Will you publish more about Chinese fans? Since Chinese fans are widely known, I would like to know different styles other than Tuanshan.
Hi, thanks for the question, and sorry for taking ages to reply! (hanfu & tuanshan recreation of a Ming dynasty painting via 鹑衣):
You can find all my posts/reblogs about Chinese fans (shanzi/扇子) in my fans tag. I also have individual tags for different types of Chinese fans, including:
tuanshan/团扇 (circular fan)
zheshan/折扇 (folding fan)
yaoshan/腰扇 (waist fan)
yushan/羽扇 (feather fan)
bianmian/便面
Of course, there are a lot more types not listed above.
Below are several posts from Xiaohongshu identifying the names of different types of Chinese fans (1/2/3/4/5):
For more references, Wikipedia's "hand fan" and "hanfu accessories" pages have additional information on the different types of Chinese fans and their history.
Hope this helps! ^^
