With the continuous sprinkling of sugar, in less than 1 minute, vivid images of birds and beasts, flowers and birds, insects and fish appeared in front of everyone. In particular, the majestic Youlong and colorful Cai Feng are breathtaking.
As soon as the zodiac is called, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, flowers, birds, fish, insects, birds and beasts will appear in front of you with the continuous flow of sugar, and then insert a bamboo stick while it is hot, and you will be done. The child is holding a flying dragon or Cai Feng, staring at the sunshine. It is so clear and vivid that he can't bear to eat it for a while. He just licked it gently with the tip of his tongue and proudly showed it off to his companions, which made people drool.
"Tang Hua is a folk art, people under 12 buy Tang Hua because it is delicious, people aged 12~25 because they look good, others because they are curious, or Tang Hua reminds them of their childhood."
I saw him sitting in front of the stall, swinging on the stove with a sugar pot in one hand and a ladle of syrup in the other. With a flick of the wrist, the sugar turned into a butterfly and floated on the slate. Qinghefang 1
2. Three sentences about the history of Tang Hua are more beautiful. As the name implies, Tang Hua is painted with sugar and tanghua, which is quite edible. People commonly call it "sugar bowl", "sugar bowl" or "sugar lantern shadow". This craft with Sichuan local characteristics has a history of more than 400 years. According to legend, it evolved on the basis of the production skills of the ancient "Sugar Prime Minister".
Tang Hua existed in the distant Tang Dynasty and originated in Zigong, Sichuan. Speaking of Sichuan, people who have known Tang Hua will definitely think of Chen Ziang in that folk story. This folk story tells the origin of the word "sugar cake". Do you want to know this story I will bring it to you later, but now I want to say that he is also a historical figure in Tang Hua and a scholar in the Tang Dynasty. According to legend, hundreds of years ago, there was a scholar who went to Beijing to be the top scholar, but unfortunately he didn't get in. But he has no money to go home. However, this young intellectual is very clever. He happened to see a piece of yellow sugar melting. In a flash of inspiration, he melted the yellow sugar, coated it with syrup and sold it on the street. Everyone thought it was strange, so they bought it. Finally, the educated youth returned to their hometown. However, Tang Hua has been prosperous since the Tang Dynasty, and it did not gradually decline until the 2nd/kloc-0th century. We need to save this situation. This folk skill should not be allowed to disappear.

Tang Hua, a 260-word composition describing the son of Tang Hua, is familiar to everyone. With sugar as the material, spoon as the brush, and syrup as the ink, all kinds of vivid patterns and shapes come to life in the artist's hands in a short time.
A small wooden box with a polished marble board on it, a round board with various sample patterns on it on the right, and a rotatable bamboo arrows. This is all the tools for making Tang Hua.
Every time I visit the park, I will see many booths in Tang Hua, and every booth is surrounded by greedy children. The children scrambled to turn bamboo arrows on the disc, hoping to turn to their own zodiac signs.
The old man who made Tang Hua was also amused by naughty children. "Oh, it's my zodiac sheep!" A boy cheered, and the old man scooped up half a spoonful of syrup and scratched it off the sheep's head.
The old man's hands rose and fell from time to time, waving skillfully on the marble slab. It's done! The old man picked up the bamboo stick in his left hand, dropped three drops of sugar on the sheep with his right hand, stuck the bamboo stick on it, carefully picked up the "sheep" and handed it to the boy.
I was also attracted by such a lively scene, dragging my mother to the front of the stall, paddling bamboo arrows on the disc with my forefinger, and the disc turned. The rotation speed of the disc gradually slows down and stops-"Oh! It's a dragon! " I hugged my mother, and the old man said to me, "Little girl, what luck!" " "The old man scooped up a spoonful of melted sugar and drew the dynamics of the dragon body first.
The old man smiled and stared at the slowly flowing syrup. "Those are two horns, oh, faucets and claws ..." The children on the side were shocked. The old man's hand rose and fell freely, leaving Longlin on the dragon.
The old man did it in one go, and the "dragon" was lifelike, which attracted the attention of parents standing by and won bursts of admiration. I grabbed my Tang Hua and took a sip. How sweet! Mother said, "Tang Hua is an art with a long history. It originated in the Ming Dynasty and became more popular in the Qing Dynasty. There is also a poem that records Tang Hua at that time.
The Prime Minister called for the melting of frosted flowers, and the arrangement of the treasure banquet was not arc-shaped ... "Eating fruity Tang Hua and looking at various shapes, I really like this traditional handicraft-Tang Hua.
5. The historical and humanistic value of Tang Hua Tang Hua is an advanced craft of folk artists, and he needs to be familiar with many knowledge such as human history, local customs, painting skills, sugar processing, etc. to become a qualified sugar painter.
Tang Hua originated in Sichuan. It is said that Chen Ziang, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, likes sugar very much. After eating for a long time, he felt that he lacked originality. So the sugar melted into syrup, and the smooth marble board was engraved with patterns of flowers, birds, fish and animals. Fill it with syrup and hold it in your hand when it cools and solidifies. Watch it while eating.
Later, Chen Ziang became a junior official in Chang 'an. In my spare time, I like to make sugar in the way mentioned above. One day, Chen Ziang was enjoying his goldfish made of sugar. The young prince saw the goldfish. The little prince cried for the goldfish in Chen Ziang's hand. When the eunuch inquired, he learned that it was edible sugar, so he wanted to come and give it to the little prince. When the little prince returned to the palace, he ate the goldfish and began to cry. When Tang Gaozong Li Zhi learned about this, he ordered Chen Ziang to perform in the palace.
After Chen Ziang entered the palace, he melted the sugar he carried with him. On the bright and clean table, he made sugar like a flower. He stuck a thin stick in the middle for the little prince. The little prince cried and laughed when he got it. Tang Gaozong Yandayue Li Zhilong, also known as Tang Hua. Therefore, Chen Ziang's official position has been promoted, and his official residence is on the right. After Chen Ziang retired and returned to China, in order to thank Sheng Longen, he specially accepted many apprentices to teach him skills. The disciples pushed it forward. Because Tang Hua was praised by the emperor, business flourished. Many people regard this as their own business and pass it on from generation to generation.
6. About writing Tang Hua's composition My hometown is a small village with mountains and water, which is very inconspicuous in all the villages in China! There is not a wisp of smoke from cities and villages over my hometown; The stream running around the village is not as dark as the stream around the city village; But fortunately, in my hometown, Tang Hua is a "work of art". Tang Hua is a work of art made of sugar. This is not so much a "work of art" as a favorite and snack for children.
I can easily see the school buying artists from Tang Hua. Every time after school, the booth selling Tang Hua is always crowded with classmates. It tickles me to see my classmates licking all kinds of Tang Hua and walking away! But what can I do? I'm broke now! I can only watch my classmates walk away …
Finally, one day, God took special care of me and gave me more than ten dollars. What I want to do with money most is to buy my dream Tang Hua. As soon as school was over, my classmates swarmed out. When I came to the booth where I bought Tang Hua, there was already a sea of people. I waited in line for a long time, and finally it was my turn. The artist who bought Tang Hua smiled and asked, "What are you going to carve, little friend?" I couldn't make up my mind at the moment, so he took out the sample. I glanced at the plastic foam full of samples and couldn't help shouting, "Oh, my God, so many!" " "There are dancing butterflies, pigs with big eyes, big dragons that can fly into the sky and underground, and big cocks that sing loudly ... In my choice, some students behind me stomp their feet, and some shout," Hey, choose quickly! " I can't stand the "blow" from my classmates, so I close my eyes and point casually: "Shit, don't point at Jinlong. "I saw my uncle put a little oil in the pot, then put a piece of sugar in it and cook it slowly on a small fire. Turn down the heat when the sugar can be extracted. Take out the spoon and scoop a spoonful of sugar. The spoon leans slightly and falls on the cold marble. My uncle's arms are soft and strong, and things are fast and slow. These two kinds of momentum are intertwined, so that the outline of the dragon is quickly outlined. My uncle took out a piece of silver and iron from his bag and carved something on the dragon's whole body. He bent his elbow up and down, savoring the beauty of dancing, and soon a lifelike dragon was made. I took a bite of the dragon and it filled my heart sweetly. Dragon seems to take me flying in the sky and lead me to success.
Look, this is the essence of China-Tang Hua, who also witnessed the beauty and development of handicrafts in China.
7. The poem about candy in The Book of Songs Daya Mian: "Purple tea is like pulp." Zheng Xuan wrote: "Lettuce is bitter and sweet as a clam."
Song Zhen Xiu De sent a preface to Zhou Tianji: "Ill-gotten wealth; As far away as dirt; Unfortunate and poor; Sweet as honey. "
This has something to do with sugar, which is malt syrup.
There's another one:
Wen Song Tianxiang's poem "Song Zhengqi": "Zhong Ding is as sweet as a cup of tea, and it is hard to get it."
This is more in line with your requirements, and it is the sugar in the story, just as a metaphor, not a direct description of sugar.
There is also: the geometry of life, no fragrant mash like honey in spring and summer (Du Fu's)
A statue of spring wine is so sweet that no one knows (Han Yu's)
Gao Xiao's poems are based on a strong aversion to sweet wine. (of Bai Juyi)
I hope I can give you some inspiration and explain that there are basically no ancient poems that directly write sugar. I tried my best.
Landlord, look again.
8. Historical background of Tang Hua 20 12-04-30 19:02 Historical origin of Tang Hua Although Tang Hua's art was loved by ordinary people, it was rarely written in the old society, and it was not given its due position in official history or private records.
The only official record we have seen so far is very late. In the year of Tong Yuan in Qing Dynasty (1909), Chengdu folk custom said in the first month: "On the first day of New Year's Day, the market stops trading ... only small enterprises specialize in selling children's money, such as ... sugar cakes (that is, Tang Hua-introducer)", and an art map of woodcut artists was attached.
Although this information is very valuable, it is impossible to explore the historical origin of Tang Hua. About the origin of Tang Hua, most of them come from legends.
During the visit, many artists told a very interesting story. It is said that "sugar cake" originated in Chen Ziang in the Tang Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, this small folk craft was actually related to the great revolutionary poet who created the poetic style in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Chen Ziang (66 1-702) was born in Shehong (now Shehong County, Sichuan Province) in the Tang Dynasty.
According to legend, Chen Ziang liked to eat yellow sugar when he was in his hometown. But his diet is different.
First, melt the sugar and pour all kinds of small animals and flowers on the clean and smooth desktop. It's interesting to hold it in your hand after solidification and enjoy it while eating.
Later, Chen Ziang went to Chang 'an, the capital, to study and seek an official position. Because he first arrived in Chang 'an, the capital, he just became a small official. When I have nothing to do, I will also do the same thing with yellow sugar brought from my hometown to kill my leisure time.
One day, Chen Ziang was admiring his "works". Who knows the eunuch in the palace passed by with the little prince, who saw the little animal in Chen Ziang's hand and clamored for it.
When the eunuch found that these little animals were made of sugar, he asked the prince for some and returned to the palace happily. Unexpectedly, after returning to the palace, the little prince ate all the sugar and cried for it. This did not deter the emperor, so the eunuch had to come forward and report back truthfully.
After hearing this story, the emperor immediately wrote a letter to Chen Ziang, letting him enter the palace and asking him to perform on the spot. Chen Ziang melted the yellow sugar he brought, poured a copper coin on the bright and clean spring water, glued it with bamboo chopsticks and gave it to the little prince, who immediately burst into laughter.
The emperor blurted out the word "sugar cake" as soon as he was happy. This is the origin of the name "sugar cake". As a result, Chen Ziang was promoted, and the official went to the right.
Later, Chen Ziang took off his clothes and returned to his home. In order to commemorate the emperor's kindness, but also because of the boredom of living in seclusion, I received several apprentices to teach this skill. These disciples passed on to their disciples and spread to all directions.
Some simply take this as their business and start a candy cake business in the countryside. Although this kind of sugar cake business is small, it has been appreciated by the emperor, so the business is very prosperous and more and more people are learning, which has been passed down from generation to generation. This skill has been passed down to this day (the narrator is Fan Deran, an old Tang Hua artist, etc. ).
Another legend is that a scholar in the Tang Dynasty went to Beijing to take the exam, but unfortunately he came last and had no money to go back to his hometown by bus. Down and out journey, thinking hard about how to solve the livelihood.
One day, I suddenly saw the melted yellow sugar, which triggered my inspiration, so I used it for painting and calligraphy. Unexpectedly, it caused a sensation in Beijing, and people felt novel, so they rushed to buy it, and the scholar made a fortune.
Amazing: "sugar wins people's hearts, and yellow sugar wins gold." Therefore, in the traditional Tu 'an, a conjoined "Jin Wanliang" four-character model (narrator, Du, etc. ).
Although the above legends are very interesting and can be collected as folk stories, they cannot be used as the basis for studying the history of Tang Hua. But it is just a "big flag" that the older generation of artists pulled in order to survive and improve the value of this craft.
This situation is common in handicraft industry in feudal society of our country. Our country's "craftsmen all have ancestors they worship, and they also have secret methods handed down from generation to generation."
(Li Yenong's Slavery and Feudal Guild in China) It is said that Tang Hua began in the Tang Dynasty. Although it is an artist legend, it still has some influence. This is because the production technology of' sand sugar' appeared in Suizhou, Sichuan (now Suining, Sichuan) in the Tang Dynasty, which was a great progress in the history of sugarcane sugar production in China and did not lay a material foundation for the emergence of Tang Hua.
In the Qing Dynasty, Liang Zi wrote "Essays on Two Kinds of Anns", Volume V "Local Scenery", saying: "The name of rock sugar was unknown before the Tang Dynasty. The ancients only had glutinous rice, which was fried by Mi Le ... Emperor Taizong sent envoys to Medog (now China and India) to get the method of boiling sugar, and recruited Yangzhou to take sucrose as a pot. If it is used as a preparation, the color and taste of the western regions are getting farther and farther, but it is just the art of sand sugar. "
Lu You, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said more clearly in Volume VI of Notes on the Old Learning Temple: "I heard Mao De say,' China has no sugar in sand. When Emperor Taizong paid tribute to foreign countries, he asked people: What is this? The cloud is fried with sugarcane juice', but it is fried with foreigners in its way. Since then, China has had sand sugar. " Sichuan Satin was very famous in Tang Dynasty, mainly produced in Yizhou (now Chengdu), Zhou Shu (now Chongqing County), Zizhou (now Santai County) and Suizhou (now Suining City), all of which were local tributes.
Tang Hua artists are used to using Huai sugar and candy as raw materials. Tang Huai refers to the sand sugar produced in Tuojiang River basin with Huaikou, Jintang County, Chengdu as the distribution center; Candy is produced in all parts of the country, and it is squeezed from sugarcane harvested by the first frost, so it is named because of its high hardness.
As for the legend about Chen Ziang, probably one reason is that Zizhou produces sugar as a tribute. Chen Ziang was a flood shooter and belonged to Zizhou in the Tang Dynasty.
Second, Chen Ziang is famous for its "broken Hu Qin" in the capital. Tang's Historical Records records: "People shoot floods in Shu.
Ten years in the capital, unknown. At that time, there were people selling Huqin in the East City, and the price was several million, saying that there were noble people, regardless of their position.
Zi Ang stands out from the crowd. "This matter is legendary, so it was pulled by artists in Tang Hua to become a granddaddy.
Tang Hua was born in Sichuan. Because it is deeply loved by the people, it has spread all over the country, and it has spread more and more widely. Nowadays, a large number of Tang Hua artists are active in Beijing, Tianjin, Henan and Shandong.
Tang Hua has taken root in every region, influenced by local customs and culture, and has certain regional and local characteristics. Sichuan Tang Hua's exquisite, amazing.
