I. Basic information
Legend has it that 4000 years ago, the then tribal leader Huangdi and another tribal leader Chiyou fought in Zhuolu (now Hebei Province).
It was late spring and early summer, the wind was blowing and the sun was shining.
The Yellow Emperor ordered people to set up a tent on the chariot to keep out the sun and sand, and to look at the position of the opposing army to decide the offensive countermeasures.
Later, the Yellow Emperor won.

In ancient times, it was called Beggars' Sect.
Second,
Folding number of umbrella
According to different functional designs, the number of folding umbrellas varies greatly.
Generally speaking, umbrellas in the umbrella market are mainly divided into four categories according to the number of folds: straight umbrellas (one fold), two (two) folds, three folds and five folds.
The so-called folding umbrella means that the skeleton (keel) of the umbrella can be folded several times.
For example, a two-fold umbrella means that the umbrella frame can be folded twice.
First of all, a straight umbrella or a folding umbrella.
Most of them are umbrellas, and some of them are used for sunny and rainy days. Almost all umbrella manufacturers produce this kind of straight umbrella.
Its advantage is that the umbrella ribs are generally steel frames, which are durable and can be used as crutches for the elderly.
The disadvantage is that it is long, generally inconvenient to carry and takes up space.
Secondly, I want to introduce a two-fold umbrella.
This discount is generally high-grade parasols and parasols.
Children's shoes familiar with parasols may know that a 20% discount umbrella is generally more expensive.
This is because their general skeleton design is relatively stable, and cloth umbrellas are mostly embroidered and imported ribbons. With exquisite design and good workmanship, the price is positioned in the middle and high grade.
Main advantages: poor quality, beautiful design, easy to carry and good wind and sun protection effect.
Disadvantages: It is slightly heavier than 50% and 30% umbrellas (probably not a disadvantage).
Then let's introduce a three-fold umbrella.
This kind of three-fold umbrella is widely distributed, and most umbrellas and parasols are designed in this way.
If you don't believe me, you can take out your umbrella and check it.
Most of them are 30% off.
It should be said that this is a more moderate design, not unassuming and low-key.
It is a moderate design in terms of texture and use.
Good quality, long service life, good sun protection and windproof, moderate weight and length.
The overall design is moderate, which is a more popular and practical design concept.
Finally, I would like to introduce a 50% discount umbrella.
This kind of umbrella is famous for its simplicity and lightness.
The main problem is that the general umbrella is long and heavy, and it is designed with resin skeleton and advanced aluminum alloy skeleton.
Many parasols are designed to be 50% off.
The main disadvantage is the umbrella rib, which is unbearable in the wind and rain.
Therefore, it is wise to use this umbrella for sun protection, and be careful against wind and rain.
