Dough figurine, also known as dough modeling, new-year modeling and dough decoration, is a kind of Chinese folk arts. It is simply made but of high artistic value. As early as the Han Dynasty, dough modeling in China has already entered the written records. Soft dough of various colors is mainly made of flour or glutinous rice flour, adding other components such as pigments, paraffin and honey, and then going through the process of crack prevention and mildew proofing. Dough craftsman draw materials casually based on the required. After a repetition of pinching, rubbing, twisting and lifting by hand and poking, cutting, carving and nicking by bamboo knife, the body, the hands and the face of the figurine are shaped by them. Dressed up with hair accessories and clothes, all of a sudden, a vivid artistic figurine emerges. Dough figurine was added into the second batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2008.
