  Fengxiang Colored-Drawing Clay Sculpture
 

As a folk artwork of Shanxi, it has had 600 years of history, with birds and animals as the models with exaggeration and rich colors. It was said that Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty had ever stationed his troop here, most of his soldiers were Jiangxi brothers who could make clay sculptures. After being settled here as farmers, they often made toys and presents in their spare time. As time passes by, it has become today's clay sculpture with colored drawings. As the tourist business develops, this ancient flower of folk art grows more and more prosperous, and it has become an important tourist souvenir of Shaanxi.
