Abstract

The main research purpose is to explore the culture of hand fans in the East and the West. We hope that this article will enable readers to better understand the history of hand fans in different cultural backgrounds and the usage of hand fans in different eras. This article mainly adopts the research method of literature review. We reviewed some journals from China National Knowledge Infrastructure. In addition, We found some materials fromThe Fan Circle International and The Fan Museum in Greenwich and made an analysis and summary. In the eastern part, the article mainly introduces the development history of hand fans from the Jin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty in China. It compares the functions and usage of hand fans in different social classes in detail. Then we had research on the gender expression of hand fans for men and women in different dynasties in China. This part reviews the changes in the gender expression of hand fans in stages. The article also introduces the development history of western hand fans from the 17th to 19th centuries and focuses on research during the Rococo period. The article explores the three functions of hand fans during the Rococo period: Status symbol, cultural communication, and fashion symbol. In addition, we also studied the gender expression of hand fans in different eras in the west and made a comparative analysis. By analyzing the development history of hand fans in the world and the different positioning of people of different genders using hand fans, we can clearly find something about changing the social status of men and women.
