Yungang silk man

People in Datong have the habit of buying a "clay doll" or a "rag doll" at temple fairs in the Ming Dynasty. Many people will buy a "doll" for their children at the temple fair for good luck in order to beg for their children, live longer, avoid disasters and get rid of diseases. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the "clay doll" has been eliminated, but the "rag doll" has become more and more exquisite. Young women are not willing to work hard on sewing rag dolls to show their ingenuity. Kang Qiaoling, an artist of silk figures in Datong City, is versatile. On the basis of sewing dolls, she uses silk figures to show the facial makeup of dramatic figures in costumes and figures, as well as various Buddha statues in Yungang Grottoes, Huayan Temple, flying geisha and artistic modeling of dramatic figures. The silk man she made is made of silk, silk, satin, yarn, silk and brocade, which has local characteristics and is praised by the masses as "Yungang Silk Man". Due to the continuous improvement of the production technology and the continuous updating of products, Yungang Silk Man has now developed into a large-scale light show silk man, among which the representative works "Datong World", "Yifeng Sample" and "Light of the Coal Sea" won two special awards for welcoming the Asian Games.
