Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2,000 years ago. Then, they were almost the only way to drive the heat away. The Chinese character for the word "fan" has the same sound as the character for “ kindness". Thus, fans are viewed as good luck, charms and expressions of generosity.

The fans came in different shapes and were made from all kinds of materials. Palm （棕桐） leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans showed the owner's high position. Sandalwood( 檀香） fans could send out a sweet smell.

Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool people down. They developed into works of art, in which tuanshan-round fans and zheshan-folded fans were the most common.

In the shape of a full moon, the round fans symbolize union and happiness. They had beautiful embroidery(M 绣） featuring birds and flowers on them, representing wealth and longevity. Women, especially those in the imperial palace （皇宫） , liked to use them. Such fans were very popular in the Han Dynasty(202 BC-AD 204).

Folding fans were first produced in the Song Dynasty (960 一 1279) and became popular in the Ming Dynasty(1368 一 1644). They have a history of symbolizing scholarship. Men, especially the literati （文人） , used zheshan because they were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a way for them to show off their skills in literature, painting and calligraphy （书法） . Many things were painted on zheshan, but the most popular choice was usually landscapes.

Today, Chinese people still use these fans, though not many people write or. paint on them any more.
