Dough figurine is an art form that uses flour as material and uses kneading, rubbing, cutting, picking, pressing, sticking, and pasting to create shapes. The dough figurine art of "Dough Man Tang" in Tongzhou, Beijing is one of its schools. The dough figurine art of "Dough Man Tang" began in the late Qing Dynasty, and its style was founded by Mr. Tang Zibo (1882-1971), a famous dough figurine artist in modern times. With his profound artistic skills, Mr. Tang Zibo has extensively absorbed the characteristics of sculpture art from various places in his long-term practical activities, and changed the previous folk dough figurines from "lottery-style" dough figurines to "tray-style" desk dough figurines, thus making dough figurines a real folk art. Since then, "Dough Man Tang" has successively created "walnut dough figurines" (fine dough figurines displayed in half a walnut), relief dough figurines, hanging dough figurines, and money-making dough figurines. The materials used include flour, pottery, wood, mud, etc., and wool, feathers, silk thread, cotton and other materials are used to make the beards and hair of people and animals to enhance the effect of resemblance. The dough sculptures of "Noodle Man Tang" are full and full, slightly exaggerated in shape, bright and eye-catching in color, with various production techniques, focusing on spirit and dynamics, and have distinct style characteristics. Today, Mr. Tang Suguo, the second son of Tang Zibo, has inherited the dough sculpture art of "Noodle Man Tang". Due to the high requirements for its production skills, there are currently only two students learning dough sculpture art from Mr. Tang Suguo.
