Since the Warring States period （战国时期），the ancient people loved sweets and developed methods of producing sugar.In the Tang Dynasty，there was huge progress in the technology of sugar making.And sugar，the precious product once only served to the emperors and princes，also went into common people's homes.With the cultural and economic （经济的） development of Song and Yuan Dynasties，people became less interested in only tasting sweetness.In the Ming Dynasty，some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar，and sugar painting appeared. Sugar painting is different from normal painting.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 may become hard if it cools，the painters have to produce the work very quickly.They move the spoon full of syrup up and down，left and right.Soon a sugar painting is done. ★ .The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs.What's worse，few people seem to be willing to pass down the art except those aging sugar painters.
