About
扇 is an ideogramic compound combining the 户 (door) component at the top-left with the 羽 (feather) component below-right. This structure reflects ancient doors woven from feathers or wings, which could block wind and sun while allowing air through. As a noun, the primary meaning is a hand-held fan for creating a breeze. It also functions as a verb meaning to fan or incite, and as a measure word for hinged, panel-like objects such as doors, windows, or screens.
