“Shaken in hand and a cool breeze embraces you,” this is one description of the cooling power of the delicate Chinese fan. The history of Chinese fan can be dated to over 3,000 years ago, around the Shang Dynasty. When talking about fans today, we usually refer to the exquisite folding fan, which is said to be introduced to China from Japan during the late Song Dynasty. If a famous artist painted the fan, it could be worth a lot of money. For example, a folding fan painted with running script of Chinese calligraphy by Zhang Daqian, a famous Chinese painter, sold for HK$252,000. And many contemporary painters, like Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, are known as elite fan-painting artists.Today, there are over 500 kinds of fans in China, of which the sandalwood fan from Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, the damask silk fan from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, the fire-painting fan from Guangdong Province and the bamboo thread fan are known as the four most famous fans of China.
