扇子在我国具有悠久的历史。据专家考证，商周之时形制已备，汉代普遍流行。从形制上看，扇子大致可分为两大类：一类为柄扇，一类为折扇。柄扇上有固定的扇面，下加一柄，以便执拿。柄扇又有竹、羽、蒲扇以及以素绢和罗绫等物制成的纨扇之分。折扇扇骨以竹或木条多支叠合，一头用钉贯穿，可以自由活动，这样做成扇骨后再在上面敷上纸帛便可随意收拢或开张。

英语语境:

The fan has a long history in our country. According to textual research, its shape already existed in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and became popular by the Han Dynasty. In terms of the shape, the fan can be roughly divided into two main categories: handle fan and folding fan. With a handle under its fixed covering of the fan, the handle fan was easy to carry in handy. Besides, according to making materials the handle fan can be further classified into bamboo fans, feather fans, cattail leaf fans, and “Wan Shan” which was made of plain silk, leno and damask silk. As to the folding fan, its ancient name was “Zhedie Shan” (foldable fan). As several bamboo or wood battens fold up and a nail pins through the folded side, the framework of the folding fan was flexible, and people can close or open it freely after silk paper was pasted on it.
