Silk Road Baigong ｜ The exclusive "taste" of the Fu'an people in the summer -oil fan

The oil fan is a traditional handicraft product of Fu'an, which is made of bamboo, paper, tung oil and other materials. It can be divided into four steps: fan bone, mounting fan surface, decoration, and oil. Each Fu'an oil fan must undergo a tedious manufacturing process to make a handmade boutique.

If you want to make high -quality oil fans, you must choose yellow bamboo that grows more than two years. Because the yellow bamboo is longer than other bamboo, the bamboo is long, the bamboo body is slender, the flexibility is good, and the insect rate is low.

The wonders of the Fu'an oil fan are that the fan handle, fan bone, and fan shoulder are all formed by a bamboo.

First, the 53 cm long bamboo section is left for 13 cm as a fan handle, and the rest is evenly broken into eight pieces. One of the fans of the fan is about half the length of the fan. The other seven of the eight pieces are used to make a fan surface, which is evenly opened into filaments. Bamboo festivals are bound. The larger the fan surface, the more bamboo silk has to be opened.

A seemingly simple fan will go through twenty or thirty craftsmanship. This oil fan is not only a tool of heat dismissal, but also a history of a city.
