Chinese Traditional Fans

What's Zodiac in Chinese Culture?

In Chinese culture, the Zodiac is a system that is based on a twelve-year cycle, with each year being associated with a specific animal. These animals include the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.

Each animal is said to have certain characteristics and traits that are associated with it. For example, the Rat is known for being quick-witted and resourceful, while the Ox is known for being strong and dependable. People born in a certain year are believed to inherit these characteristics, and their fortunes and personalities are said to be influenced by the animal associated with their birth year.

The Chinese Zodiac is used in many aspects of Chinese culture, including astrology, fortune telling, and even in everyday life. For example, some people may choose to name their children based on their Zodiac animal, or consult their Zodiac when making important decisions such as when to get married or start a business.

What's the Function of Chinese Folding Fan?

  1. Cooling: One of the primary functions of Chinese folding fans is to provide relief from the heat. The fans are made of lightweight materials such as bamboo, paper, or silk, which allow air to circulate and provide a cooling breeze. In hot and humid climates, such fans are an essential accessory to help combat the heat.
  2. Decoration: Chinese folding fans are often beautifully decorated with intricate designs, calligraphy, and paintings. They are not only functional but also serve as an elegant accessory that can be used to complement one's outfit or add a decorative touch to a room.
  3. Communication: In ancient China, Chinese folding fans were used as a means of communication. People would use them to convey messages, express emotions, or even engage in secret conversations. By folding and unfolding the fan in certain ways or using specific gestures, a person could communicate a range of meanings.
  4. Rituals: Chinese folding fans are also used in various religious and cultural ceremonies. For instance, they are used in traditional Chinese weddings, where the bride carries a red fan to symbolize happiness and luck.
