油纸伞在中国有一百多年的历史了。它曾经是一种日常使用的工具。
关于中国雨伞的起源有不同的故事。最受欢迎的一个与鲁班有关。据说有一次他和他的妹妹去游览西湖。天突然下起雨来。妹妹说：“我们来比赛吧。明天日出之前，想出办法让人们在下雨天也能游览西湖的人将成为获胜者。”鲁班认为这很容易。他收集工具和材料，花了一整晚的时间在湖边建造凉亭。他对自己的努力很有信心。
第二天早上，当鲁班正自豪地谈论他的成就时，他的妹妹手里拿着一个不寻常的东西。鲁班很惊讶。他发现这个由丝绸和竹子制成的东西可以很容易地打开和关闭。它很轻、很漂亮而且便于携带。鲁班说：“你赢了。你的‘亭子’能保护我们免受雨淋。”于是雨伞就被发明出来了。
后来，当纸被发明出来后，人们用便宜得多的纸来代替丝绸，降低了雨伞的成本。为了使雨伞防水，人们在伞的表面刷上桐油。油纸伞就是这样被发明出来的。
