Later，with the invention of paper，folding（可折叠的） paper fans became popular during the Song Dynasty．There are usually beautiful （38） on fans．Some are landscapes（风景）．Others are flowers and animals．Moreover，many great people including Su Dongpo，a poet of the Song Dynasty，and Tang Yin，scholar （学者） and painter of the Ming Dynasty，once painted their masterpieces （杰作） on fans．This made fans not only（39） tools in daily life but also great artworks．
