I finally searched on Chinese internet enough to figure out that the writing on Chu Ying's fan is from the Weiqi Fu (Essays on Go) written by Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan. No one seems to have transcribed exactly what section of Weiqi Fu it's supposed to be though and I cannot read cursive.

 

I'm sure everyone already knows that in the anime, Kaga always carried a fan saying 王将; in the drama He Jiajia carries a fan saying 你死将 (checkmate; specific to chess variants).

ETA: I'm a dumb dumb who shouldn't be allowed to post at night, HJJ's fan is clearly meant to be read from right to left, 将死你 is the correct way to say checkmate 

ETA2: Over on twitter, megumi translated the idioms on the fan! https://twitter.com/megumim09/status/1345010490993471488

Yes, which means I can barely do a 1-to-1 map even when I have the regular script text in front of me lol
