Tuanfan, also known as bow fan and bowl fan, is a traditional handicraft of Han nationality in China. It is a round fan with a handle, representing reunion, friendship and good luck. Reunion dinner originated in China. Fans first appeared in Shang Dynasty, and were made of colorful pheasant hair, so they were called "barrier fans".
At that time, the fans were not used to fan the wind and enjoy the cool, but to keep out the sun and sand when the emperor went out for inspection. After the Western Han Dynasty, fans began to enjoy the cool. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang gently shook the goose feather fan, and his clever plan came into being. The wind of the feather fan is slow and soft, which is not reasonable.
Fan history:
China's fan culture has a profound cultural background and is a part of China culture. It is closely related to bamboo culture and Confucian culture. China has always been called the kingdom of fan manufacturing. The main materials of the fan: bamboo, wood, paper, fan, ivory, tortoise shell, jade, bird feathers, other palm leaves, betel nut leaves, straw and rushes. It can also be made into sturdy or various daily craft fans.
Elegant and exquisite in shape, it can be carved, printed, drilled and painted by famous people after being carefully carved by skilled craftsmen, and fan paintings worth hundreds of times can be found. China fan culture originated in ancient times. In the crystal hot summer, our ancestors hunted leaves or bird feathers for simple processing and used them to shade the sun and attract the wind.
So the fan is called blocking the sun, which is the origin of the fan. Fans have a history of three or four thousand years in China. After thousands of years of evolution and improvement, it has developed into hundreds of fan families. During the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties, the semi-upright "fan" was also called "door leaf" because it was shaped like a door. "Instant noodles" are made of thin bamboo strips, which are used by emperors and ordinary people.
