五、阅读理解
Hello kids! Today, we are going to learn about something really cool—making fans. And these fans are special. They are not just tools. They are pieces of art!
Xu is 57 years old. He still remembers the day he went to a bamboo forest with his father. They were looking for a special kind of bamboo called “jade(玉)bamboo” to make fan ribs(扇骨). This kind has a special white coating(涂层)called wax(蜡). It keeps the bamboo healthy and smooth.
Bamboo for fans needs to be just right—not too young and not too old. Five-year-old plants are the best.
Xu learned from his father. Now, Xu is really good at making fan ribs. When a fan is closed, you can see the two main bamboo pieces that hold it together.
Fans are not just for cooling. They are full of art and culture. A long time ago, people didn't care much about the fan ribs. They only wanted the painted fan. But now, everyone knows that handcrafted fan ribs are beautiful and valuable.
Xu's dad always made fans by himself. He thought that making every part of the fan by himself kept his art special. Xu still picks bamboo every year. He cooks it, makes it dry, and keeps it in his workshop for five years. This makes the bamboo strong and ready for making fans.
Even after being made into a fan, the bamboo gets older over time. Sometimes it gets a little darker. When you hold a fan, you can feel its story.
And that's the magic of fan making!
