Luo Tian didn't say anything and slowly walked into the store. The owner of the store was wearing a black double-breasted top and was holding a shaking fan in his hand. Luo Tian saw this fan and looked at the boss with admiration.
The origin of fans in my country was very early, and the prototype of fans was found in the Shang Dynasty. There were many types of fans in ancient my country, but the only ones that were truly favored by collectors were folding fans and round fans. Folding fans were "folding fans", also known as " The folding fan is folded when it is closed, and when it is used, it is spread out, so it is also called "scattering fan". Although the folding fan is produced late, it is of great importance. It is easy to carry, enter and exit the sleeves, fan calligraphy and painting, and fan bone carving , is the pet of literati and elegant scholars, so it also has the nickname "Elegant Things in Love with Sleeve". Round fans are produced long ago than folding fans, because they are reunited like the moon, which is in line with the auspicious meaning of Chinese people. It is also known as "Hehuan Fan". Made of silk fabric, it is also called "silk fan" or "rock fan".
The fan is the most glorious in the three eras, the folding fan in the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, and the Republic of China. The boss saw Luo Tian’s eyes gathered on his fan and closed the fan: “After waiting for a day, finally someone who knows the goods left!
Come in."
The boss spoke fluent Chinese, and his temperament was a little similar to his father Ouyang Tian. He spoke happily and freely, and he didn't have much smell of money on his body. Luo Tian had a good impression of him and said with a smile: "
This boss's eyes are so sharp, how could he know that I am a person who knows the goods?"
"Eyes." The boss said briefly.
This is an expert, Luo Tian said, "The boss is also an expert."
"Oh, this is the pain of being a boss. I hope all the guests are experts, a pity." The boss shook the fan in his hand: "Everything cannot be satisfactory, how about it, can you see anything?
?”
"The picture fan of the Qing Dynasty." Luo Tian said quickly.
The boss closed the fan and held it in his hand, nodding: "My eyes are a little more accurate."
Luo Tian smiled but said nothing. The three most glorious eras of ancient fans, and they knew the shapes and characteristics of all fans clearly. Take the Ming Dynasty as an example. The Ming Dynasty was the beginning of the popularity of folding fans, and folding fans were made nationwide.
All are distributed. Those famous for their famous local celebrities include Hangzhou Fan, Cao Fan, Sichuan Fan, She Fan, Yi Fan, Pan Fan, Square Fan, Yellow Fan, Qingyang Fan, Liyang Song Fan, Fengrun Painting Fan, Wuling Jiaoya
There are many names such as Fan, Jinling Liu's fan, Yin's paper wheat fan, Wu's fan, etc. There are also spring fans, autumn fans and boot fans divided into functional purposes. The fan-string fans are becoming more and more exquisite, and each has its own famous artists;
Fan-shaped calligraphy and painting are widely popular and are recognized among literati and scholars.
Although folding fans originally originated in Japan, they have been carried forward and become an integral part of Chinese culture.
Let’s talk about the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty was a period of great development of folding fans in my country. Fans were used more frequently among literati and officials. Fans were not only used to create cool winds, but also a work of art. They became an interesting identity and status. Symbols and props for their social roles. Not only in summer, but also in the cool seasons, holding a fan in your hand, opening and closing, hanging on your body, or hiding it in your sleeves, all have the meaning of personality and emotional communication. Not only literati, but not only men use folding fans. From the mainstream of literati calligraphy and painting fans, black paper fans, painting fans are divided into typical craft fans, as well as rice fans for women. Starting from the fan itself , and there were also crafts attached to fan bags, fan pendants and fan boxes. Fans were also spread from China to other parts of the world, especially in Europe. During the Qianlong period, merchants in Guangzhou specialized in producing ivory folding fans suitable for European ladies' fun and hobbies.
During the Republic of China, folding fans maintained their importance in Chinese art and life, but nothing exceeded the previous generations, and the innovation worth mentioning was the highlight fan. Before that, although many people collaborated on the same fan to paint.
, or write the fans with their respective signatures in sections, but the highlight fan is divided into different methods, and then multiple calligraphers and painters write and paint separately. Starting from the smallest combination of two people, to more than ten
The culmination of the family's collaboration is indeed refreshing.
"The fan on the boss's side is made of silk, and it should be a thick silk fan produced in Beijing." Luo Tian said: "The fan bone is the monk's head and fan the strands. This is the main method of fan bones in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the carving work on the fan is made of Yin.
It seems simple, but it tests the skill. The fan and the fan bone complement each other. Because it is properly kept and has good quality, it is really rare. Because the folding fan is opened and closed, it is particularly easy to damage the fan. Boss, what are you not an insider?"
The boss laughed: "Okay, okay, okay, I'm so lucky today. How could I meet you?"
Luo Tian couldn't understand the meaning of this, nor did he know whether the boss was praising him or had other meanings. However, Hong Luo said: "Boss, are you very jealous?"
"Haha, that's right, I've only been here for three months. I've replaced my previous boss's shop, but the goods are all mine." The boss said, "I didn't open a store here before."
"No wonder my eyes were born."
"I see that you are also wise. It is rare to see your own people here. Are you two local overseas Chinese or?"
"I am considered an overseas Chinese, but this one just came from China." Hong Luo introduced.
Luo Tian likes that Hong Luo uses the word "domestic" when he mentions China. This attitude is really rare. However, seeing that Hong Luo is about to reveal his identity immediately, he immediately looked at him and Hong Luo shut up in time.
He spoke, but at this time the boss said, "Although this guest is young, he has a deep skill. I don't know what his job is for?"
"Anti-talk lover." Luo Tian said humbly.
The boss shook his head and pointed at the palace lantern in Luo Tian's hand: "Even antique lovers, they will not be ordinary antique lovers. I have always placed this palace lantern there when I came here, and no one has ever been interested. You
I said you just came today, but I took a look at it at first sight. What does this mean? Young man, although I am older than you, my brain is still very good. Don’t try to fool me.”
Uh, Luo Tian looked at the palace lanterns in his arms and revealed his stuff again...
"Young man, what's your name?" The boss smiled proudly. It was his own natural ability to recognize people.
"My name is Luo Tian."
"Luo Tian..." The boss said this name: "It's strange, why do people with the sky in their names have evil spirits? Feitian, Ouyang Tian, now add you Luo Tian!"
When Luo Tian heard the first two names, he was shocked and almost couldn't speak: "Boss, you..."
