时光是一种非常奇妙的存在，经过它掌心的东西有的会石沉大海，有的却因为掏洗而焕发出更加魅力，像星星一样在夜中熠熠闪光，那些经受时光之河洗礼而幸存的老物件都是天赐之物，是人生旅程中的一段情，一炷香，一缕心曲，无颜而温馨，美丽又放达，能给我无数的启示与妙义，勾起我对泛黄的旧时发日的回忆和怀念。
Time is a very wonderful existence, some things passing through its palm will sink into the sea, while others will shine even more charming because they are washed away, shining like stars in the night. Those old objects that have survived the baptism of the river of time are all gifts from heaven, a love in the journey of life. A stick of incense, a strand of heart melody, beautiful and unrestrained, can give me countless inspirations and meanings, evoke memories and nostalgia for the yellowed old days.
鸡毛掸是一种非常古老的扫除工具，顾名思义是用鸡毛做卷的扫除工具，作为乡村最常见的生活工具，它像一团火一样照亮整个家，照亮我的发月岁月时光。
Chicken feather duster is a very ancient cleaning tool, as the name suggests, it is a sweeping tool made of rolled chicken feathers. As the most common tool in rural life, it lights up the whole house like a fire and illuminates my hair years.
做鸡毛掸需要公鸡身上的三处毛、尾毛、背毛、颈毛这三处的色泽鲜艳制成掸子，浑然一体。在那个年月，春节前杀鸡要先将好看的羽毛薅完再杀，用活鸡毛做的掸子色彩更鲜艳，因为胆子用毛量很大，大约三只公鸡的羽毛才能做一个胆子，所以人们在薅的时候都非常仔细，从不浪费一根有价值的猫，金毛感的肝是用差不多小拇指粗的肝制成长差不多一个手臂，做的时候是很费工夫和时间的。( WwW.ZuowenBa.Net )
To make a chicken feather duster, the three feathers on the rooster's body, tail feathers, back feathers, and neck feathers need to be brightly colored to create a duster that blends seamlessly together. In that year and month, before the Spring Festival, when killing chickens, one had to first pluck the beautiful feathers before killing them. A duster made of live chicken feathers had brighter colors because courage requires a large amount of feathers, about three rooster feathers are needed to make one courage. Therefore, people were very careful when plucking and never wasted a valuable cat. The golden haired liver was made of liver that was about the size of a little finger and grew to about an arm, which took a lot of effort and time to make.
外婆手很巧是家里有名的巧妇，每次要胆子时外公就会捉几只自己养的鸡，薅了自己养的鸡的毛给外婆，外婆先是用白面明帆打好浆糊，接着将鸡毛分成一小束一小束的，然后像刚才那样把鸡毛的基部站好，绑牢，以此类推，最后留出差不多一个手掌的长度就可以了。然后用刷好的浆糊的布条在鸡毛根部绕几圈，用手攥紧压实再插进花瓶里，等到鸡毛的浆糊凝固后就可以用了。
Grandma's hands are very skillful. She is a famous clever woman in the family. Every time she wants to be brave, Grandpa will catch a few chickens he raises and pluck the feathers of his chickens to give to Grandma. Grandma first uses white flour to make paste, then divides the feathers into small bundles, and then stands the base of the feathers like before, ties them tightly, and so on, leaving about the length of a palm. Then use a cloth strip of brushed paste to wrap around the base of the chicken feathers a few times, grip and compact it with your hand, and insert it into a vase. Wait until the paste of the chicken feathers solidifies before using it.
鸡掸子主要是用来掸灰尘的作用，类似吸尘器，但同吸尘器是两回事，吸尘器的作用是将灰尘收起来，但要用掸子掸家具，看着表面没有灰尘干净了，实则灰尘不灭，掸子给灰尘搬了个家，飞往了别处，根本不会消失。
A chicken duster is mainly used to sweep dust, similar to a vacuum cleaner, but it is different from a vacuum cleaner. The function of a vacuum cleaner is to collect dust, but when using a duster to sweep furniture, it may appear that there is no dust on the surface, but in reality, the dust does not disappear. The duster moves the dust to another place and it will not disappear.
为了保持胆子的蓬松和鲜艳，平时也不用胆子的，主要是怕掉毛变形。大多数人只是过年前才象征性的淡一下灰尘，以表示自己起伏的坎沉。在记忆中，在我孩儿时期，鸡掸子除了用来掸灰尘，有时孩子惹父母生气了，还会顺手用鸡毛掸的把来打孩子。我眼馋同学的中性笔已久，于是找同学借这支笔在以弄丢的借口把笔收入囊中。后来母亲回家问起我中性笔的来历，我支支吾吾答不上来，母亲看出破绽，抽出鸡毛掸狠狠的打了我一顿。天阴沉沉的，脑子里满是风吹树叶的声音，我趴在窗台上，任凭寒风吹打在我的脸庞，不停的回忆刚才发生的一切。鸟儿的啾鸣声也是那样的刺耳，仿佛要逃离这即将是倾盆大雨的现场。第二天我便把笔还给了同学，从此我再也没有通过同学的东西。
In order to maintain the fluffiness and brightness of the courage, it is not necessary to have courage in daily life, mainly to avoid shedding hair and deformation. Most people only symbolically lighten the dust before the Chinese New Year to show their ups and downs. In my memory, during my childhood, a chicken duster was not only used to sweep dust, but sometimes when a child made their parents angry, they would also use the handle of the chicken feather duster to hit the child. I have been craving my classmate's neutral pen for a long time, so I borrowed it from him and put it in my pocket under the pretext of losing it. Later, when my mother came home and asked me about the origin of my neutral pen, I hesitated and couldn't answer. My mother saw the flaw and pulled out a feather duster to beat me hard. The sky was gloomy, and the sound of the wind blowing leaves filled my mind. I lay on the windowsill, letting the cold wind hit my face, constantly recalling everything that had just happened. The chirping of birds is also so piercing, as if trying to escape from the scene where it is about to rain heavily. The next day, I returned the pen to my classmate, and from then on, I never passed anything from my classmate again.
时光如水，生命如歌，鸡毛掸在老百姓家中也用了几千年，在人们生活中起到了不少的作用。前几年我母亲看了一部电视剧，勾起了我童年的记忆，我曾试图去寻找鸡毛掸子，确实找到了一把，但也只能是一个摆设，作用不大了。如今他还陈列在我外婆的电视柜上。鸡毛掸子如今在农村中少见，但它却总能让我回望到那些流水是流水般逝去的女岁月，如诗如画如歌，变成了隐约的花香，次人心扉变成了茶，让人回味无穷，小啜饮一口，齿颊留香。
Time is like water, life is like a song, and chicken feather dusters have been used in ordinary people's homes for thousands of years, playing a significant role in their daily lives. A few years ago, my mother watched a TV drama that brought back memories of my childhood. I once tried to find a feather duster, but it was only a decoration and had little effect. Now he is still displayed on my grandmother's TV cabinet. Chicken feather dusters are rare in rural areas nowadays, but they always make me look back on those women's years that have passed away like flowing water. They are like poems, paintings, and songs, turning into a faint fragrance of flowers. The next person's heart becomes tea, leaving an endless aftertaste. Taking a small sip, the fragrance lingers on my teeth and cheeks.
