The origin and history of high heels

The history of high heels is as follows:

/kloc-A merchant in Venice in the 5th century married a beautiful and charming woman. Businessmen often go out to do business and worry that their wives will go out to have an affair, which is very distressing. One rainy day, he was walking in the street, with a lot of mud on his heels, and he walked very hard. Inspired by this, the businessman immediately asked someone to make a pair of high heels.

Because Venice is a water city and boats are the main means of transportation, the businessman thinks that his wife can't walk on the springboard in high heels, so she can be trapped at home. Unexpectedly, his wife felt very novel when she put on these shoes. Accompanied by the servant, she got on and off the boat and played around.

China had high heels in the Zhou Dynasty. According to relevant records, the etiquette shoes worn by women in the Zhou Dynasty more than 2,200 years ago were round-headed high-soled shoes. Let's call it "ancient high heels".

There is a poem in "New Ode to Yutai", which reads: "If you doubt, you will be afraid of the wind." It's very vivid, and the "high heels" are quite high, otherwise the feet haven't been lifted, which makes people look like climbing a step. This is 1500 years ago the shoes worn by women in the Liang Dynasty.

There were also "high heels" in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Mi Fei, a calligrapher in the Song Dynasty, recorded in the postscript of The Legacy of Tang Wende that Tang Changsun's shoes were "made of Dan Yu, decorated with gold leaves on the front and back, with long feet and three inches on the bottom." ?

This kind of "high-heeled shoes" is more than three inches high and narrow. At that time, people gave this kind of shoes a poetic name, which means that the soles are slowly falling off, high and dangerous.
