中英雙語話中國民風民俗 第139期:實用的玩具
Toys for Practical Use
實用的玩具Besides being for play, folk toys can also be of practical use, as part of finery, bedding and foodstuff. Children love animal-shaped pillows or hats. Today, the mascot of Olympic Games 2008 in Beijing is the lovely panda hat to numerous zealots. For the foodstuff, flour's plasticity helps people's imagination come true. In Shanxi Province, people are still experts at steaming flour figures. Suppose how pleasant they will be when seeing vivid edible flour rabbits and pigs!
除了是玩耍，民間玩具也是實用的，可以作爲服飾，牀上用品和食品的一部分。孩子們喜歡動物形的枕頭或帽子。今天，在北京舉行的2008年奧運會的吉祥物的可愛的熊貓帽子仍然有衆多癡迷者。對於食品，麪粉的可塑性有助於人們的夢想成真。在山西省，人們還很善於做麪粉人。想想他們會多麼的愜意當他們看到生動的食用粉兔和豬時！
