Yenziwe ngesakhelo se-bamboo kunye nomphezulu owenziwe nge-mianzhi okanye i-pizhi epeyintwe ngobuchule – iintlobo zephepha elincinci kodwa elihlala ixesha elide elenziwe ngexolo lomthi – ii-ambrela zephepha leoyile zaseTshayina bezisoloko zijongwa njengophawu lwesithethe saseTshayina sobugcisa benkcubeko kunye nobuhle bemibongo.
Ipeyintwe nge-tongyou – uhlobo lweoyile yezityalo ekhutshwe kwisiqhamo somthi we-tung ofumaneka eMzantsi China – ukuze ingabi namanzi, ii-ambrela zephepha leoyile zaseTshayina azisisixhobo nje sokukhusela imvula okanye ukukhanya kwelanga, kodwa zikwayimisebenzi yobugcisa enentsingiselo etyebileyo yenkcubeko kunye nexabiso lobuhle.
Imbali
Njengoko zinandipha imbali yeminyaka ephantse ibe ziinkulungwane ezimbini, ii-ambrela zephepha leoyile zaseTshayina ziphakathi kwee-ambrela ezindala kakhulu emhlabeni. Ngokweengxelo zembali, ii-ambrela zephepha leoyile zokuqala eTshayina zaqala ukubonakala ngexesha leMpuma Han Dynasty (25-220). Kungekudala zathandwa kakhulu, ingakumbi phakathi kwababhali nababhali ababethanda ukubhala nokuzoba kumphezulu we-ambrela ngaphambi kokuba i-oyile yokuthintela amanzi isetyenziswe ukubonisa izakhono zabo zobugcisa kunye neencasa zoncwadi. Izinto ezivela kumzobo we-inki wendabuko waseTshayina, njengeentaka, iintyatyambo kunye neendawo, zinokufumaneka nakwii-ambrela zephepha leoyile njengeepateni zokuhombisa ezidumileyo.
Kamva, ii-ambrela zephepha leoyile zaseTshayina zaziswa phesheya eJapan nakubukumkani baseKorea bamandulo baseGojoseon ngexesha loBukhosi baseTang (618-907), yiyo loo nto zazisaziwa kwezo zizwe zimbini njenge-"Tang ambrela." Nanamhlanje, zisasetyenziswa njengesixhobo sokuncedisa iindima zabasetyhini kwiidrama nakwimidaniso yendabuko yaseJapan.
Kwiinkulungwane ezidlulileyo iiambrela zaseTshayina zisasazeke nakwamanye amazwe aseAsia afana neVietnam neThailand.
Isimboli yendabuko
Iiambrela zephepha leoyile ziyinxalenye ebalulekileyo kwimitshato yesintu yaseTshayina. Umlungisi wemitshato ubamba isambrela esibomvu sephepha leoyile njengoko umakoti esamkelwa ekhayeni lomyeni njengoko isambrela sisithi sincede ekuthinteleni amashwa. Kwakhona ngenxa yokuba i-oyile-paper (youzhi) ivakala njengegama elithi “ukuba nabantwana” (youzi), isambrela sibonwa njengophawu lokuzala.
Ukongeza, ii-ambrela zephepha leoyile zaseTshayina zihlala zivela kwimisebenzi yoncwadi lwesiTshayina ukuze zibonise uthando nobuhle, ingakumbi kumabali asemazantsi oMlambo iYangtze apho kudla ngokuba nemvula kwaye kugqume inkungu.
Iimuvi kunye notshintsho lweTV olusekelwe kwibali elidumileyo laseTshayina elithi Madame White Snake ludla ngokuba neqhawekazi elihle elijike laba yinyoka uBai Suzhen eliphethe isambrela esithambileyo sephepha leoyile xa edibana nesithandwa sakhe sexesha elizayo uXu Xian okokuqala.
“Ndindedwa ndiphethe isambrela sephepha leoyile, ndihambahamba kwindlela ende yodwa emvuleni…” itsho njalo imbongo yesiTshayina yanamhlanje edumileyo ethi “A Lane in the Rain” ebhalwe yimbongi yaseTshayina uDai Wangshu (njengoko iguqulelwe nguYang Xianyi noGladys Yang). Lo mfanekiso umnyama nophuphayo ngomnye umzekelo oqhelekileyo wesambrela njengophawu lwenkcubeko.
Indlela esangqa ngayo isambrela iyenza ibe luphawu lokuhlangana kwakhona kuba igama elithi “round” okanye “circle” (yuan) ngesiTshayina likwathetha “ukuhlangana.”
