Because we are human beings, we need to wear socks ... socks [edit this paragraph] History According to ancient data, the most primitive socks appeared in the Xia Dynasty in China. There is a record in "The History of the Three Kingdoms" that "King Wen went to Phoenix to worship, and his socks were untied because of his own knot", which refers to the plot of tying socks and tying garters himself. It can be seen that socks have appeared in the upper class of China in this period and become a status symbol. During the two-week period, socks are made of mature leather and cloth, and wealthy families can wear stockings. Socks are generally more than a foot high, and there are straps at the upper end, which are used to tie the top when wearing them. Its color is white, but the socks written during the sacrifice are red. The best socks are made of silk thread and embroidered with patterns. During the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a custom of taking off shoes and socks when entering the door. In the house, you walk on the table. This is not only the usual banquet, but also the electricity tide exchange. It is a great honor to take a sword to the temple. A few people in the Han Dynasty, such as Xiao Xiang and Cao Cao, also enjoyed this kind of treatment. (There is a special chapter below) In addition, two pairs of stockings unearthed from the Western Han Dynasty tomb at Mawangdui No.1 in Changsha were made by a whole silk tailor, sewn on the foot and back, and the bottom was seamless. The silk used for socks is thinner, while the silk used for socks is thicker. The hosiery tube is opened at the back, and a garter is tied at the opening. Garters are made of plain yarns. The number of socks is 23cm and 23.4cm, the height of socks tube is 2 1cm and 22.5cm, the head width is 10CM and 8CM, and the mouth width is 12.7CM and 12CM. It can be seen that the technology of sewing socks in China has a history of at least 2,000 years, much earlier than that in European countries, so China is the well-deserved originator of socks. Unlike modern clothes, ancient clothes are very easy to wear, as long as they are buttoned, they can be tight. In ancient times, clothes were not sewn with buttons, but tied with straps sewn on them to wrap skirts tightly. Not only the coat has a belt, but also the trousers and even the socks and shoes have a belt. Unlike today's socks, ancient socks were woven with special machines, but hand-sewn with fabrics such as cloth or silk or silk. Socks have straps, which were kept from Xia Dynasty to Western Han Dynasty. Biography: "Wang Sheng, the old man, said,' My socks are untied' and Gu said,' Tie my socks!'" "Let it go and end it on your knees. Now that I have it, people may make Wang Sheng say,' Why should I delay insulting Zhang Tingwei and let my knees tie socks?' "Ancient socks are not popular now. In ancient times, wearing socks was the right of rich officials. Where can the poor afford socks made of cloth and silk? " Historical Records Funny Biography: "Mr. Dong Guo is poor, and his clothes and shoes are endless. Walking in the snow, you can walk on the ground without going down. Everyone on the road laughed, and Mr. Dong Guo replied,' Who can perform in the snow? It makes people see it, its shoes are on it, and its shoes are like people. "You see, Mr. Dong Guo was such a representative. His shoes had no soles and no conditions for wearing socks, so his feet stepped on the snow and his toes were vividly printed. Ancient people stuffed barefoot into their shoes in winter. How did they spend the cold and freezing1February? The ancients really didn't have a better way to solve this problem. Fortunately, the clothes worn by the ancients were wider and longer than they are now, hanging to the ground, so when walking, even their feet were rarely exposed. Clothes actually played a role in keeping out the cold. Think about it again. In winter, people's hands are exposed and there are no special cold protection measures. Then, what qualifications do people's feet have to be treated higher than their hands? So it is natural for ancient people not to wear socks. Cao Zhi once wrote in Luo Shen Fu: "Tread in the waves, dust in socks". Presumably socks made of silk and satin were only available in the Han Dynasty. Since the later Han Dynasty, there have been more and more written records about socks. There are records of socks in the history books such as Huai Nan Zi Shuo, Book of Rites in the Later Han Dynasty, Lei pian, Book of Li Zhongchuan in the Later Han Dynasty, Biography of Cai Wenji, Supplement to National History, Biography of Li Wa, Ghost Record, Book of Rites in the Song Dynasty and Notes on Beads. [Edit this paragraph] william lee's invention 1589. William Li Faming, a student of the British Theological Seminary, invented a machine for sewing socks by hand, which is six times faster than manual sewing. This is the originator of sewing machine. At the same time, the ladies began to wear socks. The industrialized production of socks began at 1860. The hosiery industry has been looking for new materials to replace rare and expensive silk, and the appearance of blended yarn has made the hosiery industry a great success. 1928, DuPont showed the first pair of nylon stockings, and Bayer introduced polypropylene socks. 1940, high-tube nylon stockings set the highest sales record in the United States and began to become a common commodity. [Edit this paragraph] The birth of pantyhose In the 1960s, miniskirts designed by British designers mary quant and Mary Quinn swept the world. Skirts are getting shorter and shorter, high socks are dwarfed, garters are abandoned, socks and underwear are combined, and pantyhose are born. Its comfort and convenience still make women all over the world fondle admiringly, and this model is enduring for a long time. Humans have a long history of wearing socks. According to incomplete textual research, China can be traced back to the era of the Yellow Emperor, and the west can be traced back to Rome in the 5th century BC. [Edit this paragraph] sock selection 1. The types of socks are one of the main categories of weft knitted fabrics, including stockings, medium socks, socks and pantyhose. Female stockings are worn on the legs, with a total length of 74 ~ 84cm；; Middle socks are worn below the knee, the length of male socks is 42 ~ 45 cm, and the length of female socks is 38 ~ 40 cm; Socks, also known as socks, are17.5 ~ 23.5cm for men and16.5 ~ 20cm for women. Weft knitting machines for knitting stockings include circular hosiery machines and flat hosiery machines. Silk stockings woven from circular socks have sparse leg density and insufficient elasticity; Flat hosiery machine can make the number of stitches in the legs of socks more than that in the ankles, and the upper and lower density is even and elastic, so it is comfortable to wear. Chinese socks and socks are both knitted on circular hosiery machines. There are two ways to knit socks: one is to knit them directly with a circular hosiery machine; The other is to knit the rib of socks with rib machine first, and then to knit with circular socks machine. Underwear, also known as ballet socks, is first woven into long socks and trousers on a hosiery machine, and then sewn into pantyhose. Socks are divided into cotton socks, real stockings, wool socks, nylon stockings, nylon elastic socks and various blended socks according to raw materials. Cotton socks have poor fastness and wear resistance. Wool socks are generally woven with two strands of wool, which has strong warmth retention, good elasticity and hygroscopicity. Silk stockings are soft and smooth, but because silk is smooth, the loops are easy to fall off. Nylon stockings and elastic nylon stockings have good strength and wear resistance, and elastic nylon stockings has the advantages of fluffy, soft, elastic and good warmth retention. There are also some socks for special purposes, such as paddy field socks and medical socks. Paddy socks are field labor protection articles, which have good properties such as impermeability, heat insulation, cold resistance, smooth surface, and no mud. This kind of socks is made of cotton yarn, the vulnerable parts are reinforced with nylon yarn, and treated with colloidal solution composed of PVC resin, dioctyl phthalate, benzene monochloride and dibutyltin laurate. Medical socks are made of elastic nylon yarn and rubber yarn, which are used for auxiliary medical treatment of patients with varicose veins, vasculitis and lymphadenopathy. 2. Structural socks consist of three parts: the mouth, the body system and the foot. Wherein the sock foot comprises a sock heel, a sock bottom, a sock back and a sock head. The function of the sock mouth is to prevent the edge of the sock from falling off and sticking to the leg. There are five main parameters of socks: size, sole length, total length, mouth length and heel height. 3. Specifications The specifications of socks are expressed by the size of socks. The size of socks is based on the actual length of the soles of socks, so you can buy socks that suit your feet after you know your feet. However, due to the different raw materials used in socks, the size series of socks is also different. Among them, the elastic nylon stockings are 1, with a difference of 2cm. For the socks size series of cotton socks, nylon stockings socks and blended socks, the difference of 1cm is 1. 4. The quality can be summarized by six words: tight, loose, big, smooth, neat and clear, that is, tight sock mouth, loose sock bottom, large sock heel, smooth sock surface, even sock mouth without skew, clear stitch pattern, and no exposed stitches in sock lines, toes and heels. 5. According to the specific choices of different wearers, sweaty feet should buy cotton socks and wool socks that are both breathable and hygroscopic, and dry feet should buy polypropylene socks and nylon stockings with poor hygroscopicity; Those with short feet should buy stockings of the same color as high heels, which can produce a sense of slender visually, and it is not advisable to buy socks with bright colors such as red and green; It is best for those with stout feet to buy dark stockings such as dark brown and black, and try to avoid light-colored stockings, so as not to visually feel fatter feet; For women wearing high heels, it is appropriate to choose thin stockings. The higher the heel, the thinner the socks should be. The socks you wear on the road are of great significance to your backpack life. Just like shoes, socks must be carefully selected to adapt to all kinds of situations you can expect. Think about your imaginary journey. Backpackers' socks are designed to keep warm, soft and wear-resistant in various environments. Prepare suitable socks according to the various road conditions in your plan and the expected weather conditions. You can choose them according to the following general classification: liner: the liner is very thin. Socks made of this thin capillary material are used to fit feet. Socks keep feet dry and comfortable by sweating. Inner socks can only be worn between the outer socks and the feet for fear of wear. Remember, they are light hiking socks and can be worn in other socks: designed for warm weather and leisurely journey. Lightweight hiking socks emphasize perspiration and comfort in warm climate. They are thicker, warmer and more durable than lined socks. Besides, they are very soft. But their thickness is limited, so they can only stay comfortable when traveling in hot weather. Most lightweight hiking socks are made of sweat-wicking materials, so it doesn't matter whether you wear lined socks or not when you wear them. Middleweight hiking socks: This kind of socks is designed to provide reliable comfort and heat insulation in cold weather. They are thicker and warmer than light hiking socks. Most of them are particularly thickened in the parts that are easy to wear, such as heels and soles of feet, to maximize comfort. This kind of socks should be worn with lining socks. Mountain socks: Mountain socks are the thickest, warmest and softest of these socks. They are designed for long marches, difficult terrain and cold temperatures. Generally speaking, hiking socks are too thick and too hot for low-difficulty hiking in warm climate. Consider optional material wool-wool is a very popular natural material for socks. It is warm and soft, and it can keep warm after the tide. Unfortunately, wool socks are not easy to dry, and they are easy to itch when worn on feet (note: new wool materials such as mohair do not have this problem). If you don't add some other materials, it will wear easily. Blended wool (composed of wool and synthetic materials) is very popular because they solve these problems. Synthetic insulating materials-REI provides some artificial materials to provide warmth like wool, without the disadvantages of some wool mentioned above. These materials [Hollofil (r), Thermax (r), Thermastat (r)] are slightly warmer than wool, but they are very soft to wear on feet. They are also easy to dry and wear-resistant. This material can be used on socks of different types and thicknesses. Silk, a natural insulating material, is comfortable and light, but it is not as wear-resistant as other materials. Sometimes it is used as a reliable sweat absorbing material for lining socks. Synthetic perspiration materials-Synthetic perspiration materials (such as polypropylene and Coolmax) are used to make lining socks, and also woven into thick hiking socks to improve the perspiration of socks. Cotton socks are not recommended for hiking. During the journey, cotton socks absorb sweat, dry slowly, don't keep warm after the tide, and their feet are uncomfortable and easy to blister. Bottom material-Many hiking socks are thickened at the heel, sole and toes to improve comfort. These are achieved by increasing the knitting density in these areas or adding some materials such as acrylic acid. These extra-thick socks can save socks on a difficult journey on a difficult road. Supporting material-nowadays, most hiking socks are added with a small amount of malleable nylon or lycra material, which keeps the original shape and compactness of socks and minimizes the wrinkles on socks. Try it on. If possible, put on the type of socks you are considering and take a few quick steps to touch the fabric at the bottom to confirm the size of the socks-your socks must fit. Rubbing socks will never make any backpacking trip comfortable. Open classification: clothing, fashion, daily necessities, articles
