The fans used by the people of Beijing can be roughly divided into four types, feather fans, folding fans, group fans and pu fans.

The history of the feather fan is the longest, and the Yin Dynasty has already existed, and the Tang Dynasty palace was prevalent. In film and television dramas, Zhuge Liang's fan used to "pretend to be forced" is probably the most popular.

This kind of fan is characterized by a warm and soft outlet, and does not penetrate into the bone seam. It is deeply loved by Buddhist disciples who pursue the way of health preservation.

For example, the thinkers, hermits, and immortals of the Three Kingdoms all use this fan, not because of the pursuit of various sexes, but because this thing is a symbol prop to illustrate their origin and learning.

In reality, the old Chinese medicine doctor who knows how to "avoid the wind like an arrow" also likes this thing. Like the old people of the Hong family and the Shou family in the past, they used this kind of fan.

It's a pity that in the "movement", the "four olds" were "broken" and the monks were driven away. The largest customer base is gone, and this thing is basically extinct.

The folding fan, also known as the poly bone fan and the poly head fan, was a tribute to North Korea in the Northern Song Dynasty and a tribute to Japan in the Ming Dynasty. Roughly Ming Yongle Year prevails throughout the country.

At first, this thing was mainly liked by eunuchs, and it was easy to hide in their sleeves to avoid noble eyes. Later, because the fan surface can be left with Danqing Mobao, it has become a kind of interest between the small square inches. will become the love of dignitaries and literati.

At present, it is precisely because of these two advantages. Folding fans are the most widely used, and people of a little culture and status are willing to bring one.

Like Hong Lucheng, Wang Yunlin, Shou Jingfang, Su Tailor, Chang Qiugeng, Kuang Meiyun, Chang Xianzhang, He Jiefu, Director Song, regardless of men and women, everyone uses them.

As for the group fan, it was originally the exclusive use of the wife and lady in the former house.

In the past, the silk flower workshop of the "flower market" outside the "Chongwen Gate" must concentrate manpower to catch up with the system every summer to meet the market demand.

This kind of fan is decorative, and the fan surface is mostly made of silk silk to facilitate dot painting. There are three types of fans, word fans, and painting fans. However, due to the word fan and the painting fan are ordinary products that hire people to write paintings, the plain fan is the most precious, and it is the best quality of Seiko.

Now no matter what kind of fan, Wang Yunlin is gone. Interestingly, on the contrary, there are two "sugar hearts" at home.

It is a relic of "Sister Dog", although there are flowers and birds on it, but it is obviously a plain fan, and it was later depicted by someone.

This is due to the fact that the two fans are one with an ivory handle and an agate pendant. One is an agarwood handle with a jade pendant. This kind of high-quality group fan can only be sold exclusively to rich people.

It's just that I don't know who exactly got these two fans, and who painted them. Is it a beautiful lady or a talented person?

In fact, according to Hong Yanwu's view, it is very likely that it was picked up by "Sister Dog" after being photographed.

Pu fan is undoubtedly the most popular fan.

This kind of fan is made by drying the leaves of the southern palmetto, and it is also the most common fan.

Although it has no historical and artistic value, although it is not as good as the lupine fan, the folding fan is elegant, and the group fan is pretty. But it is cheap, durable, and the most comfortable and cool fan.

For this reason, the north, the south, the west and the east are all very popular and deeply loved by the people.

Hong Yanwu loves this kind of fan alone, even if "Sugar Heart" says that he is holding an old man who plays chess at the door, he is not tired of it.

On the contrary, there are words that this thing is the household goods that the big men should use. The fan is not bad. It can also fight mosquitoes and flies. Can you change to another fan? You sit outside, don't you have to rely on my fan to protect you?

Yes, "Sugar Heart" also has to admit that sometimes benefits and decency cannot be both, and there are no words at all......

If it is said that the fan is a necessity to enjoy the coolness. Then the luxury goods of enjoying the cool should belong to reclining chairs, rattan chairs, bamboo chairs, small tables, mats, porcelain pillows, etc.

Of course, Hong Yanwu and "Sugar Heart" are also readily available.

Their chaise longue and bamboo chairs and small tables are all newly bought. I bought two recliners, which are the kind that can be put away and put away, not only easy to fold, but also have pillows on the top.

The two of them lay down together, and a small table was set up in the middle to put a radio and tea and fruits, which was very useful for taking a break at noon or enjoying the cool air in the evening.

I bought four small bamboo chairs, which are with backrests and comfortable to sit on. There are two small tables, a square table for eating, and a round table for drinking tea and eating fruits, depending on the situation.

As for rattan chairs, mattresses and pillows, they were already there.

There are two kinds of pillows, the soft one is a red patent leather pillow, which is more comfortable to use and suitable for a long sleep at night. The porcelain pillow is hard, only suitable for a nap at noon.

But what makes Hong Yanwu most amazing is the porcelain pillow, which is shaped like a sleeping old cat, but its ears are perforated and can be filled with cold water. It's not only cool to get rid of the fire.

At this point, I believe everyone should understand. With these household goods, in this era without the greenhouse effect, the pain of the highest temperature in summer can be resisted, which is really nothing.

What's more, those who can really enjoy it, there is one last big trick, that is, to buy ice.

For example, Hong Yanwu often goes to the street to buy soda in the afternoon, finds someone to buy a large piece of natural ice that is stored in the winter, and then gets it back and puts it in a large wooden basin and puts it in the bedroom. Let the ice melt slowly and release the cool air.

This is equivalent to having a natural air conditioner, and you can also put all kinds of fruits around the ice cubes, until the ice cubes are almost melted, and it is also night. There was almost no heat in the house. You can sleep peacefully.

This trick, in the past, large families did this in the house, and some were particularly greedy, not only to put ice basins in the four corners of the house. I also let the girl fan the wind in the ice basin.

Not to mention, when it comes to how to enjoy, people in the new society are really getting more and more stupid as they live, don't always think that modern life is better than the "evil old society".

What's the matter? I still don't believe it.

Then let's move on to the old summer pastimes.

If these things in front can materially ensure that people can survive the hot summer, it is considered hardware. But even if it is software, it can make people fall in love with the hot summer from the heart.

Specifically, there are a variety of activities that can be enjoyed at home, as well as those that must be enjoyed outside.

In addition to the small goldfish, you can enjoy it at home.

In the old Beijing, there were vendors who specialized in selling goldfish to deliver them to the doorstep, and then they could be kept in the lotus vats in the courtyard. Nowadays, although there are no lotus vats and no goldfish vendors, it doesn't matter.

In order to make his daughter-in-law happy, Hong Yanwu could think of any way. If you don't have a lotus vat, you can buy a glass fish tank from the store. If you don't sell goldfish, you can go to "Beihai Park" to catch them yourself.

As a result, at the end of the day, he not only used a net made of mosquito nets and sheep bones to bring back two catties of small shrimp, which was enough for the moon to toast.

A large string of lanterns, and seven or eight small goldfish of gold, red, and golden red, were also placed in a glass round jar and placed on a round table by the window of the living room.

It's a great location, so you can get the sun every morning, and it's fun to watch the fish weave through the water and plants.

It's just that "Sugar Heart" responded to the "toad goo" he caught, and he had to throw away the little tadpole with legs. This made him a little sad for this little life, and he died too lightly.

What about summer insects, it's more worry-free. Although there are no hawkers for sale, the Hong family has relatives in "Longkou Village".

You don't need Hong Yanwu to open your mouth, when the time comes. Yuntai and Zhaoqing directly asked An Yang and An Yue to bring all kinds of insects to the Hong family.

The main ones are "Grasshopper", "Cricket" and "Admiralty". Because raising a few green "grasshoppers" to listen to their chirping day and night, or to promote weaving and fun with neighbors, has always been a common way for the people of Beijing to spend summer.

And "Jin Zhong'er" is the most beautiful treasure in the summer insect, which is by no means different from the "Grasshopper", "Oil Gourd", "Mountain Tiger", "Silazi" and other big road goods.

This insect is loved by people of good families, and it is necessary to raise this insect by placing both male and female in porcelain jars, driving artemisia, and feeding edamame and sour pears. The long night flutters its wings, its sound is clear, and the sound is like a bell by the resonance of the porcelain jar, so it is called "Golden Bell".

That is Jinghua's distant dream, the poetry of Xia Worm. Who can not love?

In this way, a "Cadamel" cage was hung under the eaves of "Sugar Heart", and a small porcelain vase with "Jin Zhonger" was added to the house.

In fact, even this small porcelain vase is not an ordinary thing, it is a "Xiangsheng porcelain" appearance is a large and a small pumpkin with melon vines together, just one side of the worm. It's lifelike, it's ingenious, and it's lovely.

According to An Yangyang's words for Zhaoqing, this was collected by the neighboring village, or was it a thing from the Jiaqing period.
