Let’s talk about the types of fans.

Fans can be divided into folding fans and wan fans in terms of form; according to fan materials, there are banana fans, paper fans, wooden fans, silk fans, feather fans, wheat straw fans, etc.; according to their uses, they can be divided into Japanese fans. Use fans, craft fans, ceremonial fans, dance fans, etc.

Folding fans are the most common form of fans because they can be opened and closed freely. They are not only the most practical, but also the best type of fan to collect. Wan Fans are also available today, but they are less common now. To see Wan Fans nowadays, it is best to refer to the paintings of ladies - Lin Daiyu with slightly frowning eyebrows and holding Wan Fans is the most classic image of Wan Fans used in ancient times.

The banana fan is a fan made from slightly processed banana leaves. It is simple to make, cheap and practical. However, it cannot be folded at will and is inconvenient to store. It is only common in rural areas. There are certain technological processes and specifications for the production of paper fans, and the fan surface is usually decorated with calligraphy and painting. In addition to being used to fan the wind, it also has certain collection value. It is the most noteworthy type of fan. Wooden fans are generally made of fragrant wood chips. In addition to their use value, they also have high collection value. Before the emergence of folding fans, damask silk was widely used to make dandelion fans. Nowadays, it is also used to make folding fans. Any fan made of damask silk can be called a damask fan. Feather fans are fans made of bird tail feathers. Because Zhuge Liang is holding a feather fan in his artistic image, fans made of this material are somewhat a symbol of wisdom. Wheat straw fans are made from a section of wheat straw close to the ears of wheat. Each fan requires more than 200 wheat straws, which is very labor-intensive and time-consuming. However, in the past few years, my grandma made dozens of them every year. We, the children of our grandchildren.

A daily fan is a fan that is used daily when the weather is hot. There is nothing to say about it. Craft fans are not for practical purposes, but for elegance and singularity. They vary greatly in size and length. They are the fans with the most variety and the most collectible value. Ceremonial fans are often seen in the era when there were different levels of hierarchy. The most representative example is that when the emperor appears in costume dramas, he usually has this kind of fan behind him.

Dance fans are usually decorated with silk edges, and when danced, they are erratic and very beautiful. In addition to being used for folk performances such as Yangko, they are also used on the professional stage of fan dance. There are also some fans with special functions, such as fans made of steel used as weapons, advertising fans used as information carriers, etc.

No matter whether there are overlapping or not, and no matter how many omissions there are, there are probably only so many types of fans. If anyone thinks it is inaccurate, please leave a message to exchange
