There is no truth, there are points of view. And here everything is simple - the method of information exchange is at the level of images. These are the limitations of the material world. We cannot exchange and perceive information directly - only through images. And images are both words and images. Everything is images.
And all the same imagery is developed in different ways. Everyone interprets in their own way. And there is no need to sin on the method of transmitting information through images - it is perfect. We're not perfect.
Here is an example for you, which many do not see at close range, which I have not seen for many, many years.
Russia, 17th century:
“People even of the lower class lash whole hats and whole fur coats with sables … and what can you think of more absurd than the fact that even black people and peasants wear shirts embroidered with gold and pearls? …
Hats, single-rows and collars are decorated with stripes and twins, balls, ties, cords of pearls, gold and silk …
It should have been forbidden for ordinary people to use silk, gold yarn and expensive scarlet fabrics, so that the boyar class would be different from ordinary people. For it is no good for an insignificant scribe to wear the same dress with a noble boyar … There is no such disgrace anywhere in Europe.

The poorest black people wear silk dresses. Their wives are indistinguishable from the first boyars. (Yuri Krizhanich, Croatian theologian and philosopher, who arrived in Russia in 1659. In 1661 he was sent into exile in Tobolsk, where he lived for 16 years)

And this is taking into account the genocide that Peter the Great staged to destroy Russian culture and customs!
Sale of a courtyard girl in the painting by artist Nikolai Neverev “Bargaining. A scene from a serf life. From the Recent Past”(1866; Moscow, Tretyakov Gallery).
The recent past, as I now understand, is where the French and Napoleon won, and not lost, but other researchers of tart-aria.info will tell you about this.
So, how do you like a serf girl in gold? Yes, they have to work day and night and please the master, where does the time for embroidery come from? At night, near a torch?
For now, here's what I want to convey:
On the one hand, there is bastard Russia, the image of which was so assiduously hammered into us, on the other, brocade, gold, age-old traditions. Sewing techniques, patterns whose symbolism goes back to antiquity.
How does this fit together? Tell me if you know, for me it doesn't fit.
Of course, it would seem, what's unique and surprising?
Yes, even now in India and anywhere they sew such beauty - you can't take your eyes off!
And you will have traditions there, and patterns with meaning - just know how to write your dissertations.
And in Japan.
Yes, anywhere! Moreover, in the same India, any beggar will have a golden kokoshnik hidden for a special occasion.
And if it’s a wedding, it’s as if maharajas live there entirely. Each has ten gold rings in each hole.
I'll tell you this, of course it's true. And in the Arab countries and in India in Asia, wherever, traditions and dresses are not difficult to find.
So let's open our eyes! Can't you see a single root in these images?
I will not even say that Russia is ahead of the rest of the world here, give, Aria, hurray!
No, I’m not going to say anything, but maybe it’s enough to say that we had nothing? That we have been a land of slaves since time immemorial?
Is it really not clear, at least from this image alone, the traditional costume, that everything is completely different?
And these images are the key. Of those keys that open the way to accepting the very, the only correct information. What happened in reality, how everything was, who we are and where we are from and where we are going.
Whether a person sees this image, whether he understands that we are not talking about colored rags, everything depends on himself.
But, just about the bast shoe, unwashed is not necessary, eh?
