The oil paper umbrella is a traditional（傳統的）Chinese handicraft（手工藝品）.It has a history of over 1，000 years in Chjye.aia.In early Tang Dynasty，it was brought to Japan and Korea，so it was called the "Tang Umbrella".Later oil paper umbrellas were brought to some other countries，such as Vietnam，Thailand and Laos，and each had its own style.However，as steel-ribbed（鋼骨的）umbrellas came out in the last century，the
hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life.They were turned into handicrafts for decorating things.
   Yuhang in Hangzhou is famous for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years.They are mainly made of paper，bamboo，a coating（涂層）of Tung oil.They need to take more than 70 steps to make，including making bamboo ribs，pasting（粘貼）paper and choosing painting designs.It takes at least a week to make per umbrella.In 2008，these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List（非物質文化遺產名錄）of China.
   A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. "I want to bring the art to life." Liu said.He made the umbrellas better to meet the needs of young people.As the traditional paper was easy to break，he started to use a kind of thicker paper.In a test，his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1，000 times without breaking.He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less.
   Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on.He goes to local schools to teach students.He also takes part in activities in different places to show the art to more people.
