Shanxi dough figurines are called differently in different places, and each has its own characteristics. Most of them are made by housewives in rural towns. They are made of high-quality white flour, kneaded, shaped, steamed, and colored. The shapes are exaggerated and vivid, the colors are bright and generous, the style is rough and simple, and full of beauty, with distinct local characteristics. Xinjiang is located in the lower reaches of the Fen River and is one of the main wheat producing areas in Shanxi Province. According to historical records, as early as the Song Dynasty, people began to use white flour to shape pigs and sheep to replace real pigs and sheep for sacrifice. Since then, this economical and practical method has been passed down in the ancient Jiangzhou area. During festivals, every household here uses high-quality wheat to grind into flour and knead various dough figurines to celebrate the festival. Because the dough figurines here focus on color dotting, the colors are gorgeous, the dough figurines are gorgeous and unique, and the shapes are relatively exaggerated, so the locals call them "flower buns", especially the "beast flower buns". There are more than 60 varieties of Xinjiang dough figurines. Due to the soft texture of the dough and the limitations of fermentation, the objects made only seek to resemble in spirit rather than in form. They resemble pottery but are not pottery, and resemble porcelain but are not porcelain. They are highly ornamental and have high artistic and cultural value.
