榮昌折(zhe)扇(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan),從農耕時(shi)(shi)(shi)代走向信息時(shi)(shi)(shi)代,歷(li)(li)經400多年悠悠歷(li)(li)史(shi)。據《榮昌縣志》記載,折(zhe)扇(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)古稱(cheng)聚(ju)頭(tou)扇(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan),又名卷扇(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)。根據歷(li)(li)史(shi)記載是唐朝日本遣唐使朝賀皇帝唐太宗以貢品(pin)入國,當時(shi)(shi)(shi)被(bei)稱(cheng)為(wei)(wei)倭扇(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)。宋(song)代倭扇(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)開始(shi)在官家和民間廣泛出現,并規模生產。《夷堅(jian)志》上(shang)也(ye)說:宋(song)高(gao)宗有折(zhe)疊扇(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan),以玉孩兒為(wei)(wei)扇(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)墜(zhui)。”而真正全(quan)面被(bei)百姓所喜(xi)歡和普(pu)及是明朝。
榮昌(chang)折(zhe)(zhe)扇明朝(chao)(chao)嘉靖年間由朝(chao)(chao)鮮傳入(ru)工藝(yi)。當時(shi),榮昌(chang)城(cheng)北響石板一帶(dai)農民利(li)用農閑(xian)時(shi)間,以榮昌(chang)當地盛(sheng)產的黃(huang)竹制作扇心扇夾(jia),糊上黑紙,生(sheng)(sheng)產硬青、皮底(di)兩類折(zhe)(zhe)扇,在(zai)集市上出售。至明朝(chao)(chao)萬歷(li)(li)年間已成朝(chao)(chao)廷貢品。歷(li)(li)史有記載明朝(chao)(chao)護(hu)送貢品耽擱二被(bei)問罪。明清兩朝(chao)(chao)在(zai)榮昌(chang)設二品官(guan)(guan)負責折(zhe)(zhe)扇造辦和貢品押(ya)運(在(zai)原(yuan)國(guo)營折(zhe)(zhe)扇廠(chang)原(yuan)址(zhi)曾(ceng)有官(guan)(guan)碑(bei)記錄)至嘉慶、道(dao)光年間,折(zhe)(zhe)扇生(sheng)(sheng)產因為移民擴充有了一個更大大發展時(shi)期,由副業(ye)生(sheng)(sheng)產走向(xiang)專(zhuan)業(ye)化生(sheng)(sheng)產而集中于縣(xian)城(cheng)。
榮昌折扇(shan)(shan),以棕(zong)(zong)竹(zhu)、毛竹(zhu)為(wei)之,被(bei)稱為(wei)懷(huai)袖雅物。榮昌折扇(shan)(shan)在光緒初年(nian)(nian)(nian)開始采用(yong)楠竹(zhu)扇(shan)(shan)心、扇(shan)(shan)夾和質(zhi)地(di)更(geng)為(wei)堅韌,花紋(wen)自(zi)然(ran)美觀的(de)棕(zong)(zong)竹(zhu)扇(shan)(shan)夾,折扇(shan)(shan)品種(zhong)新增全(quan)楠、正棕(zong)(zong)、穿葉串子(zi)三大(da)類,刁、嵌(qian)、漆(qi)(qi)、繪等也用(yong)于折扇(shan)(shan)生(sheng)(sheng)產(chan)(chan)(chan)。城(cheng)中扇(shan)(shan)鋪發(fa)展到(dao)(dao)四(si)十余(yu)(yu)家,加工(gong)(gong)(gong)攤(tan)子(zi)戶(hu)達(da)100余(yu)(yu)家,最(zui)高年(nian)(nian)(nian)產(chan)(chan)(chan)量400萬把(ba),除在省(sheng)銷售外,還遠銷云南、貴州、陜(shan)西等省(sheng),成為(wei)榮昌頗負盛(sheng)名的(de)特產(chan)(chan)(chan)之一。這是折扇(shan)(shan)業(ye)的(de)興盛(sheng)時期(qi)。到(dao)(dao)1912年(nian)(nian)(nian),折扇(shan)(shan)會員登(deng)記名冊記載,先后經營(ying)此業(ye)仍保(bao)留會籍者(zhe),已達(da)202家行(xing)號(hao),足見其(qi)源遠與(yu)興盛(sheng)。辛亥革(ge)命成功后,折扇(shan)(shan)加工(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝日臻(zhen)完美。漆(qi)(qi)、刁、嵌(qian)、刻、燙花、小磨(mo)、鐵金、銀粉寫(xie)畫(hua)等技藝廣泛應用(yong)于串葉白(bai)扇(shan)(shan)生(sheng)(sheng)產(chan)(chan)(chan),深受(shou)各界人士喜愛而風行(xing)一時。5年(nian)(nian)(nian)內(nei)(nei),城(cheng)內(nei)(nei)折扇(shan)(shan)經營(ying)店鋪達(da)100多(duo)家,加工(gong)(gong)(gong)攤(tan)子(zi)戶(hu)500多(duo)戶(hu),專業(ye)生(sheng)(sheng)產(chan)(chan)(chan)工(gong)(gong)(gong)人3000人,年(nian)(nian)(nian)產(chan)(chan)(chan)折扇(shan)(shan)506萬把(ba),除國內(nei)(nei)諸省(sheng)市之外,還遠銷泰國、印(yin)度、緬(mian)甸等國家,達(da)到(dao)(dao)鼎盛(sheng)。據說當時榮昌折扇(shan)(shan)的(de)年(nian)(nian)(nian)產(chan)(chan)(chan)量超(chao)過(guo)了蘇杭折扇(shan)(shan)的(de)總和。榮昌折扇(shan)(shan)能生(sheng)(sheng)產(chan)(chan)(chan)全(quan)楠、正棕(zong)(zong)、硬青、皮底、全(quan)棕(zong)(zong)、羽(yu)毛、綢面吊尾舞(wu)蹈(dao)、串子(zi)、漆(qi)(qi)嵌(qian)等11大(da)類,345個花色,可謂琳(lin)瑯滿目,繁花似錦。別(bie)看一把(ba)小小的(de)折扇(shan)(shan),工(gong)(gong)(gong)種(zhong)就有16個,工(gong)(gong)(gong)序(xu)則(ze)有146個。
