Stories and Art of Chinese Fans

    You may think you cannot live through summer without air conditioners． But in ancient China，hand fans were almost the only ones to help people keep cool．

    Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2，000 years ago． The fans came in different shapes，such as round and square． They were also made from all kinds of materials．Palm leaf fans were cheap and easy to make． Feather fans（羽毛扇） showed the owner's high status．Sandalwood（檀香）fans could send out a sweet smell．

    Later， hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down． They developed into art works，in which tuanshan （round fans）and zheshan（folded fans）were the most common．

    In the shape of a full moon，tuanshan was usually made of silk．They had beautiful birds and flowers on them．Women especially those in the imperial palace（皇宫），liked to use them．Meanwhile，men，especially the literati（文人），used zheshan．The literati liked them because zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them．It was a way for them to show off their ability in literature，painting and handwriting．Almost anything can be painted on zheshan．

    Today，Chinese people still use these fans，only not many people write or paint on them any more．Next time when you are waving a fan， you may think of the stories behind it．

    （4）然而，一些父母有担忧． They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers． But in fact， it is unnecessary． Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework． They only use the code when they hand in their work， which doesn't take them too much time． （5）As for teachers，it allows them to check the students' work at any time． And it is also an easy way to share homework with other students．
