Learn to write 800 words and be a clay figurine.

The National Day holiday is coming. It happened that one of my mother's colleagues came back from Tianjin and brought me a gift-a clay figurine in a plastic ancient village.

When I saw the gift my aunt gave me, my heart was very happy. After saying "thank you", I couldn't wait to take the clay figurine Zhang from my aunt. I opened the box of the clay figurine, took out the little clay figurine wrapped in several layers of protective paper, and carefully peeled off those protective papers, and the true face of the little clay figurine was exposed. This small clay sculpture shows two children catching Sugar-Coated Berry; Two children are wearing new cotton-padded jackets, as if celebrating the Spring Festival. One of the two children has two candied haws in his hand, and the other child has nothing but his bare hands. So he went to grab the candied haws from the children. He climbed on the child's back, his arm stretched out like a gibbon in the zoo, while the child with Sugar-Coated Berry reached out to the other side and held it with the other hand to prevent him from catching it. Two children, one is robbing, the other is hiding, and the other is in high spirits and beaming; It's fun to look sad and frown. From their playful appearance, we can see a child's irresistible performance towards snacks. The biggest feature of the two children in this clay sculpture is that there is a small lock of hair on their foreheads, which makes people look more naive, naughty and lovely.

Then, my aunt told me a lot about clay figurine Zhang Caisu.

Zhang Mingshan, the founder of Tianjin clay figurine Zhang Caisu, is a colored sculpture created in the 9th century. It began in Daoguang period and has been passed down for six generations, with a history of 180 years. "Clay Fighter Zhang" pays attention to perfection when making clay figurines, using pure clay without impurities, and can only be used to shape clay figurines after several processes to become "cooked clay figurines", and the shaped works should not be exposed to direct sunlight or placed around the stove, but should be naturally dried. When the clay figurine is done, it's not over. It must be baked in a kiln at 700 degrees. After leaving the kiln, it can be finished by polishing, sorting and coloring. Usually, it takes about 30 days to complete a work.

After listening to my aunt's introduction, I think it is not easy to make a clay sculpture handicraft. I must take good care of this little clay sculpture.
