扇子是人人爱好的玩物。扇子的应用始于很早的时候，大约在晋代之前就使用了。传至今日，它的形式并没有多大的变化。最普通的有纨扇、折扇、葵扇、芭蕉扇等。其制作也很有讲究，纨扇制作之精致，与粗俗的蒲扇实在是有天壤之别，纨扇好比北平的少奶奶，蒲扇则好比山村里淳朴的山民。 Fans are a hobby for everyone. The application of fans began very early, about before the Jin Dynasty. To this day, its form has not changed much. The most common ones are Wan fan, folding fan, sunflower fan, banana fan, etc. Its production is also very exquisite. The exquisite production of Wan fan is quite different from the vulgar Pu fan. Wan fan is like the little grandma of Peiping, and Pu fan is like the simple mountain people in the village. 在古代，扇子为女子所喜爱，她们使用扇子绝不仅仅用来扇风除汗。她们或装饰，或蔽丑，或撒娇，或嬉戏，或寄情。 In ancient times, fans were loved by women. They were not only used to remove sweat. They either decorate, or cover up the ugly, or coquetry, or play, or love. 扇子在我国古代的诗词中常有提及。唐代诗人王昌龄有“奉帚平明金殿开，且将团扇共俳徊。玉颜不及寒鸦色，犹带昭阳日影来”之诗。是写宫廷妇女不见王之苦，拿着团扇怅望徘徊。杜牧有“银烛秋光冷画屏，轻罗小扇扑流萤。天阶夜色凉如水，坐看牵牛织女星”。扇子本是夏天用来挥风取凉的，秋天就没有用了所以古诗里常以秋扇比喻弃妇。《水浒传》中有：“赤日炎炎似火烧，野田禾苗半枯焦。农夫心内如汤煮，公子王孙把扇摇。”这是用扇子来表示贵族们生活之安逸。 |
