In their words, this is "stepping on the footprints of the Yellow Emperor".
Why can these footprints of the Yellow Emperor be preserved today? There is also a story circulating here. According to legend, during the period of the Yellow Emperor, there were no clothes, hats, shoes and socks, either covered with leaves or wrapped around the waist with animal skins. Like other people, the Yellow Emperor traveled around the world all the year round, wrapped in animal skins and barefoot, benefiting the people. Every winter, it's freezing, and the Yellow Emperor is scared and barefoot when he goes out to inspect.
Later, Hu Chao and Yu Ze invented hats and wooden houses, and someone built a Shuang Mu house for the Yellow Emperor. Although it's much better than walking barefoot, it's a little inconvenient to move, so you can't wear it when you go out to patrol or hunt in the mountains. In winter, someone made a pair of clogs for the Yellow Emperor. Although it's much better than walking barefoot, it's a little inconvenient to move, so you can't wear it when you go out to patrol or hunt in the mountains. One winter, the Yellow Emperor came back from going out and his feet were frozen rotten. It was inconvenient to wear clogs, so a woman named Su Que beside the Yellow Emperor secretly sewed a cloth tube for the Yellow Emperor with linen. The Yellow Emperor tried it on his foot, which was too short. It doesn't match at all. Even so, the Yellow Emperor didn't take it amiss, and praised Su Que's creative spirit. Suzaku is very sad. Once she went to the river to fetch water, and found that the Yellow Emperor walked alone on the beach, leaving deep footprints. Rosefinch a look carefully, the in the mind a bright. It turns out that the yellow emperor's feet are particularly big. If you follow the footprints, it won't be smaller. So Suzaku shipped the water, took a stone knife, drew a square grid on the soil around the footprints of the Yellow Emperor, dried it, took it home, put it on the slate, and then made a pair of high boots with cork as the bottom and linen as the help according to the size. After the Yellow Emperor tried it on, he felt very satisfied. This is how the first pair of high boots were made. The Yellow Emperor cherished these boots so much that he was reluctant to wear them at ordinary times. He only wears it on festivals or celebrations.
