Red moccasins and red in history

In recent years, a dubious reputation has been entrenched for red moccasins, in many cases wearing red moccasins can incur sarcastic glances and disapproval. Although where did it come from, and why such an attitude towards red shoes?

For many people, red moccasins are associated with Russians of Caucasian descent, who love to show off in these shoes.

Let's take a look at history and see what meaning red has in the past.

The most revered color in Russia is red. Where are such conclusions from? Let's read the following lines ...

Let's remember the red shields of Russian vigilantes. The red cloaks of the princes of the Russians, the shirts of our ancestors - red or white with red embroidery. The princely banners are red.

But not only in Russia, special importance was attached to the red color. Red also has some sacredness in Chinese culture. Red is a symbol of success, happiness, life, nobility. And in ancient Rome, red was given a divine meaning - this is the color of the emperors and their entourage.

Next, we recall such phrases - The maiden is red - beautiful, kind, sweet girl. Red in this case means "beautiful, beautiful".

The catch word is a witty, well-aimed expression, bright expressive words.

Red game is the best game!

The red day of the calendar is a holiday. The expression came from the church tradition to highlight important church dates in red ink.

Red is also the color of the sun (Prince Vladimir Krasno sun). Red in Russia is a synonym for beauty.

Many heroes in Russia preferred red clothes - pants, boots, caftan, cloak, etc., only the shirt is usually white with red embroidery, hence the epic expression - red fellow!

This is the importance attached to the red color and, accordingly, red clothes for many centuries. Therefore, one should not pay attention to the ridicule of narrow-minded people - red moccasins are not at all an indicator of bad taste, as Alexander Vasiliev once said.

In general, Vasiliev claims that his task is to instill a love of beauty and history, culture and good taste in Russia, but he is disingenuous. In fact, Vasiliev regularly speaks, and often during his speech he says one thing at the beginning and another at the end, which eventually collides.

Based on this, we can say that the choice of clothes or shoes in a red tone indicates that the owner is confident in himself, and his understanding of taste is very relative.
