An ancient fan, two pictures, the breeze hits, and the dark fragrance floats.

Penglai Palace is facing Nanshan, and the golden stem is exposed between the Han Dynasty.

Looking at the Yaochi in the west, the queen mother descended, and the purple air was full of letters in the east.

The clouds move the pheasant's tail to open the palace fan, and the sun surrounds the dragon scales to recognize the holy face.

One bedroom Cangjiang is shocking at night, and several times the green trivial point is to work.

--Du Fu "Eight Songs of Autumn Xing"

The ancients have been making fans for thousands of years. In the "Ancient and Modern Notes", it is said that Emperor Shun made five bright fans, two in one, shaped like a door to open and close, as a guard of honor for the nobles of the Son of Heaven to travel, used to cool and cover the dust.

During the Zhou Dynasty, the guard of honor of the barrier fan can know the dignity and humility:

Eight fans of the Son of Heaven, six fans of the princes, four fans of the doctors, and two fans of the scholars. In the Warring States Period, the feather fan also spread, and Song Yu once used the crane tail as a fan, which was almost 500 years earlier than Zhuge Liang's lupine scarf.

Since the Song Dynasty, the folding fan has become popular, the pattern of the fan surface has become more and more abundant, and the material of the fan is more diverse. The evolution of the fan is also the evolution of the etiquette culture of the ancients.

The plain is a natural color, and the circle is due to the cutting work.

It is like a loose tree, and it floats like a crane in the air.

There is no snow in midsummer, and there is endless wind all year round.

In the hands of Qiu Sheng, the moon is hidden in his arms.

The tail spot is not boiled, and the palmetto is different.

Who is called relative, thin and white-bearded.

--Bai Juyi "White Feather Fan"

It takes a lot of ingenuity to make a fan,

Carved inch by inch,

Can be used as an instrument,

More to be able to appreciate the elegant play,

bones, handles, faces, pendants,

Poems, books, calligraphy, paintings,

The art of the fan,

Every single place is learning.

Materials

"The Chronicle of Long Things" has clouds,

Fan, the feather fan is the oldest,

To make a feather fan usually with birds,

Owl brown spotted feathers,

Snow-white cranes,

or the hard feathers of the white goose,

fine hairs stiff,

like a dagger,

All of them are of the highest quality.

About the fan bone material,

There is a saying that

Wuzhong folding fan,

Where rosewood, ivory, and ebony,

Shares are customary,

But palm bamboo, moso bamboo,

Called the sleeve elegance.

There are strange stones that are precious,

But if there is bamboo,

That's it.

The fan handle is mostly made of bamboo.

Bamboo fan handles are mostly jade bamboo, white bamboo,

If you want to make the fan more precious,

will use famous bamboos such as Xiangfei bamboo,

The fan snatched by Jia Yu in "Dream of Red Mansions",

It was made for Concubine Xiang.

The elegance of the fan has ten points, the fan surface accounts for seven points, if the value of the fan has ten points, the fan surface changes, ten can change hundreds. The calligraphy and painting on the fan can turn stone into gold and gold into jade.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the inscription on the fan has become popular, Wang Xizhi saw that the old woman who sold the fan was poor, so he waved his pen and wrote down the four big characters of "Qingfeng Xu Lai", and the title fan to help the poor became a beautiful talk.

In the Song Dynasty, the calligraphy and painting on the fan were more abundant, wild grasses and flowers, grass, trees and waterfowl, on the fan, you can see that everything is smart.
