Recopilación: Chinese Fan

Traditional Chinese fans are exquisite cultural artifacts blending artistry, craftsmanship, and symbolism. Crafted from materials like bamboo, silk, sandalwood, or paper, they feature intricate hand-painted scenes (landscapes, florals, birds), calligraphy, or embroidered motifs. Classic styles include the rigid round silk fan (团扇), symbolizing harmony, and the folding pleated fan (折扇), often carried by scholars as a symbol of elegance.
