Orijin nan enpèrmeabl

Raincoat originated in China. During the Zhou Dynasty, people used the herb “ficus pumila” to make raincoats to protect against rain, snow, wind and sun. Such kind of raincoat is usually called “coir raincoat”. The outdated rain gear has completely disappeared in the contemporary countryside, and has become the permanent memory with the development of the times. The memory is indelible, which will appear in a particular occasion to touch your emotions, and you will remember it involuntarily and clearly. The memory gets more precious with years.

Nan zòn riral yo nan ane 1960 yo ak ane 1970 yo, enpèrmeabl koko a te yon zouti endispansab pou soti ak fè travay agrikòl pou chak fanmi. Nan jou lapli, moun yo te bezwen veye dlo nan paddy yo, debloke vwa navigab yo nan kay la ak bouche koule yo sou do kay la...... Kèlkeswa jan lapli a te fò, moun yo toujou mete chapo lapli a, mete enpèrmea koko a ak tèt nan tanpèt la. Nan tan sa a, konsantre nan moun yo te sou koule nan dlo, pandan y ap enpèrmeabl nan koko an silans te ede moun bloke lapli ki soti nan syèl la. Lapli a te vin pi lou oswa pi lejè, tankou flèch byen file, ak enpèrmeabl nan koko a te tankou yon plak pwotèj ki anpeche flèch lapli yo tire ankò e ankò. Plizyè èdtan te pase, enpèrmeabl nan koko sou do a te tranpe pa lapli, ak moun nan mete chapo lapli a ak enpèrmeabl nan koko kanpe kòm yon estati nan jaden an nan van an ak lapli.

Li te tounen solèy apre lapli, moun te pandye enpèrmeabl lapli ki tranpe sou bò solèy la nan miray la, se konsa ke solèy la te ka klere li repete, jiskaske enpèrmeabl nan coir cheche epi zèb la oswa fib palmis la vin an gonfle. Lè pwochen tanpèt lapli te vini, moun te kapab mete enpèrmea koko sèk ak cho pou ale nan van ak lapli.

“Indigo rainhats and green coir raincoats”, in the busy farming season of spring, people wearing rainhats and coir raincoats could be seen everywhere in the fields. The coir raincoat protected farmers from the wind and rain. Year after year, the farmers gained fruitful harvests.

Koulye a, enpèrmeabl la koko ra epi li ranplase pa yon enpèrmeabl pi lejè ak plis pratik. Petèt, li ka toujou jwenn nan lakou fèm nan zòn mòn aleka oswa mize nan vil yo, evoke memwa gwo twou san fon ou epi ki pèmèt ou reviv frugalite a ak senplisite nan jenerasyon anvan yo.
