B 传统文化
Zhang Fuhai is a follower of sugar painting—the intangible cultural heritage in Tianjin. The sweet business was inspired by his father, who was also a sugar painter.
“When I was a little boy, the children in the neighbourhood would beg my father for sugar paintings,” he said. At an early age, he began to copy the flowers and insects his father painted, and would even try to create sugar paintings himself. “I thought it was fun, but I never expected to become a sugar painter myself.”
In the 1960s, he finished middle school and became a carpenter(木工) and part-time tailor(裁缝), dealing with all kinds of drawings. He didn’t make up his mind to join the family business until the 1980s. In the following years, he would spend days observing small animals in the fields and rivers. Years of experience as a carpenter and tailor helped improve his painting skills.
His paintings are very creative. So far, he has created hundreds of sugar painting styles. And he updates(更新) all the styles every one or two years. If his customers ask him for something he doesn’t know, he will search on the Internet and try to design the styles in his head.
For now, he is a little worried about passing on the art.
“Few young people are interested in learning sugar painting,” he said. “I hope the younger generation can pay more attention to the intangible heritage. It will sweeten their lives, I promise.”
