The Tiger Hill clay figurine's exquisite sculpting technique is the ancient 3D printing!
Suzhou clay sculpture, commonly known as 'colored sculpture' or 'clay toy', is one of the four major clay sculptures in China, including playthings, molded figures, hand-molded opera characters, and silk-dressed clay figurines.
Since Tiger Hill produces fertile clay, the shops are all concentrated around the Shantang area of Tiger Hill, hence the name 'Tiger Hill clay figurines'.
In Suzhou clay sculpture, 'playthings' refer to clay toys, also known as 'earthly figures'. The 'plaything shops' that produce and sell opera clay figurines, such as 'Old Rongxing', 'Old Rongtai', 'Jinhecheng', 'Wangchunji' and others, were located outside the city near Tiger Hill Shantang in the late Qing Dynasty, while the most notable one inside the city was 'Shen Wanfeng Plaything Shop' next to the auspicious gate of Xuanmiao Temple's Leizun Hall.
The history of Suzhou clay sculpture can be traced back to the 'hair-cutting and tattooed' pottery figurines unearthed 6000 years ago, made of grey pottery. Yang Huizhi of the Tang Dynasty, hailed as the 'Master of Sculpture', created the sculpted Arhats on the walls of the Baosheng Temple in Luozhen, which might be his genuine sculptures.
During the Song Dynasty, a large number of daily-use ceramics, toy-making pottery molds, and crucibles for melting metals were unearthed at the Pingquanfang site, proving that this place was originally a concentration of teahouses, taverns, and various handicraft workshops. Chenghu, also known as Chenhu or Chen Lake, where puppet figures with strings were discovered underwater.

Huqiu Jianchi is famous as meeting. Open the door and enter the venue, there are very few people. Walking around, looking, it is also very interesting. If it takes a while, the subway will be more convenient after opening.
Huqiu is very worth a visit. The winter scenery is so beautiful, come back when the mountain flowers are full, you must deeply feel the lush, red and leafy summer! If time permits, you have to put Tiger Hill in the itinerary and slowly feel the place that the emperor likes.
Huqiu can see most of the attractions according to the tour map south gate route. Each attraction has popularized historical and humanistic knowledge. 1. The blind monk in the spring has cured his eyes with spring water; 2. Test sword stone ~ dry will not evil sword, test sword with stone, and divide the stone into two; 3. True Woman Tomb ~ Tang Anshi's chaotic exile in the Qinglou, died by himself. Leading celebrity inscriptions; 4. Thousands of people stone ~ places where the monks teach; 5. Sun Wu Training Ground ~ places where Wu Wang Aiji is beheaded, there are now allusion films screening; 6. Huqiu Jianchi ~ Wu Wang Funeral at the bottom of the pool, and there are thousands of swords to accompany it; (mistaken to think that Wu's husband who was killed by Gou Jian was worse 😂) 7. Yunyan Temple Pagoda ~ The ancient pagoda built in the Song Dynasty, the iconic monument of Huqiu!
Huqiu is very beautiful, one step at a time, and it took almost 6 hours to walk and stop. Huashenyuan is still under construction, and the garden inside is beautiful. But the water in the artificial pool is more turbid, and there are some commercial shoots. It often takes up a good-looking place to shoot. It doesn't matter if you take a few pictures. You can shoot for five or six minutes. Others don't go. I can't take pictures if I want to take pictures. I hope the scenic spot can be managed.
The tour bus in Huqiu Mountain really feels that there is no need to sit. It is more than 300 meters above sea level. It feels like the strength of climbing 3 floors at most. The road up the mountain is very gentle, that is, the elderly can slowly walk up with crutches. The main attractions of Huqiu Mountain are very close, and special military travel can be completed in 10 minutes. But when you stroll on the path and feel the breeze, I suddenly feel that the aura on the mountain is very abundant. It really suddenly feels like this. It may be that the air is very good. In the form of dozens of tickets, my mother and I walked around the corner of the scenic spot. Because of this aura, I recommend everyone to go to PS: I think the temple at the foot of the mountain is very similar to the temple when Su Wukong and Yang Tong fight in the travel history.
