Chiyambi cha Raincoat

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 The outdated rain gear has completely disappeared in the contemporary countryside, and has become the permanent memory with the development of the times.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.

M'madera akumidzi a zaka za m'ma 1960 ndi 1970, coir raincoat inali chida chofunika kwambiri popita kukagwira ntchito zaulimi kwa banja lirilonse. Pamasiku amvula, anthu ankafunika kuyang'anira madzi m'minda ya paddy, kumasula mitsinje yamadzi kuzungulira nyumbayo ndikutsekera zotuluka padenga...... Mosasamala kanthu kuti mvula inali yochuluka bwanji, anthu nthawi zonse amavala chovala chamvula, amavala malaya amvula a coir ndikupita ku mphepo yamkuntho. Pa nthawiyo, maganizo a anthu anali pa kuyenda kwa madzi, pamene coir raincoat mwakachetechete kuthandiza anthu kuletsa mvula kumwamba. Mvulayo inkawonjezereka kapena kucheperapo, ngati mivi yakuthwa, ndipo malaya amvula anali ngati chishango chotchinga mivi yamvula kuti isaponye mobwerezabwereza. Maola angapo anadutsa, coir raincoat kumbuyo anali atanyowa ndi mvula, ndipo munthu wovala rainhat ndi coir raincoat anaima ngati fano m'munda mphepo ndi mvula.

“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.
