Wang Qiyang from central China's Henan Province is an inheritor of sugar painting, an intangible cultural heritage. He uses a smooth stone slab as canvas and amber-glowing syrup as ink. With a copper spoon in hand, his deft wrist movements transform flowing sugar strands into a galloping horse in moments. This spirited steed carries wishes of leading the way to a bright future while the art itself embodies centuries of folk blessings.
