ZHENGZHOU, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- Song Zhanke, 46, is an inheritor of Song's dough sculpture, a renowned dough handicraft in Luoyang. Having lived by the profession for 20-plus years, the inheritor believes that the figure's body-head proportion, gestures, and facial expressions hold the key to this craft.

"It is not only the practice of a skill, but also a pursuit and perception of beauty," Song said.





The dough handicraft takes wheat and glutinous rice flour as its main building materials, which are mixed with oil, salt, vinegar and other ingredients. Using hands and simple tools, an artist kneads and pinches the dough to turn it into intricate and lifelike figures.
