Can you live through the hot summer without an air conditioner (空调) Maybe your answer is “No!” But how did people in ancient China drive the heat away Hand fans were almost the only help.
China has been making hand fans for more than 3, 000 years. Hand fans came in different shapes, such as round and square. They were also made of different kinds of materials (材料). The earliest form of fans was the feather (羽毛) fans in the Shang Dynasty. Cattail leaf fans (蒲扇) were cheap and easy to make and they were the most useful kind for everyone. Sandalwood fans (檀香扇) could send out a sweet smell.
Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool people down. They developed into artworks, in which round fans and folding fans were the most common.
Round fans were usually made of silk. They had beautiful embroidery (刺绣) on them. Women liked to use them. In ancient China, people often compared a woman’s deserted life to round fans, for fans are no longer needed when summer is over. Nalan Xingde, a great poet, once wrote, “If only life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fans ”

Nature is a great musician. The sounds of rain, birdsong or leaves in the wind are all part of its music. These sounds make us feel different emotions (情绪). For this reason, they have been used in many songs. One good example is Blackbird by The Beatles. About halfway through the song, a blackbird’s sweet singing adds color to the melody (旋律).
Nature, however, has never received any royalties (版税) for its important role in music. Now, with Sounds Right, things are beginning to change.
Sounds Right is a new project of the Museum for the United Nations. The project looks at nature as a special artist. Many musicians from different countries have joined the project. They add nature sounds to their songs and share the royalties with nature.
Sounds Right is expected to attract more than 600 million listeners within the first four years. It will earn about 40 million U. S. dollars. The money will be used in two main ways. One is to save endangered animals and plants. The other is to protect the environment.
Brian Eno is a British singer. He is proud to be part of this project. “When you click on a song from Sounds Right, you can enjoy the beautiful sounds from nature,” he said. “You also get to hear the possibilities of a better world!”
