The history of Luzhou's oil paper umbrella production can be traced back more than 400 years to the late Ming Dynasty(1368-1644). Its craftwork is now a state-level non-material cultural heritage and has over 70 steps, including bamboo-splitting, drilling, threading, paper cutting, gluing and sun drying.[Photo/Xinhua]
