Lingshi dough modeling

Lingshi dough figurines are called lamb buns by local people. In ancient times, "sheep" was the same as "auspicious", which means good luck. Before the Spring Festival comes, peasant women will knead dough-plastic products with images of kittens, puppies, tigers, jade rabbits, chickens, ducks, fish frogs, grapes, pomegranates, eggplants, bergamot, etc. to symbolize good luck and prosperity. At the Cold Food Festival, the dough sculpture used to worship ancestors at the grave is "snake dish". It is said that eating the "snake head" can "reduce the poison head and avoid disaster".
