The vividly coloured, finely shaped figurines of “Clay Figure Zhang” have been seeing a surge in popularity as an authentic and valuable traditional craft.
The nearly 200-year history of “Clay Figure Zhang” began with Zhang Mingshan, who became known for his ability to breathe life and beauty into these painted clay figurines. Born into a poor family, Zhang Mingshan made them as a means of earning a living. He often visited markets where he observed people of all walks of life, and went to theatres to observe those performing on stage. Day in, day out, he used tonnes of clay to mould what he saw and sometimes added decorative items or new features to the figurines. So vivid and lifelike were they that they attracted crowds of spectators to the stand from which he sold them.
Fortunately, Zhang Mingshan’s craftsmanship has been passed down through his descendents, with these distinctive clay figurines now being crafted by the sixth generation of “Clay Figure Zhang”.
