Tuanshan/团扇 - Chinese Rigid Fans - by 霜天晓角李晶

The original Chinese fan, the circular tuanshan/团扇, is said to have been modeled after the full moon, and signifies union and happiness. This moon-shaped fan eventually came to take on many other different shapes, such as that of flowers. 

The tuanshan is made up of four parts - the handle, the cloth interior, and the two outer guards that hold the cloth in place. The cloth is embroidered/painted with scenes of nature: flowers, butterflies, birds, mountains and waters, etc. The ribs of the fan were usually made of animal bones, wood or bamboo, while the handle was engraved with beautiful designs and decorated with jade pendants.

“Being raised in an unstable household makes you understand that the world doesn’t exist to accommodate you, which… is something a lot of people struggle to understand well into their adulthood. It makes you realize how quickly a situation can shift, how danger really is everywhere. But crises when they occur, do not catch you off guard; you have never believed you lived under a shelter of some essential benevolence. And an unstable childhood makes you appreciate calmness and not crave excitement.”

— Curtis Sittenfeld
