清风徐来——沈阳故宫藏清宫扇具

Fresh Breeze Blows Gently--Fan Collection of Qing Dynasty in Shenyang Palace Museum

我国古代扇子可分为障扇、团扇、草编扇、葵扇、羽扇、折扇等类别,各有形制及特色。我国古代团扇、折扇本是怀袖纳凉之实用品,也是服装点缀物,在发展演变过程中与传统书画艺术结缘成为雅致的书画艺术品。现代生活赋予传统扇具以新的价值和新的作用,在建筑、家具、陈设、服装、戏剧、表演、平面设计等诸多方面都有所体现。如今,提倡"古为今用",在继承古代优秀扇具文化传统的基础上,还要有所创新。清代内廷"恭造"之各种扇具无疑是我们创新的基础和重要依据。

Ancient Chinese fans can be divided into barrier fan, ball fan, straw fan, palm-leaf fan, feather fan,folding fan and so on, each with its own shape, structure and characteristics. In ancient China, the ball fan and folding fan were practical things for hiding in he sleeve and enjoying the cool, as well as the decoration of clothing. In the process of development and evolution, they became attached to the traditional art of painting and calligraphy and became elegant artwork. Modern life endows the traditional fan with new value and new function,which is reflected in many aspects such as architecture,furniture,furnishings,clothing,drama, performance,and graphic design, etc. Nowadays, we advocate "the past serving the present". On the basis of inheriting the excellent cultural tradition of ancient fan, we should make some innovations. All kinds of fans reverently made in the imperial count of the Qing dynasty are undoubtedly the basis and important foundation of our innovation.
