Dough Figurine, also known as mianren or miansu in Chinese, is a traditional Chinese folk handicraft with high artistic value. It has a history of more than a thousand years. Till today, you can still find such folk artist in some cities, such as Beijing, Tianjin, etc.
In ancient times, people sacrificed dough animals to the gods. With time went on, the art gradually lost its religious purpose but became a pure artistic creation.
The vivid figurine is made from purified wheat flour, glutinous rice flour mixed with bee-honey and glycerin. The colorful figurines will remain colorfast and intact without getting decayed for decades.
