Lanting Ji Calligraphy Chinese Round Hand Fan with Tassel

Carry a small piece of Chinese literary culture with this elegant Chinese round hand fan, known as a tuanshan (团扇). Its softly scalloped, flower-like silhouette is printed with calligraphy from the celebrated Lanting Ji—the “Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion,” one of the most admired works in the history of Chinese calligraphy.

With its warm khaki-toned fan face, vermilion seal-style accents, smooth wooden handle, and delicate pearl tassel, this traditional Chinese hand fan brings a calm, scholarly finishing touch to Hanfu, Qipao, Cheongsam, tea ceremony looks, and East Asian-inspired interiors.

Chinese Round Hand Fan Inspired by Literati Art

Unlike a Chinese folding fan, this tuanshan hand fan has a fixed round face—a classic form associated with grace, refinement, and traditional palace aesthetics. The flower-edged outline gives the piece a romantic, decorative character, while the flowing calligraphy turns it into an accessory that invites a closer look.

Lanting Ji is especially meaningful in Chinese culture. Written by Wang Xizhi during the Eastern Jin dynasty, its expressive brushwork became a timeless symbol of elegance and the cultivated spirit of poetry, friendship, and nature. Whether you can read the script or simply admire its rhythmic beauty, this fan adds cultural depth to your outfit or display.
