Why did men in ancient times each take a fan?

About goose feather fan, folk legend has it that Huang Chengyan's young lady Huang Yueying is not ugly, but a very smart and beautiful girl with outstanding talent. Huang Chengyan was afraid of the young man who has the ability to see and not recognize the Jingshan jade, so he called the girl "a ugly". Huang Yueying, the clown, was not only a great writer, but also had excellent martial arts skills, and she had studied with a famous master. When she came down from the mountain, the master gave her a goose feather fan with the words "Ming" and "Liang". The two characters are also densely packed with strategies for attacking the city and ruling the country. And told her, the name has the word bright, that is, your husband. Later, Huang Chengyan's son-in-law was Zhuge Liang, the future prime minister of Shu, who had the words "Ming" and "Liang" in his name before he left Longzhong and waited for the time to know the three points of the world. When they got married, Huang Yueying gave Zhuge Liang a goose feather fan as a gift. Kong Ming loved the goose feather fan as if it were a pearl in his palm and was inseparable from him. He did this not only to express the sincere and undying love between husband and wife, but also to skillfully utilize the strategy on the fan. So no matter what spring, summer, fall and winter, always hands away from the fan.

Ching dynasty, during the Kangxi period, Xiangyang Observation Envoy Zhao Hongen in the "Zhuge grass hut poem" wrote: "fan shaking the war moon three tripods, the stone dark cloud eight array map", is enough to prove that Zhuge Liang hand holding goose feather fan function and his hands do not leave the fan reason.

There is also a saying that `

Kong Ming when he was young, with the future of the speech, pleased when the eyebrows fluttered, can not control their emotions, his future wife Huang looked at his shortcomings pointed out, said that the great man should pay attention to control their emotions, to be happy and angry with the color, so Huang to Zhuge made a goose feather fan, so that he has some shade, and can always remember she is the admonition. From this point of view, although Huang's ugly, she really is not an ordinary woman, Zhuge married her also has his reason.
