From the Ching Ming Festival to most of the spring, there is always rain, and it is necessary to play an umbrella when it rains. An umbrella is a common life item for people. The weather in the sky is unpredictable. People need to use it to cover the changes of the rain, the rain and the snow. Therefore, the presence of this object in people's lives is very high. Every household has a corner belonging to the umbrella. The parasol umbrella used by the family is usually stored here. It is taken out when the sun is big or raining. .
China is the first country in the world to invent umbrellas. Ancient umbrellas and today's umbrellas have different shapes and functions. Very early, historical officials recorded in the annals: "Umbrella, the ancient Zhang 帛 帛 é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿ é¿Imagine that in China, more than 3,000 years ago, someone had been wearing an umbrella in the rain or under the scorching sun. It is inevitable that there will be a sense of modernity.

What did people use to cover bad weather before the umbrella appeared? There is a Tang poem in the elementary school textbook. Many people are familiar with it: "The green scorpion, the green smock, the slanting wind and the rain do not have to return." "ç®¬ç¬ " is the fight, like the "è“‘è¡£", it is generally used bamboo raft, The eucalyptus leaves and some waterproof bark are made up. When people wear them on rainy days, they will not be wet by the rain, just like our raincoat today.
However, the monks and the monks did not exist in the Tang Dynasty. The people of the pre-Qin period wrote in the Book of Songs: "Ermu to think, why not." The Eastern Han "Yu Wen Jie Zi" wrote a kind of "ç°¦"The object, "ç°¦, ç¬ cover also. From bamboo, Dengsheng", this is a kind of stalk. Think about it, a stick holds up a small piece of "shed", which is actually the early appearance of the umbrella. Later, the material of the umbrella slowly changed from simple grass to expensive silk. After the papermaking process, some people brushed the paper with tung oil and slowly evolved the most common paper umbrella in later generations. "Tai Ping Yu Lan" quoted the text: "Zhang Yu avoids the rain, that is, the umbrella, the cover is the use of umbrellas, the three generations have also been." "Umbrella" read like "umbrella", is also a kind of early umbrella name, until In the Tang Dynasty, the name "umbrella" was finally finalized.
There are many legends about the invention of umbrellas, one of which is the inventor Lu Ban and his wife during the Spring and Autumn Period. According to legend, there were no umbrellas at that time. In order to expose people to the sun as much as possible, Luban built many pavilions along the road. But Luban’s wife still distressed her husband. She always thought that if she could have a small pavilion with her, she would follow the pavilion and use a bark of grass and grass to tie out a light shed. It is also equipped with a handle so that the husband can carry it at any time without having to be drenched. This legend is very human, symbolizing a person's affection for others. Nowadays, the well-known "White Snake Biography", Bai Niangzi and Xu Xian also used an umbrella to settle in the first encounter. Therefore, the object of the umbrella is also covered with the romance and warmth of the ancient times.

All practical objects were created in the early days for convenience, and the umbrella is the same. But later, as the popularity of umbrellas became more and more common and more common, people began to attach rich social information to them. Especially after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the imperial courts used strict rules on the use of umbrellas. Especially when the emperor traveled, the car had a "canopy" made of satin to highlight the ceremonies. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, emperors and high officials used the "purple cover", and the official position was slightly lower with the "green cover", even the specific colors have provisions.
In the "Sui Shu", there are umbrella etiquettes at that time: "Princess Prince, three or more divisions, Shanwei fan, purple umbrella"; "Emperor and three or more officials, green umbrella Zhuli"; and "green umbrella Bi Li, Da Yu Shiren." And in the Song Dynasty, the royal family had "square umbrellas, large umbrellas, all of them are red, purple watches, Zhu Li, four-corner copper daggers", brilliant style, Wang Gong and below use "four-corner green umbrella". The "green umbrella" rule caused the ups and downs to follow the trend, which directly led to the fact that the people in the capital of the country had a little bit of identity with a green umbrella, and could not distinguish between the high and low, so the court had to order "only the Prince used it, and the rest was forbidden."
This seems a bit unbelievable today, but in ancient times, everything in your life that was within reach was to be divided into various forms to honor others. Even if they are all symbolic of the Huagai, there are also the distinctions of "curved cover", "guide cover", "clam cover", "peacock cover", etc., both high and low levels must be highlighted.
Especially in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of control was more serious. In the Ming Dynasty·Yifuzhi, it was recorded: “In the first year of Hongwu, the people of the country were not allowed to use the Luoyi umbrella, but they were allowed to use oil-paper umbrellas.†The civilians cannot use the umbrellas. Paper umbrella, and even the bureaucracy, depending on the level, whether it can be "open umbrella", what color of "floating top" is used "green 绢 绢 â€" or other, can be added on the umbrella cover Decoration and more. In essence, it is just an umbrella. But perhaps a blue umbrella that seems to be common today can be a lifelong pursuit of a scholar.
But fortunately, in addition to identity, the umbrella is more of a poetic and beautiful thing for the Chinese. Every time I go to the spring rain, when I walk in the spring rain, my mind will always show a girl who is squatting in the rain lane of Jiangnan and holding a paper umbrella. It is a paper umbrella, the most common one, even used decades ago. I saw it in my grandmother's house when I was a child. There is no bells and whistles, hand-cut bamboo sticks are used as umbrella stands, and the kind of "small paper" mentioned in "Heavenly Creations" is made of umbrella surface, and then tung oil is applied on it, and some flowers are painted on it. What is it? It doesn't matter if it doesn't.
It must be such a pure nature, it must be made by the craftsman with such a drop by hand, otherwise it will not catch up with the spring rain season.
