The art of blowing sugar is an important part of the intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). It has a long (1) history of more than 600 years. Xiong Chuanfa, 34 years old, has been working on blowing sugar figurines (小塑像) for more than twenty years. He said it looks easy, but it's very (2) difficult to master the skill. Do you know (3) how to make sugar figurines? Here are three steps.
First, the artist heats (加热) the syrup (糖浆) to a high (4) temperature about 140°C. Next, he pulls (拉) off a small piece and makes it into a ball with an open center, and then presses (按压) the open area together and stretches (拉伸) it to form a tube (管子). (5) Finally, he blows air into the tube and makes it into different shapes.
Every morning, Xiong gets up early to prepare the molten (溶化的) syrup and drives to start his "magic show" around his city. Many people are interested in it, especially little (6) children. When he blew a cute puppy out of molten maltose in just minutes, many kids looked carefully at him with great (7) interest, thinking he was a magician (魔术师).
He hopes this special art can let people (8) feel its beauty. He also hopes to help them learn more about the Chinese traditional (9) culture. Xiong said, "Sugar paintings and sugar figurines are childhood memories of several generations of Chinese people."
