Well, the fan is a relatively new weapon to the weapons in taiji. There
are a couple of styles that fall under the major families - ie. Chen and
Yang. Master Helen Wu created a new set called Rainbow taiji which
incorporates a couple of styles into her form. The style that I practice is
called "4 directions fan" and it incorporates not only taiji but also other
Chinense martial arts (ie. Nanquan, Chang quan, etc.) - It's a beautiful
style! There's also another style called Mulan fan which is more of a dance
rather than a martial art.

I hope this is of some use.
