Lotus and Koi Tuanshan Chinese Hand Fan
Bring a touch of classical Chinese elegance to your wardrobe with this traditional tuanshan (团扇), a round Chinese hand fan inspired by the refined accessories seen in historical Chinese dress. Its delicate transparent fan surface features embroidered lotus flowers and koi fish, creating a peaceful scene associated with harmony, prosperity, and the beauty of nature.
Unlike a Chinese folding fan, the tuanshan has a fixed round silhouette with a softly scalloped edge. The compact shape is easy to hold, display, and style with traditional clothing, making it a beautiful finishing touch for Hanfu, Qipao, Cheongsam, and other East Asian-inspired outfits.
Elegant Embroidery Inspired by Chinese Nature
The combination of lotus and koi is rich in symbolism. The lotus rises cleanly from the water and is admired in Chinese culture for its association with purity, grace, and inner strength. Koi fish symbolize abundance, good fortune, and vitality. Together, these motifs create a fan that feels both decorative and meaningful.
Light green edging frames the embroidered surface, while the solid wood handle adds a warm, natural contrast. A dark green tassel with a white bead completes the design, giving the fan a gentle movement whenever it is carried or used in photographs.
