Embroidery (刺绣) is often seen as “women’s work”. People think that it’s useless for a boy to learn embroidery. Therefore, Fu Jian’s parents didn’t want him to work in this industry. But Fu didn’t care. He believed he could do it well.
Fu was born into an embroidery family in Yangzhou. His mother is a master craftsman of Suzhou embroidery. Fu fell in love with this beautiful art when he was four years old. In his last year of high school, Fu was clear about his life goal: to promote this traditional art.
After graduating from college, Fu and his mother built a research center of Suzhou embroidery. Since then, he has created many new stitches (针法). He has also trained many workers.
Fu spends a lot of time on his works. He often works late into the night. Even so, he enjoys his work. “I am doing what I love, so I never feel tired,” said the 37-year-old.
Most recently, the artist “created” a piece of bronze ware (青铜器) on cloth. What gave him the idea to create this work? “Many bronzes can only be seen in museums. A work of embroidery, however, can be hung in one’s home or office. People can see it at any time,” said Fu.

Ink brushes (毛笔) play an important part in Chinese culture. They are widely used in Chinese paintings and writings.
Xu Wenyi is from Wenzhou. He runs an ink brush shop with his two brothers. Xu’s grandfather set up the shop in 1900. Xu’s father learned how to make the ink brush at 13, and ran the shop when he was ready. Xu also began to learn the skill at the same age. Xu and his brothers are the third generation to run the family shop.
There are about 40 steps to make an ink brush. The first step is to choose the hair. Every winter, when animal hair is the best, Xu Wenyi goes to other cities to collect the hair. Next, Xu and his workers make the hair tidy. It may take days, even a week, to get a small strand (缕) of brush hair. After that, they cut the hair in different sizes. When the hair is finally ready, they think about other parts of an ink brush. These days, the brothers try many new things. They make lanugo (胎毛) writing brushes and many new parents enjoy these brushes because the brushes keep babies’ hair. The brothers also show how to make brushes in their shop. They sometimes bring their brushes to different cultural festivals. Many culture lovers show great interest in the skill itself.
“We’re happy to make good brushes for people,” said Xu. “We want to pass on the skills if people are still writing with ink brushes. And we believe we can make better brushes by improving the skill.”

Think of a set of large, beautiful bronze (青铜) bells, each one making a different sound when hit. This is the Bianzhong, and it has been around for more than 2,000 years.
The Bianzhong was first used long ago, during (在……期间) a time called the Shang Dynasty. It became really popular later, in the Zhou Dynasty. These bells were more than just for music. They showed if someone was rich or important. Only kings and very rich people could own them.
The most amazing Bianzhong was found in an old tomb (坟墓) of Marquis Yi. This special set has 65 bells and can play lots of different sounds. Each bell can make two sounds, depending on where it is hit. This means the Bianzhong can play many pieces of music.

As visitors from other countries, you may see something special at places like parks and streets when you visit China. They are paintings made of hot, liquid (液体) brown sugar. These paintings are called sugar paintings. They are not only beautiful to look at but also delicious to eat. With their bright colours and fun shapes, they are very popular, especially (尤其是) with kids.
A sugar painting is a traditional Chinese art with a history of over 500 years. It starts during the Ming dynasty and becomes even more popular in the Qing dynasty. Some people believe that this art begins in Sichuan province and spreads across China because people love it so much.
At first, people use sugar to make small animal shapes for some special activities. Over time, this sugar art puts skills from Chinese shadow puppet and paper-cutting together to become the sugar painting today.
There are two main types of sugar paintings: flat paintings and solid sculptures. Flat paintings are easier to make, while solid sculptures need more skills.
To make a sugar painting, artists use brown or white sugar, a pot, a bronze spoon, a marble slab, a spatula and a wooden stick. First, they melt (融化) the sugar in a pot until it becomes liquid. Then, they use the spoon to draw thin lines with the liquid sugar on the marble. The artist works quickly because the sugar will become hard as it cools. In just a few minutes, they can create a beautiful picture of a bird, fish, dragon, or other shapes. Once the painting is done, the artist uses the spatula to lift it off the marble, adds a wooden stick for holding, and gives it to the buyer.
Isn’t this a wonderful traditional art? If you visit China, don’t forget to try a sugar painting!
1.What makes sugar paintings popular?
2.When do people start to make a sugar painting?
3.What do people use sugar to make at first?
4.How many things do artists need to make a sugar painting?
5.Who is this article for?

As visitors from other countries, you may see something special at places like parks and streets when you visit China. They are paintings made of hot, liquid (液体) brown sugar. These paintings are called sugar paintings. They are not only beautiful to look at but also delicious to eat. With their bright colours and fun shapes, they are very popular, especially (尤其是) with kids.
A sugar painting is a traditional Chinese art with a history of over 500 years. It starts during the Ming dynasty and becomes even more popular in the Qing dynasty. Some people believe that this art begins in Sichuan province and spreads across China because people love it so much.
At first, people use sugar to make small animal shapes for some special activities. Over time, this sugar art puts skills from Chinese shadow puppet and paper-cutting together to become the sugar painting today.
There are two main types of sugar paintings: flat paintings and solid sculptures. Flat paintings are easier to make, while solid sculptures need more skills.
To make a sugar painting, artists use brown or white sugar, a pot, a bronze spoon, a marble slab, a spatula and a wooden stick. First, they melt (融化) the sugar in a pot until it becomes liquid. Then, they use the spoon to draw thin lines with the liquid sugar on the marble. The artist works quickly because the sugar will become hard as it cools. In just a few minutes, they can create a beautiful picture of a bird, fish, dragon, or other shapes. Once the painting is done, the artist uses the spatula to lift it off the marble, adds a wooden stick for holding, and gives it to the buyer.
Isn’t this a wonderful traditional art? If you visit China, don’t forget to try a sugar painting!
