①In summer, people wave their fans to beat the heat. But the traditional Chinese fan is not just a tool for cooling down. It's an important part of Chinese culture.
②The history of the Chinese fan dates back to over 3,000 years ago, around the time of the Shang Dynasty. The earliest known "fans" were named *shanhan* (扇汗). They weren't like the fans we see today. They were tied to a horse - drawn carriage (马车) to prevent the heat of the sun and shelter passengers from the rain. The *shanhan* then developed into a long - handled fan called the *zhangshan* (障扇). This type of fan was made of silk or bird feathers and was mainly used by the emperor's honour guard (仪仗队) for decoration. It wasn't until the Zhou Dynasty that people started using folding fans to cool down.
③During the Han Dynasty, the fan became popular among common people. This was because more affordable bamboo fans had been invented. The popularity of these fans continued until the Tang and Song dynasties. Around the same time, a new type of silk fan was also introduced. Loved by young women, the silk fans were round to *resemble* the moon. They were also called "round fans" or *tuanshan*. Later, this moon - shaped fan took on many other shapes.
④The ribs (扇骨) of these silk round fans were traditionally made from bamboo. The handles were usually decorated with different designs. The main "face" of the fan was often hand - painted with calligraphy (书法) and scenes such as mountains or flowers. Folding fans were mainly made up of panels (扇面) and ribs. For the ribs, people used different kinds of materials, including wood and bamboo. The panels of the folding fan were usually made of paper, silk or other materials. They formed an empty space for artists to use as a canvas (画布). Their calligraphy work and painted scenes added colour to the fans.
⑤From the Song Dynasty on, fan painting became an art form of its own. Works of art featuring birds and flowers were popular among young women. Men, however, preferred fans decorated with calligraphy. Mythical (神话的) creatures were also popular choices. Dragons were often painted onto men's fans while ladies usually preferred phoenixes (凤凰).
