In China, there is a wonderful traditional craft (手艺) called sugar - figure blowing (吹糖人).
A craftsman starts by heating sugar until it becomes soft and sticky (粘的). Then, he uses a special tool to take a small piece of the sugar and starts to blow into it. As he blows, the sugar starts to take shape. It can become a lovely animal like a rabbit or a bird, or even a beautiful flower.
The craftspeople have great skills and can create many kinds of figures easily. They carefully shape the sugar, adding details (细节) like eyes and ears. The children stand by and watch with excitement.
Xiaobao was one of these children. A craftsman gave him a small sugar figure as a gift when he was little. Xiaobao was so happy and kept it for a long time. From that day on, Xiaobao was amazed by the art. Now, he is a skilled craftsman himself. He brings joy to many children with his beautiful sugar artworks.
