In ancient times, fans were nicknamed "Shake the Wind" and "Cool Friends". According to legend, they existed in the era of Yu Shun, and Cui Bao in the Jin Dynasty recorded "Shun Shi Wu Fan".

Fan culture has a long history and is an important part of Chinese culture. Fans are closely related to people's lives. There are many nicknames and some are elegant.

What is the origin of fans?

Fans appeared in the Yin Dynasty, and they were called "four tones of sand" and were made of colorful pheasant feathers. It is not difficult to see from the glyph that "feather" refers to feathers, and "concubine" refers to concubines, which means standing by and spraying, so there is a "feather fan standing on both sides of the master like a concubine", which is the original fan. Such a fan is not used to cool down, but a ceremonial ornament, shielding the emperor from the sun.

Fan refers to the fan in the pre-Qin classics. For example, the pre-Qin classic "Guan Zi Shi Si Pian" said: "Don't fan the hat in summer", which means that it is forbidden to fan the hat in summer, because we don't want to artificially interfere with the "Wang Yang Qi".

There is also a saying in Tamia Liu Volume II, Li Jun, that the general "does not listen to autumn in winter, does not fan in summer, and does not cover the rain".

All this shows that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, fans already had the name "Fan". It is said that the earliest fans were used to keep out the sun and dust when traveling, as a ceremonial ceremony for emperors to travel.

In the Han dynasty, fans gradually became a cool thing in daily life to shake the wind and escape the heat. "Walking" refers to a small fan that moves with its feet. Compact and portable, it is one of the indispensable small objects in ancient people's lives.

With the changes of the times, the style of fans is constantly changing, but it has always been loved by people. Now there are more and more kinds of fans, including folding fans, sector fans, twelve fans and so on. Not only that, modern fans have added many new elements, such as electric fans and water jet fans. Make people more relaxed and comfortable in hot summer.

In a word, fans played an important role in people's daily life in ancient times. Whether it is "shaking the wind" or "walking", it still has irreplaceable value and significance today. Let's take it with us and enjoy the cool breeze!
