As Xiong Chuanfa blew a lively dog out of molten maltose（溶化的麥芽糖） in just several minutes，kids looked carefully at him with great surprise，thinking he was a magician.
    Xiong Chuanfa has been working on blowing sugar figurines（雕塑） for more than twenty years.In this special art form，the artist heats the syrup（糖漿） to a certain temperature，pulls off a small amount，makes it into a hall with an open center，presses the open area together and stretches it to form a tube.Then he blows air into the tube and makes it into different shapes.The traditional folk art has been listed as a state-level intangible cultural heritage（非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)）.
    Every morning，Xiong prepares the molten syrup and drives to start his "magic show"around his city."Many people，especially kids，are interested in this sugar art.After all，the ancient art is gradually disappearing，"Xiong said.Simon，from Australia，was interested，too.Simon couldn't resist trying to make one himself.However，he couldn't get the wanted shape though he tried several times."It looks simple，but actually it's very difficult to master the skill，" he said.With Xiong's help，Simon finally saw a horse gradually taking shape.He couldn't help expressing his excitement at how a pot of sugar syrup has been turned into something amazing.
    Xiong said that blowing sugar figurines can date back to the Ming Dynasty and that his family has passed down this art for four generations."My 6-year old son often blows.jye.ai a balloon-like sugar figure，just like I used to do as a child."he said.Xiong's wife Wang Li is an artist of the sugar painting，which is a form of traditional Chinese folk art that uses hot，liquid sugar to make 2-D objects.
    "None of the cultural heritage left by our ancestors should be lost.They should be spread around the world，"Xiong said.—The couple often show .their skills beside colleges to draw the young closer to the traditional art and allow them to experience its charm."Sugar paintings and sugar figurines are childhood memories of several generations of Chinese people We try to combine paper-cutting skills and modern elements（元素） with sugar figurines while keeping a balance between beauty and taste.We will spend the rest of our lives helping pass on this intangible heritage，"Xiong said.
