The language of the fan. Prepared by: Plotnikova Maryana 11B class A fan is a small, usually folding fan for fanning the face, neck and shoulders. In the XVII century, the "fan language" appeared, it allowed a lady to tell her boyfriend everything she thinks about him. "Yes" – the fan was applied to the right cheek, "no" – to the left. "I'm waiting for an answer" – a blow with a folded fan on the palm of his left hand. If a girl rejected advances, she would serve the fan with the lower end. It was even possible to set an hour for a meeting - the time was determined by the number of open plates. If the fan was folded sharply, it was as if they were saying: “I am not interested in you!” When the folded fan was held straight, it meant: “Speak boldly.” If they opened one door, they offered fraternal, pure friendship; if two - loving friendship. Thank you for your attention.
