In a factory in east China's Jiangxi Province, Zhang Shunnyu is busy making a traditional oil-paper umbrella, pasting the processed paper onto an umbrella frame and trimming the edges. The recent boom in tourism has brought many new orders to the factory, which specializes in the product. "I can process at least 60 umbrellas a day," said Zhang. The Jialu oil-paper umbrella, which originated in Jialu Village, Wuyuan County, is a traditional Chinese handicraft with a history of over 800 years. In 2021, the craft of making Jialu umbrellas was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.
