Stories and Art of Chinese Fans
You may think you cannot live through summer without air conditioners. But in ancient China，hand fans were almost the only ones to help people keep cool.
Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2,000 years ago. The fans came in different shapes，such as round and square. They were also made from a11 kinds
of materials．Palm leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans(羽毛扇) showed the owner’s high status．Sandalwood(檀香)fans could send out a sweet
smell.
Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down. They developed into art works，in which tuanshan (round fans)and zheshan(folded fans)were the most common．
In the shape of a full moon，tuanshan was usually made of silk．They had beautiful birds and flowers on them．Women especially those in the imperial palace(皇宫),liked to use them．Meanwhile,men，especially the literati(文人)，used zheshan．The literati liked them because zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them．It was a way for them to show off their ability in literature,painting and handwriting．Almost anything can be painted on zheshan．
Today，Chinese people still use these fans，only not many people write or paint on them any more．Next time when you are waving a fan, you may think of the stories behind it.

62.大多数学生喜欢这种新方式，认为它有趣. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Luo’s.
“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share,” Luo said, “It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation.63. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.” 64.然而，一些父母有担忧. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers.
