It is a fan that covers your beauty.
The moon is closed and the flowers are shy, a Chinese idiom, pinyin: bì yuè xiū huā, which refers to a woman’s beauty. It comes from "Wandering into the Peach Garden by Mistakenly".
A fan is a wind-inducing device and a must-have item in summer. Chinese fan culture has profound cultural heritage and is an integral part of national culture. It is closely related to bamboo culture and Buddhist culture. China has always been known as the "Kingdom of Fan Making".
As a complete fan, you can appreciate the calligraphy and painting on the fan, the fan strands and their carvings separately, or you can appreciate them as a whole. Fan calligraphy and painting should be precise and neat, and the carving of fan strands can be divided into refined and vulgar ones. The calligraphy and painting fan strands complement each other, and the fan surface should be "spicy". The collection mainly includes folding fans as well as mounted sheets of folding fans and round fans. What should be considered for collections are "authenticity, refinement and newness".
The aesthetic expression and technical performance of folding fans can be divided into two parts, namely the fan surface and the fan ribs.
For a complete fan, the fan surface and fan ribs are inseparable and perfectly integrated works of art. From the Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, generally speaking, literati painters created the fan surface, while skilled craftsmen applied their skills to the fan bones. It was not until the middle of the Qing Dynasty that artists participated in the painting, calligraphy and engraving of the fan bones. As a result, the value of the fan bones doubled, and they could even exist independently of the fan surface. independent artwork.
The materials of the fan ribs are also more diverse, from ordinary square bamboo to brown bamboo, Xiangfei bamboo, hyacinthia bamboo; from ordinary mahogany to huanghuali, rosewood, chicken wing wood, nanmu, sandalwood, to Gold lacquer, mother-of-pearl, filigree and other crafts as well as rare items such as ivory and tortoise shell.
The number and style of the bones, and even the shape of the fan head are also ever-changing. Even if the folding fan is an imported product, it will be brought to its fullest potential once it is infiltrated by Chinese culture.
