amberjack1234 Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 OH no, hell no. Not for me. I use to climb and work off of the 110' areal ladder that we use to have (in fact it was stationed at my station when we first bought it) but those days are long gone now but that is some beautiful pictures of course. Makes me dizzy just looking at them. Link to comment

In spring, farmers flood their fields and soak them into mud. During spring ploughing, children go to the field to catch the field snail and loach. When it comes to rice transplanting, farmers plant field ridge beans and release some fish seedlings. Carp can reduce the occurrence of weeds and insect pests in the field, and the developed root system of field ridge beans can protect the field ridge. At harvest time, drain the fields again and gather fish, rice and soybeans. After harvest, ducks and goats are driven into the field, foraging for leftover grains and new weeds.

As less people choose to make this kind of painting, the traditional Chinese folk craft might have become a distant memory in some ways. However, a 38-year old craftsman, Li Jianzhong, is committed to keeping the art of sweet painting alive. From Mugou village in Gaoping city in #Shanxi province, Li worked as a miner for more than ten years. After the mine closed down, Li turned to interior decorating, until he was forced to give that up due to a finger injury. Earlier this year, he discovered sugar painting, something he really had an interest in and a strong desire to learn. Since there was no sugar painting craftsman in his village, he studied by himself through videos and information on the internet. He soon mastered the skill and can make various kinds of sugar arts. Sugar painting is ususally made with melted brown or white sugar. Craftsman often paint animals and flowers on a stone board with the syrup. When the sugar cools down, a piece of sugar art is finished. "The most important thing is brewing sugar. If the temperature is too high, the sugar color will darken and won't be that transparent and beautiful," Li said. Li said he loved painting when he was young, and he found it easy to learn the artistry of sugar painting. from the People's Daily on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/PeoplesDaily/posts/2547852308599904 Quote Sugar painting, a traditional Chinese snack, is popular for its interesting looks and good taste. Photos show Han Zhengyou, a 60-year-old inheritor in E China's #Anhui, making sugar paintings with his secret recipe passed down through generations.
