Chinese Traditional Dance, Hand-Painted Oil-paper Umbrella with Flower and Bird Paintings - Oil-paper umbrella is a traditional cultural art piece in China, rich in spiritual and cultural connotations and historical significance.
It originated from ancient agricultural societies as a tool for farmers to shield themselves from the sun and rain while working.
Over time, oil-paper umbrellas evolved into art pieces and became an important part of Chinese traditional culture.
The production process of oil-paper umbrellas is unique and involves multiple steps, including material selection, frame making, oiling, and painting.
Among these steps, painting is the most crucial one, requiring artists to use exquisite skills to draw flower and bird patterns on the umbrella surface.
These patterns not only have aesthetic value but also carry profound cultural meanings, such as good fortune, wealth, and peace.
Oil-paper umbrellas have a long tradition in Chinese history, witnessing the changes in the lives of Chinese people and the inheritance of their culture.
Today, they have become a unique cultural heritage and are widely used in various occasions, such as weddings, celebrations, and exhibitions.
Their presence not only enriches people's aesthetic experience but also helps them understand and appreciate Chinese traditional culture better.
