Black paper fan:
Black paper fan is the most famous traditional brand-name product among Wang fans. Because of its exquisite selection of materials and fine production, it can be called a fine product in the fan and is known as "Su Black". At that time, Wang's founder was an expert in making senior black paper fans. His wife, Chen Ying, is good at applying decals and scattering gold on black paper fans. As a special product of Hangzhou, the black paper fan made by the couple has been paid tribute to the imperial court many times, so the black paper fan is also called "tribute fan".
Black paper fans are made of brown bamboo from Guangxi and Guilin, and pure mulberry paper from Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang Province, and painted with several layers of mountain persimmon paint from Zhuji. The black paper fan is hand-made, and it has to go through 86 unique technological processes such as bone paste, folding, coloring, polishing and shaping. Only then can we break through the "three customs": rain is impervious, exposure is not warped, paper is not broken, and color is not faded, which is also commonly known as "an umbrella and a half".
The fan decoration of the black paper fan is also very exquisite, and its artistic processing includes clay gold, clay silver, clipping, painting, calligraphy and other forms. In recent years, a new generation of artists boldly innovate, tap the essence of traditional fan technology with modern ideas, and apply various techniques to a fan, especially the innovation of calligraphy and painting and the adoption of new materials and techniques in painting, which makes the traditional famous fan-old black paper fan more and more vital.

Fan bones are called "Touqing" and "Qing Er" because of their different materials, and also have different processing techniques and accuracy, which can be divided into "Touyu", "Eryu", "Touyou", "Lacquered Bone" and "Shuimo Bone". The finished fan bone is dark brown or emerald color, and the brightness can be distinguished. The big side is generally carved with bamboo patterns, and exquisite carvings include flowers and birds, landscapes, calligraphy, inlaid silver lines and so on. The ribs of high-grade white paper fans are made of precious materials such as mahogany, chicken wing wood, sandalwood and ivory. , and the processing is more refined and the manufacturability is stronger.

At the same time, the decorative arts of faceted, inlaid ivory, inlaid mother-of-pearl, inlaid sandalwood, inlaid paste and carved lacquer are applied to a fan bone, and the technology is very exquisite, which makes the fan bone extremely exquisite and beautiful and achieves a high artistic effect. In addition, we also made a fuss about the modeling of white paper fan ribs, focusing on the modeling of fan heads, and developed fancy fan heads, bottle mouth fan heads, round head fan heads, pointed fan heads and square head fan heads. , greatly enriched the model bone culture and model varieties.
High-grade white paper fans generally have alum surface and silk surface. Alum noodles are made of high-quality rice paper, which is carefully made by the fan makers. The fan made of alum has become an excellent carrier for painting and calligraphy lovers to splash ink. Sprinkle thick or thin gold foil on the alum surface, which keeps the traditional characteristics of Hangzhou Bangfan with gold paper as the fan surface and makes the fan surface more gorgeous.
