There was a thing called "don't borrow" in the Han Dynasty. Why on earth can't you borrow someone?

In the Han dynasty, the so-called "not borrowing" was scientifically called Xun. This word looks complicated. In fact, it is straw sandals in popular terms. When Liu Bei appeared in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he made a living by selling straw sandals.

Straw sandals existed in China in ancient times and in modern times, but with the great improvement of people's living standards, straw sandals have long since disappeared. Some post-80s and post-70s may have seen their parents wearing sandals, which basically only serve as a stepping stone, and have no function of preventing cold and keeping warm. And it's uncomfortable to wear.

When people in the Han dynasty explained the word "no borrowing", they generally thought that the production of sandals was very simple and raw materials were available everywhere. Moreover, it is also a private matter of ordinary people. Straw sandals are made of straw, with low cost and no wear resistance. A pair of straw sandals will be worn out in a few days. Therefore, people in the Han Dynasty would not borrow sandals from others. Even if it is borrowed, others will not give it. Because of sandals, you can't wear them for a few days. When you return them, there may not be any residue left. There are also straw sandals. As long as you are willing to start work, you can make up a lot with a little effort. Therefore, no one will borrow sandals from others unless they are hopelessly lazy.

In addition, there are some remarks. The word "don't borrow" here refers to all shoes, including straw sandals and cloth shoes. Shoes in Han dynasty can be roughly divided into four categories, shoes, boots and shoes. Of course, there must be expensive and cheap here, but the ancients did not have the habit of borrowing shoes.
