​History of umbrella development

From the origin of China to the world

As early as 1100 BC, Chinese began to use umbrellas, which were already used to indicate identity. At that time, it was called "helium". Mostly used for official ceremonies. The people called it "Luo Umbrella". The size of the official rank is different, and the size and color of the Luo umbrella are also different. After the birth of umbrellas in China, with the increasing opening up and exchange of foreign countries, it gradually spread to foreign countries.

Japan

The umbrella was introduced to Japan during the Tang Dynasty, and more than 500 Tang envoys were sent to study in China, who not only brought back the Chinese calendar, astronomy, music, art and other cultures back to Japan, but also brought back a variety of production technologies including umbrella craftsmanship.

United Kingdom

In 1602, umbrellas began to be popularized in France, and many countries in Europe had traces of umbrellas, but the British first opened umbrellas 100 years late, and it was rumored that the merchant Jonas Hanway started the trend of traveling with umbrellas. So that now the image of an English gentleman in a neat black suit with an umbrella is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

With the development of the umbrella industry, there are many new types of umbrellas with different characteristics: umbrellas with radio, umbrellas with fragrance, umbrellas that can be illuminated, and blind pathfinder umbrellas, which bring a lot of convenience and fun to people's lives. The riddle of "a bamboo behind the door and a room propped up". To the praise of "the wind is fair, the achievement is retired, the wind and rain are at the moment, stand up", both summarize the role of the umbrella and praise the character of the umbrella. The delicate flower umbrella unscrewed the rainy season in Jiangnan.
