When Xiong Chuanfa blows a lifelike tiger out of sugar in just minutes, kids look at him in surprise, thinking he is a magician.
Xiong has been blowing sugar figurines(吹糖人) for over twenty years. Blowing sugar figurines is a traditional Chinese folk art with a history of over 600 years and is listed as a state - level intangible cultural heritage.
Every morning, Xiong prepares the sugar and drives to different markets in Nanchang to start his magic show. He heats the sugar, pulls off a little to make a ball and blows it into different shapes such as a rabbit or a monkey.
People, especially little kids, are interested in his skills. What's more, many college students are drawn to the art, waiting in line for hands - on(动手的) experience. Among them, Simon, a foreign student, couldn't help having a try. Though it looked easy, he found it difficult to make it. Thanks to Xiong's help, Simon finally saw a horse slowly taking shape. Simon was deeply moved after learning about the art. "I just can't believe the traditional folk art can be kept so well here. I love it. Chinese culture should be spread around the world," he said.
This art is passed down for four generations in Xiong's family. His 6 - year - old son often blows sugar balloons, just like what he used to do as a child. "We will pass on the intangible heritage," said Xiong.
