Making Chinese Silk Barbie
The Barbie dolls are a kind of famous toys in Western countries because of their long legs, lovely facial expressions(表情) and blonde hair. But do you know that there were dolls just as beautiful and popular in China more than 1,000 years ago? That is Beijing silk figurines(北京绢人).
Beijing silk figurines, “Juan Ren” in Chinese, is a kind of handmade doll made of bamboo and covered with paper. Later in the Northern Song dynasty (960—1127), to meet various needs, thin silk, gauze(纱罗) and damask(锦缎) were added into dressmaking. In 2021, the art of making these dolls was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage.
Hua Shulin, 75, is a master in making Beijing silk figurines. He began to learn making silk figurines in 1983. Before that, he knew nothing about the art of making silk figurines. In March 2025, he was recognized as the representative inheritor in the list of the sixth batch of national intangible cultural heritage. “I never set a limit(限制) on my age. I just want to pass on the craft of making Beijing silk figurines forever,” he said.
Making a silk figurine takes many steps, like designing, painting and making clothes. Artists must make sure the doll's head and body are the right size. Jiao Tianqi, 30, is also an inheritor of Beijing silk figurines. She said, “For a standing doll, the head should be $\frac{1}{7}$ of the body. For a sitting doll, the head should be $\frac{1}{5}$ of the body.”
Silk figurines are made to look like people from famous stories. The artists want to show what kind of person each character is. When making Wang Xifeng from A Dream of Red Mansions, Jiao studied her hairpin(发簪) look from the 1987 TV series to show her important position(地位) in the Jia family. “For Lin Daiyu, we made her look down shyly. This shows that she feels a little lonely,” Jiao said.
Since making silk figurines takes time and hard work, few people carry on the art. To help with this problem, Jiao and her team are using AI technology to make designing easier.
