Chinese fans range from the most ordinary palm-leaf fans to ceremonial fans painted with dragon and phoenixes for imperial families and nobles, folding fans of calligraphy and paintings by literati and court ladies' favorite round fans, all of which embody rich and colorful materials, styles and craftsmanship. One small fan is a very useful instrument for the Chinese; it can be used to fan away summer heat with cool breeze and show off one's social status. This book introduces a variety of Chinese fans, their crafting processes, and moreover the Chinese culture embedded in these fans.
