In many Asian regions, rooster feathers are commonly used to make feather dusters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Mr. Chung is the third generation of the shop Chung Leung Ching Kee and currently the only known person who hand makes feather dusters in Hong Kong. The family business was established by his grandfather over 60 years ago, and he inherited the shop from his father.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Mr. Chung uses feathers from a breed of chicken called <em>luhua ji<\/em> (\u8606\u82b1\u96de reed chicken) and rattan sourced from Indonesia to make his feather dusters. Each standard-sized feather duster is made with a thousand pieces of feathers, each carefully chosen.&nbsp; The feathers are sometimes dyed to produce brighter effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized third-picture\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/feather-duster-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2584\" width=\"535\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/feather-duster-01.jpg 1070w, https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/feather-duster-01-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/feather-duster-01-1024x436.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/feather-duster-01-768x327.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fig. 1 Chung Leung Ching Kee is located in an ally in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/feather-duster-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2575\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/feather-duster-02.jpg 640w, https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/feather-duster-02-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fig. 2&nbsp; This photo was taken some 60 years ago, in which the sign board of Chung Leung Ching Kee is found (on the left).
