People like to use fans in China. Fans do not just help us stay cool in summer. They also make us look cool with traditional Chinese clothing.
One special kind of fan is the lacquered fan(漆扇). Each lacquered fan looks different because of the special way it is made. At first, many visitors to Yangzhou, Luoyang and Xi’an bought lacquered fans as gifts. And now the lacquered fans become very popular in more places.
Visitors can even make their own do - it - yourself(DIY)lacquered fans on the street. They can pick the colours they like and learn how to make the fans. The colours of lacquered fans are usually very
bright, like yellow, red and green. They make the fans look beautiful!
In old times, people saw fans as works of art. They thought fans showed elegance(优雅). Men used fans to look more handsome and women used fans to hide their faces. Today, as more people are beginning to take an interest in making their special fans, the beauty of Chinese fans lives on.
