fan

A fan is an instrument that allows air to move and facilitate cooling in front of the high temperatures. It consists of two parts: the country (made up of cloth, paper or leather) and the deck of cards, a rigid and foldable base.

Its operation is Handbook and it consists of shaking the arm that supports it with a certain intensity, to achieve a current of air that reduces the sensation of heat. The origin of the fan is found in Japan, although its use spread throughout the world. The fan is widely used in regions such as Andalusia, for example.

Although its construction is very simple, the fan is also considered a fashion accessoryTherefore, the most important manufacturers take into account different factors associated with the design and quality of the product.

Usually the fan is used by adult women. However, many young women also use it and, even, lines have been developed to mens.

When it comes to refrigeration, the fan has lost much of its ground after the invention of the fan (an electrical device with blades rotating at high speed) and the air-conditioning (or conditioner air).

On the other hand, the concept of fan allows to name anything that has a shape similar to that of the traditional fan, such as the peacock's tail, for example.

The fan as a means of communication

The reality is that it fulfilled an important function for many women, since it offered them a portable media, which was very useful for them to converse silently with each other and with men, in environments where protocol did not allow them to pronounce certain words or address certain topics.

* To express a letter of the alphabet, the fan had to be rotated in one direction and then placed in a position in particular;

* fanning at high speed meant "I love you intensely", while fanning slowly and slowly or opening and closing the fan calmly, "I'm married and I'm not interested in you";

* a slow close meant "yes";

* a quick close was the same as saying "no";

* open and close the fan quickly alerted to a suitor that the woman was engaged;

* moving the hair with the help of the fan expressed "I think of you" or "I don't forget you";

* running their fingers over the rods, as if counting them, meant they wanted to talk privately with the person who was looking at them;

* to reject a man, they only had to cover their faces with their fans, as if they were hiding from the sun;

* Another way to affirm or deny was to place the fan on one cheek, the right being the positive and the left being the negative;

* hitting an object with the fan represented impatience;

* when a woman held the fan open with both hands, she expressed her wish of the other person forgetting it;

* To say "I love you", it was enough to place the fan over the eyes, leaving the face uncovered, since otherwise it could mean "be careful, someone is watching us";
