First of all, let me tell you about the sector of the folding fan. The most commonly used material is paper, but there are also silk and yarn. But most of what we see is paper.
Through the meticulous creation of artisans in past dynasties, Yang Fan painting art can get a glimpse of the development history of China painting and become a condensed version of China painting. The aesthetic expression and skill display of folding fans are outstanding not only in painting and calligraphy, but also in the art of fan bones!
Let me tell you something. Maybe you know it too well. Let me describe it to you in a popular way. Some ancient literati like to draw a landscape on a fan and write a sentence to express their affection for friends or colleagues (before knowing each other, it was only for comrades-in-arms), or to give it as a gift to relatives and friends. Slowly, this habit has been accepted by most people. With the change of time, it has become a treasure of China's calligraphy and painting.
In addition, some fans of different generations hang some small pendants on the handle, which is a symbol of status.
That's all. I hope I can help you.
