Stepping on embroidered shoes to show love is one of the important tujia folk customs. It is the important festival for tujia national minority men and women to choose best partner. Embroidered shoes itself is the manual activity for tujia daughter, the most important thing in embroidered products.

Tujia men trample embroidered shoes to courtship, which has a taste. Tujia girl will be especially careful, never let the man she don’t like to step on her embroidered shoes. Once on her embroidered shoes, girl will change the original intention, to worship the man’s courage and wisdom. If tujia men don’t really have the right to step on the girl’s embroidered shoes, they still can rob embroidery insoles, embroidered tobacco pouch and embroidered belt. As long as robbing one trust, they have a good beginning, also have a good love.
