The origin and historical development of reunion dinner
Tuan Fan, also known as Gong Fan and Wan Fan, is a traditional worker of Han nationality in China.

Art and art are a round fan with a handle, representing reunion, friendship and auspiciousness. Reunion dinner originated in China. Fans first appeared in Shang Dynasty, and were made of colorful pheasant hair, so they were called "barrier fans".

The history of fans was originally called "nameless fans". According to legend, Shun wrote Wu Ming Fan for the purpose of broadening audiences and seeking talents. During the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, a kind of "Zhai Fan" appeared, which was made of colorful pheasant tail feathers, so it was called "Feather Fan". Er Ya says, "The leaf is named after the wood, and the fan is named after the reed." It can be inferred that the early fans may be rectangular reeds. The early fans were not used for enjoying the cool, but as etiquette tools for rulers, so they were also called "etiquette fans". Fans in China after Qin and Han dynasties mainly have square, round and hexagonal shapes. The fabric of the fan is made of silk. Because it is widely used in the palace, it is also called "Gong Shan". The popular fans in Sui and Tang Dynasties were mainly Wan Fan and Feather Fan, and there were a few paper fans. After the Song Dynasty, folding fans gradually became popular. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhejiang, Suzhou and Sichuan were rich in folding fans, and inscriptions and paintings were also popular here. This exquisite skill was introduced to Europe from the Ming Dynasty, and then it became popular all over the world.
