Sugar Painting: A Sweet Traditional Craft
Sugar painting (糖画) is a traditional Chinese folk art with a history of over 600 years. It originated in the Ming Dynasty and became popular during the Qing Dynasty. Today, it is still loved by people, especially children.
Sugar painting is made of melted brown or white sugar. The artist holds a small spoon in one hand and a piece of marble (大理石) in the other. First, they melt the sugar in a pot over low heat until it becomes a thick syrup (糖浆). Then, they use the spoon to pour the syrup onto the marble, drawing various patterns quickly and skillfully. The patterns can be animals like dragons, tigers, rabbits, or characters from traditional stories.
What’s amazing is that the artist doesn’t use any tools to draw except the spoon and the syrup. They rely on their experience and skill to control the flow of the syrup. It only takes a few minutes for a beautiful sugar painting to be finished. After the syrup cools down, it hardens, and the artist can lift it up with a small stick.
In the past, sugar painters usually set up stalls in streets, parks or temples. They would attract children with the sweet smell of sugar and the wonderful patterns. For many older people in China, sugar painting is not just a kind of food but also a sweet memory of their childhood.
However, with the development of modern society, fewer and fewer young people are willing to learn sugar painting. The craft is facing the risk of disappearing. To protect this traditional art, some local governments have organized training courses for sugar painting. Some sugar painters also teach the craft in schools and communities.
Sugar painting is not only a delicious snack but also a precious part of Chinese culture. It carries the wisdom and creativity of ancient Chinese people. We should try our best to protect and pass it on to future generations.
36.How long is the history of sugar painting?
A.Over 300 years. B.Over 400 years.
C.Over 500 years. D.Over 600 years.
37.What materials are needed to make sugar painting?
A.Brown or white sugar, a spoon and a marble.
B.Chocolate, a brush and a piece of paper.
C.Flour, a knife and a board.
D.Milk, a bowl and a stick.
38.How do sugar painters draw patterns?
A.By using a brush and paint. B.By pouring melted sugar with a spoon.
C.By carving on the marble. D.By cutting paper with scissors.
39.Why is sugar painting facing the risk of disappearing?
A.Because it’s too expensive to make. B.Because it’s not delicious anymore.
C.Because fewer young people want to learn it. D.Because it’s difficult to sell.
40.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce how to make sugar painting.
B.To encourage people to protect sugar painting.
C.To share the writer’s experience of eating sugar painting.
D.To compare sugar painting with other traditional crafts.
