The word 'folding' seems very 'Eastern' to me.

In the past, we liked to write our thoughts of home and loved ones on paper, folding them into a small letter or love note. Each fold encapsulated the air, emotions, environment, and lighting at that moment, even the entire three-dimensional scene, all folded into this two-dimensional letter. When the journey was long and crossed oceans to reach the hands of the recipient, opening it would unleash the affection and longing of that time, transcending time and space.

This season's "Folding Fans of the Jiangnan" is just the same. The folding fan, synonymous with the East, originated in Jiangnan. When the fan is closed, it folds the misty rain of Jiangnan into your hand. As the fan opens, the pavilions, towers, and lush greenery of Jiangnan unfold before your eyes.
