Brief Introduction

"Lacquer fans" refer to fans decorated with natural lacquer, a plant-based material that has been utilized by the Chinese in utensil craftsmanship for over eight millennia. (Han Yu, Yang Peizhang 2025, 44) The fusion of lacquer art and fan-making transforms it into both a functional item and a medium of artistic expression. The production process is intricate, involving multiple stages such as base-making, lacquering, and decoration, with each fan embodying the artisan’s skill and dedication. In ancient China, lacquer fans symbolized the status of scholars and literati, as well as being prized accessories among the nobility. Over time, they evolved from utilitarian objects into works of art, yet their cultural essence and craftsmanship remain unchanged.

Characteristics of Lacquer Fans

The uniqueness of lacquer fans lies in the seamless blend of material and technique. The ribs are typically crafted from natural materials like bamboo or wood, meticulously polished before being coated with multiple layers of natural lacquer. This lacquer, known for its durability, moisture resistance, and lasting luster, ensures the fan’s longevity. Decorative techniques vary widely, including carved lacquer, mother-of-pearl inlay, and gold tracing, each showcasing exceptional artistry. The motifs are diverse, ranging from landscapes, flowers, and birds to mythological tales and historical narratives, reflecting profound Eastern aesthetics. Additionally, their lightweight and portable nature made them favored accessories among ancient scholars, embodying both practicality and beauty.

The Value of Lacquer Fans

The significance of lacquer fans extends beyond artistry, encompassing deep cultural meaning. Artistically, they represent the pinnacle of traditional craftsmanship, where lacquerwork and fan-making converge in exquisite harmony. Their intricate designs and vibrant colors testify to the ingenuity of ancient artisans. Culturally, they serve as emblems of Chinese heritage, embodying the philosophical and moral ideals of traditional society. Many patterns carry auspicious symbolism, such as "pine and crane for longevity" or the "four noble plants" (plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum), conveying timeless virtues. Moreover, lacquer fans hold historical value, their evolution mirroring shifts in aesthetics and social customs across dynasties.

Current Status and Preservation

Despite their artistic and cultural importance, lacquer fans face an uncertain future in the modern era. Industrialization has marginalized traditional crafts, pushing lacquer fan-making to the brink of extinction. The lacquerware craft faces challenges in popularization due to its high technical threshold. It encompasses various complex techniques such as textured lacquer (bian-tu), gold inlay (qiang-jin), mother-of-pearl (xiang-qian), gold tracing (miao-jin), and carved filling (diao-tian), each with its own intricate and specific procedures. This complexity presents significant obstacles to the widespread adoption of lacquer craftsmanship. (Han Yu, Yang Peizhang 2025, 45) Today, only a handful of aging artisans master the core techniques, with few young practitioners willing to inherit the craft. Limited market demand, coupled with high production costs and lengthy creation cycles, further hinders their adaptation to contemporary consumer trends.

Nevertheless, recent efforts to safeguard intangible cultural heritage have sparked hope. Artisans and cultural institutions are promoting lacquer fans through exhibitions and workshops, aiming to revive public interest. Some designers are reinterpreting lacquer fans with modern aesthetics, creating innovative pieces that appeal to younger audiences—for instance, integrating fan motifs into fashion accessories or home décor. Moving forward, the survival of lacquer fans demands collaborative action: government support, market-driven strategies, and educational initiatives must converge to ensure this ancient art endures.

Conclusion

As a masterpiece of Chinese traditional craftsmanship, the lacquer fan’s artistic and cultural legacy is irreplaceable. Confronting modern challenges, its preservation must balance respect for tradition with creative reinvention. Only through sustained, multi-stakeholder engagement can this centuries-old art form continue to shine, bridging the past and future as a living cultural heritage.

Lacquer Fans: A Pearl of Intangible Cultural Heritage from the Integration of Traditional Lacquer Art and Fan Culture

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the impact of the times on the inheritance and innovation of intangible cultural heritage, this paper focuses on the unique intangible cultural heritage of lacquer fans. It deeply elaborates on this artistic form that takes fans as the carrier and lacquerware craftsmanship as the core, analyzes its characteristics and values, sorts out the inheritance dilemmas, and explores development paths. It provides ideas for the protection and inheritance of lacquer fans and similar intangible cultural heritages, and helps with the continuation and innovation of traditional culture.

Keywords

Lacquer fans; Intangible cultural heritage; Inheritance and development; Lacquerware craftsmanship

Brief Introduction

Lacquer fans are traditional handicrafts made by applying lacquerware techniques such as lacquering, inlaying, and painting on various fans (such as round fans, folding fans, etc.). Their origin can be traced back to ancient times. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the lacquerware craftsmanship had gradually matured and combined with the daily practical fans, giving birth to the embryonic form of lacquer fans. In the Tang Dynasty, the production techniques of lacquer fans reached a relatively high level and became items for collection and appreciation by the royal court and nobles. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, they incorporated the aesthetic tastes of literati, and the fan surfaces were often combined with calligraphy and painting, adding cultural charm. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the lacquer fans became more diverse in terms of craftsmanship techniques and subject matter expression, becoming one of the representatives of traditional crafts, carrying thousands of years of cultural memories and the technical wisdom of craftsmen.

Characteristics of Lacquer Fans

Exquisite Craftsmanship

The production of lacquer fans involves multiple processes, including selecting fan ribs, making fan surfaces, preparing lacquer, lacquering, and decorating. From the selection and refining of natural lacquer materials to the inlaying (such as mother-of-pearl, gold and silver foil, etc.) and painting according to the designed patterns, each step relies on the experience and skills of craftsmen. Take lacquering as an example; it requires multiple applications and polishings to make the lacquer layer uniform and present a unique luster, creating a simple or gorgeous texture, fully demonstrating the fineness of the craftsmanship.
Unique Modeling

The fan ribs have diverse shapes. They can be made of bamboo, wood carved into beautiful curves or metal to create exquisite patterns. The fan surfaces have rich forms. The roundness of round fans and the opening and closing postures of folding fans, combined with lacquer art decorations, create a unique visual effect. The colors and textures of lacquer art integrate with the shape of the fan. For example, painting landscapes on a round fan uses the circular shape of the fan surface to create the artistic conception of "a landscape within a step, with beautiful sceneries in many directions", demonstrating the beauty of the combination of modeling and craftsmanship.
Rich Subject Matter

The subject matter of lacquer fans covers many fields such as nature and humanities. Natural subjects include flowers, birds, fish, insects, landscapes, forests, and springs. The color layers of lacquer art are used to show the agility of flowers and birds and the remoteness of landscapes. Humanities subjects include historical stories, poetry allusions, etc. Cultural connotations are presented on the fan surface in the forms of lacquer painting and inlaying, making the lacquer fan a carrier of culture and conveying oriental aesthetics and humanistic spirit.

Values of Lacquer Fans

Cultural Value

Lacquer fans integrate lacquerware craftsmanship and fan culture and carry the development context and aesthetic concepts of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. From the aesthetic tastes of the Tang Dynasty royal court to the literati interests of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, lacquer fans record the cultural symbols of different eras. They are physical materials for studying the changes of traditional craftsmanship and culture, and are of great significance for inheriting cultural genes and promoting national culture.

Artistic Value

With exquisite craftsmanship, unique modeling, and subject matter, lacquer fans become the crystallization of artistic creation. Craftsmen use lacquer as ink and fans as paper to create a rich artistic conception in a limited space, demonstrating the material beauty, craftsmanship beauty, and design beauty of lacquer art. They have high artistic appreciation and collection value and add a unique category to the art field.

Practical Value

Although they are traditional handicrafts, lacquer fans still retain the practical function of fans and can be used to fan and cool down in summer. At the same time, their aesthetic property makes them a good choice for indoor decoration and gift-giving, meeting people's dual needs for the aesthetics and cultural connotations of practical items.

Inheritance and Development of Lacquer Fans

Inheritance Dilemmas

1.Difficulties in Raw Material and Technique Inheritance: The collection and refining of natural lacquer materials are restricted by the environment and technology. There are few craftsmen who master the complete set of lacquer fan production techniques. The younger generation lacks the motivation to learn and inherit due to the long learning cycle and unstable income.

2.Weak Adaptation to Innovation and Market: The product forms and subject matter of lacquer fans lack innovation, making it difficult to meet the diverse consumer demands of modern times. The market promotion channels are limited, mainly relying on traditional offline exhibitions, resulting in low awareness and a narrow audience.

Development Paths
1.Technique Inheritance: Carry out activities such as introducing intangible cultural heritage into campuses and the master-apprentice inheritance system to cultivate professional talents. Establish a lacquer fan craftsmanship database to record the process flow and protect and inherit it with the help of digital means.

2.Innovative Design: Combine modern aesthetics and life scenarios to develop cultural and creative products of lacquer fans, such as lacquer fan bookmarks, lacquer fan lamps, etc. Integrate fashion elements, expand the subject matter and application scenarios, and attract young consumers.

3.Market Promotion: Use digital media platforms such as short videos and live broadcasts to display the production and artistic charm of lacquer fans. Hold lacquer fan art exhibitions and cultural exchange activities to enhance brand awareness and cultural influence.

Terminology

Lacquer fan
Lacquerware technique
Lacquering
Intangible cultural heritage

Questions

1.In what specific aspects is the cultural value of lacquer fans reflected?

2.How can lacquer fans break through geographical limitations with the help of digital media in the process of inheritance and development?

Answer:

1.It is reflected in carrying traditional craftsmanship techniques (such as lacquering, inlaying, etc.), reflecting the aesthetic and cultural symbols of different eras (the styles of the Tang Dynasty royal court and the literati of the Ming and Qing Dynasties), and serving as a carrier for cultural research and exchange. It is an important physical object for inheriting national culture.

2.A website or short video account themed on lacquer fans can be built to release content such as production processes and finished product displays. Online live sales, craftsmanship teaching, and online exhibitions can be carried out to let people in different regions understand and contact lacquer fans, expanding the scope of communication.

Lacquer Fans: A Pearl of Intangible Cultural Heritage from the Integration of Traditional Lacquer Art and Fan Culture

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the impact of the times on the inheritance and innovation of intangible cultural heritage, this paper focuses on the unique intangible cultural heritage of lacquer fans. It deeply elaborates on this artistic form that takes fans as the carrier and lacquerware craftsmanship as the core, analyzes its characteristics and values, sorts out the inheritance dilemmas, and explores development paths. It provides ideas for the protection and inheritance of lacquer fans and similar intangible cultural heritages, and helps with the continuation and innovation of traditional culture.

Keywords

Lacquer fans; Intangible cultural heritage; Inheritance and development; Lacquerware craftsmanship

Brief Introduction

Lacquer fans are traditional handicrafts made by applying lacquerware techniques such as lacquering, inlaying, and painting on various fans (such as round fans, folding fans, etc.). Their origin can be traced back to ancient times. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the lacquerware craftsmanship had gradually matured and combined with the daily practical fans, giving birth to the embryonic form of lacquer fans. In the Tang Dynasty, the production techniques of lacquer fans reached a relatively high level and became items for collection and appreciation by the royal court and nobles. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, they incorporated the aesthetic tastes of literati, and the fan surfaces were often combined with calligraphy and painting, adding cultural charm. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the lacquer fans became more diverse in terms of craftsmanship techniques and subject matter expression, becoming one of the representatives of traditional crafts, carrying thousands of years of cultural memories and the technical wisdom of craftsmen.

Characteristics of Lacquer Fans

Exquisite Craftsmanship
The production of lacquer fans involves multiple processes, including selecting fan ribs, making fan surfaces, preparing lacquer, lacquering, and decorating. From the selection and refining of natural lacquer materials to the inlaying (such as mother-of-pearl, gold and silver foil, etc.) and painting according to the designed patterns, each step relies on the experience and skills of craftsmen. Take lacquering as an example; it requires multiple applications and polishings to make the lacquer layer uniform and present a unique luster, creating a simple or gorgeous texture, fully demonstrating the fineness of the craftsmanship.
Unique Modeling
The fan ribs have diverse shapes. They can be made of bamboo, wood carved into beautiful curves or metal to create exquisite patterns. The fan surfaces have rich forms. The roundness of round fans and the opening and closing postures of folding fans, combined with lacquer art decorations, create a unique visual effect. The colors and textures of lacquer art integrate with the shape of the fan. For example, painting landscapes on a round fan uses the circular shape of the fan surface to create the artistic conception of "a landscape within a step, with beautiful sceneries in many directions", demonstrating the beauty of the combination of modeling and craftsmanship.
Rich Subject Matter
The subject matter of lacquer fans covers many fields such as nature and humanities. Natural subjects include flowers, birds, fish, insects, landscapes, forests, and springs. The color layers of lacquer art are used to show the agility of flowers and birds and the remoteness of landscapes. Humanities subjects include historical stories, poetry allusions, etc. Cultural connotations are presented on the fan surface in the forms of lacquer painting and inlaying, making the lacquer fan a carrier of culture and conveying oriental aesthetics and humanistic spirit.

Values of Lacquer Fans

Cultural Value
Lacquer fans integrate lacquerware craftsmanship and fan culture and carry the development context and aesthetic concepts of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. From the aesthetic tastes of the Tang Dynasty royal court to the literati interests of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, lacquer fans record the cultural symbols of different eras. They are physical materials for studying the changes of traditional craftsmanship and culture, and are of great significance for inheriting cultural genes and promoting national culture.
Artistic Value
With exquisite craftsmanship, unique modeling, and subject matter, lacquer fans become the crystallization of artistic creation. Craftsmen use lacquer as ink and fans as paper to create a rich artistic conception in a limited space, demonstrating the material beauty, craftsmanship beauty, and design beauty of lacquer art. They have high artistic appreciation and collection value and add a unique category to the art field.
Practical Value
Although they are traditional handicrafts, lacquer fans still retain the practical function of fans and can be used to fan and cool down in summer. At the same time, their aesthetic property makes them a good choice for indoor decoration and gift-giving, meeting people's dual needs for the aesthetics and cultural connotations of practical items.

Inheritance and Development of Lacquer Fans

Inheritance Dilemmas
1.Difficulties in Raw Material and Technique Inheritance: The collection and refining of natural lacquer materials are restricted by the environment and technology. There are few craftsmen who master the complete set of lacquer fan production techniques. The younger generation lacks the motivation to learn and inherit due to the long learning cycle and unstable income.
2.Weak Adaptation to Innovation and Market: The product forms and subject matter of lacquer fans lack innovation, making it difficult to meet the diverse consumer demands of modern times. The market promotion channels are limited, mainly relying on traditional offline exhibitions, resulting in low awareness and a narrow audience.
Development Paths
1.Technique Inheritance: Carry out activities such as introducing intangible cultural heritage into campuses and the master-apprentice inheritance system to cultivate professional talents. Establish a lacquer fan craftsmanship database to record the process flow and protect and inherit it with the help of digital means.
2.Innovative Design: Combine modern aesthetics and life scenarios to develop cultural and creative products of lacquer fans, such as lacquer fan bookmarks, lacquer fan lamps, etc. Integrate fashion elements, expand the subject matter and application scenarios, and attract young consumers.
3.Market Promotion: Use digital media platforms such as short videos and live broadcasts to display the production and artistic charm of lacquer fans. Hold lacquer fan art exhibitions and cultural exchange activities to enhance brand awareness and cultural influence.

Terminology

Lacquer fan
Lacquerware technique
Lacquering
Intangible cultural heritage

Questions

1.In what specific aspects is the cultural value of lacquer fans reflected?
2.How can lacquer fans break through geographical limitations with the help of digital media in the process of inheritance and development?
Answer:
1.It is reflected in carrying traditional craftsmanship techniques (such as lacquering, inlaying, etc.), reflecting the aesthetic and cultural symbols of different eras (the styles of the Tang Dynasty royal court and the literati of the Ming and Qing Dynasties), and serving as a carrier for cultural research and exchange. It is an important physical object for inheriting national culture.
2.A website or short video account themed on lacquer fans can be built to release content such as production processes and finished product displays. Online live sales, craftsmanship teaching, and online exhibitions can be carried out to let people in different regions understand and contact lacquer fans, expanding the scope of communication.
