This book aims to introduce Hong Kong's unique bird culture in a simple way, and to bring out the concept of life aesthetics in Guangdong by deconstructing the bird cage technology.
Since 2019, the author has been learning the Guangdong cage craft from Master Chan Lok-choi, the only surviving bird cage craftsman and Hong Kong intangible cultural heritage inheritor. While learning the art of the birdcage, he and the research team recorded different details of the craft, including the cultural and historical background of the birdcage, the craftsmanship and accessories of the bamboo cage, the current ecology of the industry, and how the bird's culture affects the landscape of the urban space, hoping to pass on this cultural skill by learning and documenting it.
