Its manufacturing process is simple requiring hemp ropes and a bundle of straw. The hemp rope is used as the warp and the straw as the weft, and after rubbing, twisting and compressing, a pair of grass sandals (<em>caoxie<\/em>) are ready for use. A skilled sandal maker can produce a pair of grass sandals in about an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/grass-shoes-059.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2447\" width=\"535\" height=\"388\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fig. 1 A pair of grass shoes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Before making grass sandals, the straw needs to be soaked in water to be softened and flattened by pounding. The pounded straw is stronger and more durable, less likely to break during weaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">To make grass sandals for oneself, one can use one\u2019s feet to stretch out the hemp rope and begin weaving.
