What is hand fan and why you need this?

Above the hill, the sun was now spreading its fan of light...
The fan as a hand fan, or "abanico" in Spanish, has its origins in the 14th century in Asia, before being distributed all over the world.
Depending on the various and varied uses that fans are given, there are different types and formats of fans, the main ones being the following:
Fans for cooling and ventilation, used to protect against heat in a 100% ecological and responsible way.
Decorative fans, which can be hung on walls or placed on a fan rack on a flat surface.
Fans used as a fashion accessory or to demonstrate membership of a social class or community
Combat fans, especially those made of metal formerly used as weapons of war
dance fans, flamenco fans, in particular

Did you know that?
Almost 50% of users make the same spelling mistake. According to Google, half of the people who search for fans write fan or eventaille in the search bar.
The folding fan was invented in Asia, inspired in particular by the functioning of a bat's wings. In the 1500s, these same fans were distributed in Europe. This export enabled it to become a symbol of wealth and belonging. The diffusion and success of fans in Europe owes much to the fame of Catherine de Medici, who often used them during her public appearances. At the same time, the Japanese made metal fans to use as weapons or to carry messages.
