Every summer, Su Fan can be seen everywhere in the streets of Suzhou. Among the "three fans of Suzhou" in the silk palace fan, folding fan, and sandalwood fan, sandalwood fans are particularly special.

The sandalwood fan of the "Sunflower Fan Fan" is naturally a Chinese element with a symbol of smell. The use of sandalwood fans was derived from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and evolved from the folding fan to be the first in my country. "A small sandalwood fan was very expensive, which is equivalent to one month's salary. But at that time, the authentic Suzhou people married their daughter and always had to marry her a fan. One is not to forget the original intention, not to forget the original intention. Give the best things to your daughter; the other is to shake the fan with a sedan, happy and happy for a lifetime! "In Suzhou Ruyi Sandalwood Fan Factory, Jiangsu Insidal Cultural Heritage (Fan Making Skills) representative inheritors Chen Qin smiled and fell into memories with a smile. Essence

How does a piece of wood become a fan? Chen Qin introduced that the production process of Suzhou sandalwood fan is divided into opening, sawing pieces, pulling flowers, hot flowers, carving, assembly, etc., as many as 14. Among them, the "four flowers" of pulling flowers, hot flowers, carved flowers, and painting flowers. She pointed at a fan with modern book style — Qiufeng fan said that from design, conceived to the final molding, even if many masters cooperated together, this fan also took a year and a half to complete.

Chen Qin has been engaged in the design of Su Fan design and sandalwood fans for forty years. The inheritance and development of sandalwood fans is also a problem that keeps her constantly thinking.

Take the old sandalwoodwood imported from India, with the fan wind, the fragrance is overflowing, but there are also shortcomings of the materials that are increasingly scarce, and the price is high; Difficulties; practitioners with high skills, but also to paint the foundation, coupled with insufficient marketization, apprentices can come and go, and fewer can stay.

How to do? Chen Qin found that changes are happening. On the one hand, using Australian sandalwood wood and other alternative materials, not only the purchase price is down, but also the method of half -manual and semi -machine workers, and the output is also followed; on the other hand Make some sandalwood fan derivatives that are more aesthetically aesthetically. And she continued to work hard on researching skills and inheritance culture. "Non -heritage, there is no vitality without the market. But just like the relationship between fast food and Manhan, the inheritance and development of non -heritage also need to walk with two legs. On the one hand, you can introduce young design talents to give it new vitality. On the other hand,, on the other hand,, on the other hand, Non -survivors also need to be able to bear their temperament and keep improving their skills in adherence. "
