“糖画(tánghuà),” a traditional Chinese folk handicraft with a history of more than 500 years, originated in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and gained more popularity in the Qing Dynasty (1616-1912). It is said that this handicraft was born in Si Chuan province (in southwest China) and gradually, due to its unique charm, “糖画(tánghuà)” gained wider recognition around the country.
According to some academic studies, at the very beginning, the ancient Chinese created small animals made of sugar in molds for their religious rituals. Later, further development of this sugar art was achieved by employing the techniques of Chinese shadow puppetry and Chinese paper cutting. As time passed, it gradually evolved into the contemporary “糖画(tánghuà)” that it is today.
