Folding fans emerged during the Zhou Dynasty, over 2,000 years ago, for cooling purposes. In the Han Dynasty, affordable bamboo and cattail-leaf fans gained popularity. The Song Dynasty saw the introduction of silk fans, favored by palace women, evolving into various shapes like round, oval, and floral designs.
Later on, scholars adorned these folding fans with calligraphy and paintings, turning them into essential exquisite accessories that showcased their social status, aesthetic preferences, and accomplishments.
