Beijing hairy monkey

Beijing hairy monkey is a unique folk art in old Beijing. Beijing hairy monkey art perfectly combines the natural taste of monkeys with the creation of artists, creating a wonderful artistic realm. In the early years of the Republic of China, there was a hairy monkey artist who set up a stall in Dong 'an market. Because of his surname Wang, people called him "Monkey Wang". There was always a group of people around his stall. A little boy named Cao was fascinated. At first glance, he spent most of the day reading, recording and inquiring, and secretly learned the skills of the hairy monkey. This little boy became the heir of the hairy monkey crafts. He was the hairy monkey artist Cao Yijian. What material is the hairy monkey made of? It turns out that all the things around this hairy monkey are Chinese medicine. Its limbs are made of cicada's limbs, and its body is another traditional Chinese medicine-Flos Magnoliae, that is, the flower bone flower formed by magnolia in autumn. The surface is covered with dense taupe fluff, which is a coat for protecting flowers in winter. When winter goes and spring comes, the fluff gradually recedes, and the flower bone flower slowly grows into beautiful magnolia flowers. This hairy bone flower is very similar to the body of a hairy monkey, which is really wonderful. The hairy monkey's head is a cicada's head, which just matches the flower bone flower. Monkeys sometimes wear a hat, which is also a blind Chinese medicine called Akebia. What binds these parts together is called white chicken, which is also blindly Chinese medicine. It is really natural and wonderful. In this way, the founder of this hairy monkey is familiar with traditional Chinese medicine and has close contact with it.
