He is an oyster shell artist who is very popular among locals.

Chen Xuanmao believes that oysters are the main aquaculture fishery in Kouhu Township. In the past, oyster shells were discarded at will, and were recycled and reused, and new life was given by shearing and sticking, presenting the fishery, ecology and humanistic history of the outer umbrella. Egrets are the most common birds along the coast, and their number corresponds to the advantages and disadvantages of the environment.
