China fan culture has a profound cultural background and is an integral part of traditional culture. It is closely related to bamboo culture and Buddhist culture. China has always been called the kingdom of fan manufacturing. The main materials of fans are: bamboo, wood, paper, fans, ivory, tortoise shell, jade, bird feathers, other palm leaves, betel nut leaves, wheat straw, cattail and so on. It can also be woven or made into various daily-use craft fans with beautiful appearance and exquisite structure, which are carefully carved by skilled craftsmen and carved, ironed, drilled or waved by celebrities.

China fan culture originated in ancient times. Our ancestors hunted plant leaves or bird feathers in hot summer and made simple processing to prevent sun exposure. So the fan is called a sunshade fan, and this evil black widow is the original source 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, but it can be roughly divided into two categories. Flat fans cannot be folded, but folding fans can be opened and closed freely. The flat fan comes from the barrier fan bamboo+Jie. During the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties, a semi-facade shaped like a single door became the mainstream of fans at that time, so it was also called household single door leaf. Noodles are made of thin bamboo strips, which are used by emperors and civilians.

The symmetrical acacia fan in the Western Han Dynasty is round. The Albizia fan is characterized by an ordinary white face, with the handle as the central axis, symmetrical left and right, like a full moon. Ten thousand fans are supported by bamboo and wood, with a round or oval face and thin silk paste. At that time, the ten thousand fans made in the Central Plains were the most exquisite, including the theory of Chu and Zhu of Wan Qi, that is, the ten thousand fans made by Lv Si. This kind of fan was very popular in the Han Dynasty, and poems were given to it, such as Ban Jie's fan poems, which were fresh and pure as frost and snow, cut into acacia fans, like the bright moon, shaking the breeze. After the appearance of this symmetrical round fan, it has been used throughout the ages and has become a traditional fan in China.

In the Qing Dynasty, besides the circular shape, there were rectangular, oblate, square, plum blossom, sunflower, bell, waist, horseshoe and so on. These departments are characterized by symmetry, lightness and powerful craftsmanship.

Folding fan, called gathering fan in ancient times, or scattered fan, or folding fan, is named because it can fan.
