Chinese Fan A Chinese Mandarin presented a folding fan to Longfellow. Caligraphy covers the fan with Longfellow's poem Psalm of Life written in Chinese. The paper forming the fan is thick and speckled with gold; a black border rims the top of the fan. Light-colored wooden slats support the fan folds, and the thick paper is attached at either side with carved wooden end pieces. Click here to return to Longfellow's Biography
