In-depth analysis of the fans in movies and TV series such as "Three Lives Three Worlds", "Journey to the West" is really particular about it!

In the picture above, Yang Mi is holding a folding fan. Because there is no close-up shot, the fan is not clearly visible, but it can be roughly inferred that it should be a mahogany bamboo core folding fan. Mahogany As the name suggests, the bamboo core uses mahogany as the big bone of the fan and bamboo as the small bone. This form of material mixing appeared in the fan industry, initially from a practical point of view, because although wooden fans have the advantage of being stable and heavy compared to bamboo fans, wooden fan ribs have the disadvantage of being easy to break, especially It's the small bone part. So the predecessors created this kind of "mix and match" model of fans. The one in the picture is a decent mahogany and bamboo core folding fan.

The fan in this picture is an important prop in the TV series - the Jade Qing Kunlun Fan. This name is indeed very fairy-like, and I have to admire the screenwriter's creative ability. But in terms of the overall shape of the fan, the crew put a lot of effort into it. The fan bones were originally designed to be improved based on what we call a one-foot light board, made of purple sandalwood, and the head of the fan is divided into cow bone bulkheads. However, the large side of this fan was improved by the production team's designers, who processed the original 3.3-inch opening into a form similar to a nine-dan (one green onion), and then paired it with a jade fan pendant and a rice paper fan. Finally, the big bone is inlaid with so-called jadeite (but judging from the texture, it should be plastic, you know the cost issue).

When it comes to fans in film and television dramas, another thing that must be mentioned is "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", which was released during the Spring Festival. I believe many friends have gone to see it. The spider spirit (Wang Likun) in the movie () must be very amazing to many people. In fact, it is not only the characters themselves that are amazing, but the props and fans they hold in their hands are also very beautiful.

Let’s talk about the one in Wang Likun’s hand first. This kind of round fan is a kind of special-shaped round fan. It is in the shape of a half-moon. The edge should be made of metal wire concave circles and then black brocade cloth. Wrapped, the fan surface does not look like tapestry as a whole, but more like a kind of gauze. The design of this fan is all reflected in the support and bulkhead. The design element of the support is similar to that of a chayote, which supports the fan surface. The overall shape and color matching of this round fan look classic and elegant, and are very comfortable. It matches the character's sense of enchantment, which is really good.

The overall style of these two special-shaped round fans is the same as the one above, except that the shape of the fans has been changed from a half-moon shape to a magatama shape, which is full of Chinese classical cultural temperament and can be considered a great effort. .

Compared with the two fans above that have a strong sense of enchantment, this one looks much fresher and more normal. It is a mahogany bamboo round fan with a long handle. As for the fan surface, because we can’t see it clearly in the picture, we can only roughly infer that it is either ordinary white embroidery or a tapestry fan surface. Of course, the worst possibility is that it is an inkjet painting. Since we can’t see the real thing, we just Can list several possibilities.

Speaking of this fan, it is not necessarily reasonable to say that it is made of mahogany, because the wood itself is difficult to bend into such a shape. If it were really wood, this fan would be very difficult to achieve in terms of craftsmanship. Generally speaking, fans with this shape are edged with concave circles of metal wire, supplemented by brocade wrapping. However, if the edge of this fan is made of metal wire, it would look too bulky, so we can only look at what material it is made of. Only by seeing the actual object can we judge.
