Plot introduction
The banana fan appeared three times in the Journey to the West. The first time was in Pingdingshan, where the treasure that Taishang Laojun used to fan the fire was stolen by two children, Jin and Yin, to make a magic weapon. The second time was in Jindou Mountain, where Taishang Laojun used to surrender the green cow. The third time was the treasure fan of Flame Mountain and Princess Iron Fan. There is no description in the book about whether the fans of these two people are related.
In China's traditional culture and daily necessities, the banana fan was once an indispensable item for Chinese people to enjoy the cool. It can be seen in many painting books. One of the most classic is Wu Cheng'en's The Journey to the West's "the Monkey King Three-Tone Banana Fan". The magic of a cattail leaf fan leaves people endless aftertaste and happiness.
