What is the meaning and symbol of the fan?

Before the Ming Dynasty, fans were mainly given by men, and the cultural implication of gift fans was mainly to express friendship, especially as souvenirs when classmates broke up. However, after entering the Ming and Qing Dynasties, fans became one of the items that men gave women, and they often wrote poems, drew pictures and expressed their feelings on fans.

The open hand fan gently sticks to the right cheek, indicating "yes". If you have a crush on a man, you can turn on the fan and gently brush your cheek. Open the fan with your right hand and put it in front of you to show your eyes, which means "come with me". Open the fan completely and put it on your chest to gently fan it and look at it, which means "wait for me".
