Is painting sugar people an intangible cultural heritage?

Painting sugar people is an intangible cultural heritage. According to relevant public information, this handicraft technology has a long history and has been passed down for hundreds of years, representing a form of Chinese folk art. Due to the complicated skills of sugar painters and the development of modern food industry, this handicraft has gradually lost its market and is on the verge of disappearing. Therefore, in order to protect and inherit this traditional handicraft, in 2006, the China Municipal Government listed the sugar painter in the national intangible cultural heritage list.
