How much do you know about Chinese oil-paper umbrellas? They are not just tools to keep people away from rain or sunlight, but also works of art with rich cultural meaning in China.
Chinese oil-paper umbrellas are one of the world's oldest types of umbrellas. According to historical records, the first oil-paper umbrella appeared during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Such umbrellas soon became very popular, especially among the literati(文人学士). They loved to write and draw on the umbrellas to show their literary tastes and painting skills.
Oil-paper umbrellas are a necessary part of traditional Chinese weddings(婚礼). A red oil-paper umbrella is needed when the bride(新娘) goes into the bridegroom's home. That's because people believe the umbrella can help stop bad luck. Also, the pronunciation of oil paper in Chinese sounds like youzi, which means having children.
It takes quite a lot of time and effort to make a Chinese oil-paper umbrella by hand. Luzhou in China's Sichuan Province is now the main production place for handmade oil-paper umbrellas in China. There, craftsmen(手艺人) must complete many steps and use over 100 different tools to make a single umbrella. With all their efforts, a traditional oil-paper umbrella made in Luzhou can stand strong winds and 3,000 times of opening and closing.
