Hi, Jim, here’s a gift for you.                                     .

Answer 1

Hi, Jim, here is a gift for you .It is a folding fan , or “shanzi” in Chinese . The most interesting thing about a fan is that its name “shanzi” is a pun word . It shares the same pronunciation as the Chinese character “shan”, though in fact , they are two different characters . In Chinee the character “shan” means “kindness”, one of the virtues valued in Chinese culture . Perhaps , it is for this simple reason that , over hundreds of years , “shanzi”has been used as ideal gifts to friends or as decorations for rooms . Besides , poesm , calligraphy , or paintings on fans make them more meaningful . The fan symbolizes the fine and special craftsmanship of the traditional Chinese culture . You have seen a lot of China these days , so I hope this fan will give you another insight into the Chinese culture and tradition .
