Paper in ancient China was primarily used for writing on. But shortly after the invention of paper in China, the Chinese found many other uses for it. They made paper kites, books, paper umbrellas, paper fans that were written or drawn on, paper windows (before glass was invented), and a whole bunch of other things. Also they did use it for clothing, early forms of silk, and shoes.
From reading books, the fan can tell stories by the pictures on them and are used in ancient Chinese dances. The science of the fan actually evaporates sweat faster and has always been in the Chinese heritage.

One of China 's greatest contributions to the world was the invention of paper. During the Han Dynasty (around 200 B.C.), the Chinese used plant materials and silk rags to make paper. They made durable, long-lasting paper by 105 A.D. This paper became the common form of writing materials for records and books. The Chinese also used paper for creating landscape and figure paintings, windows, lanterns, umbrellas, and fans.
