archaeological remains show that fans have been used in ancient Greece. In Europe, the Middle Ages was not the fan. first fan of Christian Europe was the flail (or fan ceremonial), dating from the sixth century. These services were used to drive the insects away from the bread and wine consecrated. His use died in western Europe during the Middle Age, but continues in the Orthodox Church and the churches of Ethiopia. fans were reintroduced in Europe in the 13th century and 14th century. Fans of the Middle East have been brought by the Crusaders. In the 15th century, Portuguese traders had fans in Europe from China and Japan. Fans became general people.
In the decade 1600 the folding fan, introduced from China, became popular in Europe. These fans are particularly well exposed in the portraits of high-born women of the time. 1 Queen Elizabeth of England fans can see two other sets of pom-poms in their guardsticks and the more rigid style fan, usually decorated with feathers and jewels. These rigid style fans often hung skirts of the ladies, but fans of that time only the most exotic folding survivors.
