In ancient times, Emperor Shun invented the "Five Ming Fan".
Jin Cuibao's "Ancient and Modern Notes: Public Opinion": Shun's special "Wuming Fan" is used to "open up the audio-visual, and seek sages to assist themselves".
Five. The Ming fan is believed to be the earliest source of the Chinese fan. What is a "Five Bright Fan"? It is related to Emperor Shun, one of the Five Emperors. According to the Southern Dynasty Song Pei Chu's "Historical Records" collection explanation, Emperor Shun's "eyes are heavy pupils", that is, the ancients called "four.
Ming", as the saying goes, is that Emperor Shun has 4 eyes, so Emperor Shun named "Chonghua". There are "four Ming" is different from ordinary people, and opening up the way of speech and recruiting talents is like getting "one Ming", which is called "Five Ming".
According to Jin Cuibao's "Ancient and Modern Notes, Public Opinion", after Emperor Shun accepted Emperor Yao's Zen concession, he specially made the "Five Ming Fan" to show the attitude of "opening up the public and seeking sages to assist themselves".
Although the legend of the Wuming Fan reflects the good political aspirations of the ancient rulers, from the use specifications of the "palace fan" that evolved from the Wuming fan in later generations, the original function of the fan is very simple, which is to block the sun and cover the wind and dust when traveling, which is no different from the function of the umbrella, so the palace fan is also known as "barrier sun" and "barrier fan".
The barrier fan is a kind of long-handled large fan, in pairs, made of colored silk, painted with moire, held by the waiter, in order to reflect the majesty of the king. After Yu received Zen, because the Wuming fan was a luxury thing, it was once banned, and it was used again in the Shang Dynasty. The five bright fans used by Yin Wang Wuding are very particular, and the pheasant tail is selected to make it, so it is called "pheasant tail fan", and the name of "five bright fan" is no longer popular.
Business. After the death of Zhou Xing, King Wu of Zhou also used a pheasant tail fan, but it was called "翣". It is a symbol of status and status, as a prestige prop, to the feudal era, the emperor's use of pheasant tail fan has become a customization, but the emperor travels less.
The thing that can't be honored: two big fans are raised, which means that they are on the move. At this time, the fan only has majesty, and it has long been without the meaning of "opening up the hearing and hearing widely, and seeking sages to assist themselves" in ancient times.

China was the first country in the world to use fans, and it gradually spread to Japan and many other countries in Europe. The history of the fan can be traced back to the ancient Yu Shun era, because in the Ming Dynasty, there is a record of "Shun made a fan". In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, people made "Zhai fans" with the long and colorful tails of male pheasants, and "pheasant fans" with long handles appeared.
At this time, the fan became a symbol of imperial prestige.
In the Tang Dynasty, fans made of pheasant feathers were changed to peacock feathers. According to archaeological discoveries, the Warring States period copper kettle unearthed in Chengdu, Sichuan Province is engraved with a servant holding a long-handled fan to fan the wind for the master, which is the earliest fan image found at present. From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a whisk made of animal tail hair, which was called "hair fan".
The Jiangnan region is most famous for its feathers made of white goose feathers, and it was often used as a tribute to the imperial court. In the Han Dynasty, the silk weaving industry began to develop, and the "fan fan" appeared, which was favored by ancient Chinese women. Around the time of the Song Dynasty, folding fans that are common today appeared, and gradually continued to this day and became the mainstream of society.
The inscription poem of folding fan painting began in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, which gave birth to another traditional art form——— fan painting and calligraphy. The folding fan developed to the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and was divided into Hangzhou fan, Su fan, Ning fan and other schools.

The fan behind the king is one of these rituals.
The fan used in different occasions is different, and the texture of the fan surface and the size of the fan are clearly specified.
In the presentation of some film and television works, we also see that these fans also play a certain practical role in real life.
