六、传统文化任务型阅读。（2026·江苏南通·期末）
阅读短文，回答下列问题。
Fengxiang clay figurines are a well-known form of traditional Chinese folk art from Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province. With a history of thousands of years—dating back to the Neolithic Age, these vivid and colourful sculptures are not only works of art but also an important symbol of Shaanxi's rich culture, deeply loved by people both at home and abroad.
In the early days, local people used clay to make simple daily tools and objects for worship. As pottery-making skills continued to develop, the art of clay figurine-making slowly took shape. It finally reached its golden age during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, becoming popular among common people and widely used in festivals, weddings and other important events to bring joy and good wishes.
Their production process is complex and needs great patience. First, artisans choose high-quality local clay. Next, they knead, pound and filter it to take out impurities(杂质). Then, they shape the clay into lively forms like tigers and historical characters by hand or simple tools. After that, the shaped clay goes through natural drying and high-temperature firing. Finally, the most important step—painting—is carried out, with bold, bright colours to create strong visual contrast.
These clay figurines carry deep cultural meanings. For example, tiger-shaped figurines are believed to drive off evil spirits and bring good luck to families. To protect this valuable traditional art, the local government has set up training centres to teach young people the making skills, while some young artisans are trying new things through mixing traditional styles with modern designs to attract more young people.
1. Where are Fengxiang clay figurines from?
2. When did Fengxiang clay figurines enter their golden age?
3. How many steps are required to make Fengxiang clay figurines?
4. What does the local government do to protect Fengxiang clay figurines?
5. How can you keep traditional arts like Fengxiang clay figurines alive?
