【英语强人系列】原创神话故事推理“芭蕉扇之迷”，多谢指点！
西游记中究竟有几把芭蕉扇,这一直是个迷,我个人觉得有两把,太上老君一把,铁扇公主一把。
理由如下:
1. 见 第五十九回 唐三藏路阻火焰山 孙行者一调芭蕉扇
灵吉笑道：“那妇人唤名罗刹女，又叫做铁扇公主。他的那芭蕉扇本是昆仑山后，自混沌开辟以来，天地产成的一个灵宝，乃太阳之精叶，故能灭火气。假若扇着人，要飘八万四千里，方息阴风。我这山到火焰山，只有五万余里，此还是大圣有留云之能，故止住了。若是凡人，正好不得住也。”
该段落说明扇子功能只是扇风灭火的,并没其他功效!扇人不是主要功能.说明扇子确实是铁扇仙的.
2. “第五十二回 悟空大闹金<山兜>洞 如来暗示主人公”中写到：
老君道：“我那金刚琢，乃是我过函关化胡之器，自幼炼成之宝。凭你甚么兵器、水火，俱莫能近他。若偷去我的芭蕉扇儿，连我也不能奈他何矣。”
这段说明太上老君也有一把,但是降伏兵器用的，在他认为,比金刚琢更厉害!这段也说明是收兵器的,
3. 如果扇子是老君的那把,她就没必要害怕天兵了，直接处理孙悟空就可以了,何必让牛魔王去死拼.
4. 天上的宝贝基本有两种归属,剧情结束必然还要物归原主的,这是必然，但扇子却被孙悟空还给了人家.
5. 如果扇子的确是老君的，最后收复他们的只能是如来，但剧本中写的是哪扎收服的牛魔王,
因此我认为西游记中的“芭蕉扇”就是两把扇子,而且是功能不同的两把!

参考答案:The Mystery of the Palm-leaf Fan
How many palm-leaf fans were there in the book "Journey to the West"? This has been a mystery. I personally think there were two, one held by the Supreme Lord Laozi and the other one by the Iron Fan Princess.
Reasons are as following:
1. See Chapter 59 – Tang Sanzang Is Stopped by the Flaming Mountain, Sun Wukong tries to borrow the Palm-Leaf Fan
Lingji smiled: “That woman is called Luosha, also named the Iron Fan Princess. Her Palm-leaf fan was a treasure from the beginning of time, born from Heaven and Earth on the heights of Mt Kunlun. It contains the essence of the sun, so it can extinguish fire. However if a human is fanned, he would be blown away for eighty-four thousand li’s, unable to stop. There are only fifty thousand li’s from my mountain to the Flaming Mountain. It is fortunate you have the ability to stall clouds. An ordinary person would not have been able to stop.”
This explains the Fan’s main function is to extinguish fire, and nothing else! Fanning people is not its main function, hence proving this fan truly belongs to the Iron Fan Princess.
2. Chapter 52 – Wukong upstages Jindou Cave, Buddha hints at his master
Lord Laozi: “My Golden Bracelet is what I used to become an immortal when I passed the Han Gate. I made this treasure when I was a youth. No matter what weapon you may have, or fire and water, none can go near it. Even I will not be able to help you if my Palm-leaf Fan was stolen from me.”
This except shows that the Supreme Lord Laozi had one as well, used to capture weapons. He believes it is even stronger than his Golden Bracelet.
3. If the Fan was the one belonging to Lord Laozi, the Iron Fan Princess would have no reason to fear the heavenly soldiers, she would have the ability to take care of Sun Wukong her self, there would be no need to let her husband the Bull Monster risk his life to fight Sun Wukong.
4. Treasures from heaven basically have two types of resting places. At the end of the book, they must be returned to their owners. But the Palm-leaf Fan was returned to another.
5. If the Fan had belonged to Lord Laozi, only Buddha would have the ability to capture the monsters. However it was Prince Ne Zha who captured the Bull Monster in the book.
Therefore I believe there were two Palm-Leaf Fans in "Journey to the West", two fans with completely different functions!
