英语语境:

The origin of the fan can be dated back to the Xuanyuan Period. It's said that kings of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties put wing feathers on the end of long sticks and made them into large impaired fans which could be used in their cruises and ceremonies, or used to keep the sun off and keep the dust away as well as to show their impressive and dignified manners. During the Kaiyuan Period in Tang Dynasty, tail feathers of the peacocks were used in making the impaired fans which continued till the Sony Dynasty. In Han Dynasty, the fans were mainly used for cooling oneself off and became popularized among folk people all over the country in the late Han Dynasty. New patterns came out one after one and the materials got various. For instance, there's one kind of fan that was made of silk as thin as onion skin. It's called silk palace fan and was the Chinese women's favorite of that time as they could be used to peek at people through its thin fan cover.
