Immerse yourself in the elegant world of traditional Chinese folding fans with our exquisite 21cm fan collection. Masterfully crafted using authentic Xiangyunsha silk stretched across precision-cut bamboo ribs, each folding silk fan in this series represents centuries of artistic tradition. Available in stunning designs from delicate flower motifs to serene bamboo leaf patterns, these portable treasures connect you to China's rich cultural heritage.

Cultural Significance of Chinese Folding Fans

Dating back to the Han Dynasty, the traditional Chinese fan has evolved from a simple cooling tool to a meaningful cultural symbol. Our 21cm fans feature authentic Xiangyunsha silk—a fabric revered for its distinctive texture and natural luster. This exceptional material, combined with traditional bamboo framework, creates a hand-painted Chinese fan that honors ancient craftsmanship while providing practical elegance.

Artistic Expression Through Folding Fan Design

Each design in our collection tells a unique story through vibrant imagery. From the delicate Yellow Flower pattern to the tranquil Bamboo Leaf motif, every portable hand fan showcases meticulous artistry. The Persimmon design celebrates abundance, while the Blooming Flower and Blue-Purple variants evoke the transient beauty of nature. These versatile accessories serve both as cooling fans for summer and as display pieces for your home.

Craftsmanship and Materials

Our fans exemplify the perfect marriage between function and beauty. Each piece features premium Xiangyunsha silk—a material prized for its texture and shimmering appearance—stretched across carefully selected bamboo ribs. The addition of elegant tassels completes the authentic look of these handheld oriental fans, creating a balanced weight that feels comfortable in your hand while adding decorative flair.

Their compact folded size makes them perfect cultural Chinese accessories to carry in purses or bags for immediate relief on warm days.

Care Instructions for Your Chinese Fan

To preserve the beauty and integrity of your fan, we recommend keeping it away from excessive moisture and direct sunlight when not in use. Each fan is handcrafted using natural materials, so slight variations in appearance are part of their unique character and authenticity. For storage, keep your fan in a partially open position to maintain the silk's tension and the bamboo's flexibility.
