What is the meaning and symbol of the fan?

In ancient folk, fans can also be used as evil spirits or sex objects. But before the Ming dynasty, fans were given as gifts between men, representing the friendship between the two sides.

After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, fans became one of the gifts that men gave women. The ancients often liked to write poems and paint on the fan, so the meaning of each fan corresponds to poetry. With the progress of the times, the original role of fans has withdrawn from the life of modern people. Now it's more because of the wealth and elegance as a gift to others.
