"Tiger Grandma": Tiger Shoe Is A Successor.

When tiger grandma Zhou Jizhen opened the door, the old concept of "80 years old" was broken.

She was tall and thin, with straight waist and a good figure. She had a mouthful of salt and no voice was vague; her eyes were strong and even strong.

The tiger shoes on the tea table are full of table tops.

In the studio, the bed, the table, and the corner are all the materials for tiger shoes. Tiger heads, tiger feet, tiger eyes, tiger tail, tiger skin, colorful colors...

The bronze medal in the living room is not obvious, but it should not be underestimated: Jiangsu's intangible cultural heritage.

The tiger's grandmother is very proud. Originally she was poor at home, and the 7 children wore all the clothes she wore from outside to outside, and tiger shoes were especially good.

Later, fame spread, and tiger shoes were made for people in the eight villages.

Later, on the spring of last year, the tiger shoes of Yan Du became the first batch of intangible cultural heritages in Jiangsu Province, and Zhou Jizhen became the representative of the intangible cultural heritage.

Old age, tiger shoes and people are rare treasures.

Wang Jin, the son of tiger grandma, became an interpreer of tiger shoe culture.

Wang Jin said wearing tiger caps and wearing tiger shoes can be traced back to ancient times.

People wear tiger shoes. One is because they admire the tiger's prestige and bravery. They hope that children will grow up as tigers as tigers and become solid. Two, tiger is the symbol of auspiciousness, wearing tiger shoes is to pray for disease elimination, exorcise evil and reduce calamities.

Tiger grandma, 16 years old, embroidered dragon robes in Suzhou embroidery factory.

"I like it as soon as I learn. I never dropped my sewing thread all my life."

The tiger grandmother stretched out her hand, and her right hand ate her finger joint, and raised a big hard bag.

As a matter of fact, there are hundreds of spare parts on every tiger shoe.

The tiger grandmother explained with tiger shoes: the shoes are tiger head, dragon body and tiger tail.

On the tiger's head, this is the two dragons rob the bead, the tiger tail is warped up in this piece, just makes the shoeshine.

Before the age of 1, the baby wears soft bottom shoes, and the bird's sole is on the sole. It means that the baby can walk fast and be a pilot.

When you have a birthday, you wear hard bottom shoes. The ten thousand characters on the sole indicate that everything is going well.

Grandma picked the youngest tiger shoe - "this is a newly born baby wearing a piece of cloth, made of" technical shoes ".

The tiger grandmother is now in the same hall. When she arrives in the new year, she will have 5 tables, all of which will grow up in tiger shoes made by her.

The neighbors also asked grandma to do it.

Tiger shoes took part in several folk crafts exhibitions in Yancheng, Shanghai and Shenzhen.

Tiger grandmother is getting older and older, and the production of tiger shoes is decreasing. The number of 10 pairs of pairs is the fastest, and the fastest is 1 months.

Grandma passed on her skills to her little daughter, Wang Hua.

"The shoes I made are not sold now, they are not sold for 100 pieces, they are kept for exhibitions by the government."

As a non-material cultural heritage, the skills of tiger grandmother are not only her own.

"I want to pass on this craft, not only to make shoes, but also to convey the ideas and meanings in shoes."

Wang Jin said, now the relevant departments and towns have begun to do this thing about Zhang Luo, choose some ingenious young women to learn from grandma, pass the idea and meaning of tiger shoes and tiger shoes into the next generation.
