Hou Hai, Beijing, China

This art dates back more than 600 years. It is said that the first caramel blower was named Liu Bowen, a minister in Ming Dynasty (1368-1644.) Unfortunately, this high-ranking official was removed from the Imperial Palace. During his exile he found an old man who had a yoke and buckets full of sugar. The men exchanged their clothes so that Liu won't be captured. Liu Bowen travelled around with his new appearance. One day, when he was selling sugar, the former minister had the idea of heating the sugar and making figurines out of it. Amazed, the children quarreled to get the roosters, dogs, and other animals in caramel. Seeing his success, Liu Bowen decided to teach this art to the passing people, and that is how this art has been passed on from generation to generation.
