Stories and Art of Chinese Fans
You may think you cannot live through summer without air conditioners（空调）. 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（棕叶扇）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 anymore.
Next time when you are waving a fan, you may think of the stories behind it.

范文Dear Tom
Glad to hear that you are coming to China during the Spring Festival. Let me tell you something about it.
The Spring Festival often falls in January or February. people often clean their houses before the festival. We think it can clean off the bad things in the old year. During the festival we always get together with our family to have a big meal. The traditional food is sure dumplings. What’s more, we also visit our relatives with gifts. When you eat with a family, you are supposed to learn about the table manners in China. First, we aren’t supposed to start eating all the people arrive. Second, you are not expect to eat first if there are older people at the table. Another thing is that, it’s impolite to stick your chopsticks into the food.
I hope these are helpful to you. Looking forward to seeing you in China.
Yours：
Anita
