"Nemiza (the powerful goddess of the wind) wandered around our planet for many centuries, watching the lives of people. Seeing a huge number of human troubles, her heart was filled with pity and compassion. In order to help mankind alleviate a difficult life, the goddess gave people her magic fan. Since then, everyone a person in need could wave a fan, thereby creating a wind and sending a signal for help, "says the ancient Chinese legend.
A bit of history.
The first fans were invented in China in the second millennium BC. e. Then came a round-shaped paper fan and pen, which was later borrowed by Japan. In the VII century. in Japan, a folding fan was created, the basis of which was thin plates carved from a variety of materials (bone, wood, tortoise shell). The plates were fastened together, subsequently covered with silk or parchment. Already in the X century, the fan was spreading among aristocrats.
It was made of bamboo and very thick paper, which was skillfully painted with ink. As decoration, paintings were used that carry a favorable energy (calligraphic inscriptions, flowers, animals, birds, landscapes, etc.).
There is a long-standing belief - fanning himself with a fan, a person drives away evil forces.
The purpose of the mascot.
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 mascot is the zone of glory (south). If you need to strengthen the effect of the flow of qi energy in any zone - hang the fan on the wall, positioning it in a direction that is favorable for you so that it is pointing slightly up and at an angle of 45 degrees.
Today there is a wide range of colors and fan sizes.
When choosing the color of the Feng Shui fan, trust your feelings.
The color scheme you should like, contribute to the relaxation or restoration of 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 large apartments 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, a drawing is applied on the fan - a sakura branch, a dragon, a tiger, a turtle, a crane and others. Accordingly, the interaction of the talismans takes place, the effect of the priority talisman is enhanced.
