Folk artists display skills at temple fair

Folk artist Hou Guoyi displays the technique of sugar sculpture blowing to the public. Sugar sculpture blowing is a traditional Chinese folk art where artists blow and sculpt hot sugar to create three-dimensional figures.

A cultural temple fair with a "Horse" theme was held at the museum, which also showed the craftsmanship of more than 20 intangible cultural heritages, including sugar sculpture blowing, paper-cutting, dough modeling, facial makeup and snuff bottle drawing.
