The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handcraft (手工艺品).

It has a history of over 1,000 years. In the Tang Dynasty, Chinese people brought it into Japan and Korea, so it was called the "Tang Umbrella". However, as modern umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life.

Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo and Tung oil. It takes at least a week to make such an umbrella. In 2008, these were added to the Intangible Cultural Heritage List of China (中国非物质文化遗产名录).

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 used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of people.

Now, more and more people are interested in it. Liu goes to a local school to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to introduce the oil paper umbrellas. Liu Weixue is creative and tries his best to keep the traditional art alive.

Most parents say that we children never grow up. Actually, we are already 15 or 16 years old. But parents always what they can do to help us. And they always want to control every minute of our life.

For example, if I need to stay home alone, they will always be about me and my life. They always make a lot of for me. Some parents always buy their children pretty clothes and cool shoes, they are expensive. They do whatever they can do to make our life better. But why are children still unhappy? Does it mean that we still want more material things? No. In, what we want is a true family.

A true family means a place where we can hide ourselves from the outside world. From here, parents can teach us some useful. We can get warmth and happiness to continue journey through life. And one important thing is that we should be and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family. So I think parents should often communicate children so that we could understand each other better.

You might be wondering how these shows work. Well, they use a lot of drones with bright lights on them. First, someone programs a computer to tell the drones what to do. Then, that program goes to each drone. After that, people on the ground use the computer to make the drones move. When everything is ready, the show starts. All the drones fly up at the same time and move in the sky in a beautiful way.

The number of drones can make different effects. For example, some shapes need more drones than others. Simple shapes need fewer drones, and more complicated (复杂的) shapes need more. The number of the viewers (观众) and how far away they are also decide how many drones are needed so everyone can see the show well.

Even though these drone light shows are really cool, there are still ways to make them better. New tools and technology can help make the shows even more amazing. Also, the people who design the shows are trying to find new ways to make them even better.
