How do fans fold and shrink?

The folding method of the origami fan is as follows:

1. Fold the square paper diagonally to get a triangle.

2. Fold the right end of the triangle in half to the left, invert the triangle, and then fold the right end in half to the left to make a V-shaped crease.

3. Bend the first skeleton of the fan along the V-shaped crease from the middle, that is, embed the first skeleton into the second skeleton. Then bend the first skeleton back and forth along the second skeleton and the third skeleton in turn until all skeletons are embedded in the adjacent skeletons.

4. Finally, unfold the fan, straighten the hinge and fix it with clips.

First, the folding method of bamboo fans

1. Turn on the bamboo fan and keep it on.

2. Turn the fan from top to bottom and turn the fan 90 degrees clockwise. Cut off the handle of the fan, leaving about 2 to 3 cm of fan bones and willow leaves.

3. Insert the fan bone at the fan handle into the ring at the bottom of the fan.

4. Bend the willow-shaped end of each fan bone down from the top of the fan in turn, and then turn it around in a reasonable position after bending, so that the fan handle leans against the front of the fan.

5. Finally, adjust the posture of each fan bone so that the lines on the fan face are symmetrically clamped until they are not loose.

Expanding knowledge-fan culture

1, ordinary fans are generally made of wood or bamboo skeleton and paper, cloth or sawdust. The traditional "round fan" is made of decorative materials such as silk, bone and jade.

2. In Japanese culture, fans are endowed with high artistic value, especially when holding ceremonies such as flower path and tea ceremony, delicate fans are often used.

3. In the traditional culture of China, fans are also an important gift. Among literati, sending fans is a common communication etiquette. Ancient fans often had patterns, poems and other cultural elements, among which "auspicious patterns" were the most common, such as dragon and phoenix patterns and flower and bird patterns.

Fans are also widely used in modern life. For example, when the weather is hot in summer, you can use a fan to cool down and use clothes for beauty, which has a strong sense of fashion. In addition, various fans with specific functions have been introduced one after another, such as electric portable fans and air conditioning fans.

In Japan, some unique ways of using fans are also loved by people. For example, immediately cut a watermelon and fan the watermelon juice directly into a friend's mouth. This is called "drinking watermelon juice with a fan". This way has become a cooperative game and an interesting social activity.
