Sugar Blower is an industry in Beijing in the old days. In Beijing dialect, it is called "Sugar Blower", which is one of the folk handicrafts in China. Peddlers are walking around the streets with a pole on their shoulders. At one end of the pole is a rectangular cabinet with a rack. There is a semi-circular wooden round cage with an opening under the cabinet, and there is a small charcoal stove in it. A large spoon on the stove is filled with syrup (obtained by melting maltose). Many craftsmen are both blowing sugar people and drawing sugar people. Compared with the sugar blower, it's easier to draw the sugar man. First, gently rub it on the marble slab with linoleum, scoop up a little syrup with a very delicate small copper spoon, and it will slowly flow out with a slight inclination. As the wrist flies up and down, people, animals or flowers will appear on the marble slab, and they will stay cold and finalize the design. Historical legend-It is said that the granddaddy of the sugar blower was Liu Bowen. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang built a "hero pavilion" to burn heroes in order to pass on his throne from generation to generation. Liu Bowen narrowly escaped, and was saved by an old man who picked the sugar man's burden. They changed their clothes, and since then, Liu Bowen has remained anonymous, picking the sugar man to change rags every day. In the process of selling sugar, Liu Bowen creatively softened the sugar and made all kinds of sugar figures, such as chickens and puppies, which were cute and children rushed to buy them. On the way, many people asked Liu Bowen to teach them how to blow sugar, and Liu Bowen taught them one by one. As a result, this craft has spread from mouth to mouth, and it is said that it has a history of more than 6 years.
