In the shape of a full moon, tuanshan was usually made of silk. They had beautiful embroidery (刺绣) featuring birds and f【6】 on them.

Poets (诗人) in ancient China often compared a woman’s unlucky life to tuanshan, Nalan Xingde w【7】 during the Qing Dynasty, "If only life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the auturnn wind bother to pity deserted fans? "

Meanwhile, men, especially the literati (文人), used zheshan, or folded fans. The literati liked them b【8】 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 calligraphy. Almost a【9】 can be painted on zheshan, but the most popular ones usually featured landscapes.
