Strange fans in the Republic of China were not made in China. The earliest electric fan in China was brought in by an American businessman in 1896. The first person to buy this electric fan was a restaurant in Tianjin at that time. Later, someone bought a strange brand electric fan made by General Electric Company of the United States and gave it to Empress Dowager Cixi. Before the appearance of modern electric fans, China had a fan history of more than 2,000 years, which was the surprise and pride of China people.

The origin of exotic fans in the Republic of China

In the third year of the Republic of China, 19 14, three people scraped together funds, and Yang Jichuan made the first electric fan in China, mainly imitating imported electric fans from the United States. In February 2000, He, Yang Jichuan and Yuan Zongyao raised another 200 silver dollars to establish Huasheng Electric Appliance Factory in Hengbangqiao, Sichuan North Road, and began to produce limited ammeters, transmission transformers and generators.

In 6 years of the Republic of China, He, Yang Jichuan and Yuan Zongyao raised 65,438+0,000 taels of silver to buy Zhaofeng Road Yuanda Electric Appliance Factory, which is now Jin Rui Lane of Levin Road, as the new site of Huasheng Electric Appliance Factory to expand the production scale. Since then, the three men have officially resigned from their positions in the foreign firm and concentrated on the management of Watson's factory, with him as the manager, Yang Jichuan in charge of production and Yuan Zongyao in charge of finance. In the eighth year of the Republic of China, we bought 10 mu of land in Zhoujiazui Road to expand Huasheng Electric Appliance Factory.
