Staff Cecil Lee Posted February 5, 2002 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2002 It is typical of many if not all Chinese restaurants to use red for their main entrance.This restaurant uses a " Fan " shaped signboard.In Mandarin the phonetic sound of a Fan is " shan " represents good. At the same time, many Chinese scholars or officials used to carry fans and even fans were frequently used by Chinese Immortals. Here, fan is considered an auspicious symbol as it is said to also help drive away evil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
