foreigners.A few years ago,I went to Italy as an exchange student.Before leaving,I asked my
mother what gifts I should take to the teachers and the classmates there.Mum said that the
Chinese fan was a good option(选择),for China is praised as“the Fan Kingdom”.I agreed
completely,because it is more than a tool for cooling.And it's also an important part of Chinese
culture.
I went shopping and bought three kinds of Chinese fans.The first kind was the feather()
3
fans for the teachers,which was made of bird feathers.It was the symbol of Zhuge Liang,a very
smart man in ancient China.The fans I bought for the girls were silk fans.They were also called
"round silk fans".Fans of this kind were made of silk with paintings of beautiful women,birds or
flowers.They were very popular with women of all ages.As for the boys,I picked the folding fans
from Rongchang,a place in the west of Chongqing.The folding fans were made of paper and
bamboo.There were great paintings and calligraphy on them.
At the welcome party in Italy,my new friends were all excited to get the wonderful fans.And
they were even more excited after learning about the stories and culture behind them.
