When Lin Chong first met him, what was so special about the fan in his hand?

108 how many heroes are there? Song Jiang, who is in charge, is a natural one. He used to be an undertaker and a small official, so he can write whenever he can. In addition, he wrote many poems and words. When he was sent to Jiangzhou, he wrote some poems drunk. The result was regarded as anti-poetry, and almost lost his life. Wu Yong and Xiao Rang were born literate people, but they all played tricks and wrote calligraphy, and never wrote a poem. Yan Qing is versatile. He can read the vernacular, and his thimble remains numb, so he is a scholar.

Is there anything else besides these people? Is there really? That's the leopard head Lin Chong.

Both in appearance and weapons, Lin Chong is very similar to Zhang Fei, especially his nickname "Leopard Head", which is easily reminiscent of Zhang Fei with leopard head and leopard eyes, so some people think that he is a clown. In fact, apart from the appearance of weapons, Lin Chong has nothing to do with Zhang Fei. He is not only cautious, but also proficient in pen and ink. After Lin Chong killed Lu Qian and others, he went to Liangshan on a snowy night and wrote a poem in Zhu Gui's hotel to express his feelings.

From this perspective, Lin Chong is a Confucian general. In addition, when Lin Chonggang appeared, he didn't look like a clown. When he met in Suoguo Temple, he "had an origami fan in his hand" and obviously dressed as a scholar.

What's so particular about this amazing fan in Lin Chong's hand?

In the pre-Qin period, fans were originally used by kings to cover dust when they traveled. It is big and wide and needs to be lifted high. Later, this kind of fan evolved into a kind of etiquette. We watch some costume movies and TV series. There are often two ladies-in-waiting behind the emperor and queen with big fans, so they can't fan the wind. Nature is used for decoration.

In the Han Dynasty, there appeared a small fan of the same style, which can fan the wind or fan the fire during barbecue. After that, more and more fans were used to fan the wind, and the shape, style and technology of fans became more and more exquisite. By the Tang Dynasty, Sichuan's fan making technology had become world-famous.

It is still controversial when the folding fan originated. Some say it originated in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, while others say it began in the Tang Dynasty. However, the folding fan appeared at the latest in the Northern Song Dynasty.

At that time, the name of folding fan was not uniform, which could be called folding fan, folding fan, beam fan or beam fan. Folding fans can be called "disk fans" and "surprisingly fans" according to place names or makers; If the fan has spices, it can also be called "fragrant fan"; Those that can be hidden in boots are called "boot fans", and those with light ribs are called "spring fans".

On the fan, in addition to painting, it can also be used for inscription. There is a kind of "three-sided fan", because it has three layers, and there is another layer in the middle after it is unfolded left and right, and this middle layer is not easy to see, so some people will draw erotic pictures on it.

The folding fan can reach a foot wide when unfolded, and only two fingers wide after folding. The status of literati in Song Dynasty was extremely high. This kind of folding fan is very popular because of its excellent technology, convenient carrying and showing the identity of literati. At first, folding fans in Sichuan were only popular locally. Later, with the cultural exchange between North and South, even northerners and even Jin people liked it.

In the Tokyo market, there are many shops selling fans, dealing in fine-painted silk fans, fine-colored paper fans, different-color shadow flower fans and so on. In addition, there are also people who specialize in selling fan handles and fans, and some people draw landscape paintings for others' fans on the spot.

The streets are closed ... Fine-painted silk fans, fine-colored paper fans, dust-leaking fan handles, shadow play fans with different colors, gold skirts, satin vests, satin boys, gold hats, worry-free towels, toys for the four seasons, playing with sand boys ... Good fans ... In the clothing market, there are fans who sell sour articles, people who share words with Cui Guan, and people who draw landscape paintings. -Wu's dream

This shows how popular fans were at that time. But in any case, fans are mostly used by literati, and military commanders are mostly straightforward, obviously not so elegant. Although Lin Chong is the coach of 800,000 imperial guns and sticks, his name is very bluffing, but he is actually just a dirty little official, and he is easily looked down upon by others. He is cautious and honest, and wants to be promoted step by step, so he studied literature and ink, dressed as a scholar and held a folding fan in his hand.

That is to say, in other words, Lin Chong has a literati side, which is why he dare not hit Gao Yanei or kill Gao Qiu. This kind of detail needs attention in order to better understand Lin Chong's character.
