You may think you cannot live through summer without air conditioners. But at the very beginning, hand fans were almost the only help for people to drive the heat away.
Chinese people started to use hand fans over 3,000 years ago. The fans came in different shapes, such as round and square. They were also made of all kinds of materials. Leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans showed the owner's high status. Sandalwood(檀香木) fans could send out a sweet smell.
Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down. They developed into artworks, in which tuanshan(round fans) and zheshan(folded fans) were the most common.
In the shape of a full moon, tuanshan were usually made of silk. They had beautiful embroidery of birds and flowers on them. Women, especially those in the palace, liked to use them. Poets in ancient China often compared a woman's abandoned fate to tuanshan. Nalan Xingde wrote during the Qing Dynasty, "If life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fans?"
However, men, especially the literati(文人学士), used zheshan, or folded fans. The literati liked them because zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a way for them to show their talents in literature, painting and handwriting. Almost anything can be painted on zheshan, but the most popular ones usually featured landscapes.
