The history of silk fan
1. The historical origin of fans is a tool for people to enjoy the cool in summer. In hot summer, it can bring people a burst of coolness. But since ancient times, China's fans have possessed the charm of works of art and unique national style.

China had fans in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties about 3,000 years ago. There are many kinds of fans in China, including paper fans, silk fans, sunflower fans, feather fans, bamboo woven fans and wheat straw fans. Fans are also square and round in shape, as well as plum blossom, begonia and sunflower.

There are many kinds of fans in our country. There are bamboo fans, wheat fans, betel nut fans, palm flower fans, silk fans, feather fans, wood carving fans, jade carving fans, tooth carving fans, sandalwood fans, folding fans, round fans, ten thousand fans, silk fans, palm flower fans, cocoon fans, wax fans, bamboo silk fans, printed paper fans and plastic fans. They are famous at home and abroad for their beautiful shapes and exquisite craftsmanship, and have become rare handicrafts.

A fan can enjoy fan calligraphy and painting, fan carving and fan carving alone, or as a whole. Fan painting and calligraphy take precision and neatness as the standard, and fan carving is elegant and vulgar. Fan painting and calligraphy complement each other, and the fan should be "spicy". The collection is mainly mounted with folding fans and folding fans and round fans, and the collection should be considered "true, refined and new".

Poems inscribed on the fan surface are a major feature of China fans. From ancient times to the present, many famous painters and calligraphers in China like "model of painting" and "model of painting", leaving many exquisite masterpieces.

Folding fan is the most common one in China, which is convenient and unique to hold in your hand. The most famous place to produce folding fans in China is Hangzhou. Hangzhou folding fans often use expensive materials as fan ribs. The famous black paper fans, sandalwood fans and ivory fans are not only the best in China, but also world-famous.

Fans have been loved by people for many years, which is the best expression of lyrical meaning, the witness of inheriting the wisdom of the Chinese nation, and the product of civilized art. For example, the fans of Tang Bohu and Lang Shining are the classic waves in the sea of art Wang Yang.

2. China's historical fan, first called "Feng", has a history of more than 3,000 years in China. It is said that there were already cattail fans and bamboo fans in China at that time. At first, people used them not to cool down, but as decorations. The cars of Wang and Hou in the Zhou Dynasty all had "fans" to cover the dust, which were called "barrier fans". Later feudal emperors and senior officials used obstacle fans to show their prestige during their ceremonial trips. According to Bao's Notes on Ancient and Modern Times, the earliest fan was a long-handled fan made without pheasant tail, but it was not used for cooling, but a ceremonial ornament. Held high by the holder to protect the emperor from the sun. After the Han Dynasty, bamboo fans in Hunan and silk fans in Shandong were widely used to enjoy the cool, and their forms gradually increased, from daily necessities to works of art. This is recorded in detail in the book Miscellanies of Xijing. According to records, most of the ten thousand fans at that time were made of silk and other silk fabrics. It is said that there was a high-tech craftsman named Ding Huan in Chang 'an at that time. He once made a big "seven-wheeled fan", which only needed one person to operate, so that people in the hall could feel cool. It seems that this kind of fan may be the originator of ceiling fan and desk fan in our life.

Legend has it that Yang Xiuzeng and Cao Cao painted fans in the Three Kingdoms. Therefore, fans are mainly used to drive away the summer heat and can also be used as handicrafts. People can paint, carve all kinds of flowers, birds and scenery on the fan, or write poems, which is quite elegant. Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in Jin Dynasty, saw an old woman selling hexagonal bamboo fans and wrote five words on each bamboo fan. The old woman was very unhappy. Wang Xizhi said, "But this is Wang Youjun's book, in order to get 100 yuan." The old woman sold it, and sure enough, people rushed to buy it. There are many famous masterpieces of painting fans in the history of China, such as the bamboo finch fan in Zhou Zhimian in Ming Dynasty, the dead west Western jackdaw fan in Tang Yin, the step fan in Shen Dynasty, the chrysanthemum fan in Qing Dynasty and the purple bird fan. Now, our country's fan is famous as a handicraft. Guo Moruo once wrote a poem for fan factory workers: the cool world comes from both hands. More clever than a ghost axe, more clever. Flying all over the world, overwhelming the west wind.

Fans can also show a certain psychological state of people. Su Dongpo described Zhou Yu's demeanor with the phrase "heroic and heroic hair, black silk scarf with feather fan". Du Mu described the girls' lively attitude and happy mood with the poem "waving a small fan at a firefly". Wang Jian, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in the Joking Order: "Four fans, four fans, the beauty will cover her face." Describe the sadness of a beautiful woman hiding her face with a fan. "The summer sun is like fire, and the wild Tian He rice is half withered. The farmer's heart is like soup, and the son Wang Sun shakes it. " With a fan, the face of an unearned exploiter can be increased, and people can be divided into three parts. Some literary works also use fans as tokens of love. "Peach Blossom Fan" recorded "a handle" and "an eternal token of love" for Li. Later, Li was resisted by the right to rape, and Fan was stained with blood. Yang Longyou touched it and painted it as a peach blossom fan.

3. The history and culture of fans The evolution of fan culture in China-

In ancient times, fans were nicknamed "Shake the Wind" and "Cool Friends". According to legend, they existed in the era of Yu Shun, and Cui Bao in the Jin Dynasty recorded "Shun Shi Wu Fan". But before the Sui Dynasty, fans were mostly made of silk, poultry feathers, bamboo strips and other materials. From Sui Dynasty to Tang Dynasty, paper fans appeared, and then precious varieties such as ivory fans and sandalwood fans were developed. The fan art in Suzhou and Hangzhou in Ming and Qing Dynasties represented the highest peak of China ancient craft fans: Suzhou fans were called "fragrant fans" and Hangzhou fans were called "elegant fans". Hangzhou Wang Fan Industry is the representative of "Elegant Fan" in Hangzhou.

Hangzhou Wangxingji Fan Village, the predecessor of Hangzhou Wangxingji Fan Industry, was founded by Wang Xingzhai and his wife in 1875 (the first year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty). At that time, Hangzhou Wang Xingji fan was compared with Zhejiang silk and Longjing tea with its exquisite craftsmanship, different functions and elegant taste, and was known as "the three wonders of Hangzhou" and famous all over the world. To this end, the reporter interviewed Wang, an expert in fan making.

Classification of fans

It is understood that there are many kinds of fans, which can be divided into six categories according to materials: folding fan, bamboo fan, silk fan, feather fan, sunflower fan and grass fan. According to the function of fans, they can be divided into sandalwood fans, round fans, hanging fans, silk dancing fans and advertising fans.

Black paper fan is a representative paper fan among "elegant fans". Smear with persimmon juice, the color is darker. Such a fan needs 86 processes from beginning to end.

The purpose of the fan

Experts told reporters: "With the development of the times, fans are no longer the traditional daily necessities used to fan the wind, and their uses are gradually increasing. For example, advertising fans, manufacturers can draw their own products on the fans and write down the functions of the products; Similarly, there are travel fans who can print maps of scenic spots or major scenic spots on the fans. These two kinds of fans have played a widely publicized role. "

In addition, fans are gradually transforming into works of art and collectibles. This is precisely because it combines weaving, sculpture, calligraphy and painting, embroidery and other technological skills, and can also be used as props for performing arts such as opera, dance and folk art. Sometimes it can even be used as a status symbol. For example, scholars in Chinese dramas often hold a folding fan in their hands.

Fans and celebrities

"Folding fan painting poetry began in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty, and fan painting sublimated the fan into another art form, which was cherished by collectors in past dynasties. Throughout the ages, many literati left poems and paintings on the fan, which were treasured and collected by people, and thus gave birth to another traditional art form-fan painting and calligraphy. Fan-shaped calligraphy and painting is a wonderful flower in China's traditional art, which has left rich and colorful Mo Bao and artistic treasures for future generations. Sometimes an ordinary fan, once inscribed and painted by a famous artist, is worth a hundred times. The exquisite craftsmanship of the fan complements the perfect combination of traditional calligraphy, poetry and painting. Since ancient times, many fan manufacturers can customize it. When Mei Lanfang, a master of Peking Opera, performed in Drunk Imperial concubine, the black paper flower fan in his hand was a real gold applique fan specially made by Wang for him. " Because of its unique culture, fans have a close relationship with cultural celebrities.

Trace the history of fans

China was the first country to use fans in the world, and later it was gradually introduced to many countries in Japan and Europe. The history of fans can be traced back to the ancient times of Yu Shun, because in the Ming Dynasty there was a record that fans were made by Shun. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, people made a "vegetarian fan" out of the gorgeous long tail of the male pheasant, and a "pheasant fan" with a long handle appeared. At this time, the fan became a symbol of the dignity of the emperor.

In the Tang Dynasty, the fan made of pheasant hair was changed into peacock hair. According to archaeological findings, the bronze pot of the Warring States period unearthed in Chengdu, Sichuan Province is engraved with the pattern of a servant holding a long-handled fan as the main fan, which is the earliest fan image found so far. From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a dust blower made of animal tail hair appeared, which was called a "hair fan". Feather fans made of white goose feathers are the most famous in the south of the Yangtze River and are often used as court tributes. In the Han dynasty, the silk industry began to develop, and a kind of "ten thousand fans" appeared, which was favored by ancient Chinese women. Around the Song Dynasty, folding fans, which are common today, appeared and gradually continued to this day, becoming the mainstream of society. Folding fan painting began in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty, which gave birth to another traditional art form-fan painting and calligraphy. Folding fans developed to Jiajing period in Ming Dynasty, and were divided into Hangfan, Suzhou Fan, Fan Ning and other schools.

4. How long is the history of fans? China fan culture originated in ancient times. In hot summer, our ancestors hunted plant leaves or poultry feathers and simply processed them to attract the wind from the sun. So fans are called "the sun is blocked", which is the original source of fans. Fans have a history of three or four thousand years in China. After thousands of years of evolution, improvement and perfection, it has developed into hundreds of fan families, but it is generally divided into two categories. A flat fan (that is, round fan, sunflower fan, wheat straw fan, tracts fan, etc.). ) cannot be folded, and the two folding fans can be folded freely. Flat fan comes from "obstacle fan" (palm fan) and "bamboo+agility" (fans made of bamboo chips were called "bamboo+agility" in ancient times). During the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties, a kind of semi-formal "instant noodles" shaped like a single door, so it was also called "household fan" and became the mainstream of fans at that time. "Instant noodles" are all made of thin bamboo strips, which are used by emperors and civilians. The ancient barrier fan and pheasant fan are a kind of etiquette appliance used to keep out the sun dust.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the symmetrical "Albizia fans" (also known as male fans, ten thousand fans and round fans) were still round in shape. Albizia fan is characterized by a plain white face with the handle as the central axis, which is as symmetrical as a full moon. Ten thousand fans are made of bamboo and wood, with round or oval faces and pasted with thin silk. At that time, Wan Fan made in the Central Plains was the most exquisite, and it was called "Chu Bamboo in Wan Qi", that is, Wan Fan made of Rusi Xiangzhu. This kind of fan was very popular in the Han Dynasty, and some poems praised it, such as Ban Jie's "Fan Poetry", "The newly cracked fan is as clean as frost and snow, cut into acacia fans, like the bright moon, move out the sleeves and shake it." After this symmetrical round fan appeared, it was used for generations and became the traditional fan type in China.

In the Qing dynasty, in addition to the circle, symmetrical sectors also included rectangle, oblate circle, square circle, plum blossom shape, sunflower shape, melon shape, waist shape and horseshoe shape ... These departments were characterized by symmetry, lightness and powerful craftsmanship.

Folding fan, called "gathering fan" in ancient times, or scattered fan, or folding fan, is named because its two ends can be integrated when folded. By the Southern Song Dynasty, the production of folding fans had reached a considerable scale. Folding fans prevailed in Ming dynasty, and the emperor ordered the craftsmen in the palace to imitate Korean fans and absorb foreign crafts to promote the development of domestic fans.

Fans originated in China and have a history of more than 3,000 years in China. It first appeared in the Yin Dynasty and was made of colorful pheasant hair, so it was called "barrier fan", so the word "fan" had the word "feather". At that time, the fans were not used to fan the wind and enjoy the cool, but to keep out the sun and sand when the emperor went out for inspection. After the Western Han Dynasty, fans began to enjoy the cool. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang gently shook the goose feather fan, and his clever plan came into being. The wind of the feather fan is slow and soft, which is not reasonable. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, feather fans were mostly made of silk, silk, silk and other fabrics to decorate embroidery. A moon-shaped fan is called "Wan Fan" or "Tuan Fan", also called "Acacia Fan". At that time, fans were rectangular, sunflower-shaped, plum-shaped, hexagonal and round; There are also handles made of wood, bamboo and bone; There are also fan pendants, tassels and jade ornaments. Landscape flowers are often embroidered on the fan, with different styles. The boudoir ladies hand-cranked round fans, and the breeze is Xu Lai, which can not only add the elegant and quiet manners of the host, but also reflect the innocent and lively personality of women.

5. China's historical fan, first called "wind", has a history of more than 3000 years in China.

It is said that there were already cattail fans and bamboo fans in China at that time. At first, people used them not to cool down, but as decorations. The cars of Wang and Hou in the Zhou Dynasty all had "fans" to cover the dust, which were called "barrier fans".

6. Historical Tuanfan of Tuanfan

Also known as "Miyayama" and "Wan Fan". This is a round fan with a handle. Before the Song Dynasty, fans were called round fans. Wang Changling's poem "Long Letter Sorrow" says: "Give a broom to open the church in the next autumn, and make the round fan wander." . "New Records of Fan Zhang" contains: plain silk is commonly used in modern times, stretching on both sides, or clay gold, porcelain blue, lake color, full moon, round waist and hexagon, all of which are famous calligraphy and painting, with plum blossom, brown bamboo as handle and painted and ivory outside. It's called "round fan". A circular or nearly circular sector with a short handle. The round fan was invented by China, also known as Wan Fan, and was later introduced to Japan. Folding fans were invented in Japan and later introduced to China.

Round or nearly round, the handle is not long, mostly worn by women in the Tang Dynasty. China round fans usually draw pictures of ladies on the fan surface. Japan used to perform geisha, and ancient Japan used it as the national emblem. The round fan was invented by China, also known as Wan Fan, and was later introduced to Japan. Folding fans were invented in Japan and later introduced to China. The wisdom of Japanese and China people has enriched human life.

Reunion dinner was introduced to Japan from the Tang Dynasty in Nara era. In Japan, the court nobles were the first to use round fans. It was not until the end of the Heian period that ordinary people were allowed to use it. At that time, no matter in China or Japan, there were only round and square round fans, and they were widely used, so they were called round fans.

When Japan entered the Muromachi era, a military round fan made of iron and leather appeared as a tool for commanding positions in wartime. The fan face of this military round fan is painted with red paint or gold and silver powder, with stars, the sun and the moon, and the handle end of the round fan is decorated with spikes. In sumo wrestling, the military equipment used by the referee is in the shape of a round fan used in the battlefield.

In the late edo period, Japanese urban residents used round fans to enjoy the cool. With the prosperity of Japanese Summer Festival and Kasahara Festival, round fans are widely used. Fan-shaped lanterns are one of the three major sacrifices in Northeast Japan. It is said that the Three Kingdoms of China have the image of samurai painted on fans.

In the era of Lu Yuan, the round fan became an indispensable accessory for Japanese women to enjoy the cool at night. The relationship between Tuanfan and residents is getting closer and closer, and businessmen begin to sell Tuanfan as a commodity in the market. This also further promoted the development of round fans. Silver round fan and silk round fan appeared one after another, and became extremely particular. As a result, the round fan has developed from practicality to ornamental and decorative. Therefore, there are more types of round fans. If there are large fire-fighting fans, painting waterproof fans, and fans for air supply and fire adjustment. League fans related to people's beliefs also came into being. First of all, in southern China and Okinawa, there is a kind of round fan made of Malva leaves, which is mainly used by witches. There are also fans of Fagui and Tiangou for religious beliefs. As we all know, "Edo Flower" has a fire. In order to avoid fire, people used to be superstitious and hung a round fan at the door to avoid fire.

7. What are the famous fans, wind lures and summer necessities in the history of China? There is a nickname called a good friend, and the ancient poem goes: "lead an honest and clean life, and cool friends attract the breeze." From the perspective of folk circulation and influence, there are four most famous fans, namely, Zhuge Liang's goose feather fan, Princess Tiefan's banana fan, Li's peach blossom fan and the broken fan of Jigong Living Buddha. These four fans represent wisdom, magic, love and justice respectively.

1. Zhuge Liang always wears a gossip robe and holds a famous fan feather fan. Why does Zhuge Liang always like to hold a feather fan? Whenever there is something difficult to solve, Zhuge Liang will come up with brilliant countermeasures as long as he gently shakes the feather fan. According to legend, Zhuge Liang promised Liu Bei to go out to bid farewell to his father-in-law Huang Shi, who had slaughtered two big white geese for his son-in-law's farewell dinner. He also specially made a fan out of goose feathers, telling him that geese are the most alert and will know if there is any movement. May the goose feather fan remind Zhuge Liang not to forget the word "alert" Since then, Zhuge Liang's fans have never left his hand, and he has also worked hard to help Han Shu in political power. He was praised as "unparalleled since the Han Dynasty, the first person in three generations". I think this fan still has some credit.

2. Princess Iron Fan's banana fan is a magic fan, which is not only different in size, but also super powerful. Even the well-connected the Monkey King was fanned thousands of miles away. As early as that year, the flaming mountain blocked the way for Tang Priest's master and apprentice to learn from the West, and only this model can be resolved. So, the Monkey King fought with Princess Iron Fan, and finally borrowed a fan to put out the fire, turning the hot land into fertile land. Fan is a famous magic fan with extraordinary magic, but it is a weapon to kill people in the hands of bad people and a tool to benefit the people in the hands of good people. Fortunately, in the end, the banana fan did a good thing, which can be described as a complete merit and worthy of its magical power.

3. What kind of fan is the Peach Blossom Fan? Li's Peach Blossom Fan is a tragic romantic film. Although it smells like the powder of brothel smoke, it also has the lofty integrity of national hatred and family feud. It is shameful to watch the peach blossom cry blood, but it is heartbreaking to wait for many years. There is no peach blossom on the fan, but there is true love in the world. That drop of blood and tears, that condemnation and resentment again and again, is not a scene that should be a joke, but the disappointment of love and the hopelessness of serving the country, which makes the image of fireworks girl and small fans very tall. A head-on collision of grief and indignation, a bloody peach blossom fan and a few peach blossoms will always bloom in the hearts of later audiences, making those who claim to be modest and polite ashamed.

The fan of Jigong Living Buddha may be the worst fan in the world, but this famous fan in China is the embodiment of the most justice. No matter whether there is a man in the Kikuji Palace or not, no matter whether he has this fan, as long as he hears the humorous song "A broken shoe, a broken hat, a broken fan", everyone will feel boundless warmth in his heart. It can be seen that everyone has a heart for goodness, and those who do good deeds respect it. There are many unfair things in the world, but there is only one person who helps the public. Only a few people can be saved by shaking their fans when they see the road is unfair. However, the fan that broke the cool breeze and damaged the nickname of "cool friend" can brush away the dust in the hearts of the deceased and let the seeds of justice take root and grow sturdily there.

There are thousands of fans in the world. Now, functionally, even the best fan is not as good as an electric fan, and even the best electric fan is not as good as an air conditioner. However, if you are outdoors in hot summer, not to mention the air-conditioning electric fan, it is a leaf that can blow the breeze, which will also bring comfort and joy to people. It can be seen that the quality of fans still depends on the environment and attitude towards life ~

8. Who knows that the history and fashion of Hangzhou silk are changeable, sometimes it is green, fat, red and thin, and sometimes it is Tang suit and Hu suit. Those rich, luxurious and bizarre styles are always like smoke clouds, and then they drift away after a gust of wind.

However, no matter how the fashion changes, there is always a kind of fabric that haunts the skirt like a poem, creating brilliance and mystery with its graceful and elastic texture, and that is silk. Among the many silk producing areas, one is famous all over the world, and it is called the "Silk House", and that is Hangzhou.

As the "Silk House", Hangzhou has a long history. Hangzhou is a famous historical and cultural city with rich cultural background. Hangzhou silk is famous at home and abroad. It can almost be said that silk has become a part of the history of Hangzhou and even Zhejiang Province.

Hangzhou silk has a long history, which can be traced back to Liangzhu culture four or five thousand years ago. At that time, the ancestors of Hangzhou had been able to plant mulberry, raise silkworms, weave silks and make primitive reeling tools. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Gou Jian, the King of Yue, took "rewarding agriculture and mulberry" as his strategy to enrich the country.

By the Tang Dynasty, the silk rich in Hangzhou had gained the reputation of "the highest in the world" and became a court tribute. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou was known as the "Silk House" because of the grand occasion of "the sound of looms is heard by others" and "Ms. Du Min, Luo Qi is like a cloud".

1000 years ago, the silk produced in Hangzhou was exported to Southeast Asia and other countries, and the "Silk Road" was laid on land and at sea. As the "Silk House", Hangzhou has a profound cultural heritage and a popular base.

Silk brocade in Hangzhou is a symbol of exquisite and harmonious beauty and has the reputation of "flower of oriental art". They are not only simple consumer goods, but also bear the life interest and artistic sentiment of Hangzhou people. When Kyle Polo visited Hangzhou in the early Yuan Dynasty, he said, "Hangzhou produces a lot of silk, and most local residents are always covered with silk and brocade.

"At that time, more than half of the merchants in Hangzhou were engaged in silk trade, as far away as Europe and America, and ships carrying silks and satins flowed endlessly. What is "home" is home. The rich varieties and famous brands of Hangzhou silk make the title of "home" continue to this day and become louder and louder.

After years of development, Hangzhou silk has formed a supporting production capacity from cocoon supply, reeling, silk weaving, printing and dyeing, silk clothing to silk weaving machinery. Perennial production of silk, satin, cotton, spinning, twill, yarn, velvet, silk and so on 14 categories, more than 200 varieties, more than 2000 colors. There are many brands of silk, such as Du Jinsheng, Wanshili, Keshi Ya and Xidebao. These are world famous silk products.

Together with Hangzhou silk, there are also Hangzhou fans and umbrellas that are also used as craft ornaments. Hangzhou fans are beautifully decorated and made. For thousands of years, it has been refined into a craft treasure to show the exquisite culture of Hangzhou.

Umbrella is an ordinary rain gear, but in Hangzhou, it has entrusted and interpreted thousands of feelings. The silk umbrella in the West Lake danced and swayed a lot of cultural customs in Hangzhou. Today, you can see the magnificent China Silk Museum and China Silk City in Hangzhou. Silk is as mysterious as a dream and as beautiful as a poem, but it lives by your side and in the streets of Hang Cheng.
