As early as the Han Dynasty (202 BC–220 AD), dough figurine craft making in China was already recorded in history. For thousands of years, skilled craftsmen transformed a basic food material – dough – into lifelike, vivid and exquisite pieces of art. To support the reinvigoration and future development of this fascinating, time-honored craft, the Chinese government added dough figurine craft making to the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2008.
