Where is Tangren folk art?

Everyone knows that China is an ancient country with a history of 5,000 years of civilization, especially the traditional folk culture, with a long history. In addition to various traditional festivals, there are many special handicrafts among our people, which are still very popular today. For example, paper cutting, window grilling and so on. Of course, there are many folk snacks, which are also very popular. For example, sugar-coated haws and sugar-coated people, the folk snacks to be said today are sugar-coated people. Although this thing is edible, it is actually close to handicrafts.

Because the production process of sugar man is very exquisite, it needs a certain technical content, and it can't be made casually. In Beijing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there appeared a snack called Blowing Sugar. At that time, people first boiled the sugar, then picked some sugar from a straw and blew it, so that the sugar would blow up like a balloon, then molded the sugar man into various shapes by pinching or turning, and then cooled it. Generally speaking, sugar people are mainly animals, especially the zodiac.

In addition to blowing out the sugar man, there are also painted sugar men. This kind of sugar man is more common in Sichuan. First, draw the shape you want on the slate with syrup, and then wait until the shape is complete. When it cools slowly, slowly shovel Tang Hua with a spatula and pinch it on the bamboo stick. This kind of sugar painting is highly technical, and it requires the courage and caution of the artist to complete it smoothly, and the process needs to be completed in one go. At present, many children's parks often see people painting sugar people here.

There is another way that is more interesting. He is a sugar maker. As the name implies, he used a mold to make a sugar shaper. Generally speaking, sugar shapers take the images of longevity, god of wealth and bodhisattva. After being made, it can not only be eaten, but also be placed at temple fairs to enjoy the scenery. Plastic sugar people can also be seen on many festivals.
