The Ming Dynasty

|
The Ming Dynasty was a time of adventure and travel. The great Chinese
mariners mapped the world. They brought back treasures from around the
globe.
Out of all the incredible things they brought back, some of which are on display today in the Forbidden Palace, one of the most popular items was the folding fan. Mariners brought many fans home from Japan and Korea. Fans had always been popular in ancient China, but the concept of a folding fan caught on quickly.
