The soldiers' condition was so similar to his that he was reminded of pepper. Therefore, he referred to "Han Xiangzi's method of cooking robes and shoes", and took pepper as the main medicinal material, supplemented by Chinese medicine such as Poria, Cyrtomium fortune, as arum and Saposhnikovia divaricate to decoct soup and boil cloth. Hong Jun organized more than 500 people to make shoes day and night. Seven days after putting on their new shoes, the soldiers were cured of their foot disease, and their fighting capacity was greatly strengthened and finally won the final victory. 

In the eleventh year during Xianfeng Emperor’s reign, Zhu Lvfeng, the son of Zhu Wenyu, abandoned medicine and started a shoe shop. Adhering to the ancestor's instruction that "a book is not easy to write, a man is not easy to do, and a man who wants to do right should have a right footpath first", he named his shoe shop as “Zhengxi Tang”. The shoes made by him in the same way were not mildewed, smelly, and disease free, therefore called “pepper shoes”, which were renowned in Anhui Province, Jiangxi Province and Zhejiang Province at that time. Not until Guangxu Emperor’s reign that the “Pepper Shoes” were increasingly weaker and finally be forgotten by the later generations. 

Zhu Jiang can't remember how many times he has heard this story from his grandmother, but it is still fresh in his mind. After more than 20 years struggling in Wenzhou City, he made some achievements and set up "Jiangxi Zhengbo Industrial Co., Ltd." to specialize in making cloth shoes after returning to Wuyuan County. In addition to meeting the needs of foreign businessmen, he has been digging, sorting and testing the formulas of our ancestor's pepper shoes through various pipelines, and achieved satisfactory results in the summer of 2014. Thus, for the purpose of “Making shoes for the Chinese”, “Wuyuan Zhengxi Tang Shoes Industry Co., Ltd.” was established. Two brands, "Zhengxi Tang" and "Pepper Shoes" were registered, so as to achieve a double harvest in the field of tradition and fashion.

Summer cloth, also known as Lizzie cloth, raw cloth, is made of pure ramie fiber by hand. In the old days, it was used for making summer clothes and mosquito nets. Tao Yuanming, a poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, wrote in his poem Za Shi that “Yu Dong Zu Da Bu, Cu Xi Yi Ying Yang”. It means that coarse cloth is enough to keep out the cold in winter and block the sun in summer. It can be seen that as early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there had been summer cloth. 

Tie-dye, known in ancient times as Za Xie, Jiao Xie, Jia Xie or Ran Xie, is a traditional and unique Chinese folk dyeing process. Blue and white are used as the main colors to create the meaning of primitive simplicity by contrast. And the combination of blue and white often gives people a sense of elegance like "blue and white porcelain", and peace and tolerance is more reflected in the tie-dyed sky.
