Women's umbrellas from the sun and rain

When the sky outside the window is covered with gray clouds, and we cannot stay at home in such bad weather, we take an umbrella with us. Gray, black or defiantly bright - red, yellow. A yellow umbrella and a gray coat, and a gray sky, and dullness around, an umbrella as a challenge to this boring foggy world. We take our favorite umbrella with us. We take with us a completely unloved umbrella, which, moreover, is blown away by the annoying wind every now and then. In general, we just take an umbrella with us. But there are those who are sure that you can fly with an umbrella ...

Like all things in our already fairly old world, the umbrella so commonplace today has its own story. And like the history of many things around us, it begins either in Ancient Egypt, or in Ancient China. It is only known for certain that already in the XI century BC. there were umbrellas on planet Earth. And if, hiding under an umbrella, you feel like a real queen, then you are absolutely right. In those very ancient countries - Egypt and China - the umbrella was considered a symbol of the pharaoh or the emperor. In India, not only the ruler, but also noble people had the privilege to wear an umbrella, and the more noble a person was, the more umbrellas his servants carried after him. India, China, Egypt ... Stop! There is practically no rain there! And the ancient umbrellas of the same ancient rulers protected from the sun. Women are beginning to use this little thing called ... God knows what he was called then and there, only in Ancient Rome.

The first umbrellas in Europe appear only in the 17th century, in France. In France, the umbrella was called "parasol". It was this word that migrated into the Polish, Ukrainian and Belarusian (parason - umbrella) languages. In the Russian language, the word "umbrella" came from Holland (from the Dutch zonnedek), and the umbrella itself, nevertheless, from France.

“Your umbrella, sir. It's raining outside the window, said the servant. " Good old rainy England. It was the British who were among the first to come up with the idea of ​​taking umbrellas with them, not only when there is simply nowhere to go from the scorching sun, but also when it is raining outside the window.

Today, two types of umbrellas are most often used - folding automatic umbrellas (by the way, in 1969 the first folding umbrella was patented by a man named Brad Phillips) and walking-stick umbrellas (the first such umbrellas appear in Europe shortly before the First World War). There are also transparent umbrellas, some of which can have a very unusual look. Everything is very simple, a transparent umbrella does not block the view, everything is visible through it, so there are transparent umbrellas that cover not only the entire head, but also the shoulders. Such umbrellas were in vogue in the 1980s, and they were called umbrellas - "birdcages".

The history of the umbrella, dating back more than two thousand years, does not end. Already today it is quite possible to find completely futuristic umbrellas, umbrellas, which, perhaps, will become quite everyday and boring for our grandchildren. There are umbrellas with LED lighting that illuminate the road at night. But this is so, flowers. Now umbrellas can predict the weather. On the handle of such an umbrella there is a special device that receives weather data and if precipitation is expected within 12 hours, special LEDs light up.However, you can go even further - sit, or rather walk in the rain, or maybe even bask on the beach, and at the same time be on the Internet, for this you just need to place either on the handle, or on the dome (for different scientists different ideas) umbrella touch screens ...

This is how it is, the fate of a completely simple and familiar umbrella. And yes, most importantly, the umbrellas, they are not only round, there are also square, but also triangular, and even in the shape of hearts. Indeed, this year, unusual shapes of umbrellas are in fashion, as well as bright colors - lilac, red, yellow, umbrellas with bows and ruffles and drawings on the dome in the form of hieroglyphs, various ornaments, landscapes, cartoon characters. In general, your umbrella should be as bright as possible, naive, more fun and ..., yes, more magical.
