“Nemiza (the powerful goddess of the wind) wandered around our planet for many centuries, observing the life of people. Seeing a huge number of human troubles, her heart was filled with pity and compassion. In order to help humanity to alleviate a difficult lot, the goddess gave people her magic fan. Since then, every person in trouble could swing a fan, thereby creating wind and sending a signal for help,”says an ancient Chinese legend.
A bit of history.
The first fans were invented in China in the 2nd millennium BC. e. Then there was a paper fan with a rounded shape and on the handle, which was later borrowed by Japan. In the VII century. in Japan, a folding fan was created, the basis of which was thin plates cut from a variety of materials (bone, wood, tortoise shell). The plates were fastened together, subsequently covered with silk or parchment. Already in the 10th century, the fan became widespread in the circles of aristocrats.
It was made of bamboo and very thick paper, which was skillfully painted with ink. Paintings were used as decoration, which carry a favorable energy (calligraphic inscriptions, flowers, animals, birds, landscapes, etc.).
There is a long-standing belief - fanning himself, a person drives away evil forces.

The fan has always been the most popular protective talisman, as it is endowed with the energy of air currents that generate the movement of positive qi energy. According to experts in the field of feng shui, the most favorable location of the talisman is the zone of fame (south). If you need to strengthen the effect of the flow of qi energy in any area, hang the fan on the wall, placing it in a direction favorable to you so that it is directed slightly upwards and is at an angle of 45 degrees.
Today there is a wide range of colors and fan sizes.
When choosing the color of a Feng Shui fan, trust your feelings.
You should like the color scheme, promote relaxation or restore your vitality.
The size of the fan is selected based on the area of the room in which it will be used (a large fan in a small room will create a rather active movement of energy flows, bringing only anxiety, and a small fan in a large apartment will not cope with attracting a sufficient amount of qi energy).
Basically, the Feng Shui fan is used in conjunction with other talismans. For example, there is a drawing on the fan - a sakura branch, a dragon, a tiger, a turtle, a crane and others. Accordingly, the interaction of talismans takes place, the action of the priority talisman is enhanced.
