One of the five ancient artifacts in summer: the round fan.

It is said that there is a fan dance in the recently hit online drama "Flower Dream Road", which makes the whole network experience amazing.

Charming and graceful, half-veiled and half-veiled, and Liu Yifei's immortal temperament are really amazing, swaying a "round fan" of China beauty for thousands of years.

Tuanfan, also known as Wanshan and Gongshan, is a typical symbol in China culture and appears in almost all costume dramas.

It is a personal prop for ancient women to travel, expressing shyness with a spring and toothless smile in powder;

In ancient times, it was a necessary dowry for men and women to get married, which meant happy reunion and dignified manners and customs;

It is a ceremonial gesture of the ancient royal court, symbolizing dignity and inviolable rights;

It is an elegant plaything of ancient literati, showing politeness and momentum.

Of course, its most essential and universal function is: summer artifact.

In the past thousands of years when there were no air conditioners and electric fans, the most commonly used method for heatstroke prevention and cooling in summer was "a fan in hand, a wisp of cool breeze in Xu Lai". Therefore, the nickname of the fan is also called: cool friend, Renfeng brother.

One summer, Li, the son-in-law of Huang Tingjian, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty (nephew of Li, a famous painter in the Northern Song Dynasty), specially gave Huang Tingjian five "summer artifacts", the first of which was a "round fan".

Huang Tingjian wrote a poem for this, which is very interesting, and almost wrote a fan's love-hate voice. I read it to you in the first person as a fan:

You see how smart I am, like a lovely bright moon; Swaying between, you can breeze Xu Lai, and strive to become the explosion of this summer.

Whether you are comfortably lying in Ge You's bed or sitting naked on a pony, I will always be by your side to relieve the heat for you. And when you put the leftover chilled watermelon beside you, I spared no effort to drive away all kinds of mosquitoes and flies for it.

Moreover, as long as anyone in your family needs it, I am almost on call; I treat my wife, children and husband and wife equally, impartially and half-heartedly.

However, however, I am so willing to take care of your family's cold and warm, and your precious time is only one summer. As soon as summer is over, you abandon me in a dark corner, regardless of my warmth and coldness.

Do you think fans would really think so if they had brains?

Fortunately, the voice of "Brother Renfeng" was finally heard by the sympathetic literati and became their perennial "plaything". Moreover, there is a unique elegance in the poems, songs and paintings of literati. This elegance can be summed up in five words, namely: qi, frugality, wind, bone and goodness.

The fan hides in winter and comes out in summer, which is a matter of solar terms and is called "Qi".

Fan bones are mostly composed of bamboo joints, which are called "joints"

The fan gently shakes the breeze, called "wind";

No matter what shape the fan is, it is supported by a backbone frame, which is called "bone";

The fan is homophonic and kind, which is called "goodness"

Therefore, upholding "goodness" has become the "integrity and integrity" of China literati.
