9．Have you ever eaten a "painting"？Here it is--sugar painting. （1）它是一種傳統的中國民間藝術。 Just as its name suggests （暗示），the paintings are made from sugar.They can be regarded as works of art or eaten as desserts.
The art of sugar painting goes back to the Ming dynasty，about 400-600 years ago.At that time，the upper-class （上層的） people used sugar paintings as offerings （祭品） to Gods.In the Qing dynasty，sugar paintings became more popular. （2）They were even sold as desserts by many people. Today's sugar painting is more creative in forms.Cartoon sugar painting and 3 D sugar painting are bringing new life to traditional ones. （3）The shapes of sugar paintings usually include flowers，animals，cartoon characters and so on.
Nowadays，this art is winning support from both the public and the government.It has already been listed as Provincial Non-Material Culture Heritage （非物質文化遺產） by Sichuan government.
（4）制作糖畫是相當特別的。 The craftsman （手藝人） uses brown sugar as the main material，a spoon and a shovel as the tools and the marble slab （大理石板） as the "paper" . （5）The craftsman requires a lot of hard work to finish the whole process. So the craftsman has to practice it for hundreds of times.The culture of China and the spirit of sugar painting have been passed down through the sugar spoons of generations of craftsmen.
