Xiaoguo clay sculptures are seen at Linyi's first intangible cultural heritage expo on June 3. The folk art originated from the intermediate stage of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) at Xiaoguo village of Linyi's Lanling county. The small sculptures usually depict gods or the Buddha, figures from traditional operas, beauty, children or auspicious animals. [Photo by VCG/dzwww.com]
