三、了解春节习俗和相关手工

1. Spring Festival Couplets

M: The Spring Festival Couplets, also called door couplets are used to express good wishes of the New Year.

Usually we buy the door couplets from the store. But today we will write couplets on our own. Traditional couplets are done with ink and brush.

Irene's mommy prepared black ink and red paper for us. Because couplets are always written in black ink on red paper, which is bright and elegant[ˈelɪɡənt]（优雅的）.

You can choose your favorite lines then we will write them together. As for the contents, most people will choose to express the auspiciousness and wishes for the coming year.

Finished! We can paste them on the two sides of the doors. Pasting couplets is not an easy job. Usually, they should be pasted before New Year’s Eve, and the best time is between 13:00 and 15:00 on the 29th of lunar December.

The correct pasting order is: upper scroll → lower scroll → horizontal scroll. You can distinguish the upper and lower scrolls from the writing order of the horizontal scroll.

2. Fu Characters

M: We will write fu character too.

The Fu characters are also essential Chinese New Year decorations. The Fu character in Chinese means ‘blessing’ and ‘good fortune’ .

We are done! We should paste it upside down on the door because the inversion in Chinese called “dao” has the same pronunciation with the ‘coming’ in Chinese.

An inverted Fu character means the good fortune is coming.

3. Red envelope

M: Do you like money? What would you like to buy with money? During spring festival you can get much money from red envelop.

Red envelopes, also known as lucky money, are money wrapped in red paper by adult for children. During the Spring Festival, red envelopes given by elders to younger generations after 0 o 'clock on New Year's Eve are called "Lucky money", which means to bring them good wishes and good luck in the New Year.

Would you like mommy and daddy to bring you good wishes and good luck? You can make your own red envelop. On New year's eve we will put money in it and give it to you on the first morning of New year.

Ired of the average lollipop?厌倦了普通的棒棒糖？

When it comes to indulgent foods and foods that are more than worthy of being plastered all over social media, Chinese sugar painting deserves some time in the spotlight. Sugar painting is a traditional Chinese form of folk art. Hot liquid sugar or caramel is used to create two-dimensional figures like small animals. Sugar art is pretty popular with children, but it’s beautiful enough to intrigue just about anyone.

Well, let me introduce you to the traditional Chinese form of art known as sugar painting or 糖画!

The background of sugar painting糖画的由来

The art of sugar painting is said to go back around 400-600 years ago to the time of the Ming dynasty, when sugar figures were made in molds as part of a sacrifice in religious rituals. Sugar tiger, sugar lion or figures of ministers were sacrificed to gods and ancestors in Royal Court in Ming Dynasty. Then the handicraft spread in the folk and evolved into sugar painting gradually.

据说糖画的艺术可以追溯到大约400-600年前的明朝时期，当时糖塑是在模具中制作的，这是宗教仪式中祭奠的一部分。在明代皇室祭祀中供奉神灵和祖先。然后手工艺品在民间传播，并逐渐演变成糖画。

Cai Shu quan, born in a sugar painting aristocratic family in Sichuan province perform sugar painting show in metropolis at home even go abroad such as Japan, Germany, Spanish, Singapore and so on.

蔡树全，出生于四川省的一个糖画贵族家庭，在国内大都市里进行糖画表演，甚至在日本，德国，西班牙，新加坡等国都表演过。

Folk story about Sugar Painting 糖画的传说故事

According to the memory of the old artists Shiyun Bai, Yongcheng Li and Deran Fan, in Tang Dynasty, great poet Ziang Chen born in Chengdu preferred to saccharose with another different way from other people. Firstly, he made the saccharose melt, then molded all kinds of patterns of animals and flowers on a smooth and clean table. After the solidification, he ate them while viewing.

（关于糖画，还有一个更加生动有趣的民间故事。）根据（糖画老艺人）白世云、樊德然、黎永成的记忆，唐代出生于成都的伟大诗人陈子昂更喜欢与其他人不同的方式吃糖。首先，他将蔗糖融化，然后在光滑整洁的桌子上塑造出各种动物和花朵的图案。待凝固后，一面赏玩一面食用，自觉雅趣脱俗。

Some day, Ziang Chen was admiring his own workmanship. The little crown prince saw these animals when passing, so he asked for some. When back to the palace, the sugar was eat up, the little crown prince was crying for more, which bothered the emperor. So Ziang Chen was called up into the palace and performed the handicrafts on the spot.

clear

有一天，陈子昂很欣赏自己的做工。小皇太子路过时看到了这些动物（糖画），所以向他要了一些。回到宫殿时，糖被吃光了，小王储又哭了，这困扰了皇帝。于是，陈子昂被召入皇宫，并要他当场表演手工艺。

Ziang Cheng shaped the melt saccharose into a copper cash, immediately, the little crown prince got tears away and smiled. The emperor was happy to promote Ziang Chen as You Shiyi (an official name in Tang Dynasty). After Ziang Chen retired, in order to reward the emperor’s patronage, he took somebody as his apprentices to pass on the technique. Spreading from hand to hand, the handicraft of sugar painting was passed down in folk.

陈子昂带去的黄糖溶化，在光洁的桌面上倒了一枚铜钱，用一支竹筷粘上送到小太子手中。立刻，小皇太子哭了起来，笑了。 皇帝很高兴将陈子昂升为右拾遗（唐代的官名）。陈子昂退休（解衣归里）后，为了纪念皇上的恩遇，便收了几个徒弟传授此技。糖画的手工艺品在人与人之间传播，并在民间流传下来。

Where can it be found? 在哪里能找到糖画

Sugar Painting (糖画), as its name suggests, is made from sugar. It is reviewed as both sugar and panting to view or eat. It can be seen whenever on temple fair, market fair or in park. Sugar painting is a kind of folk traditional handicrafts, especially prevailing in northern China. 

顾名思义，糖画是由糖制成的。它既是糖又是画，能看也能吃。在庙会，集市或公园里都可以看到它。糖画是一种民间传统手工艺品，在中国北方尤为流行。

Sugar painting can be found in various areas of China, but is typically found around the Sichuan Province.

糖画可以在中国的各个地区找到，但通常在四川省附近可以找到。

How do the artist make the sugar painting? 如何做糖画

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.

在画布上绘画与用糖绘画有很大不同，因此当我第一次看到糖绘画在活动中时，我为每幅绘画的精确度和细节感到惊讶。

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 to an enthusiastic child. Just imagine having your very own dragon souvenir made out of sugar!

尽管这种工艺有各种各样的技巧，但大多数手艺人都使用钢包，将热糖淋在光滑的平板上，画出人物的轮廓。 然后用小勺子淋糖，以产生复杂的图案，例如漩涡或锯齿形。用木棍穿过固定住人物，用刮铲状的工具将其从表面移开，准备献给热情的孩子。试想一下，用糖制成自己的龙纪念品！

To acquire liquid sugar, the painter has to cook the solid sugar in a pot before painting. The liquid sugar falls down as a thin thread onto the “paper” from the slanting spoon. After a short while, a plane animal is created. Then the painter separates the painting from the marble with a shovel, puts a wooden prod on the painting, and gives it to the kid. In the sunshine, holding the shining sugar painting when walking along the street, the child is proud and happy.

为了让糖熔化，手艺人必须在绘画前在锅中熬煮固体糖。糖液以细线状从斜勺掉落到“纸”上。片刻之后，便创建了一个平面动物。然后手艺人用铲子将画作与大理石分离，将木签放在画作上，然后交给孩子。在阳光下，沿着街道行走时，拿着闪亮的糖画，孩子感到骄傲和快乐。

As a unique art for producing artistic pieces entirely composed of sugar, sugar painting is very different from normal painting. First, since the liquid sugar could freeze solid if it cools, the painter has to produce the work very quickly. Second, the painter has to follow some orders of strokes and draw a continuous line into a picture of an animal or other pattern.

作为完全由糖组成的艺术作品的独特艺术，糖画与普通绘画有很大不同。首先，由于糖液冷却后，会凝结成固体。因此手艺人必须非常迅速地进行创作。其次，画家必须遵循一些笔画顺序，并在动物或其他图案的图片中画一条连续的线。
