Seek the development history and pictures of ancient fans

China was the first country to use fans in the world, and later it was gradually introduced to many countries in Japan and Europe. The history of fans can be traced back to the ancient times of Yu Shun, because in the Ming Dynasty there was a record that fans were made by Shun. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, people made a "vegetarian fan" out of the gorgeous long tail of the male pheasant, and a "pheasant fan" with a long handle appeared. At this time, the fan became a symbol of the dignity of the emperor.
