The art of sugar painting is said to go back around 400-600 years ago to the time of the Ming dynasty when sugar animals or figures were used in religious rituals. Over time, sugar painting techniques and tools improved, bringing many new patterns to the craft, ranging from zodiac animals to cartoon characters.

Sugar painting can be found in various areas of China, but is typically found around the Sichuan Province of southwestern China along the streets or in the parks. There, you may find an artist at a wooden stand with a large marble or metal slab, a wheel with animal patterns, and a pot of melted sugar. Most artists have a wheel for people to spin, which determines which animal he/she will draw based on where the arrow lands.

Painting on a canvas is very different from painting with sugar, so when I first saw sugar painting in action, I was amazed at the precision and detail of each painting. Although there are varying techniques to this craft, most artists use a ladle to drizzle hot sugar onto a flat slab as an outline of a figure. Then, a small spoon is used to drizzle sugar in order to produce intricate patterns such as swirls or zig-zags. A wooden stick is used to hold the figure and a spatula-like tool removes it from the surface, fresh and ready to serve an enthusiastic child. Just imagine having your very own dragon souvenir made out of sugar!

Although sugar painting is not as popular as it once was, the craft has still captured quite an audience, and is gathering support left and right from the public and even the Government, which had sugar painting listed as a Provincial Non-Material Culture Heritage. Hopefully, the art of sugar painting will continue to last for many generations.

糖画是一种传统民间小食和艺术。师傅会用勺将溶化的糖汁在大理石版上一笔过地画图，然后在糖汁凝固前压下一条木棒，最后连棒子铲起，看起来有点像棒棒糖。

The number of sugar painters in the Sichuan province has been declining for some time, as kids these days are more attracted to computer games and gadgets than such ancient traditions, but the art it’s garnering support from both the general public and the Government, which had it listed as a Provincial Non-Material Culture Heritage.

糖画是一种传统民间手工艺，以糖为材料来进行造型的。所用的工具仅一勺一铲，糖料一般是红、白糖加上少许饴糖放在炉子上用温火熬制，熬到可以牵丝时即可以用来浇铸造型了。
在绘制造型时，由艺人用小汤勺舀起熔化了的糖汁，在石板上飞快地来回浇铸，画出造型，民间艺人的手上功夫便是造型的关键。当造型完成后，随即用小铲刀将糖画铲起，粘上竹签
