In the past, umbrellas were originally reserved only for the higher classes. Because the umbrella had the meaning of sacrificing the heavens, it was not carried by the average person. So it was a symbol of authority.
In the West, umbrellas were used to protect the sunlight rather than to prevent rain. It was used for both purposes in the East and could only be used for people of authority, such as the West.
In modern times, many people use umbrellas in the rain. Umbrella protects you from rain from getting wet. And because it is composed of different colors, you can choose and wear the design you want.
As in the movie Kingsman, where action scenes using umbrellas forced many men to buy them, this suggests they could also be used for various purposes. In other words, in case of an emergency or a situation, it can act as a shield from something.
Like this, I think an umbrella, which was originally only used to protect us from the sun and rain, is now a useful item to protect and protect us from anything else.
