The meaning of umbrella cover

Umbrella cover means an ancient ceremonial object with a long-handled dome and tassels hanging from the outer edge of the umbrella cover.

Umbrella cover, pronounced as s m n g à i, is a Chinese vocabulary, which comes from Ji Shang of Emperor Liang Shu and is interpreted as an ancient ceremonial object with a long-handled dome and tassels hanging from the outer edge of the umbrella cover. An umbrella is a tool that can provide a cool environment or shelter from rain, snow and sunshine. China is the first country in the world to invent umbrellas, which is an important creation of working people in China.

At that time, it was called "Bang". It can be said that umbrellas are closely related to people's lives, from the yellow umbrellas traveled by the emperor to the rain shelter tools for the people. Influenced by the culture of China, many countries in Asia have a long tradition of using umbrellas, but it was not until the 16th century that Europe became popular with umbrellas in China.

The materials used to make umbrellas usually include malleable cloth, and other materials and winding wires that can be used as the skeleton. When it is used, it is lifted by hand. Although the main purpose of the umbrella was to block sunlight when it was first invented, it is most often used as a rain gear in rainy days. Umbrellas used to shade the sun, also known as parasols or parasols, can be fixed on outdoor furniture such as terrace tables or used on the beach.

Gai (pinyin: gài, gě) is a first-class common Chinese character. This word first appeared in the inscriptions on bronze in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the ancient glyph was pronounced with the sound of "Fu" and "hé". After the death, the official changed to death. The original meaning of a cover refers to a cover made of thatch, and it is extended to something that can be used for covering, especially a car cover or an umbrella. It is also extended to cover, cover, overcome and overwhelm, and is used as a verb.

Use of umbrella cover:

1. Shade the sun. Umbrella cover materials are mostly silk, satin and cloth, and princes and grandchildren are also used to shade the sun.

3. Fix and shelter from rain. The umbrella cover is used to fix the umbrella leaf, and it can also shelter from the rain.
