There are various patterns suitable for painting on the fan, such as calligraphy, landscape painting, lotus, portrait, plum blossom, bamboo chrysanthemum, peony and so on. These fans can be divided into four categories, namely, landscape lyricism, flowers and birds to entertain the heart, shadow-bearing and poetry-chanting. ?
Landscape painting on the fan is very common, because some literati love to express their feelings in the landscape, so
These green mountains and green waters are not only beautiful natural scenery, but also a way for literati to cultivate themselves and express their feelings.
This kind of fan is more common after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, because the different styles of painting schools also represent different meanings, and it is more often to depict the ideal paradise in the heart.
