中国的扇子驰名中外,至今已有三、四千年的历史。早在殷周之时,扇子的制做多以羽毛为原料,主要用于帝王的仪仗和装饰,亦可障尘蔽日。春秋战国时代,随着我国丝织手工业的发展已制有“纨扇”。南齐时,随着造纸技术的发明,“折扇”的使用日益广泛,普遍用于消暑纳凉,制扇工艺也越加精湛。历代许多名人的诗词、书画更为扇子增添了艺术的魅力,形成独特的“扇文化”。 China’s fans are famous at home and abroad, and there have been three or four thousand years of history. As early as Yin Zhou, the fan system used feathers as raw materials and was mainly used for emperors’ ceremonial rites and decorations, as well as obstructing daylight. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with the development of China’s silk handicraft industry, there was a “fan fan”. In the Southern Qi Dynasty, with the invention of papermaking technology, the use of “folding fans” became more and more widespread, and they were widely used for cooling and cooling, and the fan-making process was even more exquisite. Many famous celebrities of poetry, calligraphy and painting have added fans to the charm of art and formed a unique “fan culture.”
