Asili ya Koti la mvua

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 The outdated rain gear has completely disappeared in the contemporary countryside, and has become the permanent memory with the development of the times.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

Katika maeneo ya vijijini ya miaka ya 1960 na 1970, koti la mvua lilikuwa chombo cha lazima kwa kwenda nje na kufanya kazi za shamba kwa kila familia. Siku za mvua, watu walihitaji kutunza maji katika mashamba ya mpunga, kufungua njia za maji karibu na nyumba na kuziba uvujaji juu ya paa ...... Haijalishi mvua ilikuwa kubwa kiasi gani, watu daima walivaa kofia ya mvua, walivaa koti la mvua la coir na kuelekea kwenye dhoruba. Wakati huo, mtazamo wa watu ulikuwa juu ya mtiririko wa maji, wakati koti la mvua la coir lilisaidia kimya kimya kuzuia mvua kutoka angani. Mvua ilizidi kuwa nzito au nyepesi, kama mishale mikali, na koti la mvua lilikuwa kama ngao inayozuia mishale ya mvua kupiga tena na tena. Masaa kadhaa yalipita, koti la mvua la nyuma lilikuwa limelowa mvua, na mtu aliyevaa mvua ya mvua na koti la mvua alisimama kama sanamu shambani kwenye upepo na mvua.

Ikawa jua baada ya mvua, watu walining'inia koti la mvua lililonyeshewa na mvua kwenye upande wa jua wa ukuta, ili jua liweze kuangaza mara kwa mara, hadi koti la mvua la coir likakauka na nyasi au nyuzi za mitende zikawa laini. Mvua iliyofuata ilipokuja, watu wangeweza kuvaa koti la mvua kavu na la joto ili kwenda kwenye upepo na mvua.

“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.

Sasa, mvua ya mvua ya coir ni nadra na inabadilishwa na mvua nyepesi na ya vitendo zaidi. Pengine, bado inaweza kupatikana katika yadi za mashamba katika maeneo ya mbali ya milimani au makumbusho katika miji, ikitoa kumbukumbu yako ya kina na kukuwezesha kufufua ufanisi na urahisi wa vizazi vilivyotangulia.
