It is characterized by flat and thin hair, soft quality, exquisite workmanship and beautiful shape, commonly known as "cool and leisurely bird hair fan". People often say that the wind fanned by this kind of fan is "gentle wind", which is especially suitable for the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and will not fan out the disease, so it is known as "a wonderful product to enjoy the cool". Why is the quality of Huzhou feather fan unique? "Huzhou Prefecture Records" said: "Things with outer feathers have been brushed by streams in our county, moist and proud, exquisitely made, and rare elsewhere." Huzhou folk has an interesting fairy tale about feather fans being soft and moist. Legend has it that Lv Dongbin, one of the "Eight Immortals", once sold jiaozi at Camel Bridge in Huzhou City and boiled jiaozi with boiled water under the ancient bridge. His taste is good and his business is booming. Since then, the fan maker has also used the water under the camel bridge to wash feathers. After washing, the feathers are bright, flexible and eye-catching. Of course, the myth is just a myth. There is a Tiaoxi in Huzhou City, which originated from Tianmu Mountain, but the water quality is good, so the washed feathers will be soft and shiny. In addition to water quality, strict material selection and exquisite workmanship are particularly critical. Feathers are wild birds and poultry. Wild birds mainly use the wings and tails of geese, eagles, cranes, owls, eagles, egrets, swans and green chickens. These birds are distributed in the dense reeds around Taihu Lake, Hongze Lake and Poyang Lake. Feathers of white geese produced in Hangjiashui Town and grey geese introduced later are selected for poultry, and they are also purchased in large quantities from Nanjing, Wuhu and Jiangxi. To make a feather fan, you have to go through eleven processes, such as selecting hair, cutting, washing film, separating film, sewing film, taking over, stringing hair, mounting handle, setting, flocking and painting. The whole process needs meticulous attention. The production of fan handle is also very particular. According to "Huzhou Prefecture Records", people in Hucheng made goose feather fans. "Its handle is about to split the feather tube and weave it, usually made of goose feathers. Its noble people take cranes as handles, agate and sandalwood chain copper wires as nails and hinges. Its price ranges from a few gold. " Later fan handles were generally made of bamboo and wood, and there were also goat's foot bones. The biggest beauty of goat bone fan handle is that it can't feel hot flashes for a long time, while high-grade fans are made of ivory and animal bones. After some artists make fans, they have to chop the upper end of the fan handle into a small water chestnut with the characteristics of Jiangnan water town with feather tubes. Really original, ingenious, icing on the cake.
