As a chinese saying goes, the three wonders of Fengxiang are the
willow around East Lake, the Xifeng wine and the workmanship of the
people. Fengxiang is famous at home and abroad for its crafts of
flok art,especially the painted clay sculpture. With a history of
more than 1000 years,the clay sculptures express the artists' own
ideas of their real lives and vividly resemble what the artists
experience in daily life. The true folk art reflect the
taste,customs and legends of the ordinary people.The lively design,
various pattern and gorgeous colouring contribute a lot to the
uniqueness of Fengxiang painted clay sculpture. what draw more
attention are the positive attitudes towards life, the distinctive
art style and the cultural deposits they show through this long
history folk art. People regard the painted sculptures as symbols
people's hope of good fortune and their best wishes for future, and
they think the painted clay sculpture can keep the evil spirits
away and bring them the ideal life they want.

the title of " Chinese folk arts master".The beautiful painted clay

celebrities all around the world. These art crafts are exported to
Asian, Ameirica, and Europe with good reputation.
in the twelve sodiac signs, the sheep represents amiableness.
Amiableness is always cherished by chinese people, because they
believe each individual should be harmonious getting together while
still keeping there own personalities. Under this circumstances,
amiableness is quite important in people's social lives.It is said
that in the selection race of the twelve zodiac signs, the Horse
and the Sheep arrived the final line almost the same time, but they
two did not fight each other in front of the final line. Instead,
they two asked each other to pass the final line first. the god saw
the scene and praised them two for their modest behaviour, so the
god let them two be the seventh and eighth signs in those
twelve.
