素扇可折
[sù shàn kĕ zhé]
Literally means 'simple fan that can be broken', metaphorically expressing fragility or purity. In traditional Chinese arts, especially Peking Opera, actors would break a simple paper folding fan as an elegant gesture to represent the breaking point or a dramatic climax. The handle thus symbolizes grace amidst destruction or loss, perhaps showing humility and transient beauty.
