BRING HAPPINESS TO CHINESE FAMILIES

Da＇afu, or clay sculptures of a little boy and a little girl, are representative of the clay figurines produced in the uishan area of Wuxi, a city in East China＇s Jiangsu Province. In May 2006, China added the figurines to the list of the country＇s intangible cultural heritage. Dressed in Chinese-styled clothes, and holding a large lion or kylin （an auspicious legendary animal with a horn and scales） in his/her arms, each da＇afu looks gentle, but powerful and dignified. For hundreds of years, the figurines have brought happiness to countless Chinese families.
