An umbrella is a tool to provide a cool environment or shelter from rain and snow. China was the first GJ in the world to invent the umbrella, which was an important creation of working people in China. At that time, people called it a hairpin. It can be said that umbrellas are closely related to people's lives, from the yellow umbrellas that emperors travel to the shelter tools for people. Influenced by China culture, many GJs in Asia have a long tradition of using umbrellas, but it was not until16th century that China umbrellas became popular in Europe.
The invention of an umbrella
It is said that Lu Ban works for ordinary people in the countryside, and his daughter-in-law Yun Shi delivers meals back and forth every day. In the rainy season, she is often caught in the rain. Luban designed and built some pavilions along the way. When it rains, he can hide in the pavilion for a while. Although the pavilion is good, it is always inconvenient to set up more pavilions. Moreover, children's faces change three times a day in spring, and thunderstorms come quickly in summer, even as fast as lightning. It suddenly occurred to Yun that it would be nice to have a small pavilion with him. After listening to his daughter-in-law, Lu Ban suddenly realized. The powerful and all-powerful inventor of China cut out a piece of cloth, put on a movable skeleton and put on a handle according to the pavilion. So the first umbrella in the world came out.
According to Jade Chip, the umbrella was invented by Lu Ban's daughter-in-law to take care of her husband who works outside all day. It seems that if you want to apply for a patent, it is more reasonable for the Luban couple to enjoy it. The invention of this umbrella is the product of their love and common concern.
Lu Ban was a skillful craftsman in the State of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Kong, a contemporary, travels around the world and inevitably suffers from the sun and rain. So he made a fixed umbrella in the car, which can not only shelter from the wind and rain, but also protect from the sun and summer. This fixed umbrella can be seen on the second commemorative stamp of J 162 "The 2540th Anniversary of Confucius' Birth" issued by 1989.
