Scented Silk Fan

Last updated 2026-11-15 — The Linjiang Folding Fan is meticulously crafted using locally abundant white bamboo for the frame and thin, translucent parchment or white silk for the fan surface, undergoing a total of 72 intricate processes. The fan surface features elegant and beautiful patterns, including calligraphy and paintings by ancient artists, but more commonly, designs created by the factory’s artists such as “Chang’e Flying to the Moon,” “Scenery of the Three Gorges,” “A View of Baidi City,” and “Fairy Cave in the Hot Springs.” These depictions of figures, landscapes, flowers, birds, and insects are all rendered in traditional painting techniques, exuding a rich ethnic style. During production, the folding fans are fumigated and soaked with medicinal herbs and fragrances, making them not only easy to open and close with a light touch, but also filling the air with fragrance when gently fanned—“bringing the scent with the breeze, and brushing away the summer heat with a light wave”—offering an indescribably delightful experience. In recent years, the design of folding fans has continued to evolve. Alongside the production of black fans, bamboo-carved fans, theatrical fans, and single-sided silk fans, the factory has also introduced advertising fans used by companies to promote their products, as well as custom-made souvenir fans for clients. Their products have been exported to over 10 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions, including Hubei, Hunan, Anhui, and Shaanxi.
