making no noise".

In accordance with the traditional method of making shoes, in order to make the upper shoe quite shaved, it often needs a layer of bamboo shell, so that the upper is beautiful, but it is very uncomfortable to wear.

Therefore, Hakka people use soft materials to make shoes roots. This way of making embroidered shoes is not only popular in the Hakka area of Gannan, but also in some ethnic minority areas outside Hakka area. Occasionally, the embroidered slippers of Mao Mao tribe in Guangxi are one of them.

Two, once Hakka women become home, they become the main labor force in the family.

So most of the hoods and shoes and stockings that they need in their life need to be taken care of before they get married.

Such advanced shoes are naturally difficult to take into account the size of the feet when they are dressed. If they make shoes according to the old traditional methods, once the feet become fat or become thin and shoes do not fit, they must be removed and redone.

In accordance with the methods used by Hakka people nowadays, even if they are not fit for the feet, they can only tighten or relax the heels of the heels, so that they do not need to affect the upper.

From the production of Hakka traditional embroidered shoes, we can see how Hakka people inherit the traditional culture and how creative they are.

On the basis of inheriting traditional culture, Hakkas pform and pcend the old culture and create a new culture with unique personality. This is Hakka's attitude towards the traditional culture of the Han nationality and the root cause of Hakka culture in the Han nationality culture.

Now, three South (Southern, southern and southern) of Gannan and Xunwu, Anyuan and other places, because they are located in the remote mountain area, not only retain a large number of Hakka round houses, but also have many Hakka customs and cultural relics. Some Hakka women also treasure their embroidery necessities, such as embroidered shoes, embroidered purse and embroidered children's caps, which are unique in their embroidered shoes, embroidered purse and embroidered children's caps.
