In the early years of the Republic of China, there was Xiangmu Town. The Geng Family, who is famous for their dusters, is the head of the town on the west side of the Xiangxi River. The duster is made of chicken feathers, an ordinary handicraft, which has become famous through the hands of the Geng family.
