How it's used
Folding fans are often associated with traditional Chinese aesthetics or martial arts performances. While modern electric fans are more common for cooling, the folding fan remains a popular accessory for its portability and elegant design. It is specifically distinguished from the rigid, non-folding fan known as 團扇.
