Chinese Calligraphy on folding fans

Sending children to painting class this week, waiting time to see the teacher giving calligraphy class to adult class. I was very interested, and I auditioned a section in the past. This class is about traditional Chinese culture, writing calligraphy with a brush on a folding fan. It looks old-fashioned.

Although I can't write with a brush, even the pen is a mess. But I'm very interested in history, and if I don't have a job, I'm interested in studying history on my own. Regarding Chinese history and culture, the more representative ones are writing poems and painting on fans. In ancient times, scholars liked to bring a folding fan, not for cooling, but for showing off.

Various ancient, martial arts film and television dramas also have such scenes. The heroes wear white robes and hold folding fans. They appear graceful in the camera. The most representative is Zheng Shaoqiu's Chu Liuxiang. This image is portrayed incisively and vividly. Folding fans can be said to be the works of art of ancient Chinese culture.

A blank folding fan itself is worthless. If a calligraphy master writes on it, the value will be doubled immediately. Wang Xizhi of the Jin Dynasty once encountered an old man who worked hard to make a living by selling fans, so he kindly wrote on the fan, and a group of people rushed to buy the fan that no one cared about at once.

I asked my calligraphy teacher to give me a fan with an inscription, and I can also take this fan out and put it on.
