五、传统文化阅读理解。（2025·江苏泰州靖江期末）
The sugar painting, as the name implies(暗指), is a painting made of sugar. The sugar is for us to taste, and the painting is for us to enjoy.
Since the Warring States Period, people have loved sweets and had different ways of making sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, people greatly improved skills of sugar making. So sugar, the rare thing that once could only enter the imperial family, also went into common people's homes. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people created patterns(图案) using molten sugar, and the sugar painting came out.
The sugar painting is different from other kinds of paintings. Sugar painters use syrup(糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the "paintbrush", and a smooth table as the "paper". To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup will become hard if it cools, the painters have to finish the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is finished.
However, it's a pity that this art is dying recently. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes(形状) has become less diverse because of fewer needs. What's worse, only a few old sugar painters are willing to pass on this kind of art.
For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, the sugar painting has entered people's daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual(精神的) support of people across centuries. Now, the art of sugar painting has been an intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产) in China. So we Chinese should remember, cherish and carry forward the art forever.
